I wasn't gassing them. They beat an MIBR team in free fall and it took 3 maps. Looked okay at best.

There are no really mid tier team in Americas. Its either really good teams or trash teams so there are really no good match ups week to week. only mid tier teams are probably like C9 and EG. 100 Theives might be mid tier but they bullied two bad teams.

Honestly NRG's got some decent players now. They just need a competent IGL. FNS wasn't even this bad. They could be decent with FNS. Lowkey NRG pick up Boostio maybe. Boostio saves NRG.

Dude is perpetually lost on attack.

He can't call an attack side worth shit. Same issue last year.

This was always going to happen. NRG can't call worth shit on attack. Ethan doesn't know how to IGL. Brawk is always lost and screws up his Initiator util. Team is only good in the off season when nothing matters.

I don't know how much but Crashies probably was a spy the whole time to sabotage the team.

Icebox was a disaster but Alfa and Crashies are selling.

Nah Alfa is in selling mode. Complete sell mode.

Bro is calling game. He forgot for a moment that he was playing Heretics but now he's remembered.

He's been missing in some of those clutches recently. Glad the Clutchster is returning.

Real GF was Fnatic vs PRX in the Semis.

Last game was a semi final game. This game is a grand final so Heretics must choke. 5 straight going on 6 straight grand final loses.

He also was very shaky at kickoff. Bro was on pie watch the entire kickoff. But he has really fit into this team and is looking great. Probably needed to get his confidence back and he clearly enjoys the vibes and environment of Fnatic which is massive for the mental game.

Yeah but they won it against Heretics though and Heretics are generational chokers. The win was big back then but now that Heretics has lost 5 straight finals it hasn't aged well but I do love the fact that Gen G shut that Shanghai crowd the fuck up. Well deserved.

Insane to say that EWC is greater than Master 2 level but it is near a Master 2 level but not greater.

Which team can choke harder. How big of a lead are we betting that each team is going to throw?

I would put on like a 2nd Masters level.

PRX fans are great. You're looking at Twitter too much. I always have enjoyed PRX and their fans. Granted I hated them after they beat us in Toronto but now I feel better and like them again.

They looked good but Fnatic are so disciplined on this map. This is why I love our Split.

No PRX earned the trophy. They used the double map ban advantage perfectly. Any team would.

I like Astra better but Omen is also very good. I think its personal preference really.

Well that was more like a 13-7 game but Fnatic comeback gene kinda activated. That map wasn't has close as the score line was.

I say its 50/50. Its gonna come down to the wire. Whether it was Lotus or Split both teams are amazing on each map. We got out the stomps for each team now for the real game.

Double duelist has more potential for us. Alfa is definetely better on Neon than Kaajak but Kaajak just does not hit on that map unless he has an OP. FNC can destroy like the middle tier teams on EMEA on that map but its not good enough to win against good teams internationally.

Watching Vitality look lost in the mid round is hilarious. That team just fell apart.

PRX Ascent = FNC Sunset. This was always pretty much a BO1 for the decider map.

He did have a bad game on Sunset but we as a team are shit on that map so that was always a freebie for PRX.

We're not. Boaster is overcooking this attack so fucking hard. Like just poit A on that round.

We were always going to lose Sunset but they gave us hope which is fucking annoying.

He's still crashing out after losing to us.

I generally like the showmatch but when your team is playing in the final its the most annoying thing of all time.

They cooked on Sunset but they could surprise PRX with Pearl but if Fnatic win its either 3-2 or 3-1. No chance of 3-0.

PRX has also never seen our Pearl. So we could have something up our sleeves but I think its gonna be 3-2 win for us. With loses on Sunset and Pearl.

IGL's that have looked up to Boaster as a menter for their career are 0-3 this tournament against Fnatic. Siufat also looks up to Boaster, so it might be cooked for you guys.

PRX bans Haven and then either Lotus or Ascent and then pick Pearl or Sunset. With the rest of the vetoes as follows. Ultimately I don't trust PRX in a BO5 game and I think Fnatic wins 3-2 with loses on Pearl and Sunset. If Fnatic win either Pearl or Sunset PRX is cooked.

Cloud 9 first has to get over the hurdle of winning a regional playoff game. After that then they have to learn how to win a international playoff game. So maybe champs 2027 or 2028.

Crashies has got good util right now. He's also getting his kills but not carrying.

They hard anti strated us and the team was lowkey burnt out. If you watch their Tokyo vlogs. The team was already running on vapors. Just didn't have any time to innovate for Champs.

I know. I was reliving his clip to close out the game at Champs last year. Insane 3k blind spray done.

Not all hope is lost. Lotus is our best map. We also are good on Split. We can 2-0- them here.

Yes we need prime Kaajak and Alfa. Alfa looking like vintage 2023 Alfa. If we got those two on heaters we can win the whole thing.

Kaplan won a world championship and brought Sen back from the brink. Has much as I hate Sen. He's a good coach.

Counter spam. Also Boaster is like the ultimate smoke kill merchant.

Factor in that Boaster can't aim and its 4.5 vs 5. So Sen is still up in the 5v5.

He's still well below average and now he's facing the best of the best in this tournament. He also from the cameras in a lot of rounds seems nervous.

Its ok. They were Tejo crutching on it but they probably just play Sova instead.

Boaster would be too OP if he hit shots. This is how the Valorant gods nerfed him.

Fnatic was never going to win this series 2-0 with this map veto. Honestly the moment I saw Sunset. I thought just go next to Ascent. We lose it.

Munchkin will forever be defined by that save call up 11-10. I knew they lost at that moment. They were mentally defeated and broken. There was no confidence left.
