People talk about how whoever wins will have the first 2 time lan champion.

Another cool stat is whichever of them loses will join an elite group of the only the former Optic to be the only people to lose MULTIPLE grand finals.

Please, that'll be too much for Fnatic as an org

Damn, maybe nerve pain? That's a valid excuse honestly, genuinely sucks. I hope t's at least gotten better for him.

What happened to his arm?

Fnatic's strong half was attack. Literally a 10-2. They got enough rounds already.

yessir just chill and watch the shit go down

The dinosaur Mario physically abuses

when listening to Yoshi music. Swear to god this game hits so much harder with the most mellow music in history backing it. Superior viewing experience.

Never seen his stream, but all I know is that I compared him to Jimmy falon and he needed a redeming factor because of it.

That was FNS level whiff

Imagine if Jimmy Falon was

a) Funny
b) Dancy
c) twitch streamer

I too have never dropped a map to fnatic.

Thank you Fnatic for facing 4 America's teams so we can base America's ranks (mostly) off how each team did vs Fnatic. Love that from them.

Smart play, I love it.

To be fair though, FNS and Chet are SIGNIFICANTLY better than any other NA IGL. FNS isn't even 1 step ahead, his average is still a few steps above the peak of any other NA IGL.

In your objective opinion, would NRG have done better against Fnatic than Loud has?

I Ain't Reading all that Version: Could Chet counterstrats have done enough for NRG to get more rounds than Loud has gotten vs Fnatic?

Loud and NRG were basically 50:50 in their game, but the key factor that is noticeable in this Loud v Fnatic is how little Loud worked to counter Fnatic. In this hypothetical, we are giving the two best minds in Valorant (Chet and FNS) two weeks to strat based on other teams and Fnatic. I'm not asking if NRG would have won, I don't think they would have, but simply if NRG (mostly with that MASSIVE prep period and meta knowledge) would have done better than Loud has.

Not even bandwagoning, he just looks objectively like the best player in the world. Like, he does things that seem impossible. When Boaster was told to cook, he was making Leo a 5 star meal.

Loud is a lock/in (tee hee)
Lev land NRG are easily number 2 and 3
Sentinels, Furia, 100T could all fight for #4. All had to face Fnatic who look like the MOST prepared team in Lock/in.

I'd say Sentinels have the highest possible peak, but Furia is insane and lead the hunt for #4. 100T don't look as strong as Furia, but don't have the talent of Sentinels, so I'd have them at 6th.

Exalt gonna go crazy at halftime

It's either 4, which would be in line with the other regions
I'd personally go with 3 and give masters winner a slot
Possible (If china has another bad tournament outside of EDG) that Riot might give up a bit on Chinese Valorant for 2023 and give them 1 slot.

Curveball: The big 3 get 4 slots each, winner of Lock/in region gets +1 CHamps slot, winner of Masters gets +1 champs slot. Least likely option, but a possible 6/4/4/2 split

SO 16 teams. If I had to guess, that's:
4 from EMEA, NA, and Pacific
3 China
+1 for winner of Masters

I don't think they'll give China 4 slots due to how new the scene is. Plus, at Masters they only get the 2 spots, I don't think they'd double it and give it to the next tournament.

Bro I'd go insane to a different degree. Me alone would make more noise than a college football game.

Dizzy is fucking trash, Wingman tanky as fuck, green goog guy is wierd.

BRO HE HAS 100HP? WAY TOO MUCH

Fnatic 2-0 Loud

"It's a 5 map series tho"

Saadhak roles up into a ball after losing map 2, with Boaster over top of his quaking body doing the Fortnite L dance which causes Loud to forfeit.

Every fan in the crowd then gets a bagel because Derke bought some bagels for them. What a nice lad.

I hope it's some tasteful Brimstone nudes

hmmmmmmmm

Something on PRX solos any C9 squad.

NA has the a bigger playerbase, viewerbase, and amount of funds. They're a major region off population, not off skill.

Like WW2 russia, they have the manpower whereas other regions have better strats or skill.

NAvi 2-0

"Its a 5 map series tho?!?"

Boaster roles into a ball after map 2 and Fnatic forfeit.

No, no im not trying to Jinx. Totally.

Idk, PRX peaked that tournament. Would have been close.

That is wack

Crazy fucking stat, thats true impact

She got leukemia

1. Sacy
2. Meteor
3. Suygetsu

Aye, anyone who says shit ending:

GIVE ME A BETTER ENDING THEN. MAKE ONE UP.

It's hard to end a series like AOT, it's the same with so many influential anime.

EMEA teams 90% of the time beat America's teams off strats alone. If loud can match those strats, then they can beat the EMEA grand finalist.

It's just whether or not this Loud squad has the discipline to beat EMEA.

I'm cheering for America's now, I have since they were combined. I mean, I'm GenG above all else but I like how all the America's temas play. I'm behind all the NA, LATAM, and Brazil teams.

I thought about this exact thing, and it just depends on how Tenz feels. It's gotta be rough on him mentally to be practicing and potentially travelling while his fiancée is going through cancer. Yay being available puts pressure off him of letting Sentinels hang in the wind without a suitable
replacement, Yay is a suitable replacement. Wouldn't be role issues either.

Title basically. Whoever wins Lock/in will hold the first 2 time champ. Either:

Chronicle as the lone 2 time champ
Aspas, Less and Saadhak as what would be the best core in history
The whole Navi roster would be 2 time champs, and a clear favorite for the rest of the year.

As a Canadain, I love the small American slander that was just thrown in there.

I think maybe Stax could join Tarik in the showmatch. More Asian representation, he's a good enough player to match Pancada, and he's definitely enough of a personality to make it fun.

The most similar thing between you and your username is that neither has any eye's.

MFs when the role meant to die first does good by not dying first

Aspas isn't great.

He the greatEST

There is none. LOUD's weak half is defense. GL on map 2

As a region NA is easily the best as a collective, but of it's teams NA just doesn't have a top 5 team globally. Navi, DRX and Loud are all better than the best NA team in NRG. But EG is easily the best of the worst teams of each region.
