I gotta start charging for this shit man
#Nostradamus
Part 1: https://www.vlr.gg/398900/botster/
~ 10:53, 14:05, 19:51 https://youtu.be/MU2FzpXgfW8?si=QXXt4K3WIkklaeXT
The more things change the more they stay the same lmfaooo
This is a monster game (~3K/D, perfect FK/FD, etc), in champs playoffs, against the winners, part of arguably the greatest bo3 performance of all time, while sick. According to S0m, he basically ruined their entire haven attack macro: https://youtu.be/ojhStEO4uJs?si=9Amd20hlR-k_CCNL&t=394
If you scored it with the same method I did, which performance tops it?
Nats Bind vs SEN
Performance: 9.5/10
Setting: 7/10 (Masters Swiss Stage against winless, last place team)
How it holds up today: 10/10
Other Factors: 7.5/10 (minor points for being the biggest stomp of the tourney, otherwise not noteworthy)
34/40
Also I don't even like NRG, I just don't fw fnatic
And KangKang would have lost points for being on the most broken agent in the game's modern history, Smoggy's Abyss performance was objectively more impressive, as was Chichoo's Lotus, and I had Smoggy's as the highest of those at 36.5 (go make your own list if ur don't like it)
Good shoutout
Performance: 9/10
Setting: 10/10 (champs finals)
How it holds up today: 8.5/10 (not ancient but teams are a solidly better these days)
Other Factors: 9/10 (arguably cemented himself as the best raze in the world over the other option: Jingg, because of this map)
36.5/40
Even with a slightly generous 9 for 'other factors' it still doesnt crack top 5
Performance: 9.5/10
Setting: 9/10 (champs playoffs)
How it holds up today: 7/10 (long gone chamber meta + they're playing phx/astra on ascent)
Other Factors: 7?/10 (anything special/notable about this that i'm not remembering?)
32.5/40
Hyunmin Ascent vs PRX
Performance: 8.5/10 (at least a half step lower than anything on the top 5, this could easily be an 8 btw)
Setting: 9/10 (champs playoffs)
How it holds up today: 10/10 (duh)
Other Factors: 8.5/10 (only positive on team, but its not like they're boastering, they're all near even)
36/40
At the end of the day, this is my opinion, you are free to make your own list
ORIGINAL: https://www.vlr.gg/410689/top-5-single-map-performances-ever
I considered 4 factors:
Honorable Mentions (not ordered or ranked):
Jawgemo Bind vs PRX
Smoggy Abyss vs TH
Aspas Lotus vs Sentinels
Alfajer Lotus vs PRX
Chichoo Lotus vs TH
Cryo Bind vs FUT
Marved Haven vs Zeta
Nats Fracture vs Acend
Yay Haven vs 100T
Yay Ascent vs Liquid
QCK Sunset vs EDG
Woot Sunset and Bind vs Navi
Woot Icebox vs FPX
Tehbotol Breeze vs Optic
Tenz Breeze vs F4Q
Aspas Icebox vs C9
Zekken Split vs GenG
Less Icebox vs Optic
Sacy Ascent vs Optic
Shao Haven vs DRX
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#5 Less Split vs PRX
2.33 Rating, 424 ACS, 24/7, +17
The Performance Itself : 9.5/10
The Setting : 9/10
How it holds up in the present day : 8.5/10
Other factors : 10/10
Total Score : 37/40
Formerly the #1 performance, a relatively unknown masterclass by Less in Champions 2023 playoffs vs PRX is now the 5th place.
An incredible statline during champs playoffs against a finalist while playing an extremely off-meta pick catapults Less into the upper echelon. Unfortunately for him, while the Valorant played is certainly not ancient, it is not fully modern either, and as such a point has been deducted since the last list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#4 Brawk Corrode vs Fnatic
1.93 Rating, 375 ACS, 24/7, +17
The Performance Itself : 9.5/10
The Setting : 10/10
How it holds up in the present day : 10/10
Other factors : 8/10
Total Score : 37.5/40
Dropping a near 2.0 Rating with a > 3 K/D in the most recent Champions Grands finals is ridiculous, earning him near perfect/perfect marks in the the first 3 categories. The only thing going against him is that there was nothing else particularly remarkable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#3 Aspas Haven vs NRG
1.73 Rating, 318 ACS, 23/8, +15
The Performance Itself : 9/10
The Setting : 9/10
How it holds up in the present day : 10/10
Other factors : 10/10
Total Score : 38/40
Aspas absolutely fries NRG in Champs playoffs, with nearly a 3 K/D while hard entrying (a perfect 6-0 in FK/FD). He gets a full score in 'other factors' for this not just being against the soon to be World Champs, but also due to it being part of probably the greatest performance ever. Oh, and he did it while sick.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2 Brawk Haven vs GiantX
2.40 Rating, 324 ACS, 18/1, +17
The Performance Itself : 10.5/10
The Setting : 9/10
How it holds up in the present day : 10/10
Other factors : 10/10
Total Score : 39.5/40
Brawk tosses Giantx into the torture chamber and throws away the key.
Most kills in the server, 1 death, 4k both pistols, IN CHAMPS PLAYOFFS. We will never see this again. The only improvement possible would have been to go completely flawless with no deaths for an 11, but he'll have to settle for only a 10.5/10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1 Ethan Sunset vs Fnatic
1.71 Rating, 355 ACS, 23/12, +11
The Performance Itself : 9/10
The Setting : 11/10
How it holds up in the present day : 10/10
Other factors : 10/10
Total Score : 40/40
'I have to keep singing the praises of Ethan though...Ethan is going above and beyond the call of duty right now' - Pansy and Hypoc, Round 6
Ethan puts the cape on and saves the day. It's Map 5 of Champs Grand Finals, the stakes could not be higher. The performance could hardly have been better. It's the kind of game that every competitor dreams of having, on the biggest stage and under the brightest lights to lead your team to win it all. With it, he makes history as the first ever two-time World Champion, the most decorated player in the game's history. Oh, and did I mention he did it on a nerfed Breach?
They were better than Tokyo NRG and beat them fair and square (although ardiss for real shit the bed - still his fault just putting it out there), all im saying is S0m got his revenge
Listen, i'm no fnatic glazer (could you tell?) but its nobodies fault but loud's that they didn't perform at Tokyo. What they were dealing with is on them, totally different from the EG/PRX situation
'still' LMAOOOOOOOO
Poetry in Motion, all of Tokyo has now been avenged
--------
NRG : S0m, the last remaining member beats Fnatic in a grand final to win champs, while talking shit
PRX: Get their long awaited trophy by beating Fnatic in a grand finals, Former Pacific MVP Something redeems his Lotus C mound fuckup from champs by 4k clutching against the team he was previously denied the chance to conquer
EG: Wins champs a month later (full strength), Ethan goes on to put Belt-to-Ass against Fnatic on Map 5 to deny them champs and win his second

What's crazy is that their entire legacy depends on people pretending Lock-In wasn't a glorified showmatch
And that's not even to mention the asterisks around Tokyo: https://www.vlr.gg/393738/fnatic-was-never-great
The last unquestionable one was 2022 FPX
Crashies classic whiff on Sacy or Kaajak Awp whiff on Brawk?
it def isn't a major but 'if PRX and TH play in a grand final both would lose' was literally a meme before that 😂
They gave PRX, TH, and NRG their first trophies Back-to-Back-to-Back
Condition 1: Real Event with Competitive Format? ✔️
Condition 2: Other top teams are allowed to compete at full strength? ✔️
There was never any doubt
NRG 3-2 FNC, 10/05/2025
They straight up skipped posting the voice comms vs MIBR
acting like it never happened 😂😂😂
GOAT = Greatest of All Time
To be the greatest of all time, it is a prerequisite to be the greatest at a minimum of one point in time. If you were not, you don't have a case.
No statistical pyrotechnics or psychobabble can change this.
Given that chronicle was never the best player in the world at any discernible point in time, he does not meet the minimum criteria to be the Greatest across all time
----------------------------------------------------------
What further disqualifies him is that, in a very similar vein, to be the greatest at any point in time, it is a prerequisite to be the greatest on your own team at any period of time. He has yet to achieve this, which is a prerequisite for the prerequisite
----------------------------------------------------------
Lets say you played your entire career for the San Antonio Spurs, and were never the best player on the Spurs for any period of time. You cannot be the GOAT of basketball. This is because to be in consideration for that, you have to at least be the best player in the NBA at some point in time. Because you were not even the best player on the Spurs, you can't be the best player in the NBA.
This is why Dirk Nowitzki is a greater player than Manu Ginobili, even though Manu Ginobili has more championships. It doesn't even matter if he had 7 championships like Robert Horry. Dirk Nowitzki was the best player in the world at a point in time, and neither Manu nor Horry were (let alone on their teams), and thus Dirk is greater than both of them.
Nah and he tried to erase Nats legacy too bruh we all know who mvp'd Berlin
Bro trying so hard to mix the team and individual stats to make it look like this is close 😂
Chron wasn't even top 3 players on FNC '23
Zellsis (1 Titles)
Mako
Where is the argument? This is straight facts, nothing to argue. Zellsis is better than Mako and until he wins more than him we shall discuss later.
Introduce yourself to everyone and try to make friends with everyone, especially the first few weeks. Go out all the time and make connections. This is probably the single most important part of the college experience
Internships, Internships, Internships. If that wasn't clear, let me repeat: INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS. Apply early. You do not want to be graduating with no work experience in your field. One more time: INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS
Time Management: You will have a seemingly unbelievable amount of free time. This new freedom is great, but it puts the onus on you. Unless you are taking some ungodly amount of units, you will have more than enough time to study and keep your grades up, its honestly not even that hard UNLESS you are somebody who does not have the discipline to set aside some time to get their shit done. Get your shit done (study, HW, etc) early and don't procrastinate, and your life will be 10x easier.
Dont fuck around with midterms (and they come at you quick), start prepping at least 2 weeks prior. DO NOT CRAM and you should be fine
Know how to put on a condom (this applies if your a girl too btw)
Keep 1-2 pedialytes/gatorades on standby in a minifridge or wherever (thank me later)
The only correct answers

https://www.vlr.gg/378666/gen-g-vs-sentinels-valorant-champions-2024-decider-b
At least the calling on bind was decent right guys ('hey alfa go for 30')
This is a reminder that Fnatic has had a problem of playing too slow and executing in the last seconds of the round for 3 YEARS now
But when you play with teammates who just aim diff everyone to cover it up you become a great IGL
NBA analysts disrespecting Kobe vs the players themselves moment:

Its time to pose the question: Has Chronicle ever been the best player on any team he's been on? (for a reasonable, definite time period)
Gambit/M3C: Nats*
Fnatic 2023: Alfajer -> Leo
Fnatic 2024: Leo -> Derke
Fnatic 2025: Alfajer
*From what I can tell, his best argument would be from Gambit at Champs 2021 to M3C 2022 emea stage 1, but even this is not so certain. Nats had just come off of being the clear (and yes it was clear) Berlin MVP, and at champs their numbers were similar as well. Nats also went for +31 in the GF. Chronicle had the better overall stats for stage 1, but Nats had better playoff stats. Numbers aside, most people at the time would very likely have said that it was Nats team.
Nats wasn't even liquid's best player in 2023 (sayf) and hasn't been in 2025 (keiko) but yall not ready for that convo yet
Bumping this again because I told all yall motherfuckers
9/10 of the players on the 2023 PRX and EG rosters now have trophies
That PRX core now has a grand finals win over 3/5 of that Fnatic roster without Something playing at Pacific MVP level
#ReturntheTokyoTrophy
I guess the truth hurts more than that 2v4
It isn't a choke, PRX is just better
Multiple legends of the game disagree
https://www.vlr.gg/487902/there-are-none-so-blind-as-those-who-will-not-see/#1
FNS came out of retirement to retire again in that time 🥀
Condition 1: Real Event with Competitive Format? ✔️
Condition 2: Other top teams are allowed to compete at full strength? ✔️
There was never any doubt
PRX 3-1 FNC, 6/22/2025
A new agent with programmable lineups, you setup the lineup like normal, then are able to move around and let it rip at a later time
#Nostradamus
When you can throw the cove like an omen smoke you will
nvm, i've leaked too much
This musta been wintrading because aint no way
Assume each team is in their prime form
EG
Prime Fnatic needed a miracle to beat Loud the first time and was only decisively better than Tokyo EG on one map. Champs-form EG massacres them
How quickly they forget: https://www.vlr.gg/393738/fnatic-was-never-great
it is a shooting game after all
Neither Chronicle nor Leo received any votes for the GOAT: (https://youtu.be/n7NYMVaatxI?si=QPBnlbX-Frod5ubD&t=368)
Aspas was tied for first (Zekken, Nats, Derke)
Kangkang also got 3 (Biank, Smoggy, Meteor)
Yay and Derke both got 1 (Trent, Beyn)
----------------------------------------
The most revealing part is both Nats and Derke won an event with Chronicle and they both chose Aspas
Bro thinks America is unique regarding slavery, its been around pretty much everywhere for centuries, look at any place in the world and it probably had slavery at some point.
And even if you just focus in on the trans-atlantic slave trade, the vast majority was directed towards South America (mostly brazil) and the Caribbean, North America was actually were it was the least widespread.
