not confirmed by anyone, and is completely unrelated the getting 2nd place. they are top 2 in the world rn but the reason they may not make franchising is because the org is not as rich as others. i genuinely don’t see how this is so funny but alr.

c9 & tsm almost 100%

T1 APAC no?

marved canadian

the thing is his stats weren't even bad, just on kayo he couldn't do as well. marved and vic both gotta work a bit more on that but overall victor looks good on duelist. he just isn't getting an absurd amount of frags.

OpTic has got 3 strong maps (Pearl, Fracture, Bind). Icebox wasn't played much and they nearly beat LOUD on ascent which is very impressive. their breeze got better against DRX and there was some improvement against LOUD to, they just threw away the lead. Haven looked good before the LOUD match, now i'm not so sure. I think they could easily solidify Breeze and Icebox, just need to work more on Haven and Ascent.

yeah that's what i meant since vic and austin are a package

true, but then you would have to count the amount from first champs too which might change some stuff up

agree with all + PRX not making it out of groups

B & D Tier Grand Final lmfao they had to have been trolling no? OpTic and LOUD S/A Tier for sure

tbh, i think his only problem is overheating or pushing angles (on DEF) that he probably shouldn't. those are easy fixes though so i don't see it being a huge issue.

honestly i thought victor did a really great job on duelist (phoenix, jett) this event and he only got a little off on kayo. he had great performance and impact and im positive he has great chemistry with the team. im almost certain that theres no way OpTic would drop victor in the first place and not without dropping crashies too anyways.

i don't understand the point of these posts. comparing just championships doesn't define an entire region.

OPTC, then LOUD, then FPX, maybe SEN

crashies and victor are a pretty insane duo

victor showed up this event, especially on duelist role. theres no way they drop only victor (if they even drop anyone) because 1. vic and crashies are a package 2. xset is not giving up their star player, otherwise they are out (cryo and bcj cannot carry) 3. this is a team game and is built off of team chemistry, adding a good flex won't make a team significantly better.

edit: LOUD is not a super team, they just work hard and put in the effort and time to get this good. it's not a magical thing.

the entire team looks so happy, very proud of them.

:D
EXCITED FOR BRAZIL NEXT YEAR !!

welcome to the place where 95% of opinions are not valid :) !

without him, OpTic would for sure not have gone as far. coaches can't talk to players during the game without timeouts so FNS is the brain behind every play and strat. he definitely has large impact, although it may not show in stats.

no, same results, OpTic 100% win on pearl

everyone thinks you gotta frag to be good, its frustrating since his brain is what really helps the team. the fact that him (and a lot of other IGLs) have so many doubters yet can still make consistent top 3 finishes is very impressive. he did improve a lot though this tournament aim and frag wise when compared to others so i dont see why so much hate.

they beat LOUD 3-0 M2, your logic is?

the disrespect here is horrendous

great analysis

mind says LOUD 3-1

heart is hoping for OPTC 3-2 🫡

nobody cares if you dont wanna watch the final tbh. just dont watch it, the teams there deserved their spot and are there for a reason, as they are pretty much the top 2 teams throughout the entire season. they will make the series a good one so don’t be salty that your favorite isn’t there. maybe if they were better they would be in the GF, but they aren’t so.. nothing to be complaining about really.

all teams at champions earned their well deserved spot, congrats to all no matter who wins!

upper final winner gets such a huge advantage its crazy

OPTC + NV winnings are already higher than SEN, and that’s before champs ‘22.

he’s the brain behind all of the wins brotha, the game isnt about getting frags.

DRX and OPTC fans unite ❤️

mind says LOUD 3-1

heart says OPTIC 3-2

upper finals winner, additional day to prepare, beat OPTC on their safety map (BIND), very strong ascent, momentum & hype..etc

yes

mind says DRX 3-1

heart says OPTC 3-2

all these fellas pretty handsome lets be real here

he’s the same age as yay

LOUD 2-1
FPX 2-1

FPX 2-1

watch valorant japan

FPX 2-1

indeed

agreed, best of luck to both teams, could go either way.

DRX win and break 5th-6th place curse (2-1)
XSET win but not an upset since they have before and they look like they are on fire right now (2-0)

my heart is hoping for a DRX vs OpTic upper final though so we'll see :(

literally lmao, man is on top of the world rn

wait this is a thing?? pretty cool ngl.

2-1 could go either way

yay and friends

FNC didn’t play at their best imo
TL simply got diffed by yay, esp on ascent
