Yes absolutely, as I said at the beginning of my comment replying to that guy " Different orgs approach things differently.".
Fnatic puts an emphasis on winning and this is why they will never sign a team that doesn't have the potential to be top 1. So current bonk ain't it, maybe they will take a couple players from them tho
are you trying to say that scream is "some shitty well known guy" or am i dreaming? omegalul
Well, they played 5 maps against G2 and never managed to put 10 rounds in any of those. So their level is not even close to G2. Now they've lost sayf who is atleast their 2nd best player so they are even weaker.
As for the rest, they had emil who literally just became Nip's coach (they didn't have one before), so they weren't mistreated in that regard. G2 don't even have a coach either btw.
They also never played FPX, and it's obvious that FPX > bonk.
So at best bonk is top 3 EU, now with recent changes they'll prob end up top 5-6 with zero prospect of ever besting the top teams (G2, FPX). Why would a top tier org like fnatic who puts an emphasis on winning sign them? Dunno you tell me
We are talking about fnatic, what does that have to do with liquid? Different orgs approach things differently.
Besides, Liquid got a team first and foremost because they secured ScreaM, not because of the fish guys (Liquid co-ceo said it in an interview). It's the same situation as 100T in NA. If the team keeps underperforming they will cut them and keep ScreaM.
ScreaM = 1M followers on twitch / 400K on twitter + Youtube + Instagram AND he's a top 3 rifler in the world => ppl who followed cs on the entire planet know who he is so he offers a lot of benefits just for branding.
Bonk = ...... nothing. They don't offer any benefit other than their performance in game which is good but not exceptional either + there are currently no stakes in the valorant scene.
LG threw on attack in ascent, too bad for them
Fnatic/Astralis will only sign the best of the best. If this team manages to beat G2 they will get signed, but if they keep getting rekt by them I don't see it happening. Let's see how they perform after they find their fifth
free for G2
LETS GO LIQUID
bonk doesn't exist anymore at this point
"according to reddit" is never a good way to start a sentence
Android is so bad from what i've seen on stream, yay though is alright
lol draken sucks at valorant, if you're gonna bench a player atleast replace them with quality
to have a global view? what's so hard to understand?
Only TenZ played reyna throughout the whole tournament.
Sentinels threw so many rounds on split, and C9 capitalized on it perfectly I have to say
not even close unfortunately
you love to see a good comeback
Maybe bonk can pull something off? Unlikely but a man can hope
wtf FPX....
Envy is a more consistent team anyways. Maybe on a good day IMT takes the bo3 but unlikely imo
he has internet issues apparently
Don't forget that Sentinels started on attack on split too, fckin ridiculous
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NiP threw so hard omegalul
Hmm so far my predictions are quite good, not bad.
I was only wrong about C9, dunno what happened to those guys but they're lit.
I think it's too soon to say, and you shouldn't overreact just because they lost a bo1. You have to remember that other than ScreaM, they have fairly young and inexperienced players that will progress a lot in the upcoming months.
At the very least, I don't remember the Liquid roster getting clapped in a bo3 or losing against an underdog in such a format. They just go unlucky today with Lateks dropping the best game of his life with a 30 bomb on the 2nd Bind. The dude went 1/14 right after on Bind against FPX, so yeah.
i actually think Liquid showed plenty of progress during last tournament, for example. I definitely believe they have the quality to compete at the highest level, but they're not consistent enough right now.
ez4dig
Well only Lateks remains from the original Fabriken roster that actually made them known, so that would have been impossible
Probably they're refusing the unknown orgs and are aiming high
The real grand final
Dig almost threw
Sayf popping off
First time ever NiP starts a game strong and this happens. Too bad there's no VOD
Lateks from hero to zero real fast
This is the first game they played, which Liquid won...
ec1s sleeping
thespike spends a lot of money on that from what I've seen, even going as far as sponsoring some tournaments and such, but it's clearly not as successful imo. There is so much more user interaction on here and this is the most important for this type of website
Not a bad score for Skade but it's mostly because they've won both gun rounds. Let's see how they do next!
Insane comeback from NiP!
Literally prefiring a common spot (top left of the stairs). There's nothing weird about it.
Dignitas and Envy have a lot of potential.
Dignitas because the quality is already there, if the 5th already has good synergy with the team they can go far.
Envy because they have looked stronger and stronger every tournament, with a very balanced team performance.
GenG imo has already peaked, they will never be top #1 NA unless a fluke happens.
Cloud9 is a barely above average team who only has solocarry TenZ to compensate for it, but it will never be enough to rely on 1 player.
Sentinels > TSM, if not this tournament it will show in the upcoming months.
Don't @ me :>
Team Liquid doesn't run Jett OP for example.
As a team you need to play around each player's strenghts, not try to follow some "meta" that won't hold true in a couple months anyways. Imo this will be a loss for T1 and I find it funny that noone talks about how abysmal Azk has been, or crashies/food during important games.
Scapegoat for T1's poor performance. He'll be better off somewhere else. Anyone who believes that random puggers like crashies & food are more valuable than him in the long run are out of their mind.
