W take, congratz

i feel sad for OpTic, the most consistent team of 2022, getting podium on every international LAN of the year and still out of franchising, now they're gonna split as a team :(
the same to FPX

loud i think lmao

lmao

saadhak is even better than sacy, they know so much about this game

pretty sure Odin is still available on Optic's shop kekw cry more

imo:
LOUD ban Pearl and Bind
LOUD pick Icebox and Ascent
Optic pick Fracture and Haven
Breeze remains

two of these three: Pearl, Bind and Fracture. Pearl can be a surprise for grand finals, who knows. Bind is the strongest map from Optic, so i think is 100% sure LOUD will ban it. Fracture is a good map for Optic but LOUD knows how to play too, they just messed up last time.

sem querer desmerecer porque a OPTIC é muito boa, mas pra mim isso tem grande chance de ser um 3-0 seco pra gente, ou um 3-1. comparado a Reykjavik, o map pool da LOUD ta umas 10 vezes mais forte, além de que eles vão poder tirar a Pearl e mais um mapa (Fracture ou Bind). A LOUD é a melhor do mundo na Ascent e na Breeze, e Icebox tem sido um permaban da OPTIC. vai dar bom

Champions MVP:
OPTIC winning: yay
LOUD winning: Less or pANcada, this last series will define that

i think Less will be the grand final mvp

LOUD is 18-1 on Ascent, 9-1 on Breeze and 9-1 on Bind since january-22, guess who beat them once

imo, bo5 in lower bracket is actually a punishment for losing 1 time, since the upper final winner has between 3 and 5 games advantage to watch and analysis the opponent and 1 day-off to prepare

sacy and saadhak played a fracture in ranked today with Fade and Breach, so their comp will be, if someone pick Fracture:
Fade
Breach
Brimstone
Chamber
Neon

i dont think LOUD will waste the oportunity to pick Ascent, or Breeze as well if they ban Ascent. Icebox is a good pick but not as the first i think, they did it against Leviathan because LEV's Ascent is so good too.

Greninja
Infernape
Zoroark
Sceptile
Magmortar

LOUD 2-0
FPX 2-1

how can FPX has more chance than both Upper Final teams, the two teams in the upper bracket can lose 1 time yet and has a better momentum in the competition so far

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/LOUD%20aspas%238845/overview
you can find Sacy's tracker in some Aspas' matches

acho que a LOUD opta muito por Raze por causa do kit dela, dá pra pegar info com o carrinho e atrasar entrada no bomb com a granada (do ponto de vista da defesa), mas se vc ver o jeito que a OPTIC entra nos bombs, o Victor só abre o corredor da Neon e sai correndo, não tem muito o que fazer pra parar só com a Raze, a Neon sozinha se infiltra no bomb

ele não jogou tão bem de neon na única vez que jogou com ela competitivamente (Split vs Gamelanders), mas acho que pode ser muito bom nesse mapa, já que o time da Optic faz muita batida, e talvez essa estratégia seja o ponto-chave do mapa da Fracture, pra rushar nesse mapa tem que ter Neon

o bom é que a LOUD dificilmente perde de 2-0, se banir Ascent tem Breeze pra pickar e vice-versa. Muito provavelmente vai ter Fracture de pick da Optic e eles tem vantagem nesse mapa, espero que o decider seja um mapa bom pra LOUD, dessa vez eles tem muita chance de sair com a vitória, map pool com exceção da Pearl tá ótimo, vamos torcer!!

brazilian friends, i've seen on tracker that aspas is playing neon on fracture in rankeds with Sacy, maybe a change for fracture to play against optic?
before that saadhak was playing viper on fracture and Sacy playing Fade as well, and they actually brought it on composition, what you guys think?

i think loud is on their best form so far, so they have more chance to win this time, i still believe

huge times for brazilian esports scenario

they should fix the turret putting a delay between the change of position to the enemy and turn to original side, like 1 second animation

we don't, its a virtual laugh

i think the best team of 2022 will be who win the Champions 2022. the most consistent team of 2022 is OpTic, no doubt.

upper final is bo3

swap Ascent and Breeze and I almost predicted right

well, if they dont ban breeze its good for us i think

DRX ban Breeze
LOUD ban Pearl
DRX pick Haven
LOUD pick Ascent
DRX ban Bind
LOUD ban Fracture
Decider Icebox

yes, besides that DRX's Haven is dangerous too. LOUDs bans must be 2 of these three: pearl, fracture and haven. DRX picks one of these.

W

i think not

icebox: -chamber +jett
haven: -chamber +killjoy
pearl: ? (no meta yet)
fracture: -chamber +sage?
ascent: chamber is not meta, but -chamber +killjoy
bind: -chamber +viper
breeze: -chamber +cypher

FPX 2-1 LEV

this must be the greatest matchup we will have so far in this tournament, i really hope this match to be a banger
i said that FPX will win, but now i think 2-1 either team

well, LOUD never played against PRX, also PRX lost to Liquid and LOUD won against Liquid, i dont know whats your point

OPTC 2-0 TL

W

thanks for the info

melser is a good controller but i think he could fit in honor mention, because he played well in copenhagen but the others i mention had more success in 2022 until now

suygetsu is sentinel right? but as viper he could fit in best aimer controllers

actually i knew that i was forgetting someone, thx
he's so good too, but i dont know how to describe him in this list

imo:

OPTC Marved best controller of 2022
DRX Mako best controller performance so far in champions 2022
ZETA SugarZ3R0 best astra in the world
OPTC Marved / LOUD pANcada best aimer controllers
BOOM Tehbotol - honor mention

idk but yay is the face of chamber, man is like the own agent atm

1. Haven B by far
2. Icebox B
3. Pearl B

i was joking, but if someone picks Ascent, it will be a great game

lmao imagine lost only to optic (and dont lost against any team of own region) throughout the whole year, and still people call you overrated. the fall of arrogance will be huge.

LEV will ban Ascent lmao

FNC 2-0 XSET
speedrun

OPTC 2-1 PRX
