I will give them that, they have unreal vibes and chemistry but the way they approach the game is so weird, there is a reason asian teams have won every single team recently, they are doing something right and european teams should look to adapt and learn from them not try to make a style like that work, the reasoning for european teams playing this way is because of CS inheritance but I have watched the austin major and I swear to God no top10 teams in CS play like this on a macro or micro level, even the most structured ones like NaVi dont play like this

is it even rage bait? they play the worst valorant, those T sides were awful and its pretty sad to see them have such stars and have 0 wow factor, never cross a smoke, never be confident and take duels, spread defaults that last 1,30 minutes every round but without taking any space and forcing any util/rotation, only to them just pick a random site with 25 seconds left or die one by one against players that are smart enough to hold off angles against you and wait for you contact into site 1v1 while u have full util left and all your sentinel util up, its as easy as bringing out an OP too lmfao, GenG countered it to perfection, OP on t3xture and not wasting any util because u know they spread and only go site late, its too readable and on top of that u have no surprise factor because u are obsessed with control like you are Guardiola and u genocide players who try to take a timing or surprise by confidently crossing a smoke or anything like that

GOAT IGL shouts after he won EMEA lmfao, awful IGL really, this Fnatic probably plays the worst Valorant in the event, these players deserve to be freed up from Boaster catenaccio valorant

Simond4rk aint bad, Tag has hand cancer, awful awful player

they will say something like "mental health" because in this and age certain pros cant be critized and some people were being a bit mean, classic excuse like KOI CEO asking fans to not talk trash to the sporting director who had been ruining their club and putting their players at risk because he is young and he cares as a father for the "mental health" of young people although that guy was being cynical and aware of the damage he was doing, just use mental health as an excuse to not held accountable for your actions

FUT are a dead team, its the end of a cycle for that team. They arent better than Vitality when on form, Heretics, BBL, Liquid, KC or Fnatic, I also have my doubts if they played against new Giantx, M8 on a good day or NaVi. Idc what xeus has done, his individual performances so far and eye test prove he is one of the best, I have played ranked against most of these pros, I can asure you that this xeus guy is second to none

that is not gonna work out, minny is an awful IGL and he is still a baby, then you have kada who has hand cancer and kamyk who is a double digit IQ individual, goked as per usual sabotaged this M8 project signing an IGL that he would turn his back to after just one tournament in order to put his 18yo sentinel as the IGL, also retarded moves to keep kadavra coming into this season and signing a bum like kamyk

he literally just deletes people off the map in a way I have never seen before, he will make any of the top5 teams in EMEA an international contender and will get his flowers then

xeus the most deadly imo, I would shit my pants if I had to hold an angle or peek him, specially holding an angle against him, he has a very interesting way of doing a small crouch to peek an angle and one tapping instead of bursting, there are many good players but this guy is just on another level for me

kick those two and get loita + lar0k, if you dont do that then I am 100% sure xeus will ask to get sold to a real top team

are you okay? they were only good when most of emea was in the gutter, they played good valorant compared to the other teams and thats why they won regionally not because they were shooting heads, what elo are you to even claim such a crazy thing like FUT being the best team in the world in firepower? Qraxs is awful individually, Ata Kaptan and MrFalin too. Do you think prime Fnatic who were winning because they were just better individually and not anything tactically werent better? Thats what the best team itw in terms of firepower looks like, dont you think any team with good firepower could get away with such comps if your competition was KOI with koldamenta, GIants with rhyme, NaVi with cned, screams KC, Mixwell Heretics etc? Its just basic eye test lmfao, if you are half decent at the game and have some understanding of its mechanics u can tell they arent good shooters

they arent even good individually, McMuffin, Ata Kaptan and Qraxs stink

"Fut arguably have the best firepower in the world since 2024" bait or mental retardation?

thats a great trio but also the least 3 important roles, duelist and igl are the most important roles and you have two bums in those

its normal to have a bad game once in a while even for someone like him, he plays 1v9 normally too

xeus

no bro, I dont notice any of this and if you do at 24 you should go see a doctor, thats the prime age for your body, even at in your 30s your reflexes should be fine, the thing is that you probably dont play as much as you used to so you will notice that

Obvious reason is personality, Jamppi is a natural leader and if I was a top player I would do everything to be on a team with an IGL like him, an IGL like Jamppi together with PAL who is also great is a perfect recipe for success, IGLs like that are worth their weight in gold both in CS and VAL.
Another one is the way they see the game, Jamppi is a very agressive player who likes to go in first and sacrifice himself even on initiator (not in a dumb way like Ange1 tho) and the way he calls is more explosive, fast, a lot of playing together as a 5 man deathball or 4-0-1 compared to Sayf, I think Sayf has a good tactical mind as we all saw the excellent macro and calling in KickOff but he is too readable, when you play a slow spread default every single round then everyone knows what to expect from you and you will get punished internationally, he also seems to be a player who focuses a lot on giving up space and playing retake or playing together at the expense of map control/info, I think this swedish style of calling doesnt work that great nowadays in both CS and VAL, specially in an arena enviorement where the games can become very emotional/momentum based and the sound is dogshit so you need to be adaptable and thrive in the chaos, sadly I always enjoy watching Sayf streams and I can say he is a bit susceptible and almost petty at times so I dont think he is the type of person to be humble enough to realize whats bad in how he approaches the game and genuily change his passive ways. He strikes me as the type of guy that will die with his fetishist way of playing valorant, u can even tell from how he peeks/holds angles that he isnt comfortable with being agressive/chaotic. If I could tell him one thing it would be to become a more pragmatic caller and stop trying to play perfect fantasy valorant and trying to make all of us fall asleep by entering site with 10 seconds left for 12 straight rounds. Not even the best IGLs in CS play like that in a game that rewards being passive way more than valorant ffs

facts

that post was right after a vct post match interview in which he was speaking perfect english for context

beyn is full bot

EMEA looking like the best region but some people aint ready for that conversation

should go to KC next season but they are such a confusing team, idk if they need to kick saadhak or the coaching staff, that team looks confused af to the point they arent winning games even while all their players except elite have been on life form this season

xeus needs to be in this list, maybe kamo and keznit too

keiko is not that good as the main duelist

you are just biased towards americas and you dont even realize it, its always like this, even teams like mibr who have only 2 top tier players and looking shit vs g2 and sentinels who lost to a worse Liquid with KAMYK are contenders but EMEA we are all shite, it has been like this since we stopped winning, are you gonna pretend the region is shit forever until reality hits you and we start winning again?

what is the point of these low quality baits

Serial wasnt looking too sharp mechanically first few games but I was so impressed in the last game, I think he just needed a small period of adaptation to his new roles, playing on lan, etc... it probably helps that they got good pcs now too, its not easy to go from your pc at home to the shitty pcs they had in emea, they most important thing for Liquid is to get Patitek back in Shanghai form and Serial to frag like he did vs KC, they would have no "superstar" besides nats but they would have 4 very good fraggers and a very good support player like Pati, kinda like NaVi in cs last year imo, the main thing for them will be to have a good map pool, ideas and be all on form fragging consistently

what happened

lmfao

aspas, he is one of the best ever but overrated, I dont think he is the goat or that he has a big edge over the other best players and lets be honest he is slowly falling behind since jett/raze arent as meta now

I said because of visas in such a short time

getting a turkish kid to play in the US, very smart yeah

u know valorant bro!

not rn but the potential is there, NaVi are straight up dogshit

a bot like Ruxic dropping that 30 bomb against Vitality is not life gaming? its not hard to outcall vitality rn but lets be serious, if vitality get their shit together they will 2-0 NaVi easily, NaVi just dont have the potential to beat good teams when they are playing at their peak

they dont, that roster will get nuked after this split once they get destroyed in playoffs

yeah and I think it was a combination of life gaming from NaVi and Vitality just looking awful, I dont think NaVi will do well in playoffs and if they faced Giantx tomorrow I am 70% sure that they would lose

NaVi too high imo, they didnt even look that great while winning, I dont think they beat GX with ara and flickless

disgrace that u have a spanish coach like yaba who is without a doubt one of the best in t2 and not promoting him man, yaba and thinki would cook

all you need to know is that FNS is the best player itw, dont let people fool you

do u watch what players do in actual games or just sofascore XI

Raphinha doesnt even play as a winger

just be a sociopath, hope this helped

thank God we have eyes unlike u

Boo is 10 times the igl that artzin is and wo0t vs xenom is not close at all lmfao, wo0t is like a million times better

valorant fans try to not overreact after 3 games and completely change best itw lists every month IMPOSSIBLE, the truth is that the best players itw dont change every month, derke/kk didnt fall off they are still better than some of the dogs in this list, their team or them just had a bad couple of games

underrated individual player imo, I know he had shit stats but his individual skill/initiator skils looked pretty decent unlike his calling

depens on how u look at it and the type of team that u are, while what u said is true u also have less time between end of vct emea and toronto so u wont be too cold first games and u could translate good form better to toronto, less games means more prep but more games or games closer together means more practical experience which is more valuable than any theorical prep and its the only way to see how ur ideas work

FaZe in majors and Elige cosplaying as captain america gonna take them down, they were saving their form for the major cope
