All these people saying ge, ts, geng or rrq will win pacific lcq don’t know the truth that dfm will win lcq with zeta having a outside chance
The same about emea navi, giants and bbl aren’t winning it will be between kc, koi and team heretics to qualify from emea
And for the Americas cloud9, furia, sentinels, 100thieves and leviatan all these team have 1 thing in common they are not going to champs whoever wins out of mibr and kru are going to champs

Yeah I mean didn’t boaster literally do that back at lock-in on haven a few times

.

They wouldn’t even make it far enough to face fnatic even if they win lcq

And the funny thing is he mentions the emea teams records but fails to mention how fut did better against eg than loud and navi did better against edg than loud and they are the 3rd and 4th best teams in the emea region
Liquid almost 2-0ed nrg as nrg only won because liquid choked on haven so nrg and liquid the 2nd best teams of the emea and Americas regions are equal
So I don’t understand Americas thought process sure they have the better record but
Fnatic>eg
Liquid=nrg
Navi and fut> loud in masters tokyo if you ignore the record win records and look at performance alone emea actually looked better than Americas as a whole

.

What do you think vlr will act like if somehow karmine corp qualify for champs in the 5th spot and somehow make it to top 4 and the final is between fnatic and mibr with dfm coming in 3rd would that break vlr

.

.

.

Then who’s gonna win lcq it is literally impossible for them to lose the only teams in emea lcq are well emea teams

What would be the most unlikely teams qualifying from lcq taht if they happened all at the same time would possibly cause vlr simply to have the biggest headache

.

It will be much harder this time though as some teams that are basically already tier 1 level teams are in ascension such as apeks and acend

.

I mean fantuc have only not made top 8 on 2 occasions once when they didn’t qualify Berlin 2021 and the 2nd time was Reykjavik 2022 and zeta did knock them out before they reached top 8 and zeta are the only team to do that so I agree japan clears

.

In the current meta they wouldn’t even get 13 rounds across 2 maps without chamber yay is just a great duelist that’s it not the best ir even in the conversation alongside derke and aspas and the 3 optic core members got defeated by prx without something and just torn apart by fnatic on the map they are supposed to be the best in the world on
The only person in the current meta that can keep up with fnatic is marved
Crashies once again struggled against Leo just like when he faced him last year when Leo was on guild
Victor struggled against chronicle again just like Berlin and was putting up much lower numbers despite him playing duelist both maps
Fns is on par with boaster in terms of igling but his fragging power is less and even more inconsisten than boaster
Like I said yay without chamber can’t keep up with derke consistently maybe every once in awhile but not all the time
And marved is only equal to alfajer at most and he is the best player in the current meta from that optic team

Clearly he was a na spy planted in guild by optic so they didn’t have to face guild again so they had a chance to win champions genuinely I feel like guild was just a bad matchup for optic.
as guilds players all made random ridiculous plays that simply put couldn’t be anti strated because half the stuff they came up with on the spot.
It’s why nrg struggled so much against fnatic as sure they have set plays but all their players can also make random insane plays which makes nrg’s anti strating almost pointless.
They also struggled against gambit again another team with players that just make random insane plays

Major means an international trophy
An international trophy means a trophy won in a tournament that involves multiple different regions
Multiple different regions means not just na that’s what sentinels won only masters Reykjavik is a major not a regional trophy
Meaning sentinels have only won 1 major not 2
I know this may be hard to understand for you but there has only been 8 majors so far in valorant history
Loud
Optic
Fpx
Sentinels
Gambit
Acend
They have all won 1 while the other 2 have been won by fnatic
Sentinels have not won 2 just accept that fnatic were the 1st to do it

Cauazin was also the 3rd lowest rated in the whole tournament too and I think tuyz wasn’t that far ahead of cauazin either.
I think it was the inexperience that caused this don’t forget in São Paulo they had the crowd on their side and I think that helped the 2 calm down and not get too nervous but in tokyo where the crowd is cheering for everyone and they are no longer in the country where they have lived their whole lives the nerves just caused them to mentally collapse I think

You keep saying they came in as 3rd seed but why does that matter fnatic came in as 2nd seed, loud who came in as 1st seed genuinely looked worse than navi, drx, ase, t1 and fut they looked like the worst team at the tournament
Nrg barely beat liquid and were lucky to not get 2-0ed as liquid choked haven so they are about the same level
Eg definitely did choke it doesn’t matter what seed they came in or what peoples expectations were at the start as people were expecting eg to take at least a map in the grand final and they should of taken a map but they choked on bind they had a 10-4 lead and were on 12 for multiple rounds and they still got taken to ot where they lost
The fact is eg choked they should’ve been able to win bind they even had a comp prepared to try and anti strat fnatic on bind keeping bind hidden for soo long

No the only players who I think might of been able to compete with fnatic is sinatraa and tenz if he actually focused fully on esports and not on streaming since streaming was what led him to fall behind all the other top class duelists since he wasn’t practising as hard and didn’t try to adapt and learn how to play other agents such as raze or even neon which would make sure even if jett was nerfed again he would still be able to compete at the top level as the only things he could play was jett and a broken chamber

Well your opponents are never gonna expect you to have more than 2 ops. How do you possibly predict 3 ops on the last round with the score at 12-11 and you only need to win 1 round to win the map how are you possibly supposed to predict fnatic running a 3 op strategy it’s the perfect 1 trick round as your opponents will never expect it plus in the future all your opponents will always be worried that you might use that strategy again so it creates an advantage for future games as well

In the 1st tournament they dropped 2 maps
In the 2nd tournament they dropped 1 map
That is frightening consistency

Let’s put it this way the lowest the best eu team has finished in any tournament is 4th and that’s happened 2 times the second lowest the best finishing eu team has come is 2nd and that’s happened 1 time and the other 5 tournaments eu came 1st and in coppenhagen a eu team also happened to finish 4th while at the 1st champs 2 eu teams were in the final the top eu team on average has finished higher than the top na team on average

So you will flame Japanese people for having a fnatic flair despite it being pretty well known and even a dfm member outright saying that most if not all Japanese valorant fans are fnatic fans or just other countries. because if you say that then I can’t take what you are saying even a single bit serious and even with that the argument is stupid

It doesn’t matter who gets the extra slot a team that can’t even win lcq of their region when the top 3 teams aren’t in it aren’t going to go far in champions anyway unless they pull off a Cinderella run which is unlikely with teams like fnatic, prx and eg maybe even navi,drx,loud and nrg if they figure out their issues even edg are getting better also if liquid decide they want to be consistent as well the it doesn’t matter who gets the extra slot the chances of the 5th best team in a region doing well is very little

Tbf how do we know derke isn’t the best jett in the world he didn’t play it once this tournament and still dominated the final on raze if his raze is this good at the moment how good is his jett

Loud need to replace tuyz yes he’s a great harbor but when harbor goes out the meta like it is starting to do what then he’s too inconsistent on the other controller agents he needs more experience basically on other agents other than harbor.
Navi need to stop letting angel go crazy with comps and stop letting him switch everyone’s roles around.
Drx need to figure out whether they are gonna fully go all in on foxy9 or have zest come in full time again and wait a year or 2 to bring foxy9 in when’s he’s older and more experienced.
Prx obviously will get something back.
Eg need to replace com in my opinion as he’s their weak link plus their players need to get more experience and they don’t have to replace com it might just be a problem with experience and as he goes to more international tournaments he will get better so they just need to go to more international tournaments to get more experienced so eg just have to wait patiently and make sure they qualify for as many international tournaments as possible.
Liquid need to just be more prepared mentally they’ve got the players to at least compete it’s just they need to mentally prepare for the pressure of playing on stage more and get more consistent.

That’s what needs to happen for them to stand a chance against fnatic. Will they be able to beat them probably not but it will give them a much better chance then they have now

The frightening thing is we may not have seen prime fnatic yet don’t forget their literal best map is out of the map pool imagine if pearl was switched with icebox it would be terrifying to a level we have never seen as never has 1 team been the best in the world at 3 different maps at the same time
