he has been doing good all season, but he just doesnt fill me with confidence. i dont know why, he has pretty solid numbers and just needs to do a lil better overall on neon, but still when i try compare fnatic firepower head to head with heretics, i dont get that confidence.

like even miniboo isnt that much more consistent, but he gives me more confidence. is it a time thing, we need to see a lot more of kajak before we make conclusions?

and probably fnatic will make all of it, if not most of it from derke's own buyout...

but probably gonna cost half of what derke's salary was.

i am a fnatic fan and a derke fan, would not have given up on derke for any reason, but to think of a possible reason why, my reasoning makes sense.

enough - ou = engh ~ ENGHH
ENGHH to Team Liquid Lets GOoooooooooooooooo

finally

my boy nats can play

as long as he is aspas or derke level it is fine. i dont want some inflexible duelist like cned or demon1

FNATIC 2021-2024.

This era of FNATIC will never be forgotten. FNATIC wouldnt be where they are without him. Mr. Champions, he will keep shining, just in a different jersey.

aint no way fnatic cant afford der..........

wait that makes sense, fnatic have always been on a very strict budget, they made it very clear that they cant even move an inch on this roster budget wise, that is why they could never hire anderzz full time, and no success (fnatic level success) this year means they'd rather just get a rookie duelist which there are hundereds of and just spend 5k on him rather than derke's 15k

alfa duelist is good but his op is very mid. boaster is honestly so much more reliable with the op

it was inevitable...

way better than faker. the moment i saw him at tokyo, i knew he was the best player in the world (better than aspas), all i needed to see and will still need to see is if he can keep this up. he needs to be consistent as hell and deliver every time. because his skills are already better than anyone right now.

best op undebatable
top 3 riflers

oh i dont need heretics for that

where did i mention fnatic

steven liggy just needs to slightly increase the stream volume, and it'll be perfect

Finally someone who doesnt win only pointless games. you made us all proud. couldnt have had a better representative from emea this year. You showed that this region is a goldmine of talent that had just gone a bit downhill. your emergence shows that our region has a lot more to prove and give to the valorant scene.

Be proud boys, you did what hardly anyone could've predicted before the season started.

so about that

ik i might seem like a very big hater, but honestly derrek.

like i dont know how he survived that long in tier 1. his one lcq performance carried him to places

now talking about current players, its emil (not a player, but a coach). a genuine fraud

probably

I dont care if that was his debut tournament or not,

didnt you read

that may be impressive, but not hype. hype is when the world was shocked at how a chinese team who everyone thought still needed tiime to compete with the best of the world was already dominating their games. an 18 year old young inexprienced duelist was going toe to toe with other best players in the world

not everything is about sen. and also no shot the most hype tournament is when we had 14 tech pauses every map

Masters tokyo was the best phase of valorant when ZmjjKK showed himself to the world. I dont care if that was his debut tournament or not, but that performance from him was beyond special. He took the valorant community by storm, the most hype phase of valorant.

was bound to happen

11-3, its not even up for debate

if sen dont make the finals with the bracket they've got, it will be the biggest choke in valorant history

might as well just give fnatic one permanent slot, and do a random number generator for the other 3 spots. total waste of space

emea...
have some shame for once. for one time.

https://www.vlr.gg/384302/emea-is-funny/

remove acend. the only reason they won was because it was gambit. if it were kru in place of gambit or any other non emea team, we would've seen a choke bigger than prx in champs finals last year

they looked good enough to not lose an opening group stage game against one of the "weaker" teams in the competition

Give vitality fnatic today and they'll beat them 2-1 13-10 9-13 13-7 no sweat, but the moment they face a half decent non - emea team they'll spread their legs like never seen before. pretty sure we'll see the same pattern with fut

delusion.... masterclass

ballon do'rodri

Were good for like 2 weeks this season but most of them will keep their jobs because of it.

i dont understand how any team can waste the best player in the world. for two years in a row.

it takes a special person to make a tier 2 team compete toe to toe with tier 1 teams. but it takes an even more special person to make a tier 1 team look like tier 2, that too for two years in a row.

nAts deserves better...

Optic core hype in 2024.....
Just let it go people, it's over

optic core traditionlists-delusioners

top 3 nrg moment, along with the loss against bilibili and ardiis's sage wall

they did bounce back after madrid. but if you bounce back means going from middle of emea to winning shanghai. then you were a fool all along the way. but then again you are prx fan, that should've been obvious

its literally just inconsistency. we look a 100x better than kickoff. we also arent aiming consistently. the best team in terms of firepower itw for 2023, is aiming worse than fut in 2024. we are almost there. if we were just little luckier we might've seen a completely different tournament.

to summarize. i have 100% faith in this team. much more faith than what i had after kick off and after our first loss in split 1. i dont want to argue about this, because its pretty obvious to me whats happening with this team.

i have full belief in elma and the other coaches. there mental has already gotten so much better than last year, so its only a matter of time before we become what we were destined to be, great.

i wont let people forget that people call optic the goat team when the only emea team they beat that year was fkn team liquid with scream.

erik gets benched before emil.... noticing

then explain this:

Achilios and paperthin casting is passable. It's not the best choice, but it's not the worst either, but the overall lack of quality and variety in casting talents is heavily missing

achilios
paperthin
doug
mika (havent heard her much)
babybay 💀💀

i am not even sure we have 3 proper duos 😭😭😭😭

I genuinely dont see a single casting "duo" on this list fit to cast a grand finals. I mean sure we miss out on brenshow and panpoc, but this is just horrendous. Most of these talents are decent, but none of them look like they are at the level to cast a finals. achilios is good, but then again we dont have that duo mannnnnnn!!!!

pansy solo casting would have brought more hype to a game than this.
Fuck it man, i would have preferred steel ranting for 24 rounds over whatever we might get.

better call saul
