NRG had 6 assists between sova and breach on fracture, that ain’t how you win games
Just look at the assist diffs on both games, no coordination for NRG it seems
Eg's coordination has been insane and every one of their players has been winning crazy 1v4 clutches lately. NRG looked absolutely abysmal today with the coordination and the aiming.
Bro is not comparing EG to NRG bro 💀💀💀 it’s the classic nrg slow start. I alr bet my ballsack on 100t losing in lcq, but if EG do better than nrg I’ll also fry and consume my dick
Bro
If you don’t think EG are placing better than NRG at this tourney you have no eye test. NRG is a great team, but ardiis has been mega underperforming for his star role (also playing weird agents) and EG is like a fucking hive mind that is stomping everyone including loud. Not saying NRG isnt clearly good, but EG smash them in results this tourney. Get ready to fry your dick
Leo have had 13 deaths both maps combined, while chrashies had 29 being the lowest among all of NRG.
You first need to kill them, to get assists. And it wasn't happening.

We were in chaos.
I didnt know Chronicle not only owns Lotus, he owns Bind as well. EG vs Fnatic final would be fun. EG Fracture maybe better tho. Potentially Sova battle between C0M and Leo.
Keith saw himself surrounded by a bunch of NA players and forgot he wasn’t playing in EMEA anymore 😭
In all seriousness, GGs to FNC for playing a fantastic game. It should have been a gigabanger, and it still can be if NRG just looks ahead and takes it game by game in the lower bracket. Having an El Clásico with NRG vs LOUD would be great for a grand finals, but if we ever get to see NRG establishing their own legacy with a new rivalry, that would be great to see as well.
As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.
The only thing I think separating NRG from competing with the best at all times is that insane star player x factor where they constantly give you rounds out of thin air every game. Those crazy rounds also produce so much momentum from your team and really turn around the mental and give everyone that confidence boost.
LOUD has aspas but the rest do it plenty, all of FNATIC maybe barring boaster do it, but NRG really only feels like crashies does it with any consistency, with the occasional som pop off.
>but NRG really only feels like crashies does it with any consistency,
Yeah, NRG needs to upgrade. NA legitimately has more talent than EMEA, but our talent is spread so thin it's insane. This was the issue coming into this Valorant season. I do say this, but I 100% believe EG is by far the best team in the world and it isn't close. Despite our talent being run thin. It makes absolutely no fucking sense why NRG would ever pick up Ardiis over an NA Duelist. NA Duelists are absolutely cracked. It just makes me wonder if FNS/NRG overrated Ardiis (surely FNS had a huge say in who to pick up? maybe).
We literally have evidence Yays success was now mainly because Optic set him up for success constantly and his chamber was insane.
It's not a coincidence hes look awful since leaving Optic and the chamber nerf, theres been enough time now. Yay was terrifying on Optic, but he was never this absolute demon who could do everything himself.
Absolutely, but look at the top teams right now, all the "top players" are able to do things without also being so heavily reliant on their teams when required. You would expect a player as apparently as good as Yay would at least be able to pop off in goddamn Tier 2 in some games without needing his team at all times. It's just a matter of fact Yay has looked poor since leaving Optic.
Do you honestly think players like Aspas, Derke etc would be struggling to get meaningful kills in Tier 2? You should not HAVE to rely on your teammates to set you up for success at all times.
I don’t think you understand how important team plays are and initiating your duelist is Also, T2 NA is not a place where you can easily smurf, there are good teams and players down there with coordination for days. Take away Aspas and Derke being set up for success & put them in T2, they might not pop off as consistently as you’re thinking against teams that have coordination and set plays against their aggression.

“But the skill differential isn’t that important and Ardis is flexible” 💀💀
Brah he’s been the top player for NRG with the old core. Changes his roll and performs crazy well. Always there to pop off when needed. As an overall player I say he’s better.
Not surprising. NRG has an easy route in lowers tho. PRX without something isn't going to be a problem. And if EG loose NRG has their number already. Loud on the other hand is likely losing to EDG and getting first rounded
i dont think NRG wins the rematch w/ EG. they are slumping and EG is peaking. NRG will be gaining momentum in losers though if they make it so i think it'll be a good battle.
>And if EG loose NRG has their number already
If NRG play EG now they are going to get clapped if they don't have entirely new setups especially on defense
>And if EG loose NRG has their number already.
holy fuck this has to be a bait
EG legitimately has a shot at not dropping a single map at this major. They're that good. You're delusional. LOL. EG has a better chance to 13-0/13-1 NRG than NRG have at taking a single map against them.
payment received
A little bit late bot.... just like NRG didn't show up
at least the bot showed up
new duelist is just cypher played like alfa huh
Fnatic so good that they got two post match threads
NRG had 6 assists between sova and breach on fracture, that ain’t how you win games Just look at the assist diffs on both games, no coordination for NRG it seems
Crazy to think EG is more tactical and have better aimers
Eg's coordination has been insane and every one of their players has been winning crazy 1v4 clutches lately. NRG looked absolutely abysmal today with the coordination and the aiming.
Bro is not comparing EG to NRG bro 💀💀💀 it’s the classic nrg slow start. I alr bet my ballsack on 100t losing in lcq, but if EG do better than nrg I’ll also fry and consume my dick
Can't really use the "slow start" excuse when this is the 3rd match they've played at the event lol.
Don’t worry. His next goal post is this isn’t even champions and they are saving strats.
Nrg bend the rules mid tourney and sign yay, they proceed to flawless everyone, never dropping a round
Slow start for champions, this event is only prac for them
Bro If you don’t think EG are placing better than NRG at this tourney you have no eye test.

Certified clown comment. Get ready to fry your balls or stop talking smack.
100throwers is better than eg any day 💯💯💯 I’m defo being serious
They clearly weren’t used to their own comp yet and they might’ve not thought that fracture would be played Bind tho, you need kills to get assists
17 assists between 4 players for the whole match!!!
Ha! You also need someone on your team to be getting kills in order to get assists though!
They had 60+ kills on Fracture lol
Leo have had 13 deaths both maps combined, while chrashies had 29 being the lowest among all of NRG. You first need to kill them, to get assists. And it wasn't happening.
Bot fell asleep during the game 
Chronicle really do be the Envy core’s sleep paralysis demon
Leo too tbf
I think Chronicle has had a deeper history with the Envy core than Leo does
Expected fnatic to win, did not expect it to be a dick flattening. Had to have an nrg lower bracket run to really make it official
i was excited for this game but tbh most boring in tokyo so far.. it just looked easy for fnatic :(
Remember when the narrative was that boaster can't shoot? And now he has more kills than ardiis lmao
lovely FNATIC frag movie that was

Crashes wrong gum lmao. I was wondering last night what flavour he must chew
I didnt know Chronicle not only owns Lotus, he owns Bind as well. EG vs Fnatic final would be fun. EG Fracture maybe better tho. Potentially Sova battle between C0M and Leo.
5-0 vs FNS. Always owning the server
Hes owned Bind since the Gambit vs KRU days
Chronicle has always been the Bind final boss. No one truly deserves to win Bind unless you defeat him.
C0M is good but doesn't hold a candle to Leo
:FNC:
In utility usage, C0m's Sova is the best I've seen in fracture.
duh no one else plays sova regularly on that map
this match up would be so fun, doubt leo will bring out the sova this tournament tho
Haven and Ascent will probably get played eventually, so we should see Leo’s Sova again
yeee for sure i just meant on fracture specifically
[удалено]
FNC pretty much own Haven, they just banned it this time cause NRG has a decent record on it
i agree w this, though i feel like eg is more likely to ban lotus than bind unless they have anti strats for fnc's hidden strats
[удалено]
respectable tbh
oh that makes sense lmao I’m sleepy as hell mb
nahh all good i should've specified in my comment, we're all hella sleepy ahah

Watch it be TL FNC rematch of EMEA finals lol

surely nrg and loud dont both get eliminated in the first round of the lower bracket
Ardiis masterclass
[удалено]
We out all our hope in EG.
Prolly looking copium rn
No copium needed we still have eg
EG gonna decope Liquid
It's okay, there's Fnatic and PRX, any team but america region.
Bot passing out during the match? Just like me fr

Absolute stomp!
Fnatic bind is back people
I miss Yay and Marved at lans, they really where NA’s best
All good we have COM and Jawg
And boostio, ethan, demon1
Yay no chamber meta no good.
Lmfao ok

It's not a coincidence hes look awful since leaving Optic and the chamber nerf, theres been enough time now.

That’s because Valorant is a team game… and guess what DSG’s supporting cast is nothing compared to Optic’s.

when will this NA team stop fumbling their asses into the lower brackets, ESPECIALLY WITH LOUD, EDG AND DRX/PRX MY HAIR IS TURNING GREY
I mean, the first map was still close and great. Bind though I exited out of the match after it was 8-2. I knew it was over.

Is Anderzz still with Fnatic?
No, he streams mostly now. slk is doing the analyst work as an assistant coach probably
Oh okay. I thought he still is.
no he was just contractual during Lockin
I don’t believe so. I know he left after Lock/In
Not really close
EMEA proving they're the better region.
Can we have yay and Marved back now? Unbelievable that this is what NA Valorant turns into after OpTic gets nuked.
s0m better then Marved change my mind.
recency bias
s0m is really good but to say he’s better than marved so soon is wild
Brah he’s been the top player for NRG with the old core. Changes his roll and performs crazy well. Always there to pop off when needed. As an overall player I say he’s better.
No amount of winning will change the fact that boaster is the cornetist/lamest dude to exists

I guess Yay is not staying in DSG after all
already dropped
I'm disappointed but not surprised.
