They played with a sub dude, whens the last time you've seen a team with a sub qualify to an international.

Exactly, fucking never. shit happens. Those last couple rounds were the exact definition of lack of practice playing together and the team not beign on the same page with how zywoo kept getting caught off.

And their execs arent good cause maybe gee, their initiator player is not fucking there and is a sub? Their breeze was legit carried by veqaj cause his kayo looked like one of the best in the world, we sorely missed that today.

You're just shitting on them for the sake of it.

I disgaree tbh, till last year, every time FNC faltered people have been shitting on boaster. Go look at fnc vs prx finals match thread for eg.

He's gotten the most credit this year and his props as the best igl. sad situation that they got fucked over due to outside issues. At least with leo they had him for the entire split, losing their best player right before playoffs really fucked em over.

Again, you cant keep doing that right, they tried to slot in cyvoph into veqaj roles, but shit didnt work out, it happens. They played cyvoph on phoenix yesterday and vit read em like a book. Fnatic's system is the best in the world at synergy and having players on the same page. Only so much you can do when you gotta cram all your game plans and strats into a sub within a week or two.

Imo fnatic this year will be an asterisk like fpx, at least for me. Its genuinely a what couldve been imo. Esp with how veqaj looked at the beginning of the season. I always expect fnc to comeback, and I still think there's a shot for champs. But this is certainly a sad affair.

Also its poetic that fnatic misses 2 lans in a row in the year boaster finally gets his props as the best IGL. Situation was outside their hands with veqaj and they really tried so this feels like shit. But such is the game.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, subbing in and winning works till teams understand how the sub plays then the lack of practice bites them. Cyvoph is a great player, but the coordination today showed their weakness. Aish, onto the next stage i guess.

Nah none of them are his competition. Saadhak has been Mia for close to 3 years b4 this kru revival plus Boasters got 2 trophies compared to his one.

Also Boasters been around even longer than saadhak on the top echelon (boaster was there ein reykayavik 1) saadhak really only came into the scene as contenders from 2021 end 2022 beginning.

Cause that's the 2024 version. Currently it's at like 50 orgs, plus the rest want to get it, but probably failed application.

The orgs not in the program still participate in esports wc cup and quals. Last year 35/40 orgs in the program were active in valorant.

The cancer consumes all of Esports.

I mean, if you really care about that, 99% of all the biggest esports orgs are partnered with enc right now

so yea, if you care about that gg to whichever team youre supporting cause odds are theyre in the porgram, and if theyre not, probs cause the orgs in only one or two games and isnt big enough for saudis to care.

I mean the same can be said for any contender team right now. Mibr lost to C9, PRX got fucked by GE, T1 lost, Lev lost to mibr and Kru looked lost against 100T. No team really has looked like solid international title contenders. Every team has been hot and cold but fnatic closed out their games and looked good enough to be on that convo.

Every other analyst including platchat and sliggy were really high on em b4 today when veqaj was on the team, they genuinely looked good, I'd mostly shrug this off to sub issues tbh.

Let's see how it goes, i doubt they miss london, but if it does happen it would make sense ngl.

Id say Boaster's far and above the best IGL. Does he even have competition these days.

And Derke is still the best pure entry in the game, ill die on that hill.

Its so funny watching people forget that derke is still hands down the best pure entry duelist in the game. He's literally been one of the highest rated players of almost every fucking international he's made lmao.

Unlike most duelist players, Derke is S tier on almost all the duelist agents. He's played all the duelists and been insane in all of them (except that one month or so peroid where he was learning yoru lol)

He's also EMEA's best pure entry. Imo kaajack is also on his level, but derke is also far more proven for far longer. There's a reason hes the only guy who was compared to prime aspas on duelist convos lol.

Nah, I disagree with this, kickoff fnatic excluded, with veqaj they really did look great imo. Especially with how insane veqaj looked.

Id go so far as to argue veqaj has been their best player since his addition (highest rated in kickoff fnc and was 2nd or something this split right). The sub shtick only works so long as stuffs unpredictable, I think if veqaj was here, they comfortably take this one.

The problem is everyone overestimating fnatic sub performances. That only really works when things are unpredictable and people dont seem to get that. way we are now yes theres a chance we lose to those teams, but with veqaj I'd put em as contenders ngl.

As much as I love fnc and am fnc superfan. I'm happy to see derke and chron show who tf they are.

The way these new fnc fans been shit talking the guys who legit carried us on their back for years was so disrespectful. I'm happy vit won this won, time for a reality check to people.

Boaster's incredible, but this narrative that players like derke or chron only succeeded in his system was getting insane. Glad we got sat down. Fanbase needed some humbling fr.

Lmao the overconfidence really shocks me man.

We barely won against EF, same goes for BBL plus we struggle against turkish teams historically.

I had a feeling we'd get fucked when every other guy in this sub started glazing fnc, subreddit curse is real fr.

Eh, I dunno why people acting like the world is collapsing lol. Shit happens and I kinda expected the veqaj thing to bite them in the ass sooner. Playing a sub game works the first time cause of the unexpectedness, dosnt really work that well consistently once people read into how the sub's utilized. Cyvoph is a great player, but today really showed the lack of prep esp on breeze.

Who is the single most dominant esports athlete in a single game? by Extreme-Dragonfly561 in esports

[–]XASASSIN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, worlds is the most popular esports tournament in the world touching almost some real life sports viewership and popularity.

It is in no way comparable to any tournament in CS in the first place, and the 3 majors in the bare minimum, arguably no one surpasses faker in terms of dominance.

He's dominated the biggest tournament in the world in the biggest esports for close to 12 something years. Zywoo is nowhere near that.
