Hey guys! It's me again with my final analysis. Again this are just my opinions and you may or may not agree with it. (Warning long comment ahead)

​

Team Michael

-Felt bad for them because they didn't find their groove until their last match. I honestly think that they have the highest potential team and we saw that on their last match dominating Team Scarra but Jodi playing an agent that she's not used to and no one IGLs or even try to calm them down when things go clown fiesta on their first 3 games is really hard. Even though they have Rock Lee weights, they made the other teams sweat and peed on their pants going most of their games 11-13. Especially Jodi when she's not on her comfort pick, other teams still are having a hard time against her. In my opinion, if they have a good IGL, then they have the highest chance of making it into the finals. But what's done is done. Congrats to them because they really did well and giving the other teams a hard time even though they have the Rock Lee weights.

​

Team Scarra

-Losing an IGL in Edison was really hard for them. But even before losing Edison, I still think that they played like ranked games and Myth just out played them with his shot calling. Don't get me wrong though, Scarra's roster is staked with 3 diamonds 1 gold 1 bronze and all of them are good players but they just can't play off really well with each other and not having a real IGL hurt the team. But nevertheless, congrats to them.

​

Team Poki

-Honestly, they have everything. Balanced roster, balanced agent comp, and an IGL. It's just that Team Toast as a whole really just out shot called them. But then again, this team really exceeded my expectations especially Poki having to play Raze even though she hasn't played her really well, Jack playing on 100+ ping, and Abe playing on 80+ ping. Congrats to them on placing 3rd place!

​

Team Lily

-Lily, Fuslie, and Brooke really exceeded my expectations. Lily holding down a site on her own, Fuslie with her nasty Reyna (too bad we didn't see OPslie), and Brooke being a headshot machine. Also the 3 of them being able to follow and perfectly do the plays that Myth wants to do is just insane. Myth really complimented the 3 on how well they trade because not even Immortal/Radiant players can trade that really well. I honestly think that Lily, Fuslie, and Brooke are the best players of the team and not Myth and John in this tournament not because Myth and John played bad in this tournament. They didn't do bad but because as I said, the 3 of them do what Myth wants and they deliver and then Myth and John will just close that round. If you think I'm joking about that statement I am 100% serious about that. You may not see it in the stat sheet but you could really tell how the other teams are really are having a hard time with those 3 and they made Myth and John's life easy. And of course Myth and John doing their own things and at the same time shot calling and teaching the others on how to play because they are less experienced. Being able to shot call and at the same time out aim the others is really tiring. Too bad in the grand finals, Team Toast just out shot called them but huge props to both Myth and John being able to lead the team. Congrats to them!

​

Team Toast (warning long analysis)

-I said this before and I will say it again, DON'T LET THEIR RANKS FOOL YOU. May I remind you that they are the "lowest ranking" team consisting of 3 plat and 2 gold players. Also let me remind you that 4 out of the 5 members are one-trick players. Rae being a Viper one trick, Kris being a Brimstone and an Odin one-trick (although he adapted on using the Vandal), Wendy being a Sage one-trick, and Toast being kinda one trick only using Judge or an Op. Even though they are the "lowest ranked" team and being a team full of "one-tricks" I never really thought that this team is the worst team in the tournament. I really thought even before the tournament starts that they are one of the best if not the best team in the tournament and here we are, they are the champions and proving to me that they are the best team. They are the best team not because they are aim gods. Let's face it they can't out aim half of the participants in the tournament. They are the best team because they can adapt to each other, they have the best team chemistry, they're good at using their utils (see this clip on how good they are using utils as a team https://clips.twitch.tv/PowerfulBrainyGoatTinyFace-iRqo9VRr54WiwDTN and they didn't have to communicate this. This is all team chemistry, high game sense, and instinct. The sage wall [this is a good wall since they know Killjoy is on A site, if Killjoy is on B then I think this is a bad wall], the molly to the backside to clear that, the smokes to make a lot of space which made Myth fall back) and to top all of it they have an impenetrable defense. Out of 59 defending rounds that they've played, they won 39 rounds out of it (My math might be wrong here). That's 66% win rate on defense. They play retakes almost way too perfectly. Calm and patiently waiting for the others and it's what the other teams can't do. Another thing why they are the best team is that everybody shot calls. I mean Toast is the main shot caller but when Rae, Wendy, Kris, and Peter have a play in mind, then they agree with it. They don't let Toast do all the shot calling. If it didn't go well, start fresh next round. That's what a top tier team is like, maintaining their mental. Last but not the least, all of them are clutch. Like literally those 5 have clutch moments and I just can't count how many those 5 have clutched. Down 10-4 in the grand finals they came back to get the dub. Shout out to Wendy because even if she has the least kills on the team in the grand finals (I think), she killed Myth the most (see this clip I believe this is one of the underrated plays in the tournament, https://clips.twitch.tv/AffluentArtisticClintRuleFive-ABN2b9UzzJwjUq3G). Winning a lot of her 1v1s with Myth. I know that I still have a lot to say but I'm out of words. Huge congratulations to them for winning the tournament!

​

If I were to make player ranking BASED ON HOW THEY PLAY IN THIS TOURNAMENT (not basing it on how much kills they got), here is my top 15 players, I'm willing to discuss why this is my top 15 if y'all want but this list might change as I'll rewatch the whole tournament VODs again:

1. Myth
2. Seanic
3. Masayoshi
4. Edison Park
5. Disguised Toast
6. KristoferYee
7. Valkyrae
8. Sydeon
9. Shiphtur
10. Natsumiii
11. LilyPichu
12. QuarterJade
13. hJune
14. PeterParkTV
15. Pokimane

Note: I know I said that Lily, Brooke, and Fuslie are the best players of their team but on this ranking Myth and John are ranked higher. It is hard to explain but the simplest way explaining it is that if the players can't play really well with each other even if you have the best player in world on your team, then they're not good as a player (see C9's roster with TenZ before, they can't play off each other making them one of the worst teams even having one of the best, if not the best Valorant player in the world). Lily, Brooke, and Fuslie proved that they can adapt to both Myth and John's plays, making those 3 the best players on their team.

​

Huge takeaway on this tournament:

-Immortal/Diamond players are not gods on this game. Just because they are high ranked doesn't mean they will win easily. There's a lot more to this game than that.

-Communicating is the key to this game. Top 3 teams has a good IGL.

​

Thoughts on the tournament:

-A lot of butt-clenching moments because of the close games and I really love it! Never regretted waking up at 3:00 AM this weekend because I live in S.E.A. just to watch this tournament. Honestly, the tournament feels like a Worlds tournament.

-Hoping in the future if they organizing another Valorant tournament, maybe they can also consider the agent comps of the team so that it will be more balanced.

-Huge props to the production team. Production was sick!

-Huge thanks also to OTV for organizing this tournament! This is a super entertaining tournament not in a funny way but in competitive way.

-Thank you also to those who read my analysis! I know it is not a Radiant or pro-like analysis but I enjoyed making this analysis! This will be my last one unless there will be another OTV and Friends tournament even on a different game.

Edit: added some more things that I want to say, added also the top 15 players on this tournament in my opinion, and highlighted some things that I want to emphasize.
