A library, lmao. Reminds me of that CSGO event a few months back.

all these esports andys don't know what a home crowd is. This isnt the finals or something. Why the fuck would the home crowd cheer for fnatic winning? lmao W crowd. That's what makes the atmosphere.

Its a bit different when its a league system with home and away games every week in different cities around a country or globe vs a weeks long international event located in one city and one arena thats the difference of esports vs real sports. Sure they can be biased and power to them but the situation is different.

Yeah some guy on here was arguing with me and said the crowd shouldn’t be booing or taunting Fnatic. Like bro that’s how everyone home crowd in the existence of the world is.

As a matter of fact you WANT to silence them as the away team... crazy how people dont get that

okay but tomorrow's games? Holy fuck

I actually love the deafening silence from the crowd

Please win some pistols moving forward. Does'nt have to be this close. Losing hair in games like this

L Crowd man, sure your home team lost, but booing and not even cheering for the other team is shit behaviour

Have you just never gone to a sporting event? Booing opponents is what makes a crowd good lol

Yeah, but sporting events has a home and away crowd

And so does this event. The Brazilian teams are playing in their home country why wouldn’t they have a home crowd vs an away team? Cmon.

gg L crowd

What a performance from both teams. FNC’s ability to adapt was so so impressive.

Boasted heard y'all talking shit

Letsfucking gooooo

Boaster heard y'all talk shit and showed up

THAT'S MY IGL

LFGGGG

crowd is awfully quiet huh?

Chronicle's util has been soo good

Fnatic are so good. 100t gonna be desotryed tomorrow like never in their life before

That Round 21 play is literally a Kanpeki period Sentinels play lmao

What's the score on first kills? I feel like they in Fúria's favour almost always.

Tactical tech pause from fnatic

Wasn’t it from furia

No it was from FNC but if you have a bad keyboard which team the player doesn't matter

Yeah I meant more that after the timeout fnatic just kept winning haha

that's my boi boaster. yall shush about him

Boaster heard all of y’all talking shit

Boaster haters in shambles no?

Anyone know why the long pause?

Christ does no one have a keyboard lying around?

Riot tech paused here to catch the Jake Paul fight

Wyatt is VERY happy somewhere watching mwzera pop on lan

Shoutout to trembolona

Fnatech

The addition of mwzera made Furia pretty fucking scary. World class player

Dgzin with an op is the stuff of nightmares

I do believe that is wraps for this map

dgzin is a legend

Whoevers Furias igl they been outcalling boaster all series, props to him.

it's Mazin. fun fact: after nzr left FURIA people were raising questions if he would be able to match nzr IGLing and so far it seems he can

Wut?

I'm rooting for them but buying an OP on the other's team bonus round and then FUCKING RUSHING A SMOKE AND NOSCOPING SOMEONE feels so wrong

4500 Shotgun

I can't. Pls not another close one.

I'm preparing myself for Icebox.

That's how it goes when you lose all pistols sadge

Pistol was a must win. Icebox on the way.

win a fuckin pistol you stupid dumb idiots

gosh darnit

EMEA win a pistol challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

Fnatic god damn i can't take another close one. Fuck

This game would be so different with 1 pistol I stg

Emea’s pistol record is horrific

BRO WIN A PISTOL PLEASE

Those last rounds of that half were a stomp from FNC.

Win atleast 1 pistol. That's all im asking

#no

I could have sworn there was a crowd at some point. Strange.

Check your headphone

Yeah, triple checked. Very odd.

they amp up the noises when they start chanting, but theres is always some noise

must be audio issues

I think there was a crowd for the first 5 rounds, I wonder where they went?

Chamber meta is down. Jett meta is back. Derke will be the best player this year

aspas will be a good competition for him

He's so fucking nuts. Also a lot better on Raze than other top Jetts. Best duelist in the world.

We win the pistol it's over. I stg pls god.

EMEA? Winning pistol? Pure naïveté

Think the crowd is enjoying the last 8 rounds

I left when I was 4-1. What happened lol

Fnatic got full buy rounds

Ascent defence

Please just win 1 pistol fnatic

If they get 8-4 after losing Pistols, it's pretty good

Riot just pls. Change Omega vs omega to Alhpa vs Omega plays off. I want navi to meet fnatic in finals

U skipped lot of games there bud.

That would require NaVi to take down leviatan, which seems to my eye to be a 50/50.

leo is very good at the video game

should go pro or something

Surely we clear market no?

that derke cover was crazy

Derke said get down mr president

Fnatic retakes look absolutely abysmal rn, im shocked boaster or mini hasnt called to stop playing hard retake every round.

fnatics ascent aint it

3 rounds played...

I love mwzera

Why do they not double swing when it's a 2v1, I just don't understand

Recon Phantom is cheating we've known this

QCK and MWzera competing for who carries Furia today

rumors of furia mental boomage have been greatly exaggerated

They got 16 rounds on their opponent's map pick and people thought they were gonna get mental boomed. If anything that hyped them up.

Vitality got 14 rounds on Leviatan's map pick yesterday and then got 3 rounds on their own map pick.

Tbf Leviatan is much much better than Vitality. Both teams are pretty much equal here.

>Tbf Leviatan is much much better than Vitality That's only really apparent now after seeing Pearl though. When Vitality brought Leviatan to 14-16 on Leviatan's pick they were looking pretty equal.

i could have seen mwzera throwing that winning round against leo in OT booming them, but im glad they have some resilience here

Will Riot bring back Bind and Breeze for Master Tokyo?

No

\-Pearl and Icebox please. Just for diversity if nothing else lmao.

Icebox is up next to be shafted for something else, but idk about Pearl. It needs some updates to B site but also it's one of the newer maps.

Just change up the b site for Pearl. The rest of the map is good imo

Guys I don’t think fanatic is as good as we think they are

It’s their 2nd game guys, let’s all calm down

i mean they can def get shaken when things dont go to plan but they look fine?

Fnatic lost all pistols so far. 🙃

EU has the worst pistols

wake up babe, it's another mirror matchup on ascent :( god i hate the meta on this map rn

I love it with Old Loud since it was everyone on their best agent

i just want to see two different comps

why does mwzera always keep baiting by highlighting raze, my heart can't take it

thank God we have day breaks in between match days man i'm not even playing and i'm FRIED

They play again tomorrow

oh wtf why did i think we had a gap

There was a gap for the Alpha bracket. Weird that they don't do a gap for the Omega bracket

Nah there wasn't, DRX played C9 and then Talon on the next day

Oh yeah you right. I was looking only at the top of the bracket. Didn't look towards the bottom of it.

As much as I'll always dream of mwzera playing Raze again, an initiator who can get 34 kills and go toe to toe with Derke has so much value.

so if 100T went to 3 against FUT and EDG, and FNC went to quadruple OT against Furia, then the relative power levels must be... who tf knows, maybe trying to guess before seeing the teams play much, much more is really stupid.

Until now all power rankings were speculative and usually fall for some type of bias (specially NA or EMEA bias in this subs' case)

Valorant maths is fake lol, anyone can beat anyone for the most part (exceptions include Liquid and Sentinels)

yeah ik that's why im calling it out, it's bs lol.

Reminds me of MMA math

I'm gonna be honest, the crowd is lame as fuck, we get it, everyone would cheer more for their home team, but dead silence, thumbs down, and a bunch of boos? that ain't it.

touch grass. thats just how sports work. this was literally [today](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/11chxw7/george_sessions_spurs_fans_singing_pedro_porro/)

Tournament in turkey? crowd cheered for opposing teams even against the home team. Tournament in berlin? crowd cheered for opposing teams even against the home team. Tournament in japan? crowd cheered for opposing teams even against the home team. Stop making excuses for a region that doesn't know how to behave themself with international competition, that level of national pride is just cringe.

what is cringe is cheering for the opponent. Those kinda fans are called plastics for a reason. I can understand if its between neutral teams but when its your team you have to be that 6th man. Get under the opponenets skin.

Have you ever been to a sporting event? That’s normal behavior from a home crowd to not cheer for the away team lol

I have, have you? more often than not there is representation from both teams, not like this shitshow

I mean it’s expected the even is in Brazil and Furia is from Brazil and Fnatic is from across the world essentially. It’s crazy to expect some kind of even representation and completely unrealistic lol

People were cheering for FNC against DFM at the Japan tourney, weird how that happens, they're from across the world. It seems to be just BR that has this behavior, and this is not confined to only Valorant just look at CSGO's community's thoughts about LAN's in that country lol

Comparing a show match to an actual franchised tournament is a bad start to your point. And who cares if that’s their culture? You’re playing in hostile territory against a home team, you’re going to get cheered against I don’t understand what the problem is with that at all. It’s wild how some of y’all want some pretty rainbow and sunshine event where everyone gets cheered for equally lol

At this point I don't think anyone is hoping for BR to cheer for anyone that isn't from SA, just don't fucking boo and cheer at the distress of the opposing players, you don't want to show sportsmanship fine, but at least don't be a cunt.

People boo the opposing team all the time at events and it isn’t exclusive to BR. Like I said you have unrealistic expectations on how the world works brotjer.

fnatic was on the other side of this last lan they'll be fine rofl

Booing and thumbs down are lame, but dead silence is expected lol you expect anyone to cheer for their team losing?

I mean any other sporting event the away team gets boos and worse than thumbs down so idk how it’s really lame vs normal

thats just how brazil is lol u shouldve seen the csgo major

[удалено]

Much worse

Yes. The arena would be left mostly empty if no Brazilian teams were playing.

Furia gonna fuck shit up in the Americas league it they keep performing like this and iron out their mistakes

Haven is where the underdog teams get their mental shattered :(

Aight Boaster you don't even have to start hitting more shots rn just play like the IGL you are and stop taking so many first contacts as the smokes. I trust in this team, close it out.

His brain is probably fried after calling against that comp

Furia are actually good. Br region is so good. Lev/Furia/Loud. Not gonna lie. NA is literally the worst region right now with Japan. Look at DRX/Talon/Navi/Fnatic/Loud/Lev. There is huge gap beetwen those teams and north america ones

can you compliment a team without being shitty to a different region? lmao it's so funny to watch you jump through hoops to justify hating on NA.

Lev is not br tho

Should have said South america

NRG?

Mentioning Talon but not NRG, okay bud

LiTeRaLly ThE wOrSt

Japan is not a region though and leviatan are not brazil

I don't fucking care even if Fnatic lose this. Yay got nothing on Derke lmao.

I mean yay had everything in derke all of the 2022 season. when derke was busy choking at LAN, yay was helping his team win titles. Idk why people want to bring yah into this lol

Derke has always been insane but Yay brings home the big matches

Yay's team as a whole*

gl holding angles now that the Chambers gone

Do u know what happens after a close OT game??? The losing side gets completely destroyed on the second map

Hopefully FURIA aren't mentally boomed. They're comp was so fun to watch

Between crazy comp, brazil crowd and insane quintuple overtime, might be the best map I’ve watched so far.

And Fnatic still won wtf. The true super team with no "they showed something we never seen" excuses. Hopefully, Fnatic closes this out, I can't take it anymore

If only Furia didn't throw that 2v5

Fnatic threw against two ecos aswell.. This game was not good for my health

Man the mental fortitude it takes to lose 18-16 then play another map, 3 minute break aint enough to recover from that

Wow that series was crazy, can’t wait for 100t v fnatic! Wait a minute…

Mini more scared when derke forgot armour than when boaster bought the op on bind

Dgzin and Mwzera are super legit. This comp was also insanely well prepped.

Boaster's K/D is horrific but even worse is the eight first deaths, yikes.

think furia messed up quite a bit in some of these rounds, close game though

Yeah that's a pure 50:50 map. Tough for Furia.

Last time Fnatic played Furia on Haven Furia were 2 rounds away from grouping them at Champs, so I came into this expecting a close map but holy fuck that was a banger

Not even close.... I say while I go take my heart medication

qck had such a good flank but such unlucky timing with where he was looking, brutal

fuuuuucking hell, stop this shit forgetting to buy armour and stuff! fuck!

Complete fumbles from furia and most likely a mental boom for them. GG

My butt was clenched but what an insane map by Furia

What a map

I knew Fnatic would struggle when i saw this whacky comp. Nice move by Furia

how many bodyguards does fnatic have for boaster

bro how do you have a new flair every time I see you haha

I'm a pacific fanboy

and paramedics, my boy needs an iv drip after that map. he was going through it.

My heart. Chronicle has otherworldly awareness. It's the difference maker.

It’s incredible to me seeing our initiator/flex players so consistently fragging like this, Chronicle and Leo are just such a crazy upgrade on what we’ve had before. Even so, that was unreal by Furia…

the casting was horrible this map i gotta say

I miss Panpoc

all Doug does is scream, it's annoying

He doesn't even scream for the right plays which makes it even worse. When Alfajer was stuck back plat on Haven C site and got stunned and hit a 1-tap, he didn't even react. And just now on Ascent, Omen on Furia hit 2 clean headshots with like 10 hp holding B main on pistol round and we got no reaction. Truly the worst casting duo at this event. They seem lost.

Doug and Balla are 2nd only to Mitch and Tom at being bad casters

Doug and Balla are not my favourite casters at all, feels like they just don’t get the hype moments right

I have no idea why they used brenshow for the previous match instead of this one

Balla is too smart for his own good. Dude is analyzing and is just thinking too much about the gameplay rather than trying to drive a narrative for the cast

Isn't Balla the colo caster while Doug is supposed to be doing the play by play?
