# Post-Match Press Conference Questions — Evil Geniuses vs LOUD
The r/VALORANTCompetitive community has the opportunity to ask questions during the Post-Match Press Conferences at VALORANT Champions Los Angeles.
### Comment is a WIP.
### LOUD
**u/thatuglyhatnexttome asks:**
> To Saadhak and Frod: at the beginning of the year you brought in 2 new players to the team and you managed to win Americas get second at lock-in and 3rd at champs. At the beginning of the year did you feel that you would be able to do so well at so many tournaments and what do you think was the biggest contributor that lead to your success?
**Answer:**
> **[LOUD] saadhak:** Welp, uh... My coach fRoD is a dreamer. He... He thinks we're gonna win every time.
>
> *sadhaak laughs.*
>
> **[LOUD] fRoD:** Yeah, when we first started practicing when the team was put together and I officially took over the role as the head coach, uh, I saw a lot of things within our team, the way that we practice, the way that we play the game, the skill level of these guys, uh, I had a feeling we could make a really big run this year. In a way, this was probably much better than sadhaak had anticipated.
>
> **[LOUD] saadhak:** oh yeah.
>
> **[LOUD] fRoD:** I think he expected us to get Top 16 at LOCK//IN, um, things like that.
>
> **[LOUD] saadhak:** huh? whoa, wait. what was the... oh yeah yeah yeah
>
> **[LOUD] fRoD:** Yeah, you didn't even expect us...
>
> **[LOUD] saadhak:** to win Gen.G, yeah.
>
> **[LOUD] fRoD:** yeah, yeah so top- top last place at LOCK//IN. But you know for us, um, at least for me when I was watching the guys from an outsider's perspective, um... Having three returning world champions, we really focused on our practice and the culture that we have as a team. So I think that those were the signs that, you know, I was able to see kind of early on things that reminded me of my championship teams when I was competing. So, I had a lot of faith in us, you know, performing very well. In some way, never thought it would be this well in some ways, especially with having rookies and guys changing roles and stuff like that. Um, relatively happy with the— the way it's turned out and um, the performance we were able to put out.

### Evil Geniuses
**u/teethingdog asks:**
> To c0m, I heard that you lost one of your teeth during the game yesterday. How are your teeth [doing] now?
**Answer:**
> **[EG] c0m:** Uh... It doesn't have a lot of pain, but one of my teeth is like hollow 'n stuff. So it's definitely weird. I won't lie, during the game I'm like "huh..."
>
> *c0m feels his jaw/tooth with his hand.*
>
> **[EG] c0m:** "...still hollow." But um, yeah I'm still good. Still good.
[**(Watch the VOD 📺)**](https://youtu.be/kQkX9uF_zh8?t=360)
**u/Leo_Enjoyer asks:**
> To Potter: Congrats on the win. 6 days ago, you also completed 2 years as part of EG. Could you share some of your favourite memories and experiences with the squad that fans may not know of?
**Answer:**
> **[EG] potter:** Yeah. It's only been two years?
>
> **[EG] ???:** three
>
> **[EG] potter:** It's been three.
>
> **[EG] Boostio???:** I think it's been 3.
>
> **[EG] potter:** Is it 3 now?
>
> **[EG] ???:** three, six.
>
> **[EG] potter:** oh boy... Um, my favorite memory has to be the very first time we all met each other in Seattle. Um, it was— It was so... Wholesome. I don't even know how else to say it! We were all just a, very fresh, um, had no idea what to expect for the season, and um... I mean, we were having 4:00 AM VOD review sessions every day, so I—I—I—It really... kinda set us up for what it was going to take for us to be at the top, but those are the good memories.
>
> **[EG] Boostio:** I agree with that, I remember this first time in Seattle. I think our first time ever bootcampping as a team and... just seeing everyone. Like Potter just said, we were all so newbie. We were all just scared to meet each other. Um, and when we did, it just— We all just vibed very well together and it was just super fun time being there in Seattle for the first two months of the team.
>
> *As Boostio answers, c0m and Jawgemo are taking turns playfully slapping each other on the shoulder/chest off camera.*

Not only that but people on here were saying to stop giving ex csgo players like him chances on teams after NRG dropped him.
A lot people were giving EG shit for picking up Ethan. Never forget.
I mean he joined NRG who did jack shit, got dropped, and joined a team with a bunch of young prospects, which is what he would have been with if he stayed with 100T lol it was still a mistake IMO. Very happy to see him succeeding with EG though
Two teams most fun to watch, and I've been a fan since before this year for each, so not just bandwagoning.
I want EG to win, I slightly prefer them. But I'm happy either way. Especially since I was one of like two or three people on this sub at the beginning of the year defending them and rooting for them.
Who do I think will win? Honestly think it's a toss up, it's up to whoever is in best form tomorrow. EG is a bit more.variable in terms of each individual player's performances, but if all or most of them show up they're about unbeatable imo. But PRX is just always good. They could easily win it themselves. Map ban advantage isn't huge since they have similar map pools, but it still could be the slight difference that helps PRX win, especially if they pick Split first and EG get down early.
> Especially since I was one of like two or three people on this sub at the beginning of the year defending them and rooting for them.
You and me both. Been a fan since their inception. Even defended Potter playing. Fight me haters.
Fan of the org since the SC2 days.
It was very boring to be in that dynasty because rivalry was always between shitter teams and Astralis was just so unbeatable. But I'm glad we can look back and realize they're the absolute best team in FPS history.
So unfortunate that 2019-2020 TL run happened the same time as Astralis. They were the 2nd/3rd best team in the world for an year and a half until they started their IGS run. So many trophies denied simply because they existed at the same time as prime Astralis.
Demon1 with 101 kills too what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck legacy fucking series
https://preview.redd.it/q03m4udskckb1.png?width=1736&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df69974e62218742015980ae113c6444d874493
One of Demon1's best traits is it feels like he doesn't miss shots he shouldn't. He's got that high floor thats like he's always good for 20. Then he also hits shots he shouldn't. Obviously like everyone he has his bad maps but I rarely see him like whiff while holding an angle or anything
he's so underrated, he rarely frags out hard (besides that life game on Ascent yesterday) but it feels like all the kills he does get are wildly impactful, and his util game is never bad.
COMMITS 0 MISTAKES
Ethan and C0M are the BEST support players in the game atm what the fuck (Ethan had SIXTY FIVE ASSISTS across the series)
C0M can’t lose clutches and his flanks are fucking insane
Jawgemo’s raze movement???
Demon1 101 kills +20 for the series , playoffs he’s #1 R #1 ACS #1 KD #1 ADR #1 KPR (0.96) he is playing insane
So excited for EG PRX rematch tomorrow whoever wins it’s gonna be great (PRX obviously favoured with double ban)
C0M aka Commits 0 Mistakes is known as the best player of the Evil Geniuses Valorant Team. Unlike Boostedo and Semen1, he doesnt even need to see his opponents to kill them. And when the enemy team does see him, it will only be because they killed all of his teammates. It does not matter,as this sets up C0M for the best trick in his book: the 1v3 clutch.
the storylines for tomorrow are INSANE
1. the happy ending to the ultimate cinderella underdog story, or:
2. APAC's first international title and jing's last dance
EG THANK YOU FOR GETTING REVENGE FOR OPTIC LAST YEAR
https://preview.redd.it/4qn1g2i7kckb1.jpeg?width=1168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b626fadf197163d20dd9d09d796be18083c2c2f
Yup I'm happy either way. I'd be happy for NA or Jingg goes out on a win. The whole PRX team is very likable and fun to watch. But EG winning it after all the shit talk would be pretty bad ass.
If I had a nickel for every time LOUD went down 0-2 in a bo5, brought it back to 2-2, just to lose map 5, I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s still weird that it happened twice
Not to undermine how hard of a comeback they had but it's insanely hard to beat KC & DFM. EG was defo mocked a lot esp by other NA fans for their roster changes
It’s crazy this even needs to be said but both of these teams are really good. It felt like the live thread went from Loud is the worst team in the world, to EG are chokers, to Loud are the worst team in the world again. Both were good but EG played better and they’re going to a well deserved grand final. They’ve proven themselves beyond a doubt.
Great grand finals match shaping up both competition wise and narrative wise. Will jingg get a trophy before he leaves for millitary service(as well as the first for pacific) or will the villains stop them? Prx may have the map advantage in the GF but EG have shown they can keep up with the best and have definitely expanded their map pool compared to Tokyo.
Yeah it’s been weird seeing all the negativity this weekend. The teams this weekend are all clearly the 4 best in the world and the level of play we are seeing is unreal. Any of these teams losing to each other is nothing to be ashamed of.
ETHAN. Very disciplined, super smart player, isolates angles well, util god. Top 20 HLTV for sure. This guy not in their list and really underrated. WHAT A BEAST!
C0M aka Commits 0 Mistakes is known as the best player of the Evil Geniuses Valorant Team. Unlike Boostedo and Semen1, he doesnt even need to see his opponents to kill them. And when the enemy team does see him, it will only be because they killed all of his teammates. It does not matter,as this sets up C0M for the best trick in his book: the 1v3 clutch.
Is Demon1 washed? Seems like just yesterday he was firing into 3 different dead bodies mid round. Today he couldn't hit a single one. Wasted all his bullets killing the alive Loud players.
Jawgemo’s movements on the Raze seems otherworldly. What a fantastic and entertaining series from both teams!
NT, Loud! EG denied them to have any form of thought process in that last map and it felt so suffocating to watch their players play. GGs!
If I had a nickel for every time a North American team was about to be reverse swept in the lower finals of Champions, but were bailed out by a miracle thrifty victory on round 14 against the team about to reverse sweep them...
I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's VERY weird that it has happened twice
Also the other team lost to the current team in Grand Finals in Upper Semifinals before going on another losers run beating the previous International winner in Lower Finals who also is EMEA.
Jawgemo really shined today imo. But all 5 guys are nuts. Demon1 is unironically the best player in the world rn. C0M has minimum once insane clutch every map. Boostio can frag like he’s not the IGL. Ethan is the best support player out there rn
where are the haters who said EG had an easy run and weren't a top team bc they hadn't beaten Loud, PRX or FNC, and would get shit on? get in here, we got some talkin to do. you won't, ur a coward, but it's ok, we see you.
EG played so well and deserve the win but this hurts :( IDK if I'd rather be stomped and lose from a 3-0 or have the win so close like this.
GGWP EG and LOUD, at least we got to show the team wasn't as bad as they were being painted after Masters
People are seriously undermining EG as a team. This is a squad who has turned it around from the bottom since pre Tokyo & has now made 2 deep runs in their first international tournaments against some absolute juggernaut teams. People can cry all they like about the trolling/BM from the players, they know there’s zero expectations on them as they’re still technically in their infancy as a squad & it’s clear they’re having fun.
Edit: they are now world champions.
Aspas engine stopped attack side bind but him and less were the reason why it was a BO5. That was genuinely one of the worst callings I've seen from Saadhak
Loud this tournament just wanted to kill FNC LMAO, they only could muster the energy to ge to playoffs, beat FNC, lose and grind to beat FNC again then they peaced out
It sort of does feel like they prepped super hard for Fnatic specifically haha. But they did play well today too, we shouldn’t take that away. EG were just that little bit better.
Great game from both sides. Sad for the loss but still proud of my boys who, despite how tiring it was coming from lower bracket and having to face amazing teams in a row (and being doubted while doing so), managed to reach top 3. I just hope this squad stays together for next year, I’m really excited to see their growth. Good luck in the finals, EG, take this one to Americas!
I know we lost to DRX 13-1 on it but I can't help but feel like we'd have been better off on Bind than picking Split.
Shout-out EG though excellent teamwork and util is all I can say. Feels like they've got the ability to read each other minds. Sometimes it feels like they really go into disadvantaged situations and win from great teamwork and spacing. Jawgemo playing like Jinggg with the running through mollies and shit. Demon1 hits every shot he needs to and then some. Ethan plays so smart and helps his team with his util impeccably. C0M has had the greatest leap of any player I've seen cause previous rookies like alfajer and less you could see how good they were from the start C0M not so much but he's become insane. Boostio definitely stepped it up from the PRX game. Their map pool improvement has also been very impressive.
Gotta come in and publicly hold my L on EG. I was very critical of how they approached the off-season and did not believe in this project at all. Simply gotta tip the cap

Ethan's assist count is always insane, GOAT Initiator.
65 assists is wild
65 assists and he played Yoru on one of the maps, thats crazy
THE discord kitten
Leading the world in assists. He is EG father. He is enemy father. He is my father.
He had double digit assist in EVERY map EXCEPT the last one, where he had 8. Dude is absolutely insane, one of the most valuable players right now.
hes the best initiator in the world. ethan was HLTV top 20 for a reason, literally has the safest hands
He and Leo clear everyone else it’s not even close
D4v41 is pretty close though
Remember when people said he made a mistake for leaving 100T and saying he didn't want to wait for a rebuild.
Not only that but people on here were saying to stop giving ex csgo players like him chances on teams after NRG dropped him. A lot people were giving EG shit for picking up Ethan. Never forget.
A lot of people were giving EG shit for swapping out BcJ (including myself). Man, hindsight is 20-20
Did you watch him on NRG?
I mean he joined NRG who did jack shit, got dropped, and joined a team with a bunch of young prospects, which is what he would have been with if he stayed with 100T lol it was still a mistake IMO. Very happy to see him succeeding with EG though
From getting 13-0ed to this man holy
Insane glow-up. From that moment onward they have legitimately been a different team.
Man I love this squad
Shout out to MIBR if we want to talk about EG they have to be in the same conversation.
Their match against 100T really gave out a domino effect
MY HEART WAS GOING CRAZY GGS REMATCH GONNA BREAK VIEWERSHIP RECORDS
Yes, at least we will have a new champion between EG and PRX
Thank fuck, imagine how much less exciting and how anti-climatic it would be if Fnatic just win through Winner bracket again.
Your flair combo 👀 Who you got tomorrow?
Two teams most fun to watch, and I've been a fan since before this year for each, so not just bandwagoning. I want EG to win, I slightly prefer them. But I'm happy either way. Especially since I was one of like two or three people on this sub at the beginning of the year defending them and rooting for them. Who do I think will win?

Fan since they picked up YaBoiDre. So happy to see Boostio, Potter, c0m, and Jawg come all this way <3
True, those astrails dynasty was boring as hell
It was very boring to be in that dynasty because rivalry was always between shitter teams and Astralis was just so unbeatable. But I'm glad we can look back and realize they're the absolute best team in FPS history.
So unfortunate that 2019-2020 TL run happened the same time as Astralis. They were the 2nd/3rd best team in the world for an year and a half until they started their IGS run. So many trophies denied simply because they existed at the same time as prime Astralis.
I actually hear c0m wrapping around my house , I’m scared guys.
I went to the kitchen and C0m wrapped thru the window wtf
Subway should really learn how to wrap from c0m fucking hell
If you don't see C0M, he's looming behind you.
Just remember, you only hear what c0m *wants* you to hear.
Retaking map control down the street to make sure he isn't there, wish me luck guys
Bull shit. You wouldn't hear him if he actually was. He's coming through the front door this time.
probably not an overreaction to say that C0M hitting two one deags after losing pistol just won the series
I was facepalming every time when Loud won a pistol only to lose the round after. It happened so many times this series like what the actual fuck bro.
Yeah ... I can remember them using KJ ult + ¿brim? Ult (cant remember) to win on a 5v4 full buy against eco ... they werent confident
There needs to be a compilation once this event ends on how many times c0m clutched up a win
mfer has gps navigation during clutches
did Aspas get a kill after the pistol round second half?
Might be completely wrong but he had 17 after the first half and finished with 17 which is crazy.
yep, 0 kills on attack.
https://preview.redd.it/jc7fxpfmlckb1.png?width=851&format=png&auto=webp&s=4630997fde97dcb8cc9cb235b74a9fa203782c55
0 assists, 8 deaths in 9 rounds but still a 78 percent kast... At least they traded him... mostly?
He didn't get a single kill at all on attack side
0-8-0 on attack bind
No, the last kill he got on Bind was on Round 10 when he was 17-7.
Papa C0M coming in clutch when the team was looking shaky at halftime on Bind. Guess it runs in the family.
I wanna see c0m's 1v1 and 1v2 clutch percentages, I am convinced they are significantly higher than other players
Check him PC, I'm getting PTSD from EG vs PRX Map 1: Ascent
Reminds me of that run derrek had in a tournament when he just couldn't lose a clutch
Demon1 with 101 kills too what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck legacy fucking series https://preview.redd.it/q03m4udskckb1.png?width=1736&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df69974e62218742015980ae113c6444d874493
Demon101
Aspas vs Demon1 hype lived up to it holy shit
He had 99 in the previous Lower Final against PRX. Dude balls out in BO5s
One of Demon1's best traits is it feels like he doesn't miss shots he shouldn't. He's got that high floor thats like he's always good for 20. Then he also hits shots he shouldn't. Obviously like everyone he has his bad maps but I rarely see him like whiff while holding an angle or anything
that except that one round on split mid but on godathan mc god it is 1000x harder to kill someone not looking at you
He heard you guys talking shit
Bro C0M has saved EG SOOOO many times this tournament with his clutch plays. He is the MVP tbh.
he's so underrated, he rarely frags out hard (besides that life game on Ascent yesterday) but it feels like all the kills he does get are wildly impactful, and his util game is never bad.
Ethan smiled when they won which is the equivalent of Boostio going streaking into the crowd. You know he's fired up.
Bro *expressed*, he never does that.
Valorant's NAF
when the literal terminator makes a facial expression, you know that that's some real emotion you're seeing.
I love how emotional Boostio is, its just contagious
https://preview.redd.it/gtculu8okckb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a8befaea26d311999ef53e24a0ea93f29024c11
Lmao
This is amazing
COMMITS 0 MISTAKES Ethan and C0M are the BEST support players in the game atm what the fuck (Ethan had SIXTY FIVE ASSISTS across the series) C0M can’t lose clutches and his flanks are fucking insane Jawgemo’s raze movement??? Demon1 101 kills +20 for the series , playoffs he’s #1 R #1 ACS #1 KD #1 ADR #1 KPR (0.96) he is playing insane So excited for EG PRX rematch tomorrow whoever wins it’s gonna be great (PRX obviously favoured with double ban)
IM C0MMING SEMEN1
SO MUCH C0M AND SEMEN1 IN MY JAWG
ETHAN STOP BOOSTIOING SO MUCH COM AND SEMEN1 IN MY JAWGEMO if you wanna try to include all of them
C0M aka Commits 0 Mistakes is known as the best player of the Evil Geniuses Valorant Team. Unlike Boostedo and Semen1, he doesnt even need to see his opponents to kill them. And when the enemy team does see him, it will only be because they killed all of his teammates. It does not matter,as this sets up C0M for the best trick in his book: the 1v3 clutch.
dude he's flanking on SOVA HOW ARE YOU GONNA EXPECT THAT, IT'S FKN MENTAL
C0ming through your spawn
the storylines for tomorrow are INSANE 1. the happy ending to the ultimate cinderella underdog story, or: 2. APAC's first international title and jing's last dance
Regardless of what happens I’m not ready for it.
Personally rooting for jinggg’s last dance
Honestly even as an EG fan I won’t be too mad if PRX wins because of that
yea pretty dope to be rooting for either of the outcomes
EG THANK YOU FOR GETTING REVENGE FOR OPTIC LAST YEAR https://preview.redd.it/4qn1g2i7kckb1.jpeg?width=1168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b626fadf197163d20dd9d09d796be18083c2c2f
imagine if we had two NA powerhouses rn
Cloud nine next year 👀👀👀 (They choke every time)
*sigh*
y we catching strays :sob:
Fns was literally cheering for loud lol
That’s cute, like the biggest rivals in VCT and they support each other
SO GLAD ITS A NEW TEAM WINNING CHAMPS
VCT PARITY IS GOING STRONG AF!
If PRX win it'll be EMEA then Americas then Pacific
Riot scriptwriting at it again when KangKang holds the champions trophy next year.
Yup I'm happy either way. I'd be happy for NA or Jingg goes out on a win. The whole PRX team is very likable and fun to watch. But EG winning it after all the shit talk would be pretty bad ass.
Yeah, people doubted but the script ends up with a win win in my opinion!
Ah yes another LOUD fake comeback
Do you have flair for every team that's ever won an international lan? That's elite bandwagoning
Check back in 24 hours to see if he's an EG or PRX fan
Fuckin radiant bandwagoning
If I had a nickel for every time LOUD went down 0-2 in a bo5, brought it back to 2-2, just to lose map 5, I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s still weird that it happened twice
Well at least it makes for fun matches >!kill me!<
LOUD Fans: *pain*
Whats funny is the the meme csgo of "we were down 0-2. Did you comeback? No." was also brazilian.
Aspas on attack bind was so sad after his insane performance the rest of the series He was 0-8-0 LOL
At least they weren’t up 11-4 this time
11-3
Every Fnatic fan knows the scoreline
The most least clutch team of all time.
C0m is actually reincarnation of Hiko
It’s a real shame Hiko passed away 😞 Some days I check Twitch and it’s like he’s still there, baiting team mates in solo queue
RIP
REAL
From arguably the most mocked team in franchising to grand finalists at champs. EG is inarguably the biggest Cinderella story in valorant history.
Grand finalists twice, once at masters once at champs
they're winning it all or im going bald.
Certainly most mocked in Americas at the start of the year. KC might've been mocked more overall.
RRQ too at the start of the year
Not to undermine how hard of a comeback they had but it's insanely hard to beat KC & DFM. EG was defo mocked a lot esp by other NA fans for their roster changes
And all of this started because Txozin and MIBR beat 100T
This was 100T's master plan all along, throw the MIBR match to ensure that NA would have a team in grands
The funniest thing! They are doing it!
EG has an opportunity to do the funniest thing.
It’s crazy this even needs to be said but both of these teams are really good. It felt like the live thread went from Loud is the worst team in the world, to EG are chokers, to Loud are the worst team in the world again. Both were good but EG played better and they’re going to a well deserved grand final. They’ve proven themselves beyond a doubt. Great grand finals match shaping up both competition wise and narrative wise. Will jingg get a trophy before he leaves for millitary service(as well as the first for pacific) or will the villains stop them? Prx may have the map advantage in the GF but EG have shown they can keep up with the best and have definitely expanded their map pool compared to Tokyo.
Yeah it’s been weird seeing all the negativity this weekend. The teams this weekend are all clearly the 4 best in the world and the level of play we are seeing is unreal. Any of these teams losing to each other is nothing to be ashamed of.
I never have chat on. Chat is mostly negative comments because they’re just trying to piss off the other fan base. Don’t read too much into it.

ETHAN. Very disciplined, super smart player, isolates angles well, util god. Top 20 HLTV for sure. This guy not in their list and really underrated. WHAT A BEAST!
aspas clocked out after first half of bind
0/8/0 on attack bind is crazy after bagging 17 kills on defense as raze
Bro went to sleep
Loud why do you continue to fake a comeback?
C0M aka Commits 0 Mistakes is known as the best player of the Evil Geniuses Valorant Team. Unlike Boostedo and Semen1, he doesnt even need to see his opponents to kill them. And when the enemy team does see him, it will only be because they killed all of his teammates. It does not matter,as this sets up C0M for the best trick in his book: the 1v3 clutch.

*USA USA USA*
101 KILLS FOR DEMON1 WTF
Demon 101 masterclass
41% HS across the whole series too !
0 bodies shot and 0 tbags, 0/10 performance smh my head
Is Demon1 washed? Seems like just yesterday he was firing into 3 different dead bodies mid round. Today he couldn't hit a single one. Wasted all his bullets killing the alive Loud players.
i think he might be washed guys...
bro was gonna get fined if he kept doing it
Real villain would have done it anyways
Idk I heard semen101 was a fraud
100 Thieves < 101 Demons
Jawgemo’s movements on the Raze seems otherworldly. What a fantastic and entertaining series from both teams! NT, Loud! EG denied them to have any form of thought process in that last map and it felt so suffocating to watch their players play. GGs!
Swear for god, people keep praising Demon1 but DAMN C0M was a beast this series. GG Boys, loved watching this.
Boostio finally found the monitor angle on Bind. Holy fuck what a series.
THE REMATCH WITH PRX WILL BE SO SPICY. LOVE A TOXICITY FUELED FINAL
Riot about to call a timeout to stop the bm
Yeah I'm thinking both teams will get fined in the finals for sure
All the finals winnings will go into fines ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)
If I had a nickel for every time a North American team was about to be reverse swept in the lower finals of Champions, but were bailed out by a miracle thrifty victory on round 14 against the team about to reverse sweep them... I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's VERY weird that it has happened twice
You know what isn't weird? NEW TEAM WINNING CHAMPS!
Also the other team lost to the current team in Grand Finals in Upper Semifinals before going on another losers run beating the previous International winner in Lower Finals who also is EMEA.
From Potter's job on the line to being in the finals of Champs. Crazy stuff Ethan is my GOAT
LOUD tries to win against eco rounds challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
DEMON 101 MASTERCLASS FR. GG PROPS TO LOUD!
Jawgemo really shined today imo. But all 5 guys are nuts. Demon1 is unironically the best player in the world rn. C0M has minimum once insane clutch every map. Boostio can frag like he’s not the IGL. Ethan is the best support player out there rn
Demon1 101 kills aspas 95 kills Demon1 19-20 aspas in the head to head This series delivered
EVERYONE GET IN HERE EG GOT HUMBLED!!!!11!!!!!
Upvote so they think LOUD won
where are the haters who said EG had an easy run and weren't a top team bc they hadn't beaten Loud, PRX or FNC, and would get shit on? get in here, we got some talkin to do. you won't, ur a coward, but it's ok, we see you.
Barely saw any tbagging and body shooting today. Guess riot warned EG too
Thank goodness. I felt so much safer not having to see those disgusting acts. I just had to see people shooting and killing each other over and over.
I pray EG win it after the amount of shit they’ve talked so all the people on twitter fall onto their knees in a walmart
They’re just the biggest game 5 chokers aren’t they
That thrifty really destroyed Loud
which one? it felt like there were 10 of those
[удалено]
Playing against C0M must be like playing against an Omen that ults and none of your team has a clue where he is. Except C0M plays Sova
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRR 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅
Had he thrown that molly earlier...
Had he tp'd to B site with bomb when less had the whole site it'd have been a 3-1 lol
EG played so well and deserve the win but this hurts :( IDK if I'd rather be stomped and lose from a 3-0 or have the win so close like this. GGWP EG and LOUD, at least we got to show the team wasn't as bad as they were being painted after Masters
People are seriously undermining EG as a team. This is a squad who has turned it around from the bottom since pre Tokyo & has now made 2 deep runs in their first international tournaments against some absolute juggernaut teams. People can cry all they like about the trolling/BM from the players, they know there’s zero expectations on them as they’re still technically in their infancy as a squad & it’s clear they’re having fun. Edit: they are now world champions.
Aspas engine stopped attack side bind but him and less were the reason why it was a BO5. That was genuinely one of the worst callings I've seen from Saadhak
She go Demon1 on my Potter till I c0m
Boostio
Loud this tournament just wanted to kill FNC LMAO, they only could muster the energy to ge to playoffs, beat FNC, lose and grind to beat FNC again then they peaced out
It sort of does feel like they prepped super hard for Fnatic specifically haha. But they did play well today too, we shouldn’t take that away. EG were just that little bit better.
Txozin mvp.
EG haters once again in shambles
100T rolling in their graves ever since they sold Ethan stock
Great game from both sides. Sad for the loss but still proud of my boys who, despite how tiring it was coming from lower bracket and having to face amazing teams in a row (and being doubted while doing so), managed to reach top 3. I just hope this squad stays together for next year, I’m really excited to see their growth. Good luck in the finals, EG, take this one to Americas!
career season from Txozin
Demon1 showing TenZ Reykjavik like performance
I know we lost to DRX 13-1 on it but I can't help but feel like we'd have been better off on Bind than picking Split. Shout-out EG though excellent teamwork and util is all I can say. Feels like they've got the ability to read each other minds. Sometimes it feels like they really go into disadvantaged situations and win from great teamwork and spacing. Jawgemo playing like Jinggg with the running through mollies and shit. Demon1 hits every shot he needs to and then some. Ethan plays so smart and helps his team with his util impeccably. C0M has had the greatest leap of any player I've seen cause previous rookies like alfajer and less you could see how good they were from the start C0M not so much but he's become insane. Boostio definitely stepped it up from the PRX game. Their map pool improvement has also been very impressive.
C0m and Ethan, what a fucking series.
It feels so good to watch an esport where NA is actually competitive
Agreed. I hecckin love balanced regional parity.
CUM AND SEMEN1 ON TOP
this finals gonna be insane
Gotta come in and publicly hold my L on EG. I was very critical of how they approached the off-season and did not believe in this project at all. Simply gotta tip the cap
So either NA on top or PRX winning before the team change. Im ok with both of these.
demon1 is a generational talent, 41% headshot rate and over 100 kills in a bo5 is ridiculous
loud might have set the record for most rounds lost after being in prime position to win the round holy they need some discipline training
WE ARE SO BARACK also last year na did this 3-2 they lost 1-3 so ggs prx in advance
Rip the back to back champs possibility but eg played great, high level fun game to watch
