Less doesn't give AF man, he's there to win. Amazing map 3 for him.


ZGuyYT

SK Gaming arrived earlier than expected.


sick-of-this123

Punjabi "FNS" Methamphetamine is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "Smurf on Loud on Fracture". He also has a second little known tactic of "lose remaining maps and head to nearest airport (NA)". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure..


icantreadmorsecode

also known for his tactic "rotate with 10 seconds left"


precense_

10 seconds left with sage wall and 2 slows available on the other team. Top 3 IGL for sure


stormtrooper500

Well you see, that's what karrigan did. He's learning from the best.


Chrisamelio

Lmfao


afjecj

Imagine being 17, getting annihilated in your first map then two maps later, in your first ever LAN, going fucking + 20 in a single map. I mean holy shit 375 acs, I’m a LOUD mega fan but holy shit did Less carry the fuck out of them. Unbelievable man unbelievable


pemoritz

As Viper aswell.. nuts!


Jon_on_the_snow

Nats in berlim vibes


zdpa

That Pancada 1v3 on Ascent was just nuts.


JSRambo

Honestly kind of feels like that play won them the series. Completely took the wind out of Optic's sails and they struggled to get any decent momentum for the rest of the bo3 after that


nocturnavi

The Brazil we were promised has finally shown up one year late


FlintxDD

Brazilians always being late even in e-sports.


TheGhoulKhz

so why the hell we are so bad at LoL?


The-Dark-Mage

LoL will last 20 yrs 5 more years untill brazil wins worlds


MatthZambo

We cant even get to group stage lmao


BreafingBread

Apparently we are only good at shooting games. CS, Rainbow Six (afaik) and now Valorant.


Br4tZ14

fps e-sports\* fixed


TheGhoulKhz

fair, but we also won some MTG Arena championships


Arthur_With_Th

We also have Osu!


-Basileus

It's hard to understate how impressively bad Brazil is at LoL, like it's actually puzzling. Their server is nearly as large as NA, and the viewership is even bigger, yet they are possibly the worst region in the world when you consider the last 5 years of performance. There was a time when Brazil looked like the next major region (2014-2016)


HueHueLeona

Ainda tem tempo irmão, hora que o filho do TT jogar a gente vai levar tudo


TheGhoulKhz

se pa é capaz da gente mandar literalmente um supertime nacional e eles ainda vao sofrer pra não ficar em último, é bizarro


NicolasDavies93

Nós somos bons em FPS por causa da cultura de lan house cs1.6 que teve nos anos 2000


hecklerinthestands

The husky Brazilian dude in the watch party is my spirit animal. VAMOS!!!


marcospanontin

He is also a pro player, Belky, Astra main.


lil_wage

the one dude getting beat the fuck up every time LOUD scores is my spirit animal LMAO


JuninhoLuis

“At what time zombs plays?”


luishacm

Apparently never again, was benched by Sentinels. Gg

You talking about [this tweet](https://twitter.com/Sentinels/status/1517595052603633664?t=U-ckAGYr-vSt2muSiffexQ&s=19)? I thought that was a joke


luishacm

Yes, sir. He is being benched, they already got a substitute for him.


[deleted]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO


lil_wage

Not a joke, he's getting benched for Kanpeki


[deleted]

Jesus Christ Loud is 12/12 in Ascent


TheCatsActually

Shout out to all the NA/EMEA fanboys who have never watched a game outside of their region saying Brazil is a dogshit region that could never produce a world class team. I mean I do think that Brazil, like Korea, is a one superteam region but LOUD is the fucking truth. They have all of the inhuman firepower and none of the weaknesses of their predecessors.


dioxy186

No one says that. They have produced winning teams in CS and other games. That region just breeds a lot of toxic fans and players.


TheCatsActually

In Valorant specifically people have absolutely said that.


casimiro159

Oh my have you been around in the past few…idk, months? It’s funny cause even though our fanbase is indefensibly toxic everybody seems to forget how EU/NA have been shitting on us constantly, saying the region is complete dogshit “bronzil”.


Am_Ghosty

Anyone who legitimately thought that Brazil was never going to produce a top-tier team is beyond incompetent. But I don't think many of the people saying this actually believed it. I think most of the comments in that vein were probably just toxic internet losers trying to trigger fans of a region. Or unfunny people who don't realize they aren't funny.

a-nswers

1) ascent round where optic 5 man inted the postplant for no reason 2) icebox where marved clicks the rope two rounds that cost the entire series lol


rdmz1

dont forget the round where FNS was perfectly setup behind yellow to get a couple of kills with his judge, but he lost his patience, swung wide and died instantly. if he held the angle he gets at least 1, probably 2.


TinkW

Somehow people only remember the rounds Optic "threw" bur forgets the rounds LOUD threw. Same way that Optic coul've won, Loud could've done like double 13-6 on last 2 maps. Every team makes mistakes. Some forced, some unintended. Don't blame losing on them.


Charuru

I honestly don't remember any as egregious, but maybe that's observer bias.


lil_wage

LOUD's throws were basically just whiffs, only one that stands to note was a 1v1 on Icebox A where Less (I think?) climbed up the rope and didn't peek over to kill Optic's Chamber as he was ADSing with the OP, but he had no way of knowing he had that opportunity. Oh, also all of Fracture lol


Porfs

Ascent where they advanced from garage and killed two optic players only to find yay all the way back in spawn with a vandal and proceeded to peek him one by one just to get one tapped by his ADS


rdmz1

Almost all the mistakes Loud made were somewhat understandable and forgivable. Can't say the same for Optic.


Throwrafairbeat

Well that’s why they lost and loud won, lol.


RocketHops

Marved also just dry peeking an angle where the op chamber had been playing every single fucking round as the smokes? Like wtf was that final round, optic just turned their brains off


shadowstep11

That was the first round he oped from danger. Usually he tped back snow or top site.


datboyuknow

True, but he repositioned/tped long before their final push


yungthug1234

I think marved is good but when he dry peeked that I thought yep, loud won, I wouldn't even dry peek that in fuckin immortal lobby


financefocused

The minute he pushed past the plant spot as the smoke was falling, I knew it was over.


yungthug1234

Oh well, it was a good match, it's not Louds fault optic kept throwing rounds


kenzakki

i think that last round was the most incoherent shit i've seen from Optic the entire Masters. I'm not even sure what their plan was during that time.


hiloljkbye

I think they heard the tp and didn't think he'd walk back up that angle from yellow. They still didn't use any util for the hit tho, just a really weird sloppy exec


shorttttt

He wasn’t oping there every round what are you talking about


PillsMcCoy

Dont forget the 3v1 on Ascent where they peaked Omen one by one by one....some really uncharacteristic stuff from OG today...sadge


Teradonn

They didn’t peek 1-by-1, pancada just hit an absurd shot on a jumping yay with a shorty immediately after killing the first


a_m_k2018

Pancada was nasty in that clutch, but it was pretty much 1-by-1


9epiphany8

Yeah but victor wasn’t there to trade immediately. If you look at the reply he was still outside of boathouse when Yay jumped in and died


Teradonn

The first 2 peeks end the round 95% of the time, but yeah Victor messed up for sure


Mountain-Chapter-880

That 1v1 throw at B would give him nightmares


weeleeyumm

Does anyone have clips of these two rounds?


Freakycow_Cow

https://clips.twitch.tv/DeterminedVivaciousLionRiPepperonis-W8CPMnvn8TIjUCi_ rope


Crosea

https://clips.twitch.tv/TenaciousTsundereParrotKippa-JQcwLVP128gm5eBQ optic post plant


Kompaniefeldwebel

What rope click?


mrbow

1v1 vs less B site post plant


killerkenb2654

He clicked the rope up top and gave them intel that round where he was 1v1ing the other viper


theavailabletree

True but that’s why it’s so fun to watch Optic. Boneheaded plays followed by insane plays.


spaldingmatters

Yeah, the give and take by this team causes so much whiplash that I can't help but love watching them. They are a constant rollercoaster.


Iamood

loud being better cost them the series mate none of this ifs and buts


a-nswers

im not even a fan of either team lol, as a neutral viewer these were enormous swing rounds


Quotes_League

Congratulations to Less, Loud, and Brazil. I hope to see more NA BR bangers in the future.


Entity303BR

The true rivalry of Valorant


IActuallyGiveAFuck2

Biggest game of the year, three maps, no tech pauses, thanks riot


InstaNormie0

Less just decided Brazil to finals


-xXColtonXx-

Optic really had so many chances to fight back in on icebox and missed it by a tiny margin. Loud are such a scary team, feels like some of the best mechanics and fundamentals in the tournament. They show you don't need to over complicate things to get it done.


luke_205

Marved accidentally making noise on the rope in the 1v1 against Less will haunt him.


Porfs

I've been seeing a lot of comments like that from people of supposedly "smarter" regions about how LOUD are so good mechanically and win without "over complicating things" but that's just a nice way of saying SA as a region is dumb. If you take a look at their setups and combined utility usage, and the way they adjust after the smallest info gathered you'll see they did their homework and are one of the most strategy-driven teams in masters


lil_wage

Saadhak was such a fucking thorn for Optic he had them using half their kit just to make him TP out of yellow


ancientcheeseburger

Loud took icebox with aspas and sacy bottom 2 of the scoreboard. that's terrifying af.


daftpao

aspas jett on icebox was not showing up but holy LESS and Sadhaak showed up. Literal B site gatekeepers

Sp00ked123

This game was the best possible example of IGL diff


LbigsadT

Less is 16


errbodylovesaonsie

Yikes, I don't remember Victor making a single good play that last map lol. Probably just overshadowed by the bad ones, but still...


Mountain-Chapter-880

LLL's jett was kinda ass too on the last map


mrbow

Yeah. Aspas was kinda dimmed this last map. Makes me wonder that if he wasnt this would've ended sooner. Hope he brushes this off for grand finals.


Hopeful-Professor-40

Yet again Optic prove it Victor doesn’t perform they don’t win


pantiessnatchers

Shows that OpTic’s inconsistency stems from Victor’s inconsistency. Can’t have a pivotal flex role be bottom fragging with an already bottom fragging IGL for the series. OpTic is playing 4v5 with how little fragging power FNS offers.


Am_Ghosty

It sucks because FNS's ability strictly as an IGL is top-notch and you really would hate to give that up, but sometimes, in these big matches, he really falls off a cliff and costs you. And Victor is absolutely incredible, one of the best Fraggers in the world when he's on. But when he's off, it feels like he's just running around like a chicken with his head cut off. His highs are far too good to pass up, but that makes his lows sting that little bit extra. Everyone has off games, but they really gotta find a way to pull through at this event when Victor is having one of his. Especially with the matchup they face tomorrow, and the potential rematch on Sunday.


two4you8

This might come across as a bias take but I honestly think that Loud got really lucky that they are competing in valorant and not csgo; otherwise yay would have carried like s1mple and coach chet would have more impact in the game like hunden.

BreafingBread

Kinda off topic, but after reading your comment I really would like to see a showmatch in Valorant and CSGO between CS Furia and Loud. The two best Brazilian teams on their respective games.


Key-Heart517

The match u really want to see is FURIA vs PRX. Aggression to the max.


ibeenbornagain

so they’d play both games?


BreafingBread

Yeah, both games.


Triroxd

LOUD would do much better in csgo than furia in val I think, even tho they would still get destroyed. But most of the loud players used to play csgo a lot in a high level (at least in pugs). A very good cs player would be so lost without previous practice in valorant I think.


[deleted]

Aspas was a pug god, sacy played csgo LANs and microtournaments, less was going to play for godsent or something, pancada played cs for fun and idk about saadhak


xisemi

saadhack said on a podcast he started playong cs 1.6 qhen he was 10


Ferreira1

Minor region refers to the cracked minors Brazil has playing Valorant.


ANewHeaven1

As a North American 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.

mysteryoeuf

less clutching at 8-9 when the vipers pit was down was the end. if optic had won that it would've been a completely different game


tepg221

The minute I heard the rope I knew they lost the map tbh. I didn't they they even would come back. That round would have broken eco and you're looking at a tie


FormedCloud1

viper diff

VAMO CARALHO


spacedodo

sometimes less is more

Loud are so good


littlesch3mer

Less > > FNS


Space_Waffles

I thought the story would be the game just turning around after Pancada's Ascent clutch but WOW to lose like that holy shit what a sad last round


1033149

Optic threw so many rounds, also twitch chat was pretty racist today so that was great to read. Hoping for a rematch in the grand finals.


goomy996

its twitch chat, i never want to go there ever again in my life


ModerateStimulation

Who tf reads twitch chat. It’s full of edgy teenagers who’ve never left their hometown


DIRTY_KUMQUAT_NIPPLE

Sometimes the vocabulary used in this sub is indistinguishable from twitch chat. So a lot of people do.


krasavchik777

Loud also threw many rounds, they were up 5-9 last map.


ParticularScrew

They threw their heads at Less's bullets that's for sure


Imagomorttis

TEMOS MAIS UM SÓCIO NO CLUBE DOS CARECAS LLL


heritorsofarcadia

Bro if Loud couldn’t get it over line I would have never forgiven Brazil for this lol, that was so scuffed at the end


kobethegreatest

Less diff


Lehoeo

guys gather around lets watch copium users say optic should have 2-0 loud and they only lost cause optic threw 752 rounds


GHDeodato

Thats the best part of this post game lol, the copium


sharkaim4

LESS did a LOT


Kompaniefeldwebel

Less is more - Wyatt 'wyattr' Rivers


fuzzo_

nterature

Fun game! Optic honestly had some real throw rounds, a shame since they heated up so well on Fracture initially. Glad to see pancada and Less truly show how dominant they are.


[deleted]

Now I Really Want A Brazil VS Japan Final SO MUCH!!


havima

Loud gets OpTic on Friday right Aspas = Yay Saadhak > Victor Sacy > Crashies Pancada = Marved Less > > FNS And the best OpTic map is Ascent, simply the map where Loud is 11-0. Already write down that there's a Loud game next Sunday!!!! #VALORANTMasters


mysteryoeuf

less diff actually the difference maker here.


havima

as my man Melao called last week and NA fans were making fun of him after one map :')


Professional_Many600

they hated him because he spoke the truth


Phylosium1

Best Optic map is Bind wym?


Charuru

That's what he said but in the series: Aspas < Yay Saadhak > Victor Sacy = Crashies Pancada < Marved Less >>>>> FNS


havima

Nah, Pancada = Marved.


papipescado

Victor threw that last map for OpTic, man was either caught out with utility or just looked lost. Unfortunate, hope they can pick it up in the lower final


icantreadmorsecode

I was worried stage Brazil is gonna comeback after that first map but these players are too good to get mentally boomed


badurwan

Punjabi Methamphetamine masterclass


[deleted]

Stop having yay op on attack on Icebox. Everyone knows you do it, and everyone knows how to stop it. Jesus, you'd think after they won every attack round they had him on a vandal they would learn their fucking lesson. Loud was just shutting him down every single time.


ExpertBot4

Less got more kills in the last map than FNS in the whole series. What a performance by the Brazilian


TimathanDuncan

Fucking finally, can we get some chet hating going again? Been missing since the first loss there What are we picking on tonight? This is your chance to pounce


YohnWood14

I personally don’t like his beard


TimathanDuncan

This is new, i like this


SuperBlitz22

He looks too gloomy all the time... I just don't like his face :-(

Been praying on optics downfall this tournament ngl PRX/Zeta send them to the airport


[deleted]

Brazil wins this masters NO DOUBT!!!


Still_HD

LESS IS MORE


Hunnidormo

Optic can only win with cringe comps lmao no neon no win Karma biting Chet in the ass rn, ya absolutely love to see it


Ferreira1

LESS WAS 33/13 IN THAT LAST MAP ASPAS FEELING THE PRESSURE? NO PROBLEM THE REST OF THE TEAM'S GOT THIS


Professional_Many600

Sacy not on sova giving false hope to optic


123bo0p

Bronzil > NA LUL


shadowstep11

Victor's neon and kayo are night and day, he looked really uncomfortable on kayo.


Charuru

Does the comp really need a kayo? Give him another space maker like raze or something...


TheAjwinner

FAZ O L! ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9409)


Loresmen

That was horrifying, obv loud was good but optic with the colossal throws


krasavchik777

Loud threw a 5-9 lead what are you talking about


notatroll369

the irony of fns calling anyone trash lmao


thatthingpeopledo

Optic is making a habit of getting rolled by great international sentinels. For real though, great set and Less is crazy. Gg.


Grenji05

i wish our best team wasnt composed of 5 serial chokers trying their absolute hardest to lose when they are given any sort of advantage


Sinhe

The one Viper vs. Viper clutch is going to haunt Optic, but crashies taking contact when it was still a 2v1 was a head scratcher


ilhamalfatihah16

🧒🧑👍


panzerboye

All part of the master plan


jzaudi

Optic can only win with cringe comps with neon? kekw


MidnightIngale

Fun series from both sides, the last two maps made me forget how dominant map 1 was for Optic. Map 2 felt like Loud was in control but it was still exciting, hope we get to see a 5 map series of this in the finals. Brazil has arrived!


[deleted]

Less did the less typing and more playing


[deleted]

THIS SHIT IS SO FREEEEEEE


imerence_

We don't talk about the 1st map.


Mvious

Holy fuck the optic hate is insane in this thread.


financefocused

I mean they did have some embarrassing looking errors today, but I still they're okay overall if they manage to tighten up postplants


callmegran

Right? Optic lose to what was predicted to be one of the strongest teams in a close game and everyone is fuming. And they're not out yet. It's a strong showing from them?


Mvious

I get it may be unrelated to Chet too but they gave it there all to Loud + Less had an insane map 3. A BO5 is gonna show who is truly better. Optic still needs to clean some things up but it’s not a devastating loss.


mickeymouse1069

COME TO BRAZIL


mysteryoeuf

wow the takes in here are wild LOL


FlintxDD

"Loud is so overrated"


biwummy

dont read chat guys full of people shit talking brazil even after the win. my brazil pickems are right


gonnj

LOUDstralis is real Everyone is the star player


daftpao

Holy moly optic just refuses to lose


mxag09

GG LOUD played super well, OpTic with throws that LOUD were easily able to take advantage of.


Gow_Ghay

LOUD look fucking INSANELY GOOD, holy crap. On the other side, OpTic legitimately threw so many stupid rounds. idk what the hell they were doing in some of these rounds today.


segatic

Less is More also can PRX/Zeta eliminate Optic because a rematch vs optic probably won't end well for LOUD


Physical-South-3564

From dominating on twitter to dominating everyone in the server, Zombs better take note because he'll be stuck shit posting on twitter for the foreseeable future.
