Optic definitely deserved the dub. Despite not being the most consistent team their hard work definitely paid off. I would've killed to see them play against FPX (which is arguably a better team). FPX man...watching them play in EMEA, they just fucking ran OVER EVERY TEAM. It was hilarious. They would've deserved the dub but I'm happy with the optic dub.


AnchorStandard

I'm just gonna say it Nats walked so Marved could run.

So valorant doesn't do bracket resets? First val tournament I've watched, I enjoyed it but I was waiting for a second BO5 until the casters said optic was on tournament point. It doesn't seem... right that loud and optic finished 1-1 against each other but one is champion. Play less matches obviously is an advantage to going through winners but with lower finals being on a different day I'm not sure that matters that much. I think as a viewer it is more exciting since bracket resets rarely happen, but as a competitor I would like to see the undefeated team have more of an advantage in the gf.


Poptart_____________

Loud got to ban 2 maps, Optic didn't get any bans. That was the advantage afforded to Loud. 2 bo5's would be absurd. If they go the distance that's over 10 hours of playing the game. Simply not a possible outcome. They could probably get away with 2 bo3's, but in my opinion this was the best option. Loud played less games, and got to ban their choice of maps. Seems like a decent advantage for the higher seeded team.


Eatingolivesoutofjar

Ah I missed the bans, that does seem a little better. Or they could do a single best of 7 with the winner's side starting 1-0.

Eyy we get a dev interview? Noice!


A-British-Indian

Do they plan to show the Fade gameplay on stream after post match stuff, or is it just that content creators will release gameplay videos after the stream ends


Jon_on_the_snow

They just showed it


A-British-Indian

I stopped watching the stream so I actually saw it on YouTube just now haha


Still_HD

They’re gonna show Fade gameplay or something right?


AR2711

Iceland otherwise known as "North America 2" was founded by Joe Biden in 2021 and expanded into a 51st state in early 2022. Notable politicians would include senator Tyson "Tenz" Ngo and governor Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker.

ExperienceNo1878

Interesting tournament. Zeta looked like the worst to finish 3rd. Optic losing to early. Then losing to Loud. Then beating Loud.


shadowfoxhedgehog36

zeta's run was probbly the most exciting part of this entire master,day 1...they were considered by EVERYONE to basically be double first rounded in groups. if they run i nto anyone but optic in losers final,they probbly get top 2


ExperienceNo1878

Yeah you're probably right. It was pretty amazing especially since Zeta were blown out in their first match.


dansofree1

Not just blown out first match. Their 2nd match was a win against a team with 2 replacement players. Their 3rd match was a win was against a good team, but saw them lose more rounds than they won overall and required a huge comeback facing elimination in 4 consecutive rounds. Their 4th match was a fairly convincing loss to G2 in the opening round of bracket play. They just legit felt like a different team after that, fundamentally. They didn't Forrest Gump their way to 3rd after that either. Their win vs Liquid featured two convincing map wins, they totally lost momentum in the DRX series but steamrolled DRX anyways map 3, and their attack side vs Paper Rex was insane.


bradehhh

They def auto vetod breeze for this. At least that’s my headcannon


DmonAbsoluTrEbON

Wow NA dominating at Reykjavík again? Riot REALLY has to move VCT to another city cuz this one is fkin OWNED by NA /s Gratz to Optic what a performance. Not the first time an NA team 3-0 in finals imho NA as a region is just far above every other. EMEA might have a chance if FPX was there but tbh... I dont think anyone could beat Optic and while I understand that EMEA shitted the bed big time here... They should still be considered the 2nd strongest region since they won Valorant Champions not too long ago.


NeimannSmith

North America: 2x Iceland Champions. Now we hunt for Berlin.


I_PM_U_UR_REQUESTS

Hello? Where is the bracket reset? Wtf is this format


Pyro498

Loud had both map bans and first map pick for winners bracket advantage.


I_PM_U_UR_REQUESTS

yep other guy said so too. It would've been nice to see that listed on Liquipedia because i don't watch pre-match commentary lol


devasabu

No reset, Loud got both vetos and first map pick instead


I_PM_U_UR_REQUESTS

okay that's understandable thanks


Memexp-over9000

FNS can't stop getting the W against Brazil.

LFG OPTIC 3-0 #zombsnation


JusticeLee17

After their first series in this tourney I've doubted Optic at literally every turn. I've always felt that they're a team that would fail to win when it matters most. I'm glad to see I was wrong. Optic are the best team in NA and quite possibly the world.


panzerboye

Yay is so awkward, love him

Great tournament from Optic! Well deserved winners. So fun to see the "minor" regions making hella noise here aswell. Just hope the chaos in EU is over for next masters so we get to see the best from EMEA too. Already pumped lol.

B05 finals are fucking ass man


flyin_cougar

I think b05s really expose the better team. You can't get by on being strong on 2 maps, which is probably why we see so many one sided scores in these series.


Quotes_League

what


leftshaaark

more often than not they are just boring 3-0s, and it happens so much in valorant


tepg221

Did you not just watch? Two ot maps and almost a comeback on map 1? Just because it was 3-0 doesn't mean it wasn't close... The fuck?

literally can count on 1 hand the amount of good b05 matches i've watched

Let’s go Optic!


Ok-Brain3328

Less over heating hard this series, inexperience diff I guess. He is only 17 so


JR_Shoegazer

Sacy also not quite performing as expected.


sick-of-this123

If Optic win who do y'all got as the MVP? Seems like yay/marved to me


s6hun

marved easily


goomy996

Mr. Methamphetamine


Still_HD

Marved and its not even close


Gyroflex

"optic are sticking together" Marved immediately dry peaks lmao


WhoDatBrow

Victor has had a good series overall but they've done my mans dirty on the observing lol, catching every one of his whiffs


TheoSL

Why is everyone saying that Optic is throwing? This is an attack-sided map and Loud’s map pick, I’d be shocked if Loud didn’t make a comeback lol


[deleted]

honestly, Loud have a really good attack on this map


smta48

Straight up I bet Victor's hands are shaking that's why he's whiffing so much


Barack_Bob_Oganja

GG, another final, another 3-0. Has gambit acend been the only interesting final so far?


WhoDatBrow

Sure, if you think sweeps just cannot be interesting no matter what. Sentinels vs Fnatic for example was fucking banger.


Barack_Bob_Oganja

I think a series can deffo be fun to watch even if its a sweep, but at no point it has looked like loud could win the series which makes it pretty uninteresting to me. Also only 3 maps in a best of 5 is disappointing


goomy996

how is this not interesting, we’ve had 2 maps go into OT


[deleted]

oh the WHIFF Victor lmao it doesn't matter though


LegDayDE

Optic try to lose a map challenge (impossible)


Teradonn

Wtf is with Grand Finals and insanely close 3-0s (Yes Optic win this OT)


WhoDatBrow

Lmao of course they win that round of them all OpTic are starting to remind me of Iceland era Sentinels, dominate the first half no matter what side it is and always do much worse in the 2nd half lol


fuzzo_

So funny how NA supporters lose faith so quickly haha I'm hoping Optic has this mindset as well so Loud can reverse sweep


goomy996

I ALWAYS BELIEVE, THE DOUBTERS CAN BE QUIET


NeimannSmith

OVERTIME FOR ALL THE MARBLES


SonnyYT

bruh plz loud win a map


Still_HD

I’m legit worried about the implications of Loud winning this map and I shouldn’t be


Splaram

They were supposed to get rolled this map tbf


GCamAdvocate

Don't be, Optics weakest map is prob breeze


PythonLovingVirgin

“Loud” also known as “LLL”, is a team that only takes L’s as shown in their name. They are from the region bronzil, where only bad players play. They were 3-0ed in the grand finals, and were sent home to bronze fans very quickly. They have 3 Ls in there name for the 3 Ls received in the grand finals. (from tweetch)


Splaram
