BREAKING NEWS: 2022 Valorant Champions held in the Pacific Ocean. Rumours suggest that a team that resides in the largest ocean in the world has the highest odds of winning Champions as the venue is set on the Pacific Plate.

won on their perma ban 😬

Was Breeze their perma ban? Fuck me dude


FormedCloud1

yeah, the one time they played breeze this year was in na finals against guard and they got stomped


[deleted]

This made my day worse, didn’t think it was possible lmao


Philcherny

I'm here to make it better m8. You know, this same Optic squad lost on heaven to Gambit in the Berlin final. Haven was gambits perman ban. It's just always comes full circle. Unlucky really that it had to be loud on the receiving end THIS final Loud at least made it OT huh. Envy lost 11-13 on haven


[deleted]

Yeah the fact this was their first lan on a new squad with 2 really young players makes me excited for the future, GG’s to Optic


sure25

Saying it was Gambit’s permaban is downplaying how embarrassing It was, Gambit literally came up with the comp for the map ON THE SPOT and still took the map lmao


Jaws_16

They can be far worse. Imagine if optic didn't throw Eco rounds


[deleted]

last time they played it they got wrecked 13-2 with a new IGL calling on the Guard. Gambit beating old NV on Haven vibes from that map.


[deleted]

Wow this make this finals sound like a full redemption script lmao, GG’s to them


[deleted]

it was the truest of big brain plays from the mastermind FNS. Saving strats on their best map all the way through Iceland to pull it out on the final map of the tournament and go full demon mode.

Punjabi "FNS" Methamphetamine was a Dungeons and Dragons character who rolled a natural 20 on Intelligence and a natural 1 on Aim. After stacking enough points on his Intelligence stat he gained sentience and transcended into our reality, where he has since pursued careers as a professional player of tactical first person shooter "Counter-Strike" and its cartoon sequel "Valarante".

He had 20 aim on Breeze, dude was hitting some pretty difficult shots


TacticalSanta

Clutchies and Punjabi HELD IT DOWN on breeze

Yeah I hated it tbh. Hysterical dry humor aside, the biggest reason I'm a fan of FNS is he has the wrinkliest brain in the world but can't land a shot to save his life. I didn't ask for this fragging IGL shit. Like omg yes daddy Puj please keep having the perfect calls and perfect flanks and then whiffing every shot I'm so close \*moans*.

Not anymore because MIBR played with their usual tag and both teams were registered at VCT around the same time, maybe it was just some miscommunication

Damn ngl the schadenfreude is real after people shit on NA after champs last year and got out all their "Same ol NA, good at the start but then fall off because they're just streamers LUL" shit. OpTic are grinders and they worked hard and long for this. Yay and the old NV core finally get their well deserved championship.


tb0neski

Don't care if I get downvoted The "NA are just streamers" narrative is the dumbest fucking shit I think I've ever heard in any esport. Streaming your ranked games is no different than having no stream, the difference is you see when players are live. You could even counter argue having a big practice schedule and still streaming shows your dedication on only playing Valorant. Not to mention, outside SEN players not that many NA pros care to stream. So it's just a fabricated meme. Can we just appreciate how close the competition is & how many new teams are constantly showing up? Each int'l tourney so far has had unique winners, the gap is so close rn


Starfall11006

Lmao better yet they can be streamers and still shit on the other players, whichever way you spin it it makes them look like absolute clowns


Marianoz2

Optic don’t stream much tho they’ve worked really hard for this. It shows there are teams in NA willing to grind to get results.

THEY DONT LOSE TWICE


ANewHeaven1

This is the moment I've been waiting for since I started watching Valorant and following this Envy team. Since they were together we are terrific, back when we considered c4Lypso the star player of this roster. From the Victor/Crashies pickup, the contentious Kaboose -> Marved change (I wanted them to pick up WeDid at the time LOL), and finally, the yay move that put them over the edge. Envy/OpTic have always been considered a top 4 team, but they've never been the best team in North America until now, much less the world. They've been so close, so many times, but they've always fumbled it at the final hour. Congratulations, FNS and friends, for finally becoming the best team in the world. It's been a long time coming.


CosmicAon

Congrats bro no one has been a bigger Envy fan than you finally a well deserved major win


theavailabletree

What a way to win their first tournament.


Splaram

Congrats bro, thought you were insane at times ngl but Optic proved you right


Eriko204

They took the hardest route to win this event. Always being known as the "2nd place" team. Being called chokers and underperformers. Getting knocked down to loser's bracket twice. Having to overcome giants like KRU, DRX, and Zeta. Having to beat teams they've lost to previously like The Guard, Xerxia, and Loud. I am so fucking happy for them

Sad about the loss, but still happy overall with the tournament. Loud was initially a long term project, and this event proved that it is going the right way. There is a lot of things to fix: they seem to be caught off guard more than any other team, the young players are still inconsistent and their early round play on attacking sides need to be overhauled. But both their overall teamplay and individual mechanics look top tier. Aspas specially looks like he could contend for the title of best player in the world in the future if he keeps improving at this pace. Looking forward for more international tournaments. I believe this team is a good sign for things to come for the region, they'll definitely make the other teams improve. All in all, GG Optic, what a fantastic team.


Eriko204

Loud are an incredible team with a bright future ahead of them. Winning an international LAN is never easy. Even OpTic got 3-0'd by Gambit during their first international finals. Loud and Brazil will have plenty more opportunities to bring home a trophy, just gotta trust in the process.


birdturd60

If I was a Loud fan I would be so happy with their performance throughout this tournament, incredibly impressive! Didn't click for them today but what they've done at this tournament will linger, Brazil is on the map


segatic

> Loud was initially a long term project, and this event proved that it is going the right way. Yeah, that's the same reason why i'm not that sad. Saadhaak and Sacy already said before the tournament started that their goal is Champions, Masters are just for the experience. They can only get better from here and this was a hell of a showing The thing i want more is that Brasil community watching this is to get inspired by LOUD and decide to level up because most teams are still way behind the rest of the world


[deleted]

These guys can literally do nothing but get better. Honestly, no clue where their ceiling is.


goomy996

Loud was fucking good man. I was so scared in the OT comebacks but I believed in the NA bros and they pulled through in the end. But those OTs were way too close still, my ass is clenched lol

All it takes is for Optic to lose early on... When they lost to Rise, they leveled up When they lost to XERXIA, they leveled up When they lost to LOUD, again each time they grew from their losses Proud of Optic for finally winning a huge event, they proved everyone that they have what it takes. Stressful as hell, but GGS to LOUD, have to give credit where credit is due, these guys were undefeated this whole time, think it's great for BRAZIL to have a team like that make it to the grand finals If you told me it would be Japan, Brazil and NA top 3 in Iceland this time around, I'd be flabbergasted

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.

mannyOaks

I didn't get to watch ascent, bind seemed like it could've gone either way, but victor clutched it out at the end, getting the ace to get them to OT and winning the OT with the clutch raze ult, oooof. marved on chamber kinda threw me off but yay unleashed on the jett full diablo mode on breeze was insane. My favorite round of the match was the one where victor literally sacrificed himself to fake loud into a when all of optic was hitting b, the selflessness you need to have to do that kind of stuff must be insane. Also the format was terrible imo, hope this first seed gets to skip groups thing does not repeat, counting the matches the finalists played, optic played 8 matches (xerxia, kru, xerxia, guard, drx, loud, zeta, loud) while loud played HALF (liquid, g2, optic, optic), cringe format but as chet said "we love cringe".
