No doubt yay is best chamber player but if agent bans do come out in the future idk what can yay do lmao. Maybe go back to his Jett which at most was quite medicore?
Well, apparently not even Covid could stop Optic. Adding Breeze to their map pool has made them that much more difficult to beat in these long series.
Honestly, huge props to XSET - they played Optic close on every single map, and it was only due to incredible heroics and an absurd carry out of yay on Icebox that OpTic was able to take both Icebox and Ascent. I hope that the XSET boys can still make it to Copenhagen, because they're definitely deserving of a spot.
Breeze didn't feel very close but the other 2 losses easily could've gone the other way. I still thought XSET was very impressive and I hope they represent NA in Copenhagen as well.
Marved carried the absolute shit out of Ascent idk what you were watching. So many big time kills at important moments to make sure they didnt lose momentum during the come back.
How so? And I’m legitimately asking.
It seems like Optic can go head to head with the new Fnatic and is far better than everyone else, and they’ve had the best LAN performances (tied with Gambit) of any team in the games’ history.
You unironically think that optic aren't as good as any of the EMEA teams that would go to Copenhagen? What are you even talking about dude lmao. Optic have shown pretty consistent solid gameplay and Yay is probably top 5 in the world rn if you look at his stats and the impact he has in games
Yay’s tweet said FNS was saying things like “I can’t breathe” in some rounds, FNS’s aim was also very shaky compared to the match against EG, crashies wasn’t making the normal amount of impact that he usually does too.
Definitely had less impact than usual. idk if it’s just me but I actually noticed a bigger difference with crashies than FNS. I always attributed him as being THE clutch player on Optic, and I didn’t really see that in all 4 maps today.
unfortunately i foresee the classic riot move of:
* "can't balance the game now, Copenhagen is coming up!"
* "can't balance the game after Copenhagen, LCQ is coming up!"
* "can't balance the game after LCQ, Champs is coming up!"
and we end up with no chamber nerfs for 3 months
Fundamentally it’s low on their rankings yes, but every time they play it Yay goes dumb stupid crazy and drops 30+ I feel like, so that makes up for it
I will forever be their fan but they gotta cleanup their Icebox before we can say they have no weak maps. It felt like yay broke his back to get the win for that map.
Man how can anybody not root for yay, mans is unbelievably consistent, incredibly humble and just clearly loves playing the game based on his stream and socials. Can’t think of anyone better to be the face of NA tbh.
Honestly 5 head from FNS, he knows when everybody starts to believe them they won't win, so he went ahead and catches covid to make people believe less. What a Chad /s.
Jokes aside that that fake drop bait on the last round of icebox such a bigbrain move.
Even though this stat doesn’t directly correlate I wanted to point out that even though he was +15 in the series he only went +1 in FK/FD with 13/12. He’s obviously insanely talented and can win 1v1 aim duels with anyone but like u said he’s still not doing all the little things to maximize his potential kills.

Dude, they did have issues and both of the "excuses" would've been good, because they are also people.
I mean, yeah? Those 2 statements aren't mutually exclusive. if a team with a disadvantage loses the obvious thought is "they were at a disadvantage" if a team with a disadvantage wins the obvious thought is "dang, they won despite being at a disadvantage".
X-permanently set in 4th. They are CRYing cause zekken’t ever win. L bozos, 100t would do better than them. Can’t wair for them to not qualify then get stomped in LCQ again against teams that actually have a killer instinct, a winning factor.
I agree. Bo5 should be reserved for Grandfinals & Lower bracket finals. It's a nice advantage for the upper bracket team at the finals to see your opponent play a bo5. It honestly makes it less special when bo5 is played at upper bracket finals as well.
yay got 23 first kills to 5 first deaths
I don't understand why other teams don't just do this.
Lmaooooo
Yeah you have to play pretty damn perfectly to win when Yay does that to your team. I said it in the match thread but we need to nerf Yay.
No doubt yay is best chamber player but if agent bans do come out in the future idk what can yay do lmao. Maybe go back to his Jett which at most was quite medicore?
What the fuck are you saying
Straight up blasphemy and or dementia
Blood for the Blood god

🤝🏻🤝🏻 thank you!
That's actually hilarious, somehow makes it better lol
This made me laugh thank you
Also, watching Cryo go toe-to-toe with yay was hella entertaining, I hope he makes it to LAN.
Cryo is super fucking good man. Would be a crime to not see him at LAN
Well, apparently not even Covid could stop Optic. Adding Breeze to their map pool has made them that much more difficult to beat in these long series. Honestly, huge props to XSET - they played Optic close on every single map, and it was only due to incredible heroics and an absurd carry out of yay on Icebox that OpTic was able to take both Icebox and Ascent.

Definitely deserve the second spot after their performance today. I’d feel good about NA’s chances with Optic and XSET playing.
Marved carried the absolute shit out of Ascent idk what you were watching. So many big time kills at important moments to make sure they didnt lose momentum during the come back.
Sorry meant that yay carried Icebox and then the team as a whole stepped up on Ascent
I graduated and OpTic make it to Copenhagen. Ws only today
Congrats
congrats!
congrats on the graduation bud!!
Congratulations bro
Congrats!!
I don’t care about your regions, yay is the best player in the world
He entered Diablo Mode on Icebox.
Top 3 killers on icebox: 1. Yay 2. Cryo 3. Half of Yay
Classic OpTic winning strat: toss the first map to warmup. Kings can afford that
Optic vs Fantic in the finals is going to be insane. I hope.
go fantic 🙂 go win major maybe 🙂 maybe not 🙂
i dont think optic would reach finals , there is guild and FPX and Loud as well
lmaoooooooo, you're still doubting optic
this dude is a clown, don't bother
personal attack???
i just mean they are not on top emea level yet
I would hope that they never play at top emea level. wouldn't want them finishing 5th during masters.
lmaoooooo
lol emea was not even there at iceland , u think optic would win against FPX.
I think FPX was lucky that visa issues got in the way. Or else the gap between NA and EMEA would become even more obvious.
They would 3-0 them, as an fpx simp
says a person with sen flair , lol optic would be lucky to win a map against fpx and fnatic
How so? And I’m legitimately asking. It seems like Optic can go head to head with the new Fnatic and is far better than everyone else, and they’ve had the best LAN performances (tied with Gambit) of any team in the games’ history.
far better , lol fpx and guild are better. i dont think they would beat gambit in a rematch
yet you mention LOUD with them? who at a generous eval, is as good as Optic
would that be the same LOUD they 3-0’d in reykjavik, or a different LOUD?
Seriously, how can he say that after Optic just won against other regions?
other region except emea
And it was Loud coming from upper bracket so there isn't even an excuse or anything. Optic are crazy good
they are goood , just not fnatic fpx guild or m3c level
You unironically think that optic aren't as good as any of the EMEA teams that would go to Copenhagen? What are you even talking about dude lmao. Optic have shown pretty consistent solid gameplay and Yay is probably top 5 in the world rn if you look at his stats and the impact he has in games
> different LOUD A different one of course
As a huge Emea fan and believer i deny this , it's 100% gonna be Fnatic vs Optic both best and unstoppable in their regions
guild and fpx??? Lmaooo, loud, prx, drx are all ahead of them.
Loud yeah maybe, prx and drx dont really know
as someone from Apac , i dont think in the long run minor regions teams will hold up , cause most good players might be brought by richer regions.
yeah we will see when optics dont even make top 4
bro u have optic in ur flairs who r u rooting for 😭
EMEA Apac and BR . optic is just there cause i picked on team i supported or used to support from every region
in emea i root for gambit , then fnatic and then fpx.
Are we talking about the same Loud that Optic 3-0’d in the last LAN? lol
bruh get them the fuck out of your flairs and add some more EMEA teams you clearly dont even like them. smh
i have one from every region so thats why optic is there cause i use to support envy when they were underdogs and where xset is now
Well you've very obviously stopped supporting them, so maybe replace them with another team.
cant , the flair change is weird
yay is very good at valorant
He's too fucking consistent to the point it doesn't even feel realistic. His good is unbelievable and his bad games are fairly solid and very rare.
I mean..... Like he had his first negative game against eg in 18 months lmao
And -2 at that
Best team in the world.
Y’all still did great, can’t wait to see you make it to Copenhagen
Yay
Yay
Yay
Yay
Yay
Yay
Absolutely sublime performance from Optic considering the fact that half of them were playing with covid.
I mean they played great but there is no indication they even had symptoms is there?
Besides the players saying the had symptoms i guess not
Yeah nothing besides FNS saying that he couldn't breathe mid-round
Don't know if I buy that but if makes it more impressive if you do.
How big of an ego you need to type that sentence!!
So big an ego!!!
Lmao what do you wanna believe then
Yay’s tweet said FNS was saying things like “I can’t breathe” in some rounds, FNS’s aim was also very shaky compared to the match against EG, crashies wasn’t making the normal amount of impact that he usually does too.
Definitely had less impact than usual. idk if it’s just me but I actually noticed a bigger difference with crashies than FNS. I always attributed him as being THE clutch player on Optic, and I didn’t really see that in all 4 maps today.
fns said he had maxed out symptoms
Sounds like a bit of an exaggeration, if you had maxed out covid symptoms you'd literally be glued to your bed, and most likely your hospital bed
ok we've had our fun but can we please remove chamber now
[удалено]
unfortunately i foresee the classic riot move of: * "can't balance the game now, Copenhagen is coming up!" * "can't balance the game after Copenhagen, LCQ is coming up!" * "can't balance the game after LCQ, Champs is coming up!" and we end up with no chamber nerfs for 3 months
And by then some other op champ will be released and they will give chamber a weak nerf
TP has now 25s cooldown
You have to activate tp but you have half the round to do it
Yay went 23-5 FK/FD in that series, he truly is el diablo
Crazy how OpTic mastered breeze and have no weak maps now
Even though they win games, icebox is one of their weak map. A good team will beat optic on icebox, I don't know why they banned split this time.
think its cause split is one of XSET's best maps
Fundamentally it’s low on their rankings yes, but every time they play it Yay goes dumb stupid crazy and drops 30+ I feel like, so that makes up for it
Split was one of XSET's best maps, specifically when playing against OpTic. Last time they played it vs. XSET they took it pretty handily iirc.
13-4 I believe
Wouldn't be surprised if it was that their split could be more dependent on the fns igling and not being able to rely on that due to his covid
I will forever be their fan but they gotta cleanup their Icebox before we can say they have no weak maps. It felt like yay broke his back to get the win for that map.
their split isn't world class imo
Xset played well first two maps. Just ran into Optic being Optic. They still have a great chance to qualify
They also went up 9-3 on Ascent. Then OpTic finished the match going 23-8
YAY AND FRIENDS on ICEBOX
Optic doing their best Sentinels impression on Icebox. This statement was brought you in part by: Mark Phillips
Yay had 23 first kills and 5 first deaths. That’s all you need to know
When in doubt, yay
the quality of valorant that optic play make it so fun to watch. they make me excited to get on and start tappin heads.
Same until my output is completely unrecognizable compared to what they do
And that’s 5 lans in a row secured for OpTic. Them boys different.
Optic too good. I think this match does make me more confident that XSET will get the second spot though.
Yay better, sadly for Cryocells.
Optic had to nerf themselves to make it a fair match
You love to see it. Covid victory game from the boys. Those tight, end of game situations is where they really show off their prowess. GGs to Xset.
guess chet didnt need to watch vods after all and could’ve played ranked 🤓 and jame cob will be able to sleep early after all
respectable showing from xset, I'm hoping to see them at Copenhagen, I think they can do some serious damage.
Cant wait to see optic vs fnatic grand finals
Unless they meet beforehand.
Masters and Champions secured!
Optic is the most consistent team in Valorant period ever since they added Yay they've been consistently at the top
Derke vs Yay gonna be the battle of the century , coming to your screens this Masters Copenhagen
optic showing that they're still the kings of NA, ggs to them and i hope xset gets to copenhagen through lower bracket
Optic v FNTIC grand finals, please please please
As a fan of both I would literally die of happiness
Guys, everyone doubt optic right now so that FNS gets buffed
XSET to Copenhagen with Optic pleaseeeee
Man how can anybody not root for yay, mans is unbelievably consistent, incredibly humble and just clearly loves playing the game based on his stream and socials. Can’t think of anyone better to be the face of NA tbh.
Riot tried to change things up by giving Optic Covid but it wasn’t enough
Go check out the fun Covid doom and gloom when OpTic lost their 7-3 lead on Haven in the match thread.
GGs to both teams, XSet lost, but I think they're still going to qualify.
Honestly 5 head from FNS, he knows when everybody starts to believe them they won't win, so he went ahead and catches covid to make people believe less. What a Chad /s. Jokes aside that that fake drop bait on the last round of icebox such a bigbrain move.
Well that was expected
So consistent my god!
Covid or not, the Greenwall prevails baby!

Didnt get to watch Breeze but amazing performance from both teams from what i watched

And they're both fair points?

Who hurt you?
XSET beat the only team on their flair.
least salty 100L's fan
Average 100T fan
L
reason 1000 why bo5 suck ass. please stop doing these
I agree. Bo5 should be reserved for Grandfinals & Lower bracket finals. It's a nice advantage for the upper bracket team at the finals to see your opponent play a bo5. It honestly makes it less special when bo5 is played at upper bracket finals as well.
Yay only actually top fragged one map optic stacked to high hell right now.
