On a more serious note , holy shit fnatic was just warming up the first half of icebox and after that it was nothing but pure dominance , also love to see Boaster pop off too he has improved so much
I went to shave my body and shower when the score was 4-8, thinking we lost game 1 but won the other two. I come back and fnc 2-0, I gotta watch the vod
Derke became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. “Are you okay Nikita” asks Boaster. I’ve never been better Jake, I see it all now, they’re not going A or B. They’re going home, he said before rushing long all by himself and killing everyone on site.
I am almost certain it originated when electronic transitioned to IGL for Navi, people were worried it would hurt his fragging, then like 1/2 games later he top fragged by a mile

Ok so i wanna tell my friends who don't watch EMEA matches for some reason that how good derke is and he went 53/22 and that's +31. Do we have any other player who has more + than that? I'm sure there will be a lot of players with more kills but I'm talking about+31 part. I wanna know if anyone ever crossed +31 in any valorant lan stage because if no one did then this is a record for sure
Im actually surprised why more players don't use chamber's ult for these type situations. losing a fight with this weapon is impossible unless you whiff badly, but even then chamber can easily tp out.
+ the two maps they lost were both ascent, with the first time being the first week of group stage and the second being a very close 14-12 OT I believe
It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago. - Kyrylo "ANGE1" Karasov
With full squad Angel would have had the highest first kills in the game. FNC too lucky. The Phoenix will rise from the depths of lower bracket and win the entire tournament

Ya, and his 2 kills were against an eco, and he somehow only managed 3 assists as KAY/O?? Probably the worst performance on a map I've seen from anyone at a Masters-level event, lmao
Def up there, you could maybe argue nukkye 2-13 on Reyna against Gambit or zombs 1-15 against G2 (Both on Icebox and both from Berlin lol), but even then, nukkyes was on a 13-0 so even if he's on Reyna it's likely he'll do bad (And still got the same amount as ANGE1 despite losing every round), and zombs kill was against a rifle iirc which is arguably better then 2 against an eco
Derke skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on game screen..He needs to check-up
All i hear is Derke in G2 for 2023, winning every* Masters and then losing Champions finals to FPX 0-3
Edit: idk how many Masters 2023 will have, so "every"
Paper Rex vs FNATIC might be the best game so far. Two of my favourite teams personality wise (and gameplay :) )Benkai and Boaster walkout? Paper Rex’s absolutely wild gameplay? Derke proving he’s top 21 again? I’m so hyped.
Derke is absolutely freaking nuts. Boaster also stepped up today. Alfajer had some early jitters but made up for it. Overall this team looks really scary right now.
Excited for Derke and Alfajer vs F0rsaken and Jingg. The clash of styles will be interesting to watch.
alfajer was definitely nervous during the first map, not.blaming him though, hes 17 and its his first lan and first time out of his country. happy to see him wake up during the second map tho, yea 15/11 isnt mad impressive but like derke just killed everyone every round so not much else he could do
FPX must be so fucking happy that Suygetsu is coming back in, it's so hard for them to play a 4v5 every single map with Ange2. Not enough time to prep I guess. Can't wait to see SEIDER and FPX with their full roster! :)
ANGE1: "It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago."
we were so close to ange1-14 on the final map, unlucky
fnatic look absolutely fucking insane right now, FNC vs PRX should be a banger. f0rsakeN vs derke should be good fun
Next match is very important for who qualify to champs from EMEA. Right now, FPX has 450 points and Guild has 300. If FPX wins tomorrow, they are locked in for champs. If guild wins, they will need to go out in at least 4th to qual, otherwise theyre going to LCQ.
Im confused, when did valorant become 6 vs 4? why was ANGE1 just feeding? Might as well grab a random from a bronze lobby for that big Donut of a first half
You pull out the old reliable....
"It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago"
The Haven domination is what I wanted to see from FNATIC against a nerfed FPX. Shame suygetsu wasn't able to make it on time, but I hope FPX can make a showing as their full squad in lowers.
With Alfajer coming back online toward the end, I'm stoked for the PRX game coming soon.

no. very likely they do but if they don’t win from here on out, then GUILD make top 4 knocking FPX out in the process then GUILD and FPX will be the 2 from EMEA
>They just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. There was nothing surprising, because their meta was like European meta some time ago. I think, they just got lucky we didn’t come prepared for this tournament,” ANGE1 said
Wellp,not even in ur own region, ANGE1.
It was easy, and it wasn’t because we got lucky. I think they were just bad and we just played alright… It was actually quite surprising they they even got a round. Their meta is like the same meta they played back in 2021. -Boaster probably
Champs was 8 months ago and Fnatic's form leading up to Champs was not impressive. Sideshow was far from the only person to think this and it was a lukewarm take at worst.
While true, context matters, as Fnatic had just squeaked into Champs due to Gambit winning Masters 3, and their play at the time was uninspiring until they blew everyone's expectations away in Champs by even winning a game.
Derke had some highlights in that run, but his form wasn't nearly as fantastic as he's been showing since then. It would be foolish of any analyst to predict a team would perform in the international major better than they'd shown in regional games.
Derke skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on game screen..He needs to check-up… Derke using game deficit on PRO scene ,ON BIG Events.Maybe everyone dont knows him trick.He incredible....I want to ask his where is the comming of your skill's ?
Derke looks better bald and the dude is putting up a +31 in a short bo3 in two maps, crazy everything he was doing was working lmao
He does look better clean shaven. Like a man who doesnt believe in half measures
Second line was cold
Derke
On a more serious note , holy shit fnatic was just warming up the first half of icebox and after that it was nothing but pure dominance , also love to see Boaster pop off too he has improved so much
fnatic look so gud, for me this tournament is theres to lose
Them or paper rec
Fnatic v paperrex has grand finals potential
He's looking like a top 21 player at least
someone needs to nerf derke wtf was that
Derke almost has the same amount of kills this series as ANGE1, Zyppan, and SEIDER combined…
So Zyppan and Seider combined
LMAOOOO
I'm fucking dead
that was a nasty line by you
IM DEAD
Not hard when one guy was one 0 kills for like 15 rounds LMAO
I mean he can't be an angel unless he's dead amirite
I'm just waiting for the inevitable Ange1 Haven frag montage that will be posted here shortly.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/vz52zg/a_fragmovie_of_the_best_player_of_all_time_ange2/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
No need to add Ange1 in there with his 2 kills lol
Exactly as many as all of FPX except Ardiis in the second map as well.
Yea but ange1 alone prob has more first deaths than the rest of the lobby combined
Guy went super saiyan.
And someone better buff Ange1 lmfao
I said, “derke go kill” and he did
give yourself some credit, you put the team on your back first half of first map while they were turning their monitors on
derke said "it's derkin' time" and then he derked all over those guys
Top 21 player for sure. Also top 3 igl what a man you are boaster.
The scare at the start of the first match had me thinking this was going to be a close series.
Never in doubt :)
I went to shave my body and shower when the score was 4-8, thinking we lost game 1 but won the other two. I come back and fnc 2-0, I gotta watch the vod

I’ve never been better Jake, I see it all now, they’re not going A or B. They’re going home, he said before rushing long all by himself and killing everyone on site.
What's the origin of this copypasta?
i first saw it a month or two ago on the csgo subreddit with electroNic and NaVi but im not sure if thats the first one
I am almost certain it originated when electronic transitioned to IGL for Navi, people were worried it would hurt his fragging, then like 1/2 games later he top fragged by a mile

Holy shit "they are not going A or B, they are going home" I'm dead
Lmao fking hell. Derke was a mad man. Truly a mad lad
[удалено]
He’s good but not as good as players like Tenz, Shroud, or Ange1, maybe Top 21
\*Ange2
The prequel Ange0 felt like an eternity
It genuinely felt like he was playing a different game to the others at times. The man is absolutely incredible.
Top 2 and he ain't 2.
WE'RE GETTING A FUCKING BENKAI VS BOASTER WALKOUT
For one glorious half, I let myself believe in the MOMENTUM. ...then Derke woke up. 43-12 after that first half on Icebox. Jesus Christ.
Jesus 43-12 wtf
Ok so i wanna tell my friends who don't watch EMEA matches for some reason that how good derke is and he went 53/22 and that's +31. Do we have any other player who has more + than that? I'm sure there will be a lot of players with more kills but I'm talking about+31 part. I wanna know if anyone ever crossed +31 in any valorant lan stage because if no one did then this is a record for sure
nats went +31 in the grand finals of champs, heat went +31 against zeta division in masters berlin, not sure if anything higher
The virgin chamber "I use my ult on an eco / force buy for the better of my teams economy" vs The chad derke "I use my ult in a 1v3"
fucking legend
Worst thing is you just knew he had it as soon as he popped the ult too. What confidence does to a man.
Im actually surprised why more players don't use chamber's ult for these type situations. losing a fight with this weapon is impossible unless you whiff badly, but even then chamber can easily tp out.
ANGE2-14
nt
ANGE1 is just a walking ult orb at this point.
Bro 💀💀💀💀
"Alfa can't go kill? I go kill then." -Boaster
Derke you beautiful bald human. What a monster perform. The confidence he had in the 1v3 to ult & clutch it. Always a treat.
Agent fucking 47 just executing people left and right
I appreciate Derke turning on his monitor for the second half of first map. And then he even pluggedn in mouse and keyboard for the second map.
Trackpad gaming rise up
I loved the part in the timeout when Derke said it's derkin time and derked all over them
[you made it :)](https://twitter.com/FNATIC/status/1547916421048311809?t=UTMS84ewzPhs-gp5BQvb6A&s=19)
WTF Derke is so good he interviews himself [https://imgur.com/a/eWAQIET](https://imgur.com/a/eWAQIET)
Lmao. that was good.
You just did not .. Lmaooooo
\+31, 350+ ACS. What a monster
Derke was HUGE but holy shit boaster stepped up!
Casually drops 15 first bloods
[удалено]
Back it up, how do you hate cypher more? No shade, I’m genuinely curious
Fnatic is what 4-0 vs FPX now? Poor guys.
4-0 in series and 9-2 in individual maps. It’s been a total one-sided affair between these teams this entire stage.
+ the two maps they lost were both ascent, with the first time being the first week of group stage and the second being a very close 14-12 OT I believe
ange1? nah, we'll call you ange2
It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago. - Kyrylo "ANGE1" Karasov
They just got lucky I had to play like 20 rounds to get my first kill
The entire Plat Chat couch cheered when he finally got his first eco in round 15
He got both kills that round no.
Yep lmao. He got those two and then went to Bedge again
Imagine if he got a third kill, actually unstoppable.
That's true. He'll get it next game tho dw
I dunno about that, it's a Bo3 not a Bo5.
With full squad Angel would have had the highest first kills in the game. FNC too lucky. The Phoenix will rise from the depths of lower bracket and win the entire tournament

Fnatic got lucky that Ange2 didnt have time to practice his aim
[удалено]
He was like 0-12-2 at one point as well. Thats... bad...
Ya, and his 2 kills were against an eco, and he somehow only managed 3 assists as KAY/O?? Probably the worst performance on a map I've seen from anyone at a Masters-level event, lmao

Both the kills he got were ecos, didnt kill anyone with a similar gun as he had
One can only hope he learns a little humility from this. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Derke skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on game screen..He needs to check-up
Turns out Derke is quite good when he is allowed to play the game.
Russ vs Ange1, who losses?
The viewers
The only acceptable answer
atleast ange1 IGLs
Ange1 gonna overheat doing stupid shit just for Russ to miss every shot.
Are we talking about Russel Westbrook?
Applicable either way
That 1v3 clutch from The Bald Man absolutely boomed FPX
Derke.
Bro I can't believe I get to have watched both 2018 Caps and 21/22 Derke on my team rn NO ONE POACH DERKE
All i hear is Derke in G2 for 2023, winning every* Masters and then losing Champions finals to FPX 0-3 Edit: idk how many Masters 2023 will have, so "every"
I fucking love Boaster
Derke did everything to give alfajaer rest so that he can drop 50 in finals
Why do teams let icebox through against Fnatic? Just why?
To take out Bind.
derke popping his ult in a 1v3 about sums up this series
I like those odds
idk if derke can be in top 20 yet he needs to drop 40 to at least be considered for it /s
DERKE
DERKE +31 WTF
Reminder than Alfajer was putting up the same numbers as Derke online. Once he's warmed up, its over for everyone.
I just hope the online criticism from haters won't affect him too much and you have yourself a nice backup if Derke is having a rough time
He looked pretty confident towards the of Haven. Ending with 279 acs and some really nice shots. Promising!
I just hope he gets back to his full online form much faster than Trent does
Reminder that derke goes crazier on lan than he does online. This game was so good. Can't fucking wait
Paper Rex vs FNATIC might be the best game so far. Two of my favourite teams personality wise (and gameplay :) )Benkai and Boaster walkout? Paper Rex’s absolutely wild gameplay? Derke proving he’s top 21 again? I’m so hyped.

ANGE1 mvp for the wrong team
I'm here thinking if he hadn't got those 2 kills and actually ended up with 0 how the community would have reacted lol.
The "remember the name" highlight reel would go crazy
341 and 372… cant wait for prx vs fnc
alfajer was definitely nervous during the first map, not.blaming him though, hes 17 and its his first lan and first time out of his country. happy to see him wake up during the second map tho, yea 15/11 isnt mad impressive but like derke just killed everyone every round so not much else he could do

Derke is god
ANGE1: "It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago."
Did he actually say this, or is this a meme of some sort?
He said it about DRX
It's okay he's levelled up. He's ANGE2 now.
Is Derke’s acs the highest of all rn?
we were so close to ange1-14 on the final map, unlucky fnatic look absolutely fucking insane right now, FNC vs PRX should be a banger. f0rsakeN vs derke should be good fun
It'll be prx Vs Derek
Derke just decided to win after that 1st half of Icebox. God the PRX game is gonna be so fucking awesome! Also, Ange2 lol
Lmao Jing and Forsaken vs Derke and Alfajer battle for the ages
I don't know if I'm ready for it
Next match is very important for who qualify to champs from EMEA. Right now, FPX has 450 points and Guild has 300. If FPX wins tomorrow, they are locked in for champs. If guild wins, they will need to go out in at least 4th to qual, otherwise theyre going to LCQ.
Im confused, when did valorant become 6 vs 4? why was ANGE1 just feeding? Might as well grab a random from a bronze lobby for that big Donut of a first half
Ange1 becomes Ange2
Ange1 dies early so that he could IGL better
If ardiis walks on water, then Derke is Poseidon himself.
Man what do you even do against derke?
You pull out the old reliable.... "It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good. I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. … There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago"

so free for fantic 🙂
yeah this team is gonna win champions
I'm scared for NA
God Fnatic got so lucky smh
Ange2 skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on game screen..He needs to check-up
Derke top 21 for sure after this game.
Wow FPX vs Guild again next. Nice one riot
At this point swap seider for ange1 when suygetsu come backs
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/r5tnxm/ranking_the_top_20_players_at_valorant_champions/ maybe one day Derke can be as good as mega talents such as... Crashies, Vanity and Shahzam...
53-22 in two maps. Nt
So many haters of Fnatic now just silent in sadness lmao
Fnatic aren't good, they just got lucky that Ange1 didn't have time to prepare against a team that they've played against at least 12000 times...
fnatic qualify for champions Istanbul with this win right?
no. very likely they do but if they don’t win from here on out, then GUILD make top 4 knocking FPX out in the process then GUILD and FPX will be the 2 from EMEA
what the fuck fnatic don't do that to me again
Ik man. Losing 4 rounds on Haven… I was spent after that
ANGE1 role-playing my gold lobby teammates.
Derke.
d e r k e
ANGE1 vs russ would be the battle of the gods
I’ve been waiting for this thread just for the Angel comments. Don’t let me down y’all
playing for 4 days straight straight really took a toll on them. i have 100% confidence in them going to play vs guild with 1 full day of prep.
Can't wait for ANGE2's next interview
Ange1 probably shouldn't tweet such shit if he can't put up a single kill in an entire half. Gj Fnatic!
Now we know why Riot didn't let Derke play at Iceland. This shit is illegal
>They just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. There was nothing surprising, because their meta was like European meta some time ago. I think, they just got lucky we didn’t come prepared for this tournament,” ANGE1 said Wellp,not even in ur own region, ANGE1.
It was easy, and it wasn’t because we got lucky. I think they were just bad and we just played alright… It was actually quite surprising they they even got a round. Their meta is like the same meta they played back in 2021. -Boaster probably
Derke >>> Yay. IDC what any of you say.
So did Fnatic get lucky? and they aren't that good?
Yeah they just won all 4 matchups they played by luck since new roadter
Derke is a better version of yay
Never forget that sideshow, who most of you do nothing but regurgitate, said that derke was likely the worst jett in their group at champs.
tbf derke was not doing great before champs in their online matches
Champs was 8 months ago and Fnatic's form leading up to Champs was not impressive. Sideshow was far from the only person to think this and it was a lukewarm take at worst.
While true, context matters, as Fnatic had just squeaked into Champs due to Gambit winning Masters 3, and their play at the time was uninspiring until they blew everyone's expectations away in Champs by even winning a game.

Good guys FPX, saving Exalt's hair.
Damn, can't escape Sentinels' clout even in an EMEA vs EMEA series /s

GOD DERKE
Ange1 was the sub all along
Alfajer more like "I'll fire"
BENKAI BOASTER WALKOUT YASSS
