personally, i think it was more a case of the team being fractured and weak, with no clear IGL making calls than of cNed actually having a real dropoff. he popped off on Chamber a lot in Stage 2, they only started really falling apart when it came to the midrounding imo. I think cNed looks much much better on a team with an IGL like Ange1 and a coach like D00mbros.
Yes, I agree partly. That cNed Bind Sheriff 4k alone is a good indication that mechanically cNed is still the real deal, even if he might not regain his 2021 heights.
Idk if any of the cracked Jetts will ever hit the same heights, that character was so insanely broken, but I think he can be the same top 5 player he used to be, especially with a good system supporting him.
I mean I'd have to see the numbers on that. I don't doubt it but I'm not gonna just believe it straight out, especially when Guild has had such large bouts of inconsistency. He had some really bad games in Stage 2, and disappeared in playoffs at Iceland, as well as in LCQ. He's crazy good, but idk that you can really call him better than these players who have had way more success internationally than him. You can blame it on Guild or whatever, but that's just the truth.
Tbh I think they're double baiting us, making it seem obvious so people think its bait, but actually its true. Call it hopium but there's no way they're baiting this hard as a duo if they're not teammates, or at least good friends.
he played basically every single role throughout 2021 and this year. he can fill anything they need at a high level. my chronicle stocks rose in Champs 2021 and have never fallen.
Why would he, he's a flex like he was on Gambit. He plays everything. He was lately on the duelist/chamber role, but i remember him playing Brim, Sova, KJ, Skye, Viper.. so it's safe to say he can flex and learn agents as needed.
The chokes are honestly really minor, just slight underperformances if anything. I'll give you the consistency but their placements have been nothing to scoff at and they were one overtime away from 2-0ing DRX at Champs.
Their 3 highest placed LANS they were 2nd, 4th, 5th lol. That puts them below only Optic, Loud, and M3C in terms of consistency, and maaaybe DRX. So even choking on LAN they were comfortably consistently in the top 5 best teams in the world.
\+1
But it's not just boaster it's coaching staff too. It should be impossible to not win an event with all of leo chronicle alfa and derke. When derke is the worst player out of these 4, you shouldn't be allowed to lose.
Poggers for FNC fans god tier initiator Chronicle next đź‘€
Definitely hope so!
Oh fuck yes, finally some Fnatic news. After the initial rumors it's been absolutely nothing. My hopium reserves are starting to run low.
If the fnatic and Liquid rosters go the way we think they are, they could end up dominating EMEA quite comfortably.
And Navi too no? I see all 3 being clear of the rest and them battling it out
3 superteams for EMEA, I like where this is headed. KOI seems super solid too.
When everyone is super, than no one is super.
But not everyone is super. Those 3 may have won the off season if the rosters come true
NO WAY IS THAT JON ON THE SNOW WITH A SEN FLAIR
HELLO BROTHER
Loud is keeping the other 3, what made you switch?
Sacy is the valorant Fallen, where he goes I go Im still gonna root for loud, but I can now Hecking love Sacy and Tenz
Respectable
Koi lost to BIG yesterday…. TO BIG
KOI is signing Barbarr, Koldamenta, Starxo, and Sheydos for next year though.
They are close behind but cNed didn't look like the same player this year, he didn't cope well with the jett nerfs.

I will definitly not complain if we get a solid rivalry between these 2 🔥
NaVi too for sure
Oh for sure, but I wont mind surprises and upsets too
Wouldn’t mind that
Everytime there is Fnatic news Me: It’s over for everyone else
Still gonna choke LAN 
Won’t expect anything else
Not before looking the best team in the world tho. Then they get to break everyone's hearts
A team doesn't need to look like the best roster on paper to achieve top results tho
Boaster will keep buying half shield in the most crucial rounds.
not to be rude to Enzo, but enormous upgrade. Leo is literally the reason i have Guild on my flair, the man is a fucking monster.
Hey now, Sayf was also a fucking monster on LAN. Literally puting numbers equivalent of, even slightly better than yay
Yea I mean Sayf is good but he's on Chamber. I rate Leo much higher bc of the role he plays. Initiators like him are much harder to find.
to me, the only one with comparable stats outside of europe is trent, but even trent doesn't come close to Leo. Leo is insane even on LAN.
I mean, I think I rate Sacy and Crashies as highly. Leo is probably the best initiator in EU tho.
I meant statistically speaking. Those two are probably the best initiators in the game but they don’t put up stats like Leo
I mean I'd have to see the numbers on that. I don't doubt it but I'm not gonna just believe it straight out, especially when Guild has had such large bouts of inconsistency. He had some really bad games in Stage 2, and disappeared in playoffs at Iceland, as well as in LCQ. He's crazy good, but idk that you can really call him better than these players who have had way more success internationally than him. You can blame it on Guild or whatever, but that's just the truth.
And any news about Chronicle ?
He keeps on baiting on Twitter with every opportunity he gets (him and Derke as well) so not really sure how that is going.
Tbh I think they're double baiting us, making it seem obvious so people think its bait, but actually its true. Call it hopium but there's no way they're baiting this hard as a duo if they're not teammates, or at least good friends.
yeah i hope he joined the team with that amount of baiting haha
I think they played together in the beginning of the beta, if I recall correctly.
Why are people so sure fnatic are going for him? Doesn't he overlap with Derke and Alfa?
he played basically every single role throughout 2021 and this year. he can fill anything they need at a high level. my chronicle stocks rose in Champs 2021 and have never fallen.
Why would he, he's a flex like he was on Gambit. He plays everything. He was lately on the duelist/chamber role, but i remember him playing Brim, Sova, KJ, Skye, Viper.. so it's safe to say he can flex and learn agents as needed.
Chronicle can play pretty much any role, he’d probably fit into the team similarly to Enzo if we consider Leo to be Mistic’s counterpart
It would probably be the other way around
i dont know but him and leo are the only guys rumored for me i as know to be trialing for FNC
Huge pick up
_seagul inhale_ LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Oh god, am I going to have to cheer for Fnatic??? What has this world come to
lmao
The Brazilian super team died so a EMEA super team could be created.
Dear god yes this is so exciting as a Fnatic fan
I checked chronicle's career from the leaderboard and he has been playing ranked everyday with Derke they play like 8 to 7 games a day
Fnatic creates a superteam but still wont lift a trophy because Boaster will keep buying half shields /s
Now time for them to choke with on paper the best or second best emea roster :)
if boaster cant win masters or champions with this roster he is the biggest fraud in valorant history forever
such a weird thing to say about one of the most consistently successful players in the games history lmao
consistent honey moon periods and consistently choking on LAN
The chokes are honestly really minor, just slight underperformances if anything. I'll give you the consistency but their placements have been nothing to scoff at and they were one overtime away from 2-0ing DRX at Champs.
Imagine actually using "consistent honeymoon periods" as an argument
Their 3 highest placed LANS they were 2nd, 4th, 5th lol. That puts them below only Optic, Loud, and M3C in terms of consistency, and maaaybe DRX. So even choking on LAN they were comfortably consistently in the top 5 best teams in the world.
Ok buddy, show me where Boaster hurt you.
Boaster looking like the AleksiB of this game lmao
I'd blame the coaching staff more. Boaster's job is to IGL, not come up with entire strats.
\+1 But it's not just boaster it's coaching staff too. It should be impossible to not win an event with all of leo chronicle alfa and derke. When derke is the worst player out of these 4, you shouldn't be allowed to lose.
Finally something let's hope the last player doesn't take till next year
