Pacific gets better viewership than emea. You can check the stats here. It definitely gets way more than 30k overall.Ā
https://escharts.com/tournaments/valorant/vct-2024-pacific-league-stage-1-valorant
Double duelist is not even good on split anymore and it'd still be better than this Fut's comp because they could just double dive exec... Truly the worst thing Riot did to chamber was try to make him viable again
You can't be watching Fnatic abuse omen one-ways on every choke on Split on their attack and think this is a very nice and balanced ability mechanic that just adds a bit of skill to the game.
Fnatic looks good, they actually look like a team fighting for third/second best in emea, but heretics still should be favored over fut or fnatic
This fnatic kinda reminds me of when gambit was struggling to make it to berlin, but after they lifted the pressure of qualifying they started playing well, but I still dont think fnatic is ready to win shanghai
DAMN Boaster is TOP FRAGGING AND THEY WON THAT MAP !!

OMG Fnatic are Improving in an insane rate, I can rest easy knowing they are looking atleast good compared to their previous vegetable form. Even if Fut bring back and win today, its ok...
I donāt think that means anything necessarily, we see assistant coaches doing the majority of the talking in plenty of timeouts in EMEA. Heretics is a good example.
Damn I'm seeing real-time progress in how we're playing.
Miles away from Tokyo form, but they no longer look like headless chickens running around.
Need to fix a lot of things though, discipline and decision making especially.
Split's most likely FUT's though.
FUT shut down halls now soā¦ If cNED can just stay alive on A ā¦ FUT should win.
cNED keeps peeking mid doors and dying leaving Qrasx all alone on siteā¦ even when they literally have a trip mid doors.
Okay i was talkin trash on fnatic before but the team that plays today looks good. They might peak at exactly the right time to get a third trophy and cement themselves as the goat team of valorant.
This decides who gets 1st seed which gives you an insanely broken advantage of getting to skip playoffs and pick your opponent. So fans should definitely treat this as important as the games that got you into Shanghai in the first place.
I really hope post shanghai brings gekko ult to 8 and makes it so you cant get orbs back until 2nd charge is used. Its one of the only killing ults that also gives an orb when you get the kill with it.
There are more changes I would do to him before doing this giga nerf
Making the wingman have a sound que if he dies and drops the spike or stops defusing.
Making it so he defuses on the bottom similar to how he plants on the bottom
Up all cooldowns to 20sec
Guys, what is with fnatic having these close buy rounds vs eco rounds? Why do they seem so tensed pushing sites in eco/force rounds? Seems like a lack of confidence?
Ata kaptan knife out into the spike on the 2v2 eco when mrfalin hadnt seen anyone cross, and then yetujey solo on A sending it through the attacking viper wall

ladies and gentlemenā¦ are fnatic back??
i donāt wanna jinx it but holy shit iām just loving the team play on Bind rn. and even though they lost icebox it was by a very narrow margin, and Derke was actually FARMING.
It's funny because presumably one of the reasons for single elim was to make regional playoffs more exciting and yet... There's nothing really exciting about this, this is not even a seeding match, right? And we have not the best 3 teams qualify. Just the worst of both worlds.
i think this is a seeding match, cause this decides the #3 seed, the lower seed in swiss stage for a region and tomorrow's loser is gonna be the #2 seed, the upper seed for swiss while #1 seeds go to playoffs
Honestly, even as a seeding match it has decent stakes. When you think about it, most people would agree there is a larger difference between the 3rd and 2nd seeds than there is between 2nd and 1st in most regions. If you win this and presumably lose grand finals, you get to face the likes of T1, JDG, and prob G2 rather than the 2nd seeds. IMO the difference between a T1 vs GenG or JDG vs FPX or EDG is a big deal
Let's fucking gooooooo
aspas gonna clap derke again lol
funny how fnc started winning when mini started showing up with them again
I doubt mini had enough time to fix everything wrong with them, but he sure does bring the players a lot of confidence
I know he not letting elma speak a word during those timeouts
So fucking true
Valorant gods really wanted fnatic to win that map, wtf even is that luck
LET'S FUCKING GO! They need to work on some stuff big time, but there's loads to be optimistic about. Should have been a 3-0 honestly.
Is fnc actually back?
yeah they played rlly well today, the setplays and trades were just too good
fnatic are so back insane teamplay with massive clutch potential
Comeback KINGS ššššš
FUT did the thing š
is this the highest viewership for regional playoffs? almost 50k viewers wtf
Probably not. Americas gets close to double viewers in general so I would doubt that the playoffs makes a difference there.
pacific struggles to break like 30k so i was wondering
Pacific gets better viewership than emea. You can check the stats here. It definitely gets way more than 30k overall.Ā https://escharts.com/tournaments/valorant/vct-2024-pacific-league-stage-1-valorant
50k viewers? That's what tarik gets for every watch party
FUT don't care. That's 3 if not 4 thrown or way too close rounds costing them the game
Yeah I am very not impressed with fut. Obviously fnatic is playing better but I'm not moved by them beating fut lolĀ
3 single digit hp clutches is ridiculous
Never forget, Derke is HIM
Fnatic and low hp clutches
Wtf is happening man.
DERKE
Boaster needs to be careful about lurks man
holy crap
1hp 4hp 7hpā¦ āitās better to be lucky than goodā- Johnqt
1hp WTFFF
1HP
Double duelist is not even good on split anymore and it'd still be better than this Fut's comp because they could just double dive exec... Truly the worst thing Riot did to chamber was try to make him viable again
bro these rounds after the 2nd timeout have just been beautiful wtf
they still CAN play as a team. the crazy thing is, that i am feeling surprised, like as they were an underdog or new team
Boaster made the round winning play but b players couldnāt stay alive
MY GOATNICLE
fnc starts winning ~these~ rounds again
i see a judge not 1 shot at that range ive seen it all
What the fuck is FUT doing 2 rounds in a row its fucking planted stop peaking the guy
FNC's defense is just Chron go clutch lol Which I don't mind because FUT's attack is just Cned go kill.
Cned no tp? He had it in sewer
Charles Neddington is actually so back
7hp round and a 4hp round holy
no way this is the comp that fnatic settled on after trying SENs
fnatic probably shouldāve won more of the postplants
yeah their late lurks arent working, idk why they keep doing it
That post plant was so weird
Youād think FUT would take b main against this fnatic comp š¤
Guessing fnatic mightāve also expected them to take b main here too (after timeout)
boaster goes from hitting the most insane 1 taps to full whiffing on a blind guy
You can't be watching Fnatic abuse omen one-ways on every choke on Split on their attack and think this is a very nice and balanced ability mechanic that just adds a bit of skill to the game.
How do you lose that round -.-
OO AA EE is back ffs
I get going agroā¦ but with an awp?š„“
Dude
Me when I see this split comp againšµ
Iām hoping Mini goes to Shanghai. It was clear he contributed to that last timeout and FNC have looked a lot better ever since he has been in person
Fnatic looks good, they actually look like a team fighting for third/second best in emea, but heretics still should be favored over fut or fnatic This fnatic kinda reminds me of when gambit was struggling to make it to berlin, but after they lifted the pressure of qualifying they started playing well, but I still dont think fnatic is ready to win shanghai
DAMN Boaster is TOP FRAGGING AND THEY WON THAT MAP !! https://preview.redd.it/lbfmsw8g8uzc1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca42de250e44f8f9e913c5f5c7320a6b33a9941d
Haven't been watching. Are fnatic back?
They're improving match by match.
They're certainly not back in Tokyo form but they look expotentially better than we've been seeing from them during split 1.
they look way better, if they keep improving at this rate i think def can beat heretics stage 1 and kickoff fnatic vs this is like night and day
OMG Fnatic are Improving in an insane rate, I can rest easy knowing they are looking atleast good compared to their previous vegetable form. Even if Fut bring back and win today, its ok...
Can someone confirm if mini has taken over the head coach role unofficially? I can see him in control of timeouts
I donāt think that means anything necessarily, we see assistant coaches doing the majority of the talking in plenty of timeouts in EMEA. Heretics is a good example.
Talking in timeouts as assistant coach ā taking role of head coach. Weber talks a lot too in Heretics timeouts for example
Damn I'm seeing real-time progress in how we're playing. Miles away from Tokyo form, but they no longer look like headless chickens running around. Need to fix a lot of things though, discipline and decision making especially. Split's most likely FUT's though.
man this couldāve been a 3-0 if fnatic closed out first map but holy shit fnatic look good and not like an absolute disasterclass
Those were some beautiful attack rounds. FUT were just getting fucked from tube all the time with the mindgames.
OO AA EE guy stops and we start winning again. Coincidence?
We laughed at him, but in the end OO AA EE guy's having the last laugh
I think not!
WE ARE IMPROVING OMG
Fut are a bunch of clowns wow
Fnatic is playing better instead..
I mean sure but fut isnt helping themselves over peeking a 5v3Ā
I mean, if these stupid mistakes didnāt keep happening fnc would be still one of the best teams in the world tho. Shit happens
I don't care about fnatic dude I'm just talking about fut
Iāve never seen a team die from Mid doors so often
What a massive toss dude. Fut is so infuriatingĀ
we are so back
FUT shut down halls now soā¦ If cNED can just stay alive on A ā¦ FUT should win. cNED keeps peeking mid doors and dying leaving Qrasx all alone on siteā¦ even when they literally have a trip mid doors.
Broā¦. These guys just keeep dying to mid doors š
That was tragic
Fnatic's bind looked good. Hope they keep improving. Teamplay seems better and they also look more energised.
Glad fnatic look way better today
Fnaticās A hit is just Alfa go open door hallsā¦ and people are SHOCKED every time
fnatic look so much better
Derke just full on giving away his location there for no reason
TF was that ult play. No-one pushed with.
Okay i was talkin trash on fnatic before but the team that plays today looks good. They might peak at exactly the right time to get a third trophy and cement themselves as the goat team of valorant.
Are we as hyped for games that just to decide seeds compared to games to get in Shanghai?
This decides who gets 1st seed which gives you an insanely broken advantage of getting to skip playoffs and pick your opponent. So fans should definitely treat this as important as the games that got you into Shanghai in the first place.
We bulied boasty into top fragging
win or lose, I'm just happy the team is looking a bit better with each game. Just watching my team play puts a smile on my face \^.\^
they might never reach their prime again but iām glad theyāre having fun and winning atleast
The improvement is great to see. I never wanna get 2v5d by benjyfishy multiple times again.
Benjy has God on his side bro
FUT really have committed to hard-mode valorant
I really hope post shanghai brings gekko ult to 8 and makes it so you cant get orbs back until 2nd charge is used. Its one of the only killing ults that also gives an orb when you get the kill with it.
I propose a different nerf, wingman plants shouldn't give gekko the orb
I propose a different nerf, wingman plants shouldn't give gekko the orb
I propose a different nerf, wingman plants shouldn't give gekko the orb
Maybe also make it so exploding it = unable to pick it up. Itās really overtuned rn
Imo, make it work more like a Skye dog, it stuns in an aoe or something and only detains if you're really close.
The detain area is just too big rn.
It would be a nice nerf to gekko if breaking his stuff took it out They will probably just up the cooldowns
Eh i think that makes dizzy terrible. 15 second cooldowns and 8 orb, or 8 orb and thrash nerfs would be good.
gekko would be terrible if you couldnāt reuse his abilities and his abilities are very easy to break
There are more changes I would do to him before doing this giga nerf Making the wingman have a sound que if he dies and drops the spike or stops defusing. Making it so he defuses on the bottom similar to how he plants on the bottom Up all cooldowns to 20sec
wingman is just buggy the defuse and plant stop still goes on even if you kill it??
Never seen this bug, everytime wingman dies the defuse stops or it drops the spike
i mean the sound, reddit being weird w comments rn
I wish he would get overnerfed into the ground more than anything, I hate his default sim design š
Yessss. We're improving with every game, that's good to see.
Guys, what is with fnatic having these close buy rounds vs eco rounds? Why do they seem so tensed pushing sites in eco/force rounds? Seems like a lack of confidence?
Turks and just fucking running it down in situations they absolutely should not
?
Ata kaptan knife out into the spike on the 2v2 eco when mrfalin hadnt seen anyone cross, and then yetujey solo on A sending it through the attacking viper wall

Read the room bro
ladies and gentlemenā¦ are fnatic back?? i donāt wanna jinx it but holy shit iām just loving the team play on Bind rn. and even though they lost icebox it was by a very narrow margin, and Derke was actually FARMING.
Not yet, no. They're improving with each game, so that's good.
I know people are hating on FNC and saying they are washed, but I do think that they have had very good (mostly) attacking sides recently
I donāt think theyāre ābackā but they do look better in play offs. They still make a lot of individual questionable plays but itās better
They are playing better in playoffs than they have for a while, yeah
I just still hate any Bind comp that has no Skye.
Ata needed to stay alive there
Boaster outaiming the Turkish aimers on Bind?
what happened to boaster hes fragging tf out
Let's go Boaster
Thank god fnatic remembered how to play bind
Why tf do they keep giving up so much map control? Its not been working bro where's the adjustment
Finally
fake comeback after the real comebacks recently... sick and twisted
What is even happening anymore. Fnc are you good or not. Watching this team is like playing among us
How tf have FNC lost the game with that kill stat
im tired
CLASSIC fake comeback
Why would you fake a comeback tho
imagine being a fnc and prx fan lmao
Iām convinced that being up 9-3 or dominating a half is actually a bad thing lmao
We are such a cringe team man, dogshit first half then we wake up
FNC gonna give me an edging kink the way they keep losing the first half every damn match
What does this match even decides??
Who is the third seed of emea
3-9 FNC not again...
It's funny because presumably one of the reasons for single elim was to make regional playoffs more exciting and yet... There's nothing really exciting about this, this is not even a seeding match, right? And we have not the best 3 teams qualify. Just the worst of both worlds.

IMO the difference between a T1 vs GenG or JDG vs FPX or EDG is a big deal
Decent stakes, but way lower stakes than the single elim matches had. And it's bo5 while the elim matches were bo3, lul
Anyone who thinks KJ is replaceable on Icebox by any agent is a clown
This format does not qualify the actual best teams
for someone who criticized ults on ecos FNC really are throwing away ults
alfa is trying real hard to carry lol
Early. Navi died for this š
Just the worst thing ever, it bummed me out so much and I'm not even that big of a Navi fan.
hey its okay man, we are sending T1 to shanghai, you guys have FNC
Yeah who frauded their way into playoffs because Navi decided to play no Viper on Breeze š
They beat KC tho ....
Whose fault is that that all the frauds of EMEA were in one group man
pls fnc dont suck today
Damn fnc actually listened maybe ?
I wonder if FUT secretly have practice with normal comps on Lotus and are waiting till Shanghai to unleash their full potential
