Ah Zeta's Cinderella run. It's probably the best, most hype tourney run of 2022

[@oskarifps]

yea but it was kinda only enabled by the fact that this tourney EU was heavy heavy nerfed

[@kielsonelnikos8589]

@@oskarifps Sure that played a part, but still, no one can deny that they had the most unexpected and impressive growth out of any team during the duration of that tournament. And eliminating both DRX and PRX consecutively is not something any team can boast about.

[@king_thanos_2116]

The most hype tourney run for me was DRX at Champs tbh They played against full power EMEA and finally didn't lose at 5/6th

[@ViXoZuDo]

DRX league of legends Worlds 2022 Cinderella run is the best tourney run of 2022 by a lot... even more, probably in history... they went from the Play-In Stage (equivalent to LCQ in valorant) to actually winning the worlds against T1 (Faker's team - LoL Goat player, 3 times world champion and favorites by miles after a perfect season), and actually defeating every single regional champion and the former world champion in their way though the brackets. I follow most e-sports, and it is the first time I ever witness something of that caliber.

[@cykablyat1652]

@@king_thanos_2116 ever since drx started competing internationally and i watched them play i knew this team is a championship winner but their mental always dismantles in important moments which made me think maybe their destined for 5th place which would be such a waste when they have prolly the best managment in vct and such beautiful playstyle with top players in the world but they proved me wrong , they should get a mental health coach for São Paulo tho i heard astralis got one and they went from major chokers to 4 time major winners

[@More_tefi]

People often forgetting how impactfull great controller can be. Both ZETA and PRX run showcase SugarZero and MindFreak insane performance regardless of their team's very different playstyle.

[@robgronkowski432]

Same with maybe the best controller in the world in Marved when he was on Optic

[@walangaccount8984]

Every team has a cracked controller injected with those clutch genes.

[@scenode]

Man I love seeing emotional moments in exports like the casters in this video. Really makes you wanna just see Zeta beat everyone for those casters’ sakes.

[@akimo.6995]

Should be really sick if I saw there reaction being a Lan champion

[@shinobukocho5923]

Zeta's story is like an anime arc of grinding to become champions. They were always eliminated before but the improvement and dedication to become one of the best is insane from them. Their aims are the absolute best and i really love their story. I was so proud of them that they placed higher and I believe they will improve more.

[@goqgleit]

Zeta getting the group of death in Champions was super unfortunate but despite not making it out of groups, I'm still incredibly proud of them. Been a fan since they were Absolute Jupiter and I'm gonna continue being one ❤ Great vid!

[@aiwa78]

いいっすねぇ

[@tysu1]

bro why are this man’s videos so good?! Such an underrated KZbinr

[@mukuro8033]

Maybe I've watched too much Anime. But ZETA's progress at Masters is like a Shounen show. And it is Glorious. And being top 10 during Champions is no joke. Also their Casters just instinctively makes you smile whenever they scream without any care to their vocal cords.

[@EmiWi]

Broooo, we need an esports anime, imagine how cool that would be

[@soham4741]

@@EmiWi It might need be a copyright issue though, unless the creators decide to come up with their own esport game.

[@EmiWi]

@@soham4741 yeah I imagined they would just imagine up a new game, in fact that’s part of the thrill, then they can make up the rules.

[@sunkissedrhodonite]

ive been rooting for them from the start I fell in love with them, they made me so proud beyond tears. Masters one was truly one of the most enjoyable tournaments to watch. i would stay up all night watching every zeta match

[@JakeTran141]

An interesting fact about ZETA vs DRX: Ascent is DRX's best map, at around 80% winrate, and also ZETA's ban map every match before that. This meant that ZETA, instead of banning Ascent, they banned Haven, and basically freestyled this map, but they still managed quite a decent scoreline

[@chillsway9550]

I love the fact that he uses pokemon osts, for the hype moments, it really hits the spot

[@definitelynotryanhardt]

Was gonna comment this, this man has great taste

[@duseifert]

It was so unfortunate that zeta lost TWICE for Loud, they could've shaken some things up in playoffs

[@たも-n6l]

felt like some kind of team issue was right there. I think it was mainly because of TENNN's eye injury and following some practicing stuff, but thing's over and not sure at the end of the day.

[@duseifert]

@@たも-n6l it's not like they played bad, they did put up a fight against Loud, almost taking Bind

[@gynn1]

Man, I love your story telling. You caught me off-guard with that RRQ "tribute" in the last part. Great video!

[@CommendYT]

Thank you so much!

[@demircodrin7190]

TheScore eSports just made exactly the same video - yours is 10 times better

[@sleepybwai]

Goosebumps. I hope they see this video and get fired up for the next matches they'll play. Goodluck ZETA!

[@whateverdc9901]

bro this channel is slowly becoming my favourite channel. the videos are so well made with proper research (i just watched past 4-5 videos) ukw this channel is criminally underrated.

[@ryana1400]

I love the pokemon music lmao

[@stormdivision617]

10:06 Sideshow saying 'I let my baldness go to my head' is actually hilarious

[@vorb5559]

I'm really grateful for u to making this wonderful vid as a jp and zeta fan. Keep up ur great work!

[@csblucas]

Believe it or not but I had bets on them to win against NIP and FNC and won £300 , I saw the potential and was really impressed with their Cinderella run regardless of their end result. I hope after last VCT they're able to come back stronger because they didn't look as convincing against LOUD and other teams within their group, especially with the new meta followed by new map pool/changes. Lets see what Valorant 2023 has in store for everyone because last VCT was full of surprises; especially after all the franchising is over! Finally, I honestly have no idea why they decided to remove Split from the map pool it was such a competitive map to watch, but now we have Pearl...

[@ayushmishra1457]

I loved this, your videos keep getting better and better! Just like this, it'd be interesting if you could one day create an analysis on the open bias that is demonstrated by most of the Valorant casters

[@ayushmishra1457]

A bias towards predominantly NA and EU teams whilst pulling down teams from the rest of the world

[@xGuardedHoney53Music]

i have watched every single one of your videos literally i cant stop

[@Qopa]

This is some anime moment right here. Everybody shitting on you, your own region even acknowledging that they're the worst team in the competition, and being blacklisted to scrim with other teams cause they didn't want to. This is like one of those revenge stories in manhwa or something.

Old video but it's hard to improve as a team when you're region opponents aren't the best competition and "rumor" being that some teams didn't want to scrim with them. This run just made them prove they can adapt and learn from their mistakes. Hopefully a better run this VCT if they even make it lol.
