I'm so happy for Optic, they've gone so far. After the 3-0 against Gambit on Masters 3, placing 9-12th on Champions, and fighting tooth and nail in this Masters they raised the Champions Trophy and became the first winner of VCT Masters Stage 2022. All the best to Optic and NA Valorant scene, cheers for Masters 2 and Champions.

One interesting thing about optic is they won against every team they lost against in the past month. They took revenge against guard, xerxia, and loud.

stellar analysis. i like how you emphasized OpTic's map control especially in this map

[@duhhjosh23]

I genuinely have enjoyed your analysis across Masters! I have a hard time catching these micro-actions watching it live and it's cool to have someone break it down for us. Can't wait to tune into more valorant analysis in the future :)

[@babusseus1105]

A time capsule of how insanely strong chamber was back then. Two beacons with short cooldowns, 2 traps with infinite range and double the fire rate on the tour de force.

If NA grinds seriously they could be the top region. Congrats Optic from EU, was always a team that I liked.

Optic working so hard they may as well be from eu

[@jcgocrazy]

@@Sugarist0 seriously though. They aren’t very popular here in NA, because we value style> substance unfortunately.

[@Pulsyyyy]

@@jcgocrazy from someone who is apac EMEA was looking so hot but fnatic had 2 subs and the top seed fpx couldn't even play bcz they needed to replace 3 of their players also fpx eliminated gambit the strongest team from eu if gambit or fpx were in it it could've crazy but optic played really well the reason not alot of people look at them at NA is bcz they are tactical and hardworking and consistent not flashy and streaming more for 8 hours like other teams from NA sand guard was flashy af and not so consistent that's why people like that but when ur on lan against better team clutches are just harder u can't rely on them Marved did clutch tho but those were smart clutches not so aim reliant

Anyone who says Optic needs to bench FNS needs to watch this video. Maybe Chet has an amazing strat book, but so many of these plays are mid round adjustments made by FNS. Without him I don't think Optic would be nearly as good.

[@Corroderptor]

Hey, big fan of your channel, watched daily for one or two months now and I can imagine how little you have to work with when there’s no challengers/masters going on. In case you need ideas, maybe you could have some weapon showcase videos and review patch histories/pro play buy circumstances/even their CS:GO counterparts and their competitive history as well.

[@der_fischie]

Bro your videos are so good

[@goodguydynamitegaming387]

Can you do the bind round where they took tp and pivoted back to the site where they already commited vipers pit to before tp and they ran back confusing loud

[@VardhanShrivastava]

That whole round was hilarious to watch 🤣

[@goodguydynamitegaming387]

@@VardhanShrivastava that was actually a great call because they pulled out the rotations anddd didn’t give up space + they basically caught loud off gaurd and managed to take the site on a player disadvantage committing i guess 2 major ultimates (vipers pit and showstopper) that is what happens when you let daddy fns call

[@thelordp9014]

What round was this?

[@hoowang9962]

@@goodguydynamitegaming387 I can only confidently say they must have practiced this before lol. If Marved threw the stimulus earlier and was able to boost FNS they would've had the viper ult to play with as well well

@@goodguydynamitegaming387 I'm in full agreement but it was till funny seeing them just take a U TURN through tp like that... Only if the pit survived it would have been cherry on the top.

what are ur thoughts on the next agent? do you think she's balanced, op, do u think its gonna change how the game is played right now?

noone can say anything about her rn! every agent is good(w/o pnx🥸) . u just need to figure out how to use that agent & make plays with that . For example skye.She is such a good initiator but took long time for coming in pro plays

Them having their TWO MAIN MAPS split and fracture banned outright, and then closing on a Perma Ban map breeze... Wow. This win was better objectively than SEN win in 2021. (no hate) After watching your analysis, damn it OPTIC played Breeze like they are on SPLIT 😂😂😂

[@caiusthue9606]

definitely feels like it. 2021 sentinels basically just aim diffed everyone, wihtout being pushed tactically that much

[@VardhanShrivastava]

@@caiusthue9606 oh blv me you. FNC did put up hell of a fight, tactics an all, but the meta was so much raw back then. Almost bruteforce aim and what not. This time around, the ability play was *chef's kiss* 🤌

It was an amazing win but I think Sentinels not losing a single map made their victory a bit better.

[@jcgocrazy]

@@thomascansino Copium to say they win 100% and heres why 1. M3C didn’t even qualify so why are they in this convo. They lost to G2 who preformed terribly 2. I’ll agree that FPX not making it is unfortunate, but theres no way you can say they win 100%. G2 was able to take maps off of FPX but couldn’t against LOUD and PRX. PRX lost to Zeta who got 3-0 by Optic. My point is this last tournament showed us the unpredictability of Valorant. TGUARD looked amazing against Optic, especially before but terrible against PRX. Zeta(from the previously worst division) made top 3. I will agree that they would have had a better showing than we saw from EMEA this time around. First region out while having the most slots is disappointing with or without substitute teams

Why? I mean NA is tough sure, and making it through masters is also, but they've proven to be not only one of the best teams at preparing, or even mid-game adjustments, but also at mid round adjustments. The last 2 matches especially, FNS read both teams like a book.

Because?

[@eclipzz8140]

@@SuperGamerzchannel Optic thrive from individual performances sometimes that can’t be relied on, like in the XERXIA game. They also don’t seem dominant as a team, like sentinels were, so I really can’t see them getting close again.
