as Boaster once said last year in their comms video: "Boys, lets play like DRX not PRX".

[@sunshineken4062]

I really love valorant championship so much because there's no teams dominating so much yet which means there's constant evolution of strategies that seems limitless and makes a very fun and entertaining battle between teams. New strat, counters -strat, making unique plays and you'd be in awe every time

[@justsomedude759]

I would say the biggest issue is that since they aren't used to playing fast, they tend to overcook things. They do a lot of unnecessary things which put them at a disadvantage. Furthermore, whilst they do fight together more, when they're aggressive style isn't working, a lot of it is down to disconnect between the players. Split is a good starting point because it is a map where even a lot of slow teams tend to play fast. This is mainly because of how small the map is and how quick the rotations can come in.

[@tekstego9654]

i think you should've also shown some rounds where fnc push down mid with 3 on split and just catch their opponents of guard, i think last years fnc would 've never done this, and i think they are also trying to fight more as a team. examples are the rounds they push down mid. also picking that comp on split over the typical meta comp is something teams should do on all map, find a comp that works for them and roll with it, ofc dont go overboard with it, but something like prx are doing on lotus, swapping out viper for jett, is it technically a worse comp? yes definitley. But they are more comfortable playing that comp, i think its time for teams to not completely conform to the meta, but using the agents that the players are more comfortable on vs the more meta agents

[@alexwyffels9788]

Off Meta comps also have the advantage that your opponents won't have much experience playing against it. Sure they can try and exploit your weaknesses by anti-stratting but that also requires them to adapt their playstyle just for one opponent and not every team is able to pull that off successfully.

[@comfiess]

People STILL upset over Boaster's Madrid comment are grasping at straws to send hate to Boaster and the whole team. Why would he say "yea my team would lose to these guys"??? That's HIS TEAM. It doesn't make sense. It was some while ago as well. It's time to move on and stop spreading so much hate and negativity in general.

@@zir456 ​Did you happen to watch the whole section of the video where he explains it or just a Twitter clip? From what I saw and heard, he kept it respectful and even said that he wouldn't be a great competitor if he didn't believe his team would beat all the others, which is very valid.

[@cigarafterkiss]

[@literallyabigfan]

that's just boaster being confident about his team to be honest, most teams do the same thing too yet they don't get the hate boaster receives.

Sure when Boaster says they can beat everyone it's just hyping up his team but when guys like Boostio do it it's cocky. The double standard is insane.

Good video. Actually gave me a new perspective on fnatic

[@alexchen2519]

I wonder if Fnatic's confidence issues is compounding their gameplay issues in being too passive. Right now, teams recognise that if they don't give fnatic an opening and out-passive them, then Fnatic crumble in rushed executes. If Fnatic is not confident then they're a lot less likely to take risks and make proactive play, They need to go back to good set plays on attack that they can rely on, and throw in slow contact/default rounds as a mixup rather than relying on these every time. Right now the fast rounds seem to be what they use to catch people off and those seem very poorly prepped.

After Boaster's comments about the level of play in Madrid being low, they kinda deserved their karma.

Those 5 teams managed to maintain their top form heading into Shanghai.

Jeez, that was months ago and he did beat Heretics in the end to achieve top 1 in the region. On the other hand, you have Boostio calling everyone pigs and if he loses, doesn't get anywhere near the hate Boaster does.

[@bastidota]

@@speedforce8970 I don't see that as a problem, if the player's sick that's just unfortunate. You can't get a 100% ideal condition every match. Sometimes players are sick, or equipment problems, or crowd issues, etc. But to disregard their effort just because one of the players is not 100% healthy is a disgrace to the said player who tried really hard and gave their 100% to win.

[@SuperGamerzchannel]

If they were just not winning events this year, I'd agree. But the pedigree of FNATIC's players are too good to be 8-7. FNC is currently 4th best in EMEA right now, and likely won't be returning to top of the region until next year realistically.

[@RWBYSanctum]

If you chat shit like "we would have beaten every team at Madrid", you better be able to back it up when the time comes. Fnatic not only failed to do so, but also completely shat the bed to Gen G and FUT, a team by all accounts they should have beat. Are they a bad team? No. But are people right to flame them for chatting shit? I mean, they brought it on themselves. They shouldnt get a free pass just because you support them

Did I say it was wrong? I just said if you want to be so publicly confident, you better back it up when it matters lol. If f0rsaken said we are the best in the world and PRX pulled the same results they did in Shanghai, I would criticise him despite being a fan. Boaster can be confident, but if he and Fnatic can't back it up when it matters, then he's asking to get flamed. It's like Boostio and Demon1
