WE LOVE FNS, SO FUNNY AND CHARISMATIC BRING HIM BACK ASAP I THINK HE AND MIMI HAVE A SIMILAR SENSE OF HUMOR AND WOULD GEL WELL ON THE SHOW. LOVE THE STREAM AS ALWAYS
Saadhak and Less had said multiple times on stream that they will try to innovate more because they have qck as a duelist who can play other roles too. One of the reasons saad said as to why they chose to get peu instead of keeping frod is because frod was a bit resistent of the different things saadhak/less were trying to implement on the team. This is all stuff that they all said on interviews/streams, all public shit but in pt-br so i think you guys weren't aware of that
Fnatic has atleast 4 Teams that are actually insane now. Old FPX roster is back, Vitality looks insane, Liquid is up thete, FUT a better contender with Cned
@@21amaterasu51 FUT looks scary man. Honestly Qw1 was rlly good mechanically but he overheated and always seemed so out of sync with everyone else in that team playing defaults which is why FUT had insane aim but weakest util usage in all the champions teams. Now that Cned has come who has experience playing at the highest level and how to win I think FUT is looking much better.
@@21amaterasu51 Eh, of all those teams, only Liquid looks decent to me. And you didn't even mention NAVI, which to me is the closest the coming season to Fnatic.
Back here after NRG placed last after Split 1. I like Puchan and much respect towards him for the amount of trust he had in his former teammates (including Ethan). But after watching numerous of his watchparty vods this year, I think he already had in mind how this team lacks an actual leader, not just in strats but vibe (or a leader figure) to keep the team in check. Bc NRG just seems lost mid way through many of their rounds or 7-8 rounds into the game where they just execute their gameplan without any regard to the actual situation. It feels like Chet has a playbook for set gameplans, Crashies and Ethan can midround, but then when the opponent does not response the way that NRG anticipated or if NRG suddenly lost a key player of the round, how do they carry out the rest of the round based on the info they gathered?
I think killing Skye will make for some more interesting team comps. She should probably get buffed back tho. Bring back the regeneration of abilities just make it really long like 50 seconds.
hard agree w FNS about breeze. hate bringing halls back. it was way too easy to attack. it forces you right back into certain comps again and dbl sentinel will be essential. harbor is offically meta w this change because his wall goes straight up the hallway and his abilities allow you to be mobile and you can re wall. he will be an absolute necessity.
NRG looks so good on paper, but it’s really difficult to see that lineup of players and then no FNS and SOM or YAY. Ethan and DMN1 have MASSIVE shoes to fill. I’d love to hear what everyone has to say about it as in from the team and fns and som. Doesn’t seem like there’s any hard feelings but I don’t think either som or fns are remotely washed.
The LOUD disrespect, FNS u are done for. 😁 But seriously though I feel maybe LOUD are maybe looked down a little too much. Aspas cannot be straight up replaced 1 to 1 but maybe they don't need to even if qck can be as good as some1 like mw or Keznit I feel they can still be a top 2 team.
27:26 All I'm saying is it's not acceptable to have a lot of teams play fewer games per year than NFL teams who play in arguably the most physically demanding league in the world. There are many different ways to format the vct and this one isnt graet (especially with such a long off season where nothing happens)
@@musculusiv4172 It all depends on what you consider physical damand. If you mean brute strength its probably weight lifting, boxing or some other martial art. If you think its running NFL doesnt come close to Australian Football, NFL players run about 2 km per game, while AFL is around 12-14. Also triathlons are even more cardio.
34:10 No, 11 or 13 teams is literally not an excuse for the kickoff format! If they just did a half-split as a qualifier like FNS suggested then there would be no need for such a corrupted bracket!
yea but every year there will be a new team and they stop at 14. next year the team that makes it in NA will still play with g2 who’d be in their second year, and when g2 leaves there will be another another team in their first year
8:29 Paper rex being Paper rex They don't make sense as a team. They take confidence based decisions with some weird badass comps and the team still manages to win. somehow. They are the freaking worst nightmare of an armchair analyst. They never follow any rule they play the game that way the moba crowd hates. Words of wisdom by Bren 😂😂
"This format won't work in the future" Does brother know we can change the schedule to accommodate the number the teams ahead of time. Was actually surprised Rito didn't do that.
He gave the cliff notes version of his point there, in the full vid he went more in depth about how the pr of creating this perfect system that’s only possible now, but not in a couple of years (meaning they’d have to then make it worse), is not something riot would ever want to do. Probably not the best explanation, so if you want a better one watch sideshow’s long ass vid
When do you use all 3 flashes in a round and get value out of all 3? It ain't that crazy of a nerf, there was no reason for her to have an info gathering dog who has the most range of all the drones other than thrash, regenerating flashes, a fucking heal with up to 400hp healing, AND an info gathering ult She's still gonna be used
@@343JustMe She only has 2 flashes, (the third was because it regenerated) and the heal is rarely going to heal more than 100 within a round, plus with the dog changes from the patch before, she is pretty useless now with her info gathering skills being drastically reeled in. Her ult and heal are still decent but were never the reasons you picked her. Another Riot balancing L where they hit everything but the problem and then hit the core issue after nerfing everything else around it, same thing happened with Chamber (his tp) and Jett (with her dash). btw, i didn't even really play Skye but the way they balance this game sometimes baffles me
@@jackbrinkley1809 she has a better drone than sova, she has better flashes than kayo gekko and breach, she has better healing than sage, and she has a pretty mid ult compared to the rest of the initiators. She isn't dead, she's just less viable. I know she only has 2 flashes I main her ☠️, but that's what I'm saying the regen never did that much anyway other than when you're on 1 flash buys. Her dog without even the fact that it jumps is better than the prowler, sova drone, and wingman. The fact that I main Skye and have an 80% winrate with her and I don't even think the changes are substantial should say a lot
For the first time they talked about loud like that actually know what they are talking about. Loud was never Just abou aspas, and they Stills a contender, yeah it's a downgrade but not that much

watch saadhak play raze/entry the entire year for loud
Man, sideshow was cookin with his TenZ crazy omen shit
Nzr can go to any other south american team besides loud and improve them instantly
never forget that ange1 was s1mples first IGL
With 100T watching them was like watching a top team in 2021, definitely did not adapt with the rest of the league in 2023.
