I'm here to remind that caster Zescht invited platchat to a boxing match at Copenhagen at the end of the grand final of the EMEA broadcast
Kurt the all the animations in this episode were top notch and the Wyatt meme vine boom sound had me actually rolling. Great stuff!
agreed!!
Thanks! I always love this positive feedback. (I am not Kurtis, I’m just close with him like that so I can respond on his behalf)
What time code are the vine booms?
We can spot a Red Bull from anywhere 👀
good episode 🙂
Bruh wtf
Plat Chat X Redbull???????
Title sponsor anyone???
Thank you Red Bull Gaming 🥂
Sacy said that Saadhak almost had a burnout at Reykjavik, because when they started practicing against EMEA teams they realized that they were a little behind on meta. So Saadhak spent hours studying the other teams with Loud’s coach apart from scrimming a lot. That’s why i think he didn’t fragged so well as he did in Brazil
Wow brazil realises they aren't the most strategic region and are behind the meta. Must've been surprising
@@kieieiee9343 yeah, and i still think that NA is a good Region on valorant cause all of the CSGO pro players miggrated to Val, since they couldnt win shi on CS.
@@kieieiee9343 you have to remember that Loud was 2 months old and they got to the finals. And NA isnt the best region
@@contosreddit2845 SHEEEEEEEEEEESH

Great episode as always. Also wanted to give props to Kurt(and whoever else is working on it) for the great and improving production value. The production has been great and the move to live streaming has been seemlees from the viewers perspective.
Keep up the great work!
Yeah it's crazy how Kurt didn't miss a beat switching to live tapings
I love vansillis laugh. it sounds like 5 people laughing together! makes it feel like there's a crowd of 12 laughing at everyone's jokes
Loud was a 2 month old team when they played masters iceland. They had 2 maps trained. Its insane
they only had 2 maps trained is complete bullshit bro
Josh and Bren fanboying over PRX is my new fav thing. It's such a hilarious combination of admiration and disbelief, which is honestly very appropriate LMAO
Sacy was criminally underrated, top 21 player for sure
Who is Sacy?? For the blind, is the bald. For the hungry, is the bald. For the sick, is the bald. For the loner, is the bald. For the sad, is the bald. For the reader, is bald. For the prisoner, is the bald. For the poor, is the bald. For the debtor, is the bald.
@@kylevanzeumeren5878 ?
Definitely not in copenhagen
Agree with Josh, Jing not being top 10 is blasphemy.
Nah
Production quality through the roof on the top 10 segment especially kurt, made it so much more enjoyable even on top of a great show!
Also Vans said he wouldnt put any rookies in his top 10 but is ardiis technically an international LAN rookie? I cant think of one hes been to lol
Every pod should begin with "Storytime with Bren". I all for it
love this format of the top players. with the quote and everything. really nice
Top 21 Player:
Picture this. It's a dark, stormy night in Copenhagen Denmark, and FNS is lying in his hotel room shivering away. "I think I'm sick and won't be able to play this event", he says to yay, sleeping beside him, "Hand me that phone." He punches in the numbers and we hear a "rrring, rrring". Cut to Los Angeles, where one gamer is still awake, still grinding, still livestreaming; ready to answer the call. He picks up the phone, "Hi, you need me? I'll be there." Who could it be??
TenZ drops 40 kills per map en route to an Optic victory, and an MVP for the big guy.
Was listening at work and that vibe boom bit had me losing it. Thanks Kurt :)
I really think Wyatt is overvaluing Northeption a lot. I don’t think they are bad by any means, but saying they have a good chance of getting 3rd?!?! They have a chance, I wouldn’t say its a good one though. Prove me wrong Northeption but I just don’t see it happening.
ALSO, Wyatt fails to realize DRX did GOOD at Reykjavik, he’s so quick to shit on Buzz like DRX bombed out of the tournament, they did good! They beat prx and G2, and were undefeated in groups if I’m not mistaken. DRX is REALLY good and has been really good. Love Wyatt but his takes this video were just ehh.
The field is just so much harder than reykjavik, i guess its possible (though i think unlikely) that they can play at a similar level to zeta did at that even, but i dont think thatll be enough to get top 3 here with so many great teams
Almost spat my tea during that match prediction because of Kurt's production lol
Leo in 21st is daylight robbery, this guy gets more kills with shockdarts then bullets he shoots
Vansilli and Bren both had RB IN THE TOP 20 AND NOT MAKO WTF.
MAKO ALWAYS POPS OFF WHILE RB FLOPS. WTF IS THIS
You know what would be a great segment? Platchat reviewing/analysing their latest Boomerants match!
Lmao just realized that they finally allowed loud to have the four letters for the scoreboard and not having to put LLL
+1 on the “Kurt killed it the episode” train
I was literally in tears when wyatts na playoffs predictions popped up
How is Vansilli the actual oracle of Valorant preds?
Love how the Preds were set up!!! Great show :)
Crashies. There isnt that big of a drop off in talent in optic yet he was left off so many lists in comparison to the other 4
Bang average pro
sacy feels pretty underrated by you guys
he doesnt have to do all that much online but pops the absolute fuck off on LAN
Zyppan criminally underrated
I think that Enzo should be in the top 20, he is insane
the cut ins during the preds sent me lmao
Zyppan top 21 super underrated and even without the full team he will pop off
personally I think the guard from the guard is gonna be the 21st player at masters
Davai is going to be top 21 player. Paper Rex is going to turn into a three headed demon this tournament and just roll.
honestly the way they were playing in apac it looked like a 5 headed demon
I panicked because I saw there was a break and I didn’t want to wait through but then I realized I wasn’t watching a live broadcast
What I've learned from this episode is that Suygetsu is the 13th best player in the world.
Most of the podcast is just josh bashing everyone else's opinions. I love it.
I think the same way like josh jinggg is realy underated his Raze is so amazing and he got so much talent
On the flipside of loud potentially not going straight to playoffs, can you imagine if leviatan is immediately top 8 at their first ever international LAN lmao
The way Riot made this is just stupid tbh.. Loud deserves to be in playoffs regardless of how nip plays
Loud is scary but I do feel they have a map pool problem due to Brazil Level
O foda que eles são melhores que os outros times em todos os mapas até mesmo se eles dependerem do individual
@@maestro1757 por isso mesmo que a Loud consequentemente tem problemas de map pool, nenhum time no Brasil força eles ao erro, osso demais. Que bom que eles vão pra franquia
The top 20 lists have got me bricked up
what a good Top 10, the hardest to pick is probably those 6th to 10th place and some changing can be made but this one is acceptable too, im aspas fan, when i saw him at top3 i thought... man who tf is top2 if yay is probably top1? then i saw derke and i just "ah, yeah this guys ok now it makes sense", good rank!
can we have an episode where we pick the hosts and guests for the episode?
That top 10 list is the biggest cap ive ever seen in my entire life
I always tell my barber make me look like wyatt rivers
Crashies is gonna be the top 21st player. He's criminally underrated and one of if not the best initiator players in the world.
I think crashies gets overrated sometimes these days because he used to be one if not the best. These days the top is crowded and he really doesn't stand out that much anymore.
@@LimabeanStudios I think he falls victim to being the perfect role player. He’s so painfully consistent, like Yay, where we are just used to his ability and expect it from him. He isn’t any worse than he used to be, he’s just consistently great. When the moments you expect out of a player of his caliber become the standard because of his consistent success, it makes it look less exciting. He serves as the rock for the team which is currently the most recent international champions- his role cannot be understated. Think of how Xeta seemed to be pretty boring sometimes but the second he leaves C9 they stumble since they are missing such a key piece of their success, regardless of how boring that key can be to watch.
Hes less flashy than last year and seems to have taken a backseat as a more supportive player this year, while marved is now the non-duelist that looks really showy and insane on optic. No less good though
The Guard award had me crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wyatt at 2:26:41 should be an Emote
Im so glad im watching this now after kru won alrdy
The way cyrcocells was locked in during the NA finals I think after Copenhagen he'll move into the 5.
Zexrow underated
I feel like optic is the new sentinels, C9 will be the new optic maybe and xset will do okay
What makes you think C9 is the new Optic? They haven’t looked the same since xeta left.
@@cam7851 they looked good during the end iirc right, you can swap out Mitch for xeta but xeta wasn’t really much in csgo but
Optic is looking good right now so no
@@kiro8125 if NA couldn’t even get out of groups and suddenly they can, when europe basically consolidates all teams in top 4, I don’t know
sacy is grandma the best player on the loud list as he doesn't appear on the list
I think cryo can be that 21st player
crashies' consistency has been criminally underrated here i think he should be 12-16
How the fuck are Jingg & Suygetsu/ardiis not there in top 10
I LOVE BREN.
I think it's crazy how most people consider Optic the clear favourites:
1. Winning Masters a second time in a row is a lot harder than winning the first time.
2. Calling them sole favourites on the back of the a tournament in which EMEA didnt field their best and their 3rd best team is naive.
Not saying that Optic dont have alot going for themselves or that they arent S-tier together with FNTC, Loud and maybe DRX and FPX but to say that they're more favoured than those other teams is pure cap
What? Optic is the only team that you can make a clear argument for being the favorites because they are the only team that has WON anything and shown they can live up to the expectations. Sure, that last tournament didn’t have the best EMEA representation but the competition was still there due to ZETA and PRX’s form being in top shape. I don’t think there is a favorite for the tournament personally, but Optic is the only team this year who has proven their ability on a LAN environment. They have the most data and experience to back up them being the favorites. You can speculate and say FNATIC or FPX are in better form than them currently, but they haven’t proven anything in a LAN environment like Optic have. I think FNATIC could have a higher ceiling than Optic at this event, but the floor for Optic is so insanely high that it warrants them going in as favorites.
@@casey6573 How can you say FNTC and Loud are unproven on lan? Loud literally beat Optic on lan and made the grand final on their FIRST lan! And FNTC obviously didnt have the chance to prove themselves last time without their top 2 player in the world and now they have a new roster anyway. And even then you can argue that they are proven on lan since they already went to a grand final before (that was a long time ago but still the same core of the team)
@@musculusiv4172 Loud isn't unproven on LAN, I said the EMEA teams were. Even then, Loud quite literally proved themselves as SECOND to Optic so it doesn't make a difference: they haven't proved they can win it all, which is what a favorite for a tournament can do. FNATIC may have a similar core, but Alfajer is so integral to the team's success that if he doesn't perform on LAN, considering this is his first time playing on one, the team won't have nearly as much success. So yes, this FNATIC have yet to prove themselves on LAN. What they were a year ago makes no difference since the team's identity has changed so much. You said it yourself: "they didn't have the chance to prove themselves last time without their top 2 player in the world." This time, they do, and it just so happens that their other best player has no experience in a LAN environment whatsoever.
I'm #goloud, but I do see fnatic as favorite to win this masters
2:33:54 nth winning Copenhagen confirmed
how can someone overvalue chamber player when the meta demands chamber to be played lol
Less #9? At the end of the year Less will be the best player in the world imo
I also think that. less and aspas are monsters. And less has been getting better and better each day
Enzo
#21 will be Bren
no skin review wtf
keznt at 20 is gold
vansili is high or a little slow if he thinks victor is better than marved
enzo 21
BCJ top 21 player
I will not stand for this Suygetsu slander
sacy top 21
Sscary
Ma3laa
enzo
Sushiboys
Leo
3-0 🤗🤗
So disrespectful to put out cryo out of top 10,dude has been consistent for xset.
Forsaken is 3rd best player in the world.
NGL Brazil are overrated,just watch their matches no strats only gunfight.
They are nowhere near Fnatic or Optic
Loud win Champions...
SACY PLAYS CS ?
Hope this is taken as honest feedback rather than an issue with Wyatt himself but he needs to talk less when he hosts, I think what Josh is so good at is introducing a topic quickly and throwing it to someone else to give their take whereas Wyatt introduces the topic and then spends way to long giving his own opinion before asking anyone else which makes it feel less like a natural discussion. Just my opinion no hate intended great pod as all ways
The
Bcj is delinquent sacy is way better than him
Hot Take: Yay does not deserve a top 10 spot. He ONLY ever played broken Jett and broken Chamber, unlike Derke, Zekken, Alfajer who can also pop off on more supportive agents or at least entry frag. Yay just heavily gets carried by busted chamber.
This is one of the worst rankings of all time.
