  • The NRG vs LOUD rivalry continues at VCT Lock In as the two faced off against each other in another nail biting series. The old Optic core of FNS, Crashies, and Victor took on the LOUD core of Aspas, Saadhak, and Less again. This was a crazy chess match between the best IGLs in the game right now FNS and Saadhak with amazing strats and calls all game. In a stream after the match, Saadhak is quoted talking about how he almost cried on map 2 (Pearl) and how the game was so hard it "broke his mind". Let's take a closer look and analyze what really went down in that second map.

    Good video keep it up, I think your macro analysis is really genuinely good. Not focusing on holes made by mistake but instead holes made through reads and conditioning. Different than TMV who focuses a lot on team/utility play and misplaying situations in set rounds

    Wonderful video to showcase the genius brain of FNS. Without him, nothing in this team works. He has sacrificed his aiming abilities to give him a massive brain, reading enemies and coordinating a team like no one else, except for Ange1, can. And even there hes (most of the time) superior.

    Love that both teams are so talented and consistent that we can see the full range of each IGL's playbook and adaptations.
    Also shoutouts to Cauanzin being an unexpected demon when the pressure was on. I knew the NRG players were good but cauanzin's performance was insane for the youngest player of the tournament. Cauanzin was one of the top fraggers of the tournament despite playing support initiators like breach and skye the entire time, putting up stats comparable to Derke, Cned, and Cryocells.
    He gave loud a bunch of rounds off nearly unwinnable clutches in both the NRG and Fnatic sets.

    Love to see Saadhak v Boaster finals - How FNATIC 3-0'd Na'Vi (who I thought wouldn't loose a map), 13-11 Haven/Fracture - How DRX almost reverse swept Loud - so basically semi-finals & finals LOL. A truly fantastic video and breakdown. Seeing Valorant through the perspective of a grandmaster chess match is like watching it for the first time and being on the edge of my seat once again. Yet, this time, brains are doing all the firing. Hours of analyzation went into making this video and the gaming community thanks you for dedication. Well Played.

    • @alexisx4368
      @alexisx4368 Рік тому +3

      Agree. IGLs shouldn't have to put up great numbers - their job is to set their "stars" up for success and make sure they get value out of every round. There are exceptions but generally, IGLs are not playing duelists. His clutch moments and the fact that every team he's been on has done well under his leadership is enough proof that FNS is one of the best IGLS around.

      If you are knowledgeable about your opponents movements you will always have an advantage in game. It doesn’t make it easier knowing your opponent will make a smart move, and knowing your shit will make it easier to punish scrubs. If you have 4 teammates in tune with eachother, it’s even easier to figure out your opponents in a pub stomp compared to a fucking championship game.

    Great video but either the pacing was too fast or I’m just slow. If you do more of these (please do), could you refer to players as the agents their playing as or something like that? Or at least say offense/t and defense/ct instead of team names with the player names. Going between aspess, N R G and F N S for example was confusing. I also want to mention that it has less to do with your narration and more to do with what’s going on on screen. The spectator hurts my head in a lot of VCT games🤕
