The 5 Brazilian fans who stood up and clapped after Fanatic won have class. Everyone else in the arena who immediately vacated should be ashamed of themselves
The entire tournament made me dislike Brazil as a region based entirely on how the crowd behaved. In the semifinal between Loud and DRX at one point, it showed the Korean fans cheering for DRX after they won a round, and the entire stadium started booing. Its nothing personal to the players from Brazil, but the fan mentality is worse than any other region by far
@@xodyssy Yeah. Despite me having similar feelings, there are really great Brazilian audience members who do genuinely care about other teams than based on their homeland. I just think we unfortunately got a rotten scoopful of them this tournament. Al be it, this would most likely make Riot not want to host in Brazil due to the mostly poor crowd, so they undoubtedly shot themselves in the foot there and it may take a long time to host somewhere else like Rio for example.
@@xodyssy adsnuijdsadashudhauishuashuiasduhasdhuhu ok man, so the fans have to support the drx fans and players and cheer for loud at the same time? grow up bro, the world isnt flowers and happiness, people got a pick a side
@@vital1617 they already announced they loved the crowd and the energy and that they will be back very soon. Belive me, its 1000x better having a one sided crowd than having NA crowds alternating between chantin "lets go (insert team name here) lets go" or the asian ones that just stand there and do nothing
I was there... You have no idea how hot that place was, and it was very difficult to get free water, and very expensive to buy one. If you pay attention, between one match and another everyone leaves the stadium to breathe a little, 32C outside felt like 18C in the air conditioning. During the match, emotions rose a lot, from being sad at the beginning, to being very happy and at the end ending up extremely disappointed. At that moment, all we could feel was the bad stuff, disappointment, heat, it was really hard to keep up the sports spirit and stay there for a minute longer. I participated in the event since the beginning of the omega phase, and I stayed there until the end of most games, we cheered a lot for fnatic in the game versus navi (we liked them), I stayed more than 1h to meet the fnatic team both in the game AGAINST Furia as in the game against NAVI, but in the last game, there were so many variables, I hope you understand :(
I remember when FNC took that timeout at 3-11, the whole arena was booing as though to imply that they had no chance and were simply delaying Brazils celebration and the victory. Was watching a couple of streams, and all the streamers were talking about was either the boos or Boaster's dejected look.Well I don't know what was said in that timeout....but I guess looks can be deceiving cuz whatever happened after was simply brilliant From almost clean sweeping the whole tourney going 11-0 on maps to almost getting reverse swept while getting stomped on the final map... but I guess 'ALMOST' is never enough.We all know how great of a valorant player they are, in fact everyone that participated is, that's a given, but the mental resilience displayed was truly what champions are made of. So happy for the big trio of minijake, boaster and derke from the early days on SUMN FC...... Alfajaer the wonderkid........Leo the MVP of the whole tourney.....and Chronicle the ONE AND ONLY champ champ
This is just nitpicking at this point because Derke has been with the other two for as long as people remember (since 95% of viewers didn't watch SUMN pre-Fnatic), but Derke was picked up post-SUMN. Lowkey he should be made an honorary member though.
I was literally shaking once fnatic started to come back on map 5. so happy for boaster I can't think of anyone more deserving of a trophy. Remember when people were saying Loud NRG was up there for best series yet?
@@demonakoddak3185 I dont agree because acend had very few people rooting for them, everyone I know wanted GMB to win, and acend just kinda stole it away from them, it wasnt hype at all. Besides sentinel's godly run, and maybe FPX qualifying with their sub seider and then going on a lower bracket run, lock in had the most intense storyline and hype event
What a game. Since I came to Valorant and got into it as an esport, I became a fan of Fnatic because at the time they had the most British players of any of the major teams and when I looked into the team I just absolutely loved Boaster. It's probably the most I've supported a team in any esport before. Once the Lotus map went Loud's way, at 2-2, I thought Loud were certainly going to close out map 5. Fnatic undoubtedly were the better team over the tournament, however there's more to huge games like this than who is better in general, it's just as much about mentality. Given Fnatic had not lost a map the whole event before this, then lost 2 in a row in the grand final against the home team with the whole crowd against them and the history of Fnatic falling at the final hurdle, I feared the worst. Then Icebox started and it was all Loud, my fears were playing out before my eyes. And to lose pistol and your force buy to go down 11-3, I don't think anyone thought it was actually possible for them to come back from there. Those pictures of Boaster, that you showed at the start, broke my heart. I said to a friend, who was unable to watch and who I was updating over text, that I could see in Boaster's eyes they didn't have anything in the tank to deal with what was happening. It had crumbled before their eyes. I was wrong. What a comeback, what an astonishing thing to accomplish. What better way to put the Thrownatic joke to bed, than to show that even under the most trying circumstances, when it looks as though the throw has already happened, that this squad can compose themselves, rise to the occasion and flip the script entirely. What an event. What a final. What a game. Can't wait for the season to kick off, this event has shown that Valorant as an esport has a lot to offer going forward and things can only get better.
They were literally kicked out by security, not their fault. And actually, nothing to eat or drink, hot temperature for lots of hours, and their team loses a 11x3 game? No one deserves this
@@marmota7615 I’m not aware of the situation but you could see there were still fnatic supporters and also hear them during the post-match interviews. I understand their situation, it’s not the easiest of cases to be in, however, they couldn’t have stayed maybe 5-10 minutes after to still respect the fantastic performance fnatic had towards the end?
Why are you lying ? LMAO nobody kicked them out. They were salty and sore losers so they left that is all the ending took 10 minutes at most atleast try to pretend to be a decent human being even when your team loses hope riot wont come back to brazil after this
@Marmota Theres not yet any strong source proofing the crowd were kicked out by security after the Grand Final tho. The Riot higher ups in their post match speech was thanking the crowd, it wouldn't make sense to plan that speech while also kicking the crowd before that.
@@marmota7615 then why didn't they use the speakers and microphone to communicate this? Is it even possible for security to go around that entire crowd conveying that info so quick?
Derke: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against LOUD, Icebox, and it was 11-3 to LOUD. We were playing as T. LOUD are CT. And Boaster said, guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now." Teammate: "Did you come back?" Derke: "Of course yes. 14-12."
Alfajer clutch (the video begins with that clip) was so incredible. If Loud perhaps double peeked, one wide one narrow, it could have been a whole different result altogether.
@@Akame4514 I don't think you understand how geometry works, if one of them peeked wide and Alfajer happened to be in a more deep spot that they expected, the guy who widepeek would be isolated and the swing from the other player would be delayed and isolated aswell. Of course Loud did the wrong thing since they peeked with the worst spacing possible (they lined up lmao) but they should have both wide swong and just not line up one in front of another, but of course it's easy to say it from our perspective where we see everything with xray and don't have the pressure of the moment
@@stuffystuff1661 Yeah exactly, with the pressure of the moment it's easy to make these small mistakes, just unlucky and gg for Loud. Also wp for alfajer who played it pretty good
I left when it was 3-11. I saw Fnatic's devastated faces and everyone was saying how it's over for them, there is no way they can come back with destroyed mentals like that. So I left, feeling sad for Fnatic. Then I came back a little while later to make sure who won. When I saw Fnatic holding the trophy I was really confused! I had missed the entire comeback! But it's fine, we can rewatch all of that.
following this game since beta. i have never seen such an amazing match. they had eveything going against them, the crowd booing them, down 11-4. still didnt give up and pulled out what felt like every impact frag they needed. clutched every round but one after they took a time out. truly a spectacle.
Such a well deserve win in my book for fnatic, eventho im not really a fnatic fan but seeing how devastated those toxic brazilian fans after they lost just put a smile on my face. Please be respectful and show some sportsmanship even if u are just a fans.
im not talking about the trashtalk they do cuz every sports need a some trashtalk for it to be spicy. im talking about those who being annoyance when fnatic tries to clutch and booing the fnatic player after they did some crazy play, just look at tarik's stream, u can hear how toxic the crowd are
@@dravourlast1607 tru!! there’s no problem supporting your favourite team like yell as much as you can if that pleases u but the fact that they started booing at the walkouts like man thats just straight up disrespectful. i have watched a valorant event in japan with a crowd much larger than this one and they support the jp teams but also show respect to other non-jp teams like drx prx and fnatic. it’s not the hard to be respectful while showing your support://
how are brazillian fans worse than other fans? I'm not brazillian, I'm from EU. But to me it just seems like NA fans will do something and then, when BR fans do the exact same thing, they get called toxic. All regions seem to be same in terms of toxicity imo.
@@idkidc2573 you didnt see people walking out the stadium from past lan events. brazil crowds are only there when their team is leading, no respect to both teams who played valorant at the highest level of skil for THEIR entertainment for almost 6 hours. hope riot never comes back to that L country
@@Girvo747 Yes they were not literally DEAD but they left in a matter of seconds which is disrespectful af but brazilians are known for that shit so i was expecting it
this game gets me so emotional omfg. Just the fucking roller coaster this script takes you on its just unreal. I was shaking that entire last map like i was in denial they were gonna lose 3-11 and then i was in denial they were gonna comeback.
I was fortunate to see this live, I was shaking and believing in the comeback when derke won the 1v1 against aspas to make it 5 - 11. ggs to both teams it was an insane final
This was the best game I have ever seen in Esports. I'm a Fnatic Fan since Valorant Esports began and I'm so glad they got this. The crowd at the end just dipped completely and the interviews felt kinda wierd with this empty arena. I was really looking forward to the TMV videos on this the second they won this :D
I'm not the biggest comp Val viewer but i'm glad I caught this match on TMV's stream, the chat and the general vibe of the stream made watching it so fantastic
at 6:00, one minute detail that needs clarification is that Chronicle WANTED to stick the plant, but Fnatic's video 5 days later (since this video's upload) said that he couldn't plant because of a bug, which is absolutely unfair and could've easily costed their momentum if Fnatic didn't have quick thinking to push further for kills.
I believe Boaster followed Sun Tzu here “Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: 1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. 2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. 3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. 4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. 5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.” “1” is followed when they just don’t go to the sites where aspas is present. “2” is followed when Boaster comes up with strats for his team and anti-strats for LOUD. “3” is followed always as Boaster always keeps his team’s mental at it’s peak. “4” is followed when Boaster comes up with strats to take LOUD by surprise. “5” is followed when… well idk but i’m pretty sure it gets followed somewhere.
Terrible fans. Don't mind cheering for your team but atleast stay and congratulate thr winners. Fnatic ended up lifting the trophy to basically no crowd. For such a final, that was embarrassing for Riot Games.
Boaster actually talked about it on stream saying he was asking his team to look for the Jett in most rounds since aspas is most likely paired with cauanzin (skye) therefore making it the easier site without the viper wall and molly to delay
Fnc are truly the most annoying team to root for. Whenever I believe in them they just start to lose. The whole tourney I knew they had the potential to win easily but over and over again I felt like I just didn't want to root for them cause I've been disappointed time and time again. So I didn't believe. All the way until the 3rd map against loud and guess what, they lost the 3rd and 4th map and lost all the way to 11-3 on the final map. I threw all hope away I alr accepted they lost, and ofc out of nowhere they bring it back. FNC I just can't deal with u
i know the feeling, im a vision strikers-drx fan,,,and man ive been there with them through their curses and the fake comebacks:’) it is what we have to deal to be a fan and glad im that your team won and hope someday drx could grab a victory too:’)
They took us on a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m glad that it was a difficult win for them because they got to fight their inner demons and prevailed in the FINALS! Yea it was annoying but they became better than ever
Yup. What a rollercoaster ride. I can't imagine what it's like for the players cos it was stressful enough for me watching from home. Even in the earlier rounds where they didn't drop a map, there were plenty of moments where I felt like Fnatic were gonna Fnatic, like the Furia Haven OT or the 100T Icebox near comeback. This squad proved they're different though, even in the most trying times they could find it within them to overcome the moment and play their game. So happy for Boaster to finally taste the glory he's been looking for.
After fnc first game in lockin i knew theyd make it to the finals amd gives the best games in the process. I didnt know much about them prior but every game was almost perfect. Loud is such an insane team as well, so well coordinated and synergised. These had to be the best maps in valorant we've seen so far. It was so fun to watch.
I'm surprised you didn't mention LOUD's force from six or seven rounds up, it seemed like the proper turning point of Loud being desperate to win fast.
I remember someone on call with Sean saying that was the first proper 1v1 Derke had in the tourney. Not sure how accurate it was because I haven’t fact checked it but damn
So many similarities to the 2022 football World Cup final. The roller coaster of emotions. We had Argentina who were 2-0 up similar to Fnatic and then France equalize similar to Loud. And then the match went to penalties similar to how this game went to overtime. It's just a good year for sports. 😌
When the score was 11-3 I left to pick up my GF because it seemed like ggs. When I got back it was 13-12 in OT. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and that I missed the best comeback in valorant's history. Well done FNATIC, holy fuckin shit
Watching this love I noticed they were just taking aspas out of the game entirely. It was insane. He was so hot but they basically iced him by just not letting him play lol so good from fnatic.
@@radlup1045 yeah, it's not L to give hints by sound que, booing the opposite team and not staying for celebration match..cope harder.. just admit that Brazil crowd doesn't have sportsmanship.. their face after the match is just chefs kiss 😘
@@radlup1045 rooting for your own team is great. Booing the other team, manageable even understandable. Chanting "we will kill you" not so cool. Not staying to watch the opponent team lift the trophy as a sign of mutual respect...absolute disgrace. I am sure people like to think it's "passion" but it isn't. It is just temper tantrum.
It was amazing watching this game live, sadly the crowd left after Loud lost. Which is a bit disrespectful personally. But it was really hype and a great series.
Nah fr, this game seemed IMPOSSIBLE. Boaster really looked like he was ready to give up. I have no idea where they pulled the strength from but HOLY SHIT what a tourney. They should hold more single elimination tournaments. They shouldn’t be compared to majors but they provide great content.
tmv you made this tournament special man! was an absolute pleasure. i wanted a loud win for that americas spot, but i cant even be upset after watching this miracle comeback. insane!
One of Fnatic's greatest weakness as a team was if things got scrappy, they didn't know what to do. Any aggressive team could just outfrag them. This squad however has enough firepower to scrap with the best of them.
A fantastic way to kick off franchising, great games all around, and an amazing finish. Sucks that one of the bigger stories was the less-than-favorable actions of the crowd - ESPECIALLY for the grand final - but at least the tournament overall was a good one.
Do you expect any fan of any team of any sport to cheer for the team they're not a fan of, against their home country's team, in their home country? next time just go there and cheer yourself lmao
@@biel1351 The problem was giving away positions by screaming and the lack of respect. Sure the first thing happens to a degree in every event but not this obviously and it's not like you can't stay 15 more minutes at the end instead of leaving instantly. "lmao"
First match of lockin featured an icebox comeback in NRG v KOI just for it to be a FNC icebox comeback v LOUD. Also an EMEA vs Americas to start and end the tournament.
I enjoyed the devastated faces of the loud croud when they lost. I hurt my hand when I think chronicle almost defused because I got super mad. Kept watching tho... L crowd - so happy to see the faces because of my hand and their behavior. I felt sad / sorry for the loud fans that decided to clap for fnatic though
Not to completely repeat what Tarik said, but I was thinking it the whole event. I'm all for the booing but when you don't show respect for the other teams, thats just an L move. I knew what they were going to be like once the crowd was empty for PRX v C9. Brazilians didn't deserve to get this win and I'm so glad it happened the way it did.
@@zackjackson397 I hope the brazilian teams get the love at the next lan which other teams didn't get in brazil. Maybe it'll change after but I kinda doubt it.
I watched this Live and I cursed Loud. I already gave them the victory, and as soon as I said it, Fnatic started to win. I stayed silent as a graveyard to not un-jinx Loud by saying anything else. It was such a wonderful game. My heart could barely take it. I reflexively yelled more than thrice, probably scaring my neighbours. Amazing experience.
i think i was never sweating as much watching a professional game, as i did watching this game. I kinda looked like boaster when it was 3:11 xD and i think, loud would have won, if the crowd started cheering again close to the end. because they heard the crowd becomming silent, imagine them getting loud again and pushing their team. that might have been the bit support loud needed to step up for the last 2 rounds.
14:50 hindsight but if boaster drops his orb knowing that bomb had passed mid already, alfajer likely kills saadhak who was the reason why Loud won that round.
i didn't expect to be so emotionally invested into FNC winning, but after they started playing worse on maps 3 and 4, i just couldn't take it and closed the stream lol. i was like, this is famously the time they choke as they did in previous tourneys. woke up to a 3-2 and couldn't be happy enough for them, well deserved!
