laoa
mimi seriously sounded like avast numerous times during this episode haha, wyatt’s segways were on point, balla’s takes we’re goated as always and wilkinson’s malding was hitting. feels great to be back
Damn we need Avast back in the off season, I miss that man
@@brendannn He's been a consistent person on the OW side, I just think the schedule is too hard for him to do both because he has like an actual job with Misfits lmao.
WHERE IS MIMI'S TRAIN SEGMENT KURT
I have no excuses. We should have done one, and I promised, too :(
I want this
As a medical-cannabis user, it’s always been a fun game trying to decipher how much weed Plat Chat smokes. Now the game is ruined. The fun is over
Nay, the fun's just beginning. How much ganja did they consume before a Power Ranking? Will the Egg's mald be enough to spark a fire in multiple senses of the word? Where is Wardell? Probably enjoying a fat rip thanks to code esports or something
who tf cares nigga
Damn time stamp it
1:48:00 god the setup to just have egg mald was almost the best thing this episode LOL
I got a genuine shock the moment he started shouting lol
@@mng7872 LMFAOOOO gave me ptsd from “you fking melons”
i think something worth noting is that prx also had forsaken back on duelist for this run and while forsaken is a very good duelist, during the latter half of pacific he looked like one of the best flex players in the world and i think prx are gonna be even better when they can play with those new roles again
Honestly they could fix Escalation by just putting it on the new TDM Maps
Thanks for that message at the end of the episode sideshow. It means a lot as someone struggling with suicidal ideation to hear that. I will make it through and hopefully so will others.
At the end when they're talking abt the japanese crowd, they mention that thats not how japanese crowds are at other sporting events BUT i personally only know japanese crowds as quiet until they pop off bc i know thats how they are at music events. it's an interesting crossover.
As someone who was there for the riot ONE games, i can confirm that Japanese crowds at valorant events tend to be quiet like those at music concerts too, until they pop off. I attribute that somewhat to the clappers they gave out during the event too though, since it was during the tail end of covid then.
PLAT CHAT IS BACK! LETS GO!
As for masters my only two thoughts are KangKang is the best OP player in the world and that PRX with something can beat FNC
They can’t bruh fnatic clear
was looking for a new bong. thanks plat chat!!
1:52:32 The moment Josh realizes he f*d up
Smoothest add by Wyatt Rivers
i was listening on spotify and it legit took me 15 seconds to figure out if it was an ad or just random segue
Honourable mention for weekly award should be CGRS!
The freeze pipe add killed me LMAO
Alfa plays alot of duelist in comp aswell so it makes sense he just frags out when he needs to. His aim has to be some of the best.
You never feel Sayf when Liquid are in the lead, they are nats a consistent team at all and with some of their strats they should be given a red-gard. Watching this team is soul-crashing and I jam-ponder what they could be under different management.
You never feel Sayf when Liquid are in the lead, they are nats a consistent team at all and should be given a redgard with their emilnently predictable strats, which cauzes their opponents to bacon up easy counters .

@@jwlsiee it was either that or jampiss, you guys got lucky
@@jwlsiee cause that woulda required me to think more 💀
I'm a bit late to this comment but I'm guessing you don't watch alot of emea. I'd say sayf won them alot of close games while nAts just won them rounds. a good example I'd say is tl vs vit on ascent they should of lost that game 100% then sayf just aced a round and I believed he got a 3k the next round to end the game. they seem like a heavy momentum based team once they're confident its over for the opposing team.
@@amaviiii sir, this is a wendy's
as a train and tram enthusiast, and a valo enthusiast, I need more Mimi train takes.
finally, bongalien lives on
balla being a dab guy gets me everytime
I think deadlock is pretty good, I’ve noticed when playing against her in ranked that the wall is actually very good at stalling time and making retakes hard
do you think giving Deadlock’s wall more range could maybe unlock line ups that prohibit enemies from accessing a part of the map early in the round? cus i can see that as being a very valid reason for its ’heaviness’
Now looking back onto this VOD after champs, looking at how high the expectations were from FNC is insane. They were off form in champs, they didn't look as dominant at all. Even as a FNC fan, I really did want them to win, but it was noticeable early in their short run at champs that they weren't nearly as confident or "happy" on stage. They looked stressed out of their minds, and you can't really blame them-with that many people, myself included, saying that they'll go undefeated, they'll start a dynasty, that no one can beat them; the pressure levels are though the roof. Boaster spoke about it in press, playing to win, and playing to not lose, are very very different mind sets, and that affected them massively. Of course they undoubtadely are the team with the best year in VCT history, going almost undefeated in the EMEA season and winning two out of three LANs, and reaching top 4 in champs, but I hope to see them overcome this type of pressure next season.
Platchat back. So happy :)))))))
yooo love my freeze pipe bong! dope ad!!
appreciate the love everyone! ❤❤❤
saadhak has said several times some personal things interfered with their perfomance in tokyo + lots of technical issues unfortunately
I don’t how any team can beat fanatic. They are invincible which kinda makes certain matches to watch boring unless your a fanatic fan ofc
Kj and deadlock is deadly duo
Haha josh looks like the Pringles man
This is the first sponsor activation I will actually use! Thanks Plat Chat, for helping me smoke my weed without coughing!
eggman mald is back. nature is healing
Loved this episode, but to comment on the EDG segment. I've been watching all the chinese champs quals and its exactly like Wyatt said, all these teams look like so close to EDG's style. Trace Esports rn for me is one that stands out insanely, they play map control like EDG, if they play less risky they could be on EDG's level.
can't wait for the next one
The silence at 8:40 is fucking hilariou
tbfh, PRX have f0rsaken and jinggg, both very cracked with their aim and mechanic, d4v41 the cleanup and stable player, and mindfreak which i really think he's better than anyone else in pacific except mako.
Idk about the no pressure attitude being lost. These guys didnt lose under the pressure of being in upper finals where they almost took it to OT on map 3. They got SO much hate all season and have a taste of victory and see they can do it vs everyone. If anything i think theyll trust their strats more and hopefully keep that fun atittude like PRX
came back here because loud vs drx will be happening at champions 2023
I know you guys usually focus on the Esports side of Valorant but I'm curious what your take on the new progression system is.
I absolutely don't like it to a point where I'm playing less Valorant because of it and don't logging every day anymore.
After unlocking Deadlock during the event XP becomes irrelevant and useless unless you own the battlepass.
Every daily / weekly XP goes into the void with no progression. Instead you earn Kingdom credits via the new pip system which not only takes longer to complete every day and are also capped at 10K.
For me at least this is less motivation to play every day since my time isn't valued the same as before.
I'm curious what your thoughts are. Thanks! 🤘
I dont think PRX will win against FNATIC even with Something (and this is speaking from PRX big fan). However it always fun watching PRX plays and I think it will be a very interesting match to watch nonetheless. I hope that they will be able to sort Something's visa for LA
Fnc rely a lot on individual fights and aim so considering prx is the only other team to have 2 to potentially 3 players in the top 6 or 5 global means they'd be the only team in my eyes that could dethrone fnc
never before the tournament started did i think it was stacked. I knew it was gonna be very competitive but stacked definitely not. There were so many new teams that would be able to compete somewhat with the top but no team did I think could match FNC or Loud
Ain't no way we got a weed sponsor on plat chat lmaooooo
i genuinely can’t tell if the bongalien ad is real or not
Twisten
Loud Getting 2nd place curse after Lock In
Mimi's monthly Montrail
In Kurt we trust
with the deadlock recharge i think they dont have it bc it takes a clip and since they nerfed amt of ammo u have, u can run a sage deadlock and u can force them to come in through one spot on both sites or make them waste so much ammo on it, and if it recharges on kills or time u can just stop everything, she deserves a buff to her stun thing and everything else seems good, maybe could do what mimi said and make it able to be used in lineups but just good lord dont make it rechargeable, the game would be scuffed for lower elo imo
SWIFTPLAY AND TDM ARE GOATED
Leo is the best player in the world combined with every aspects
Balla is incorrect actually, ur reaction time does not fall off In Terms of hand eye until ur about 35 years old
I heard Zest needs to go to Military service no?
That Segway to the Ad is legendary
Am I insane or is the cocoon not any better than Raze ult. Yeah you can bank it but not being an instakill makes up for it. I don't see it as problematic.
ur trippin dawg
1000+ :)
I N C R E A S E Mini Wyatt.
No y’all about EG?
Everyone everywhere knows Sideshow
W
No cause you know what pisses me off even more than Zest and Foxy9. Is that DRX JUST DIDNT GET LAKIA? WHO WHEN THEY WERE VISION STRIKERS, WAS ARGUABLY THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ON THE TEAM. LAKIA IS STILL, THE BEST SOVA PLAYER IVE SEEN. LIKE HE WAS LITERALLY THE MVP IN MY EYES FOR DRX AT BOTH BERLIN AND CHAMPS 2021. IT ANGERS ME SO MUCH HOW HE WENT FROM THE TEAM THAT SET A RECORD OF 120-0 MAP WINS, THEN LAKIA IS JUST GONE. IM SO UPSET
Edit. Balla mentions Lakia in this literally as I was typing it LOL
1:12:24 Something special
It kinda feels like they don't believe in EG and the (little) props they gave them in their segment were given because they had to really.
They predicted a big season for eg last year but not this for sure
Going through that segment right now and 100% agree. They haven’t brought up Boostios phenomenal performances, the fact ethan was integral to their success or how they straight up shocked us all because not everyone had them making it out of groups in Tokyo!
This only reinforces that they’re still underdogs going into champs. Which honestly for EG, they’ll take that as a win.
@@Megronamy123 They did bring up Boostios performance though? They said that both him and Jawgemo were playing better than they ever had before (while mentioning that Demon1 had a quieter performance this time around). I also don't think anyone was really shocked that they performed well either: the only reason for the low rankings initially was because Demon1 was said not to be playing, and he was their star player at the time. As soon as people found out he was going to Tokyo everyone assumed EG was going to finish at least top 4 if not top 3 (Loud and FNC were still favorites). You're right about Ethan though, but at the same time they also didn't mention Boasters amazing IGL:ing, and FNC WON the tournament. There's only so much they can fit into an episode after all.
I think it's because of the classic stuff that's happened so many times before, not just in Val but CS mainly. I mean GL went from 2nd place in Paris to getting blown out in the qualifiers of a minor tournament. I think that's why expectations are reserved for miracle runs. Because there isn't enough longevity to back them long term quite yet.
That being said, this is still a pretty under appreciated take from them. I think they probably make it out of groups in Champs but then go out in like 5-6th max.
I hate they saying, not like eg if prx go finals fnatic will bombed out them and will be worst finals. its so stupid to say that while prx 13-5 in lotus and eg got 13-3. they keep calling 12-0 half while forgetting prx did 5-0 on defend and last round was fnatic almost lost. i'm so sure even prx can win atleast 1 map over fnatic with sub. because it was rematch.
14:20 balla’s kinda right tho. I’m dogshit at the game and tdm is like the furthest from a gamemode I’d want to play as can be
Give me a gamemode where everyone is raze and it’s unlimited grenades and satchels only and I’d play that over tdm
YOU ALL ARE FUCKING TRIPPING DEADLOCK HAS THE BEST ULT THIS GAME HAS EVER SCENE
I’m inclined to argue brim ult is just as powerful
Stay doubting EG, see you next grand finals
Envy 2nd place = next event bombed out from berlin
Fnatic 2nd place=Bombed out at the next event
Loud 2nd place at rejkavik and lock in=Bombed out at the next event
Paper rex 2nd place=Bombed out at the next event
Optic 2nd place=Disbanded
Hope you read this since EG got a 2nd place too :).
@@zauxvher538Brother they're on top 3 now, keep doubting, its either EG or PRX who's gonna take the trophy
These guys are so down on DRX but to be fair, they played AMAZINGLY (at the very least top 6 level) against FUT on the final 2 maps. You could see that they actually had setups execs and real adaptation against what FUT were doing to them. The rest of their tournament tho i agree was absolutely abysmal and THE WORST valorant weve seen out of DRX
While id hate to discredit a team's performance I must say the "top" teams per region beside FNC massively underperformed in my opinion. I hope to see them in much better form this coming champs. FNC still look a gap ahead in every aspect.
Loud crashed and burned, but PRX overperformed IMO
not only them the top 5 from lock in played poorly
also liquid massively disappointed me again. They won emea final yep sure. They momentum diffed fnc on the day redgar hitting his shots, soulcas playing well everything green for them. Into Tokyo making silly mistakes, redgar being too ahead of the team/overpeaking in man advantage being thrown off by simple strats it feels like lockin again but this time they atleast won the first game then bomb out.
the top teams fell off but i think the newer teams like eg and prx played at or above the level we expected from those teams, i don't think fnc played against a lower level of competition this tournament or anything
prx have always been good at these event come on now. they ain't new either
Idk i think the upper finals prove that finatic is not untouchable a 13-10 is not enough to prove that their a teir above. The double map ban thing crippled eg and in my opinion is horrible for interesting finals. Whos to say eg are have a fluke run or if this isnt a build up to a new world class team. I definitely think a prx with something or a slightly better eg could take finatic down.
I'm definitely looking forward to Champs, I don't think anyone thinks fnc is untouchable though. I think EG is further away than you think, but PRX with something will simply win it all
I think it's good to give the upper bracket winner an advantage in a double elim bracket and idk what other advantage you could give that wouldn't be worse (I don't think "getting to rest" counts in what I mean by advantage). Double map ban = "crippling" also kinda implies that EG didn't have a deep map pool but I feel like they did, everything except Lotus/Bind was winnable for them on paper (and they even had decent showings on both) and if they won Split we could've gone to 5 maps. As a FNC fan I was honestly pretty scared of EG Ascent and was a little surprised they didn't pick it over Split. I think EG will continue to be great if they can build more mental since it felt like a bit of a mental/experience diff on the Bind comeback, and obv PRX could definitely win
Brotha FNC is untouchable idk how you can this delusional no team is close to their level
@@raezeri I think the winner of the upper finals getting an extra day is plenty enough of an advantage. EG had to play a bo5 at 12 that's pretty much all your going to be able to do in a day meaning you have nearly no prep time for your next match against a team that pro already beat you while you expose your stats over the whole map pool. Given the upper final was so close while the final was a blowout speaks to how impactful fanatics advantage was. I think if you imagine a world where a few things go different on split and eg win. EG would then be able to ban lotus and bind forcing finatic to play pearl and fracture. It's easy to imagine a world where the scoreline is reversed in Egs favour. 3-0 finals are so boring and really sap the momentum of the event. If fanatic are the best team in the world they should still win without needing an extra veto (and they probably would). I think it's just better for entertainment and competition if each team gets a ban.
The double map ban is a big advantage but fair. If eg needs fracture in order to have a chance at winning, then they don't deserve to win. 3-0 grand finals are underwhelming but this isn't a showmatch.
whys balla so fried
wait who the fuck subtitled the whole video?? chad move but its 3 hours long....
wait Something lacks big match experience on the big stage??
You don't know how big the pacific grand finals is?
not only that.
You're fighting not just DRX but pressure from the crowd in fact they were able to go from 2-0 to 2-3 with an epic comeback.
and you keep saying he can't?.
They know how big the pacific grand finals is, pretty sure. Every region has a similar size crowd for VCT stage.
It's still at least 10x crowd size increase. Edit: Apparently they used a bigger stage for the semis and finals so it was still about half the Tokyo finals capacity. I never saw the crowd tho?
If he wasn't a Pacific player they wouldn't have said this.
@@WhiteZet1 you guys don't know what i mean.
not because it's not as grand as tokyo which made the grand final in korea troublesome for PRX.
but the fact that it was in Korea and against the number one team from Korea so every shout of support always goes to drx.
If PRX really goes to the grand final with SOMETHING in Tokyo, at least it can be predicted that Crownd will support PRX more than Fnatic.
and also he played in japan before.
Big match means playing against top teams like fnc loud etc....
sideshow is always hating on prx!
dude, waterpipes sponser xD
How hard is it to say Alfa”J”er. ITS NOT PRONOUNCED as a Y, why do they insist so much on saying it that way. Trying so hard to be “cultured” DX
Plat chat being so reluctant to give credit to the teams that defied their expectations and almost ending their live stream on the notion that Masters Tokyo was a weak tournament where most teams underperformed was such a typical plat chat behavior. My bad I should have seen that coming. 😂
PLAT chat for a reason
I mean lets be real here, DRX and LOUD unmistakably shit the bed, and PRX was playing without their best player. It was definitely a weaker tournament than it should've been. Whether this is long-term, it doesn't matter.
No they're not wrong really.
Liquid and Navi underperformed, LOUD shit the bed and DRX looked completely lost too.
Coming into the event, those 4 teams (+NRG) were touted as the teams that could potentially end Fnatic's reign, and all of them shit the bed
Bad players making fun of pros 💀
wtf is this sponsor
Is no on ever gonna tell Balla to clear his throat. I swear every episode this happens and it's so gross to listen to all he needs to do is clear his throat real quick bruh
Guys literally forgot to put EDG in top 5 though they trashed loud, Navi and T1. Their game with PRX was so close. They deserve a spot in top 5.
