XSET vs OpTic Gaming / VALORANT Champions Tour 2022 - Stage 2 - Masters Copenhagen - Playoffs / Post-Match Thread

BcJ was right

about crashies

Optic feel like the perfect tournament team. They just get better and better with each match. It’s so scary.

Also, BcJ “crashies and I are the best initiators in the world” fried chicken really tried to sneak himself in the convo LMAO

OPTC crashies: What a save!

OPTC crashies: What a save!

OPTC crashies: What a save!

7-0 in rematches is an insane stat. You simply don't beat Optic in the runback

“He got me,” BcJ said of crashies' initiator play on him. "That f***ing crashies boomed me."

BcJ added, “He’s so good at initiator,” repeating it four times.

BcJ then said he wanted to add crashies to the list of players he initiates with this summer.

XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says [stax is] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far."

He got one player right at least

Classic, beat optic for 1st seed then lose to optic in playoffs.

BcJ was a top 10 player this match

"were not gonna be the guard 2.0 I swear guys!!!"

Ah cant wait for the Optic vs Kanye rematch

I was on a plane with my son when we started CRASHING! I immediately ran to the cabin to find none other than XSET! They choked again! Luckily, the flight attendant was OPTIC yay, who was able to land the plane safely. NA's legacy saved again! Shame on you XSET!

The narratives are too strong. OpTic can’t win a map against EMEA, then Kru beats Brazil again, and now OpTic doesn’t lose to the same team twice.

Smh Rito your script is too predictable.

Wait a minute this exact scenario has happened before....oh fuck the green wall is coming

You can tell that some of the XSET players were really nervous. Tunnel visioning so hard to the point where they can't even see the opponent right in front of them.

Well BCJ was at least right about Crashies being one of the best initiators in the world

I genuinely think the shit talk got into BcJ's head, cause this was one of the worst series he's played since Stage 2 playoffs. Forget BcJ, Crashies and stax next for the title of best initiator in the world.

Optic doesn't lose rematches. This was dominant and honestly never really close. Bind could've got really ugly if they didn't throw two anti-ecos.

BORESET and CRYOSAVES were no match! Sad!

I think BcJ had it right, crashies is one of the best initiators in the world. But bro shudnt have tried to sneak the "me" in there as well tho. But he always has his fried chicken joint to fall back on, so all good

hopefully its just xset lan jitters but optic is scary, yay had an off game, everyone else showed up and they still won, imagine that with yay in form and optic wins the whole tourney

bcj and ayrin both at -13 💀

bcj chicken stocks in shambles

XSET's best performance this series was their walkout

As an EMEA fan who only recently became a fan of XSET due to their stature (I am a short king myself), I am so so unbelievably sad at this result.

I would have gone to the amusement park to wash away my sadness, but regrettably neither I nor anyone from XSET clear the height requirement (Dephh doesnt count cuz hes bri*ish), so we'll be crying in the bathtub instead.

the Upper quarterfinals result is exactly the same from stage 1, Riot scriptwriters is getting lazy

Cryo could not in fact, carry the Burnt Chicken Joint to victory.

masters worst match OPTIC vs 2 pro & 3 diamond

Best initiator dropping 16 kills across 2 maps...yeaaaaaah

crashies is a lanimal

The Riot scriptwriters are getting so lazy. This is the exact same story as last season! OpTic look wobbly in group stage, only to turn it around and hit their stride into the playoffs.

What? Are they going to go up against the other favorite in the tournament (FNATIC) in the Upper Finals, lose a close series, only to come back and win the Grand Final in dominate fashion?

Yawn. Get some new plots, Riot.

At least The Guard made Optic work so hard in their match in Iceland. This was just sad.

The doctors thought I was cancer free until I opened youtube chat for this game

XSET about to pull a Guard... Watching TMV mald on Bind was hilarious, though.

XSET lan jitters I guess, but Optic look amazing.

nt from burnt chicken joint

Bcj 137 ACS across both maps 💀💀💀

Bcj best initiator in the world💪💪Ayrin best controller💯💯they shit on drx I swear

XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says [stax is] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far."

Just a complete failure to perform at any level.

U want to give OpTic credit but it is so hard when XSET fumble and flop so many rounds solo peaking, whiffing, over extending, misreading, getting caught with util out etc etc. obscene amount of unforced errors.

Imo this is the weakest any team has looked at Denmark so far, and id even go as far as to say all 5 players looked possibly worst-in-role at the tournament individually.

So how many players does Optic have in the top 3 of their respective roles? Yay top 3 chamber (maybe top 1), Marved top 3 controller (probably top 1), Crashies was definitely top 3 before the Sova nerf and I think there’s a good argument to still have him there, FNS’s gunskill isn’t top 3 for IGLs but his calling is certainly there, and while Victor is certainly not a top 3 duelist, I’d say he’s definitely a top 3 Neon.

Obviously Optic’s a well oiled machine who can beat you with great fundamental and team play but their ability to pull rounds (and sometimes whole maps) out of their asses is insane due to the fact that 4 of them can top frag or pull off crazy 1vX clutches while the last one is probably the best mid round caller in the game.

They still love to shoot themselves in the foot a fair amount, but when Optic is rolling I don’t see many teams beating them.

It’s nice to know when the controller with the get out of jail free card comes out Marved has OpTic on op.

Beaten Jesus Christ

Team diff tbh

Literally same script as Iceland. OpTic start off slow in group stage as NA’s second seed, lose the first match and then just start diffing everyone. If they lose upper bracket final proceed to comeback and win Masters, imma be pissed at Rito.

The OpTic roster are undefeated against NA teams on LAN.

Something tells me Optic has been scrimming PRX

XSET following the riot script. NA #1 seed loses to #2 seed and gets stomped in lower brackets by a “minor” region

Hot take, but I don't think XSET now is better than The Guard in Stage 1. The Guard shut down Optic on Haven and were two rounds away from winning the series at Reykjavik – and defeated Optic at Challengers finals when they were arguably at their peak domestic performance. Optic did not look nearly as good in Stage 2 Challengers as they did in Stage 1, plus multiple members had Covid during the final which clearly affected their performance. Imo, XSET slipped through the cracks and were broadly overestimated. I think they're still a great team who absolutely improved after Stage 1, just not as great as many believe.

If you honestly thought XSET was going to win this game when Optic are 6-0 in revenge games I don't know what to tell you. I'd have bet my house on this game.

NA a one-team region, no kap.

BcJ and Crashies best Initiators World TM

XSET cosplaying The Guard

i've seen this script before

Force buy every round against Optic cuz they can't handle anti-ecos

crashies diff

Well my pick ems is ruined. Thanks Xset. I hope you cosplay as The Guard.

Resident sleeper match

NA vs NA matchup in upper quarterfinals with the 2nd seed beating the 1st seed (in their first international tourney) after losing against them in the region's finals? Never heard that before... Stop reusing scripts rito >:(

Why am I suddenly craving some fried chicken now

Who is BcJ?

Imagine doubting WARDELL

humble kings beating shittalking Sallys we love to see it

I feel bad for Cryo and Zekken, they played well and never trashtalked and are catching strays anyway :(

I don't think we should be so quick to judge Xset right now considering they played the best team in the world for their first LAN match. Let them lose to Leviatan then we can shit on the Guard 2.0

ONLINESET can only win a mickeymouse series when OpTic had Covid. shitters.

top 2 initiators in the world going head to head, incredible game

LCJ

There is nothing better than seeing humble team rolling over a cocky trash talking team

Crashies tech pause buff 2-0

Will xset face drx if optic wins against drx?

Im just here for the fried chicken, keep it coming yall lmfaoooo

The fried chicken guy should be $8 not $2 coz thats the maximum amount of kills he can get per game

i love how everyone is on the XSET are horrible train. I was right all along. people were roasting me but i’m never wrong. Hiko would clap these bozos any day of the week

Yay bottomfrags and the team still stomps

Crashies carries clutches

FNS climbed out of bronze

The final boss for Optic now is to stop getting thriftied (challenge level: impossible)

LAN Jitters Copege

I expected optic to win, but not like this...

Honestly, you would’ve thought that the team that felt like they had a point to prove after Stellar’s “heavy hitters” comment would’ve been smart enough to not spout off a bunch bs that could potentially be used against them as motivation and put unnecessary pressure on themselves. But…I guess not.

Wish it was a closer game. Looking like The Guard all over again

Xset gonna have a tough match vs Leviatan. They didn’t look bad vs DRX. Might be an Xset airport speed run

Crashies was like "Do not ever disrespect our boy Stax like that ever again" and decided to go ham. "Chicken is definitely top 2 pro initiators in the World ... But on the bottom. Crashies on another hand, he deserves his flowers, dude is cracked. Crashies & Marved are some, if not the most consistent players. Praying for LEV to beat XSET so they can go home early. It would suck not seeing dephh, zekken & Cryo go far tho. FNATIC vs PRX & Optic vs DRX? I am not ready for these.

People Hated wardell for speaking truth
