Sorry to keep you waiting! Enjoy and like the vid ❤️
Was rooting for LOUD but after seeing crowd i was hoping for fnatic to win.
ALWAYS FNATIC
Wow, I was expecting the Furia game before the finals, I wanna hear the confusion from viper harbor on haven
Thanks for uploading!
@@Bearasdfhjkl whats the problem with a crowd that support their native team? 😅
In psychology there's something called the anchoring technique. It's used when someone has a panic attack and asks the subject to focus on specific things to calm the mind. (For example, can you name 5 things in the room you can see or name 3 things you could touch right now.) Fnatic's coach Mini litterally uses this technique during the 3-11 score to prevent his team from having a panic attack (No wonder when you are losing after being 2 maps up). He asks the team how many ults the enemy has, what abilities they uses and to focus on things you can communicate. It's amazing to see how he anchored the team and mentally got them focuses again. No strats, no screaming, no panic just absolute class from Mini!
Are you a psychologist
That's why coachs are so important

a few seconds later: "Haha Leo u look dead mate"
I feel like he wasn't sad but very focused on some kind of a plan in his head
But the loud fans faces at the end were 👌
Chronicle going absolutely nuts after Alfa's clutch and going "chill guys, chill" afterwards had me dying

"Don't shake the stage please.. Whenever I feel this I'm thinking it's earthquake bro.." my heart broke..

@@sonatine3266 alfa is not the best sentinel in the game. I would argue nAts or Suygetsu are better sentinels. Alfajer is a duelist player btw he just had a role swap to sentinel after the roster change. Hes doing good tho.
Mini reframing the last half of Icebox as a scrim and getting the boys to focus on comms made a huge impact. You can hear it in the 2nd half how much better the calls were and how much the talking stepped it up.
Or them starting to win rounds did that……
@@bisk1407 they won rounds because of that.
@@bisk1407 you clearly don't understand how comms work
@@rick1803 well neither do u tbh.
my bf said it in the match. I was like holy its gg - the timeout or whatever happened and they started winning and then my bf said 'its a coach diff, their coach told them to play confident and focus less on the fact that its the finals' which is almost exactly what mini said in different words XD. Thats the impact of a good coach. Edit: also how calm he was to stabilise them, actually so good. breaking shit down and keeping them focused
The fact that Alfa doesn't like the stage vibrations because it remembers him of earthquake is heartbreaking

Definitely gutted me. However the kid's a legend in the making, he's got everything to become one of the best VAL players of all time. If he does so, I'm pretty confident he will become an influential voice for the Turkish community.
I am a Japanese fnatic fan. This victory has moved many Japanese fans. Especially, the comeback in Icebox was so amazing that my eyes jumped out of my head. Congratulations on your long-awaited world championship. I will continue to support you. ps. I'll be waiting for you in Japan!
Endless respect for the japanese fans who stay up till 6am to watch matches of other teams
You're a LEGEND gentlemen ❤
You called it mate
common W for japan
And they won in Japan tooo!
I'm sorry to say but this Brazilian crowd is f-king terrible. Just here again after the Masters 2023 and now you guys know what makes Japan so different. All the teams that played in jp reiterated how the Japanese crowd cheered on for both teams and were respectful to all the members of the VCT. Love you, Japan. Thanks for treating this team and everyone else just like they deserve. No matter what, every team puts in their efforts and cheering them on for that is the least that we can do as the audience. Vamos, FNC! 🖤🧡🖤
I hope you mark this victory for all of your life. Cause it will be the only one

@@LoresIIonly one ? they just won Tokyo Master and Loud lost against KangKang 😂
@@thanhphitran3500I think he was talking about LOUD?
I agree with you. But at the same time i fell that i'm talking shit abou myself 😰
Leo amd Chronicle are such good additions to the team and I loved how Chronicle kept calming everyone down. Leo just looks like he doesnt give a shit but hes soooo good
Leo is an actual stoic, I wish I could be as nonchalant as him 😂
@@pprlz dude it’s crazy. Like even after alfas insane 1v2 every went fking crazy and he just smiled and gave fist bump lmao. I was kinda rooting for loud watching this series but even I freaked the fk out for that clutch.
I guess it’s not that he doesn’t give a fk, he’s probably feeling the same amount of adrenaline as his team He’s just quiet naturally and introverted I think
U need a player like Leo who's Lazer focused. When he says "everyone can see" He thinks everyone has his level of awareness
yea at first i thought leo was "bad" in a way he wasnt hyping out with the team but then i realise a team also needs a sort of calm and nonchalant player to balance it out. my mistake
These six dudes just proved that when the entire world is against you, booing you, cheering at your loss, the only ones who will who will support you to the highest at your absolute lowest, even when they're in that same spot, is your team, your best friends, your little family.
speech 100
six? i assume its the coach
@@Siscerto yup mini was just as important.
@@irfaanfarhat yeah fr mini stopped the team having a panic attack when it was 11-3
Even when the luck is not on your side like the spike plant glitch then also they overcame it
"Together now" if that just doesn't sum up how Fnatic have been as a team this entire time. Kudos. Much love and congratulations on the win.
31:16 The way Boaster turned around to his partner right away after they secured the win is a tearjerker, for me it's like saying "thank you for being here with me".
Everyone is talking about the comeback but can we talk about how coldblooded Leo is? This man was not even phased by the pressure and still dropped numbers. Straight up on demon time
Literal ice in his veins. It’s crazy watching how calm he is throughout this whole thing compared to his teammates
"the promised prince of valorant"
He’s just chill
He’s so chill I wonder what’s going on in his mind lol

my man, how you have no replies? lemme fix that!!!
shutup likes farmer
I was thinking its all boaster talking but i was dead wrong! Derke and Alfi doing so much work and hyping when Boaster was down. This is team right here!!
they allow boaster to focus more on individual rounds and strategy, while derke and alfa helps in boosting teams mental. a perfect team if i may say so
Mini jake had the goat reset speech at half forsure
Yeah and chronicle can chill down everyone if needed and leo just unfazed as always😂
Derke absolutely CARRIED the team's mental, insane performance
100% They all looked kind of dead other than him mostly Leo and Chronicle looked like they gave up
Yeah. He was their mental backbone, especially on icebox.
Definitely! Man deserves mad props.
@@kingdj3036 yeah but to be fair you cant really tell much by their facial expressions during matches cause they just have pokerface all the time

Love that Derke kept the morale up. Telling the guys to hype up and also telling them to discipline him if he was messing up. Gotta love someone on the team who can do all that and still be your tip of the spear
The Derke of the old days would have probably lost. But he has matured so damn much as a player.

Bro I'm not even a FNATIC fan but this made me teary eyed. Very well deserved win. This is the most legendary match in E-Sport history. Guess I'm a fan now.
I guess you don’t watch a lot of esports but it was very good tho
Im a loud fan, but that comeback was epic.
Lol go watch Dota2 OG vs LGD, The International grand finals series
Cloud9- Faze Major 2018 map3 inferno in finals :o

dude, I'm not even kidding but, I cried so bad in this video. Their comeback, story, and sheer motivation to win the tournament is just inspiring. What an amazing journey for FNATIC, and a well deserved win. Congrats guys! P.S. Much love to the editors, you did an amazing job as well!
Derke telling everyone to scream at him for comms is just so funny 😂 It was a stressful situation and i totally understand. I just really love how their personalities match! This team is just amazing and I know they will be hard to beat throughout. I’m saying this as a 100T fan 😂 When I learned that they will be in the same bracket I knew they were gonna lose. Congrats again!! Good mental and Mini with that last advice in icebox is amazing❤
28:22 I love how Alfajer covers his mouth and nose so he doesn't make any sound while breathing and let boaster focus
nah Alfa knew Boaster lost the round when he started walking into the open, or at least it was risky play against 2
not only that but probably to block out any crowd noise from his side
@@joshapp6065I feel like it was more to not let Boaster hear his breathing since like right after the plant you can hear a heavy gust of air from someone’s mic
They got pedals for push to talk.
@@OneStepJohnny half the comms are "move your mic away from your mouth alfa"....
Not a fan, but got me teary-eyed at the end . Well played guys, you really deserve the win.
Honestly, even 11 months later, this team still gives me goosebumps with how good they really are!!!
same bro i have watched this match so many times it's inspiring not only virtually but in real life too
Glad to see other people besides me are still rewatching this vid even a year later. Still the best match in Valorant history imo. The mental strength required for that comeback is unreal. FNC have a big year ahead of them!
Funny how when Boaster had the judge on split, the crowd actually worked against Loud by giving him the idea the Loud players were close
LLL CROWD
Funny how zika microcephalic braindead haters think that the crowd "cheats" goes both ways HAHAHAHHAHA
Bronze Crowd

that’s what a npc would think
ngl I've never cried for a sports game or any game, but this hit the spot. The part where Boaster looked at his partner before winning. This is a movie, you can't convince me otherwise. Love this!!
Leo’s face win lose just is priceless you can see the determination but also he just knows he’s better lol
still get chills watching these sort of comms mini is one of the best coaches ive ever seen heard and the calmness in him absolutely unshakable
When it was a 5v1 at 13-12 Boaster looking back at yinsu and Derke's smile. the relief knowing they had finally won a trophy. Glad to have my pickems be correct. Knew the boys were gonna win this.
feels like anime lol, looking at the flashback for a second
nah but imagine aspas actually won that 1v5…

so good to see derke improve on his mental and develop into more of a secondary leadership figure. from being one of the first to tilt in matches in 2022 to being the guy who pulled his team back into 3-11 game with his words and resilience, he sure has improved a lot. was always the best in the world with the mechanics!
I cant stop watching the comeback clips.. Im just so happy, that fnatic, that ive been rooting for 2 years has finally made it!!! Awesome team guys! May victory is bestowed upon Fnatic team for the next competitions, BECAUSE THIS IS FNATIC'S ERA BOYYSSS

GOOOD JOOOB, man it was so tense, one of THE BEST comebacks in one of the BEST esports games I've seen, really happy that their effort came thru. HUGE W, congrats!!
11:33, unironically the coolest shit I’ve seen in vct
Derke's mental is one of the best things in this video. He was hyping the team till the very end. It was quite excellent to watch.
I watched this match so many times! I stayed up all night watching this, it was the most stressful match I’ve watched in my life. I cried seeing boaster and derke finally lifting the trophy. 😭 I’m so so so happy
You can see how scared they were of Aspas ! What a legendary match . I cried when I saw boaster looking at yinsu
Comms show how valuable Derke truly is. What a performance on Icebox
When it was 3-11 I was at work, taking orders. I said to myself if I make an entire order and not look at the match until I finish, they would win the round. I was so happy it kept working but I know that it didn’t help at all with the game. Either way CONGRATS GUYS ❤
fs it helped it was canon
hahaha i like how nervous they were ( which is completely understandable) but in icebox in the overtime one said "they dont have ults" 🤣 it was kinda funny to hear it
Derke just try to make sure they all think positive 🤣even he want Leo to scream
last round in icebox was just a piece of art .. that was so god damn good i got chills of that teamwork plays and callouts holy that was so nice to watch
I started watching FNATIC when i was 11, it was them playing comp paladins, those were the days, now im 18 and am still watching them, i cant wait to see where they go, favorite team hands down

boaster using the crowd noise to his advantage is such a 5 head thing to see. knowing that he's the only one close to an actual engagement and shooting 3 random judge shot, killing one and falling back, thats some beautiful game sense right there.
Watching live I wondered why he shot... Now I know! ^^
LMAOO Brazilian crowd got the taste of their own medicine

how using the crowd noise? someone explain?
@@legendaryofthesea3920 people in the crowd are chanting whenever someone enters the plant and anticipates a kill, therefore Boaster used it to his advantage and killed an enemy entering a plant
im brazilian and that was the greatest grand final i have ever seen in valorant, good job guys :))
thank you for giving us the ENTIRE last round, that was beautiful
the 5 man crowd for themselves was amazing! well deserved win for sure
23:34 Boaster said seconds after him looking the same as Leo 😂 Congrats FNC! Boaster and Derke are finally crowned. When everyone was cheering for Sentinels in the first LAN, I was that one crushed FNC fan. More trophies to come 🫶
if i was 30 years older, i might have died to an heart attack with your comeback on icebox. in germany we say, i was sweating like a pig :D
I so love this match! Fnatic really really deserves to win! After watching this, still feels happy and teary over here! 🤧🤗🤗
Derke on Icebox proving he's a special player a very special player
This team is just full of character. Alfa is there cracking jokes that nobody understands because of his broken English, Boaster doing megamind shit running his team and keeping the spirit up, Chronicle is always there to swear in Russian, Derke knows others are looking up to him so he is always motivating them and finally Leo is just there sitting in complete silence even after getting insane clutches
I am a fan of Derke. If Derke has millions of fans, I am one of them. If Derke has tens of fans, I am one of them. If Derke has one fan, I am that fan. If Derke has no fans, I no longer walk upon this world.
They dug deep and pulled some magical moments to comeback in what felt like a lost game and an inevitable reverse sweep. It takes serious guts to do that in a brazil against Loud. Coming from an NA fan, I have nothing but respect for this squad, what a memorable final, can't wait the rest of the year of VCT.
This Series is the greatest matchup of Teams and biggest emotional Ups and Downs in Valorant. (so far)
Lets Go Fanatic!
This win became more significant than it already is just because of how long it took, so many losses yet they still kept going. What a hell of a journey!! Super proud of fnatic.
damn everytime i watch this vid i cry like a baby man, this game was a rollercoaster of emotions and i love that you guys won it!
still watching this every time I get the chance, by far the greatest valorant finals ever
31:40 their coaching staff introducing a breathing technique to stay calm is such a top tier decision holy shit.
mini just always full calm and i think it is 1 of the most important thing for coach its very important to calm down your team. 1 of the best coaches ever
Most emotional video I have watched in a long time, I absolutely love all of you
this video brought tears to my eyes! I wish all of you the best in everything you all do even if it isnt related to valorant! absolutely fantastic matches and most insane comeback I've ever seen
These VC Comms truly show that its not just a battle of strategy, skill and teamwork, but also a mental one.
3:00 savage Leo
I have a deep depression these times, it's hard to keep the head out of water and all this troubles in my mind, but when i watch this wonderful Fnatic team, it gives me courage to fight against my own demons, that shows me even everything seems to be lost, holding hope, continue to fight, giving us a chance to win and even further trust one another is the biggest weapons to fight monster in our minds and achieve the hardest goals in life. Thanks to Fnatic valorant team to be so much good human beings ❤
I have never seen a more deserved trophy win than this one, i watched this for the 10th time now, its like your favorite movie. No matter how often youve seen it, i will do it again and again and again and again
ur so me
So happy for the boys! That icebox win is the greatest comeback I've seen!
dude Derke holy shit hes like the 2nd IGL making sure the team stays together mentally when Boasters down
It gave me goosebumps! Thank you for that nail-biting and inspiring series.
Unbelievable Match!! I was literally hopeless when i saw 3-11. But, Fnatic has the amazing spirit and some miracle happened. This is the best match and game on the VCT History. Congrats Fnatic!!
