Luckiest pro players to win a major

#1

yawnster

These are some of the pros who won a major trophy out of sheer luck in my humblest truthful opinion

Gambit Redgar (Carried by the rest of GMB and Engh, look at him in GX now)

Bonercold (Carried by prime Cned and Zeek)
Starxo (Carried by prime Cned and Zeek)
Kiles (Carried by prime Cned and Zeek)

Entire roster of Optic at Reykjavik 2022 (No FPX + Chamber era, look at y0y now 😂😂)

Fnatic Boaster at lock in and Tokyo (Carried by 4 mechanical beasts and now that the shooters are in a slump, his igling is getting exposed)

EG c0m (Lurking merchant, whole team is dead and this man will still be lurking through spawn, Carried by Semen1)

EG Boosted (Sheriff Merchant who sucks balls without his hard carry as proved in 100T vs Sentinels)

SEN Zellshit (Vibrator Merchant, by far the worst in terms of mechanical performance in the whole squad and it isn't close)

Im not talking about those two tournaments tho am I.

FPX were the number 1 eu team who could not attend Reykjavik and we all know how FPX destroyed them in the copenhagen.

Therefore it is still a fraudulent win for that tournament

you can't call something fradulent because europeans couldn't make it because of something Europe started.

Tf are you on about. Valorant isn't about politics. If fpx were from any other country and they made it they would've won, that's the fucking point.
No one gives a shit what the reason they couldn't make it was cause the reality is THEY DIDNT MAKE IT ☠️

Ahh yes, the classic “they would have won!!” cope. Unfortunately for you, they didn’t go and therefore did NOT win. Optic will always be the Reykjavik Masters champions, hope this helps!

This logic is dumb.
Did FPX win Champs?
No, so it means they weren’t guaranteed to win.

bro they were not guranteed a win
they've never beaten LOUD so they'd of lost to them if they made grand finals of the event more than likely.
the second best team of the event was G2 which got SIXTH internationally, and FPX were not 5 international spots better than G2

Ngl this list is pretty accurate as to who was carried to a win but I do agree that everyone on this list (apart from maybe kiles) deserves their win

there's no such thing as "carried" in tier 1 imo, metas change, playstyles change, players get outdated but that doesnt necessarily make them bad and lucky to win the trophy that too masters at a certain time.

Still, 2 great players and a serviceable one do not carry 2 terrible players to win champs

in general, nope, outside of like those players being less aspas and saadhak, or extremely rare circumstances
and its very arguable those circumstances were rare
KRU vs GMB felt like the real finals when watching it, GMB were prob burnt out by the end of it
the whole Vivo keyd controversy, and victor shitting the bed
easiest path to the finals in playoffs(X10, C9, FNC >>>> TS & Kru >>>>>> TL)
no double elim

its definitely something you CAN argue

#69

Are you trying to imply Sacy and Pancada were bad players when LOUD won?? I hope I'm understanding wrong

Also you do know at that time TL had owned KRU about a thousand different times they could never beat them. They owned hard that tournament people have only criticized it after because of how hard they fell off, but at the time absolutely no one called it a fluke because at the time they were the best there was (Obiously not player by player)

#70

Frags

no no no im not saying that. Im saying they COULD be able to carry 2 terrible players and win an event, not that they did(i love sacy and pancada).

to me, the eye test said KRU yielded better than TL at champs outside the initial h2h matchup where TL did diff KRU
statistics back this
vs SEN, TL were -6 and KRU were -2 on rounds
in playoffs, KRU were -1 on rounds and TL were -10
this is

Ig you can make that case if you feel like but I just think the time and what has happened after is affecting your perception of how good that Acend team actually was

#72

i mean im only really arguing it as a devil's advocate or for the sake of it (hence "its definitely something you CAN argue") but at the time i thought both KRU and GMB would beat acend

#73

Mortadelo

I think it's actually a pretty common perception to think Acend flukes

i was never arguing whether it was a fluke though was I?

I agree with everything else besides Zellsis. OpTic did get lucky FPX full roster wasn't there but who cares, NA is better.
Zellsis on the other hand helped SEN so much. SEN won Madrid because of Zellsis and Johnqt, don't care what anyone thinks or says. Tenz also stepped up too as well.

back then Acend won that tournament because of team play, you can't say cned and zeek carried that hard. cned played with 0.98 rating in that final, zeek also had bad games. Also, Acend won the tournament because there was not any really good team out there, but win is win so they all deserved.
