Fnatic beat TH in finals too, are we gonna argue FNC > TH?
FPX was better than EDG all split and choked the finals, it cost them this event but they were absolutely a much better team than EDG this event.

FPX > EDG
TH > FNC
GEN > PRX

regional titles are worthless?
or skipping group stage is bad for form?

weird thing about this masters is everyone seems to agree in every region that the regional results were scuffed

CN fans say FPX should've won the finals
EMEA fans say NAVI should've been here
APAC fans say DRX should've been here
some NA fans (not all) were saying SEN/KRU would do better than G2/LEV, G2 proving them wrong but LEV definitely shit the bed

saw this crazy stat on reddit

Madrid - 5-13 vs GEN
Madrid - 6-13 vs GEN
Madrid - 2-13 vs LOUD
Madrid - 3-13 vs LOUD
Shanghai - 6-13 vs TH
Shanghai - 3-13 vs TH

they are cooked 💀

fpx is better than both

wym one game fpx beat edg twice in china and only lost finals?

fpx played this same team that's slapping edg around right now and almost won, while EDG is on pace lose 6 international maps in a row with sub-7 rounds each loss.

can we admit FPX deserved to be first seed and EDG fluked finals now
FPX unironically could be like a top 6 team and got unlucky to play GEN/TH in swiss

definitely better that FUT at least LOL

FPX should be here ong

why we have to sit here and watch FUT play instead of FPX 😭

FPX closer series vs GEN, FPX beat FUT
LEV clowned on by GEN and getting embarrassed by FUT

Before

Can you uh... name the esports you've watched where China is part of pacific? In League, Dota, Valorant, and even OW, China is it's own region. The biggest ones have China as its own region, generally speaking.

NAVI losing to a Chinese team in the 2nd event of the year

you can see shanghai stats on this link (no its not a virus relax)
idk if mods can edit the match pages or w/e to put the missing stats in

FPX will win China.

what is this clown sayin 😭
bro is fighting his ghosts 😭

no knight and 369

This bracket is ideal for a double elim format. Guarantees upper finals and lower semis are inter-regional. If it was APAC vs NA both matches and one region clears the other, then upper finals and lower semis are regional matches which would be significantly more boring than round 1 matches being regional matches.

edg took 16 rounds in their last 4 maps...

edg gen map 2: 5-13
edg gen map 3: 6-13
edg loud map 1: 2-13
edg loud map 2: 3-13

team has peaked, won't be going anywhere without a roster change imo

how we let these bums get to madrid?
show up whzy

China>emea

Q: "#FPX's coach said they only have EDG left to beat. [...] They want to beat all the teams within China on Lotus. What are your thoughts?"
ZmjjKK: "Who cares if you beat us? I hope you can beat other teams on the international stage. What's the point in beating us?"

thats why hes the goat

look at him go

AAAAY is him good respect, but where lysoar

what u mean even kangkang, they aint never play before dont smear my goat

if CN bracket is EDG vs FPX it's so cooked for china

billy is back

BLG just randomly good again

KEKW

nrg shaking

choke 4 maps to the same team
joke, get a real igl before roster lock

3 maps now jdg have thrown vs tec...

there's a rumor jdg don't even have a dedicated igl apparently, so it might not be jkuro's fault

wait actually jdg look a lot more solid today than previous days, we're going to madrid

jdg 2-0

come see jdg 26-0 rb and friends

guang will take nova to the promised land (losing to jdg in playins)

will still crumble vs jdg in playins
stew is going to madrid

They don't 2-0 every team tho, last 2 Evolutions they had to get back to finals through lower bracket. They stomped both finals, but they lost hard in winners finals both times on main roles.

nrg is staying at home with bilibili lilbro

if edg draw fpx in semis it'll be a tragedy

massive banger incoming

how many emea teams in champions finals last year again?

not counting cn teams either for sample size?
cause tyloo and all gamers in that pool as well otherwise

jdg domination
first series was a fluke my goat is going to madrid

kinda the cleanest cn team so far no?

my goat is 1v9 lay off
jdg better have a chiropractor for him

SOMEONE HELP MY GOAT GOOD GOD

my goat gives them a map for free
