Yea DRX is the biggest disappointment and loud as well but i dont think i was that disappointed with xset cause sure i was expecting more but never thought that even at their best theyd be able to win anymore than 1 match
I think FNATIC are more fitting to be on that list rather than XSET seeing as FNC were the undisputed favourites coming into masters and they played like the famous team of throwers, Optic
just cause you didnt expect anything out of them doesnt mean their fans didnt. Imo they looked a lot better than FPX and they are definitely a lot better than FPX but the game they had to show up Russ just wasnt able to make any impact whatsoever and Suygetsu was unbelievably vital in that win. If the playoffs bracket was organized better and was more balanced I think Guild wouldve made it further than Optic would
W man
i think guild is underrated as well and they got f'd by being put up against the 2 finalist team cuz of L RITO PLAYOFF FORMAT LLLLL (all emea on one side and xshit, drx, and levi on the other side)
this is how i'd rank
top 2: fpxprx (no order)
- and 4. Guild & Optic
- FNATIC (disappointment)
6 and 7. Drx and levi - xshit
Id say FNC would be higher than Optic cause while Fnatic were a disappointment they werent playing nearly as bad as optic, the expectation of that team was just so high that it makes the performance they gave just that much worse. Id say FNC wouldve won against Optic 8 times out of 10
So id say:
- FPX (When they dont throw and actually try to win they look like the most consistent and scariest team to go against cause they have so many clutch players and the fact that everyone even sometimes Ange1 go crazy in their matches just makes them that much more terrifying without even talking about their insanely good anti strating)
- PRX (if they were a little more consistent and hadnt lost in such dominant fashion on their best map i think id give them no.1 but they still have a lot of problems to fix)
- FNC (played terribly but the fact that they got so far playing like this just goes to show how insane their individual players are, in Champs FNC is probably gonna be the hardest team to go against)
- Guild
- Leviathan
- Optic
- DRX (yes ik its quite low but an average of how they play would be 7th place. Id give them no.1 or 2 if they consistently played at their peak cause i think peak DRX is the best in the world rn)
- Xset
For me personally
- XSET (had a lot of hopes for this team)
- LOUD
- Fnatic
Other teams like DRX I expected to lose. The fact they can't get a swift 2-0 vs fpx with sub and cant even get through teams like Optic and Zeta, there was no way they would be making it far in the tourney with 3 EMEA teams in the playoffs
As for Guild, I am quite happy for this team. Not only did they embarrass NA by 2-0'ing Optic, they also qualified to playoffs being first seed. Unfortunately had to go out against the two damn finalists, showing them a good fight at least.
Definitely loud and fnatic
Loud finalist to last place in the the whole tournament
Fnatic were the best team in the world but i feel like they peaked and got worse
XSET was also very disappointing to beating optic in grand finals 3-1 to choking and not winning a series
I would say also DRX but they lost to FPX
-
Shitnatic
-
DIAPERX

Honestly no one else.
Xset was expected.
Shitnatic need to get rid of their shitty coach, and remove mistic. Add 1 more CIS player, perhaps braveaf or another insane cis controller(ONLY CIS NO OTHER REGION, Maybe MENA) I know braveaf is initiator, but if he wants opportunity he will switch to any role you want him to, he is desperate to join a tier 1 team honestly.
- Loud. they made the finals last year, and didnt win a single match
- FNC. they won only 2 out of 4 matches. one of the matches were against FPX with a sub, and the match against LEV wouldve been lost if enzo doesnt stick the bomb. im not taking that win away from them, but they very easily could've lost. considering they were very favorited to win the whole thing, pretty disappointing.
- OPTIC. not that a top 3 finish is bad, but they never looked great in any of the matches. i knew they werent gonna repeat, and they got lucky with their bracket. still a top team in the world, but i expected more out of them
- Fnatic - rly hyped for them especially for the derke and alfajer duo but then derke fell of and alfajer just could not keep up , add to that mistic's lan debuff and fnatics lack of strategic depth this tourney and the hype that went into this event , i was bitterly disappointed
2.&3. LOUD and Xset - IDK MAN i just dont wanna talk abt them , they both just mentally got boomed by their respective regions and Xset loosinf 1vx after 1vX situations rly made me mald
