Every time a team comes from lower bracket, they win the grand final. It’s a fact from the start of time. Does anyone have an explanation for this? It’s way too common for it to be just a coincidence. Upper teams EVEN get 2 fucking map vetos. It just simply not make any sense.

  1. momentum
  2. upper bracket teams realize less of their mistakes than lower bracket teams would
  3. since ub teams watch a lot of lb games, if a lb team does a small switch up, it could hurt the ub team's performance in upper finals
  4. lb teams are usually going to be able to pred what ub team map bans
  5. m3c cant defuse
  6. ub team can sometimes be overconfident
  7. ub team also might be lucky to be in finals cuz the lb team mightve been upset earlier
  8. fpx had a sub in ub

You know… this is why there should be a champions league format, with no double elimination in an international LAN at least. Thoughts?

honestly i think a rematch will 9/10 times favour the team that lost 1st (if they are around the same level), it happens so much. a team that loses will learn more from their loss than a team that wins
*not that all finals n shit are rematches, just alot of the time they are. also just a lb run will learn more from their losses

You know why it didn’t work for fnatic? It’s because they never learn from their mistakes. It happened in 2021 and it happened again in Copenhagen, they just never learn. Check my prev posts

I feel like when the upper bracket team wins it’s just because they are a much better team than their opponents. Loser bracket team seems to win more often in regions where there is more competition at the top.

yeah i agree fnatic doesn't seem as adaptable as maybe some other teams that are supposed to be top tier, fpx is an amazing team that can adapt on the fly with minimal prep time. probably thanks to their insane players with very deep agent pools, they also seem to have a deep map pool aswell. fnc has great players and are great when they're winning but when they're losing they seem lost and lackluster, maybe they'llve learnt this time and look cleaner in champs
