FNC because their play is both methodical and backed by great firepower and synergy

Look at the firepower FNC has 4/10 players ITW are on FNC + their adaptability on the fly is probably one of best so given that for me FNC > C9 seems logical however doesn’t mean C9 can’t be in contention to overthrow them

but you gotta ask yourself is one good group stage performance really enough to determine if C9 is up there with the best team in the world?

It's pretty easy to look dominant in a 1-team region ngl

na Natus Vincere is still up there with FNATIC and Team Liquid seem to be matching up with peoples expectations of them before LOCK//IN also FUT Esports and Giants Gaming are also really solid teams that can do some good shit against other teams.

well of course FNC is still the best team in the region but other teams like NAVI, TL, FUT and GIA still could tear up other teams outside of EMEA

Cloud 9 is playing in a much inferior region, with B-tier teams like 100T, SEN, LEV and a C-tier teams like KRU and MIBR. Its not even close to being impressive.

tbf against FUT tho it was way too close even you can agree and that was FUTs first time on a LAN stage and GIA can be included in this

Furia vs Fnatic was also close. They genuinely could have knocked them out and we wouldnt be talking about fnc rn

Giants KOI TH VIT and KC had 2 months together during that event.
Lev, LOUD, 100T, NRG and EG had been playing with that same core of players since last year

FNC 26-0 Clown9. c9's only advantage is the lack of prep material on them which carried them. They have 2 mid players beanie and Luni. Fnc is known for their methodical and highly reliable players. The only way I see clown9 winning is if hey managge to give covid to derke and leo and alfajer and chronicle and boaster and all of them still play.

i did see logically. Delusional c9 copers will still believe in thier shaky playstyle. BRO c9 was playing fucking kc level comps against yteams. The only reason they are winning is lack of prep material on them lmao. mCe knows this thats why c9 looks strong. Let them play once teams know more about runi and jakee and watch them crumble like ash

I mean idrc who wins or not I think it'll be a really close match plus there are so many vods now with runi and jakee on C9 so they can be studied

they probs could they got the aim just not the strategy but from what we have seen so far for them it always allows them to get atleast one map for example DRX and FNC which are the best in their respective regions
