Tbh....... APAC isnt winning a single event this year
Its really between Americas Big 4 and Fnatic.
I think the only team in the world that can beat fnatic is Loud. Not because of the 5 players but because sadhaak is somehow the only IGL that can counter Fnatic.
so we pray that they somehow match up or we can just chalk it and give them the trophy lmao
ps: you’re welcome for the jinx 💕
Crystalzer0 [#2]I want to see FNC vs Loud too, it's a guaranteed banger + we can't call them the best if they have to rely on dodging one specific team (also the reason I don't think EG was better than FNC last year)
You don't think EG was better than FNC last year because they werent
number2_cNed_fan [#3]You don't think EG was better than FNC last year because they werent
agreed but they did have a stellar year, masters finals + champs can't be understated
Crystalzer0 [#4]agreed but they did have a stellar year, masters finals + champs can't be understated
yeah they did very good last year, but FNC was superior in every way (other than playing against LOUD)
FNC won 2 trophies and then got knocked out by LOUD during champs
Bold of you to assume that FNC is still in its prime. NRG and LOUD can easily 2-0 them right now. Navi is looking insane with ardiis back in form. Heretics still have a lot to prove but still mini boo and boo are insane duo. Engh is cooking with solid strats with KC. JohnQt is just getting started. GenG has also impressed with their performance.
Anything will happen but I am sure FNC is not the best.

recency bias much ? we saw one game from fnatic ^^'
Crystalzer0 [#7]recency bias much ? we saw one game from fnatic ^^'
Where they struggled to beat Vitality. NRG only played 2 games. LOUD also beat top 4 in NA.
That's why I said anything will happen. FNC can lose it all or win it all.

Loud went really far if we look the teams they played. I don't think PRX or EG would go that far if they had the same path.

People really started clowning on Fnatic when they placed top 4 champs and won the previous 2 events.
Like what more do you need?
2/3 victories + a top 4 finish in world champs is beyond insane for a team
Dokka [#24]Not if Martin “Marteen” Patek and Marshall “n4rrate” Massey have their way tomorrow
well, it would take a huge upset for that to happen. Not saying they can't but they most likely won't

'struggled to beat vitality' yeah on their 1st map back after a long off season, sure
you said NAVI are looking insane, they literally lost their first map back to BBL
rtg9000 [#28]'struggled to beat vitality' yeah on their 1st map back after a long off season, sure
you said NAVI are looking insane, they literally lost their first map back to BBL
You fucking moron. I am not saying Navi is better than FNC. I am saying ITS TOO EARLY TO SAY FNC IS THE BEST IN EMEA.
ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN AND WE JUST HAVE TO WITNESS THE MASTERS MADRID TO OFFICIALLY RANK TEAMS.
Shawn23 [#14]💀 one of the worst offseason moves
Nah signing Monyet was a good move, they just need to not have him replace Jinggg 1:1, that's obviously not gonna work. Just look at what Loud did with qck. He's obviously not as good as aspas, but as a team they don't look worse than last year, because they just changed their approach a bit.
Crystalzer0 [#25]well, it would take a huge upset for that to happen. Not saying they can't but they most likely won't
Agreed, I feel like everyone is thinking, Fnatic are gonna win… but what if…

FNC vs LOUD to me is like a Liverpool vs Real Madrid game in the Champions League lol.
Cromawarrior48 [#22]relax bro sen is not making it to the big 4 by the end of the season
no matter what you possibly can say about sen, they look miles better then everyone outside of nrg, loud and lev lmao stop speaking stupidity
uwukitten [#27]are these "americas big 4" with us in the room right now? 😹😹😹it's only loud and NRG, rest of the region is still shit as usual
uh sure.
Stlasher [#13]Too bad that kc will beat them and go instead
too bad kc beat you so you could not qualify for playoffs, well vitality would have got knocked out anyway if they even made it to playoffs
Breloof [#31]Nah signing Monyet was a good move, they just need to not have him replace Jinggg 1:1, that's obviously not gonna work. Just look at what Loud did with qck.

and that’s why it was a bad move, they’re in a win now state not in a year or 2, he dosent fit there scheme at all in any role and you can. No reason for 4 players to change the way they play for 1 person.
number2_cNed_fan [#5]yeah they did very good last year, but FNC was superior in every way (other than playing against LOUD)
FNC won 2 trophies and then got knocked out by LOUD during champs
everyway ? they literally only beat eg by 3 rounds each map and eg changed comps and looked much better
Borgroves [#39]everyway ? they literally only beat eg by 3 rounds each map and eg changed comps and looked much better
you are a special kind of special
geospliced [#34]Imagine if NA team wins Shanghai 💀
Riot won't let that happen.
Can't elaborate more because of the "no politics" rule, but you probably know what i mean...
starxito_sike [#37]too bad kc beat you so you could not qualify for playoffs, well vitality would have got knocked out anyway if they even made it to playoffs
Too bad trexx couldnt play cause he wouldve shit on your team
thiagomds [#10]Loud went really far if we look the teams they played. I don't think PRX or EG would go that far if they had the same path.
??? EG's path to come 2nd at Tokyo was to beat FUT, DRX, LOUD, TL, lose to FNC, beat PRX, lose to FNC in the finals
What changed before Champs that they suddenly wouldn't be able to deal with a tough path?
Smartest_BR_fan [#42]Riot won't let that happen.
Can't elaborate more because of the "no politics" rule, but you probably know what i mean...
Yeah I get what you mean. I think an EMEA team or a CN team will win Shanghai

Qck clears aspas he completely diffed aspas when playing against lev

it's too early to say but "I am sure FNC is not the best".
Stlasher [#43]Too bad trexx couldnt play cause he wouldve shit on your team
too bad in the regular season even when he will be playing, vitality would get shit on
Shawn23 [#35]no matter what you possibly can say about sen, they look miles better then everyone outside of nrg, loud and lev lmao stop speaking stupidity
mad delusional
Shawn23 [#38]and that’s why it was a bad move, they’re in a win now state not in a year or 2, he dosent fit there scheme at all in any role and you can. No reason for 4 players to change the way they play for 1 person.
There's literally not a single player in the world who could replace Jinggg. No matter who they sign, if they just put him on Raze and don't change anything, they're gonna be much worse. Jinggg is the best in the world at the specific things he does. They HAVE to change if they want to be succesful without him.
TheAceGamer30 [#47]Qck clears aspas he completely diffed aspas when playing against lev
Yeah, because Loud knew exactly how to best set up qck and how to counter aspas.
yay also diffed everyone in 2022, but the second he left optic, he didn't diff anybody anymore. Almost like it's a team game :o
starxito_sike [#50]too bad in the regular season even when he will be playing, vitality would get shit on
Thoughts on what just occurred?
Acelelelel [#62]FNC WON THE RIGHT TO STAY AT BERLIN AHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH
KC will get shit on by the other teams tho
