Uncleben

APAC - 0 😭
China - 0

EMEA - 5 (-lock-in tax)
Amer - 5 (+last 2 trophies buff + 2 champs trophies buff)

Amer > EMEA

EU (fnatic x2, ascend, fpx (majority eu players, Ukraine isn’t cis)
NA (Sen x2, optic, EG)
Cis (gambit)
Brazil (Loud)

Eu - 4(-lock-in tax)
NA - 4(more recent trophies buff)

NA > Eu

TLDR
NA clears

Yes, but it wouldn’t be as impressive as any other trophy.
Fnatic got to grand finals lock-in after beating sentinels (who didn’t even make playoffs in regionals), furia (no lans in 2023), 100t (didn’t make regional playoffs), and navi (grouped every lan in 2023)

Can u read? Their win vs loud was great but they beat teams that never made any other lans or got grouped the entire way through

It’s a Mickey Mouse because every franchise team gets into the tourney without earning it, lower competiton

That was Fnatics first VCT lan as a team. They done the same as louds off season and swapped 2 players out. EXCUSE EXCUSE

and they won the next tournament dropping 1 map (eg fracture xD)
really dont get how u guys can shit on lock in but say madrid is competitive xDD when fnatic proved they were the best team the entire year and loud also went on to win americas and top 3 at champs

both events are kickoffs , unless sen maintain this form and place good at the next event this shouldnt be taken anymore prestigous than lock in

More recent trophies are more impressive. Sentinels kickoff win is a lot more impressive than say gambits masters win in 2021

matchups make games
fnc rolled prx and eg but lost to loud
and loud lost to prx and eg
if fnc vs prx happened at tokyo fnc would have rolled them (forgot the 12-0 half on lotus?)

Your take is weird.

Madrid had an objectively more competitive format than Lock/in. You can be upset with how KickOff qualification wasn’t double elim but that doesn’t take away from Madrid as a tournament format itself. I’ll take Swiss Groups and Double Elim over Single Elim without Seeding every day of the week.

Future tournament performances also don’t reinforce past success/failures because teams can both improve or fall apart over time. It’s like saying Tokyo FNC win was a “fluke” because they didn’t win Champs. “Proving whether fluke or not” narrative is garbage. The only way to make sure something is competitively sound is through format, not by reinforcing your bias.

I explained in post #5
Also kickoff is more recent so it’s more impressive

shitmea gets a flukyo tax, PRX without something, EG gets demon1 his visa last minute and has to practice without him.

then america gets 2022 reykjavik tax🤝
what a massive nerf for eg the 1 player who can just run it down and rely on his aim cant practice with them for a couple days
if that and have fun merchants missing something is a valid reason then is emea not having fpx or derke

yep ur right with smth there they wouldnt have been down 12-0d on lotus and 12-3d on bind
and yep eg would have not have lost 1-5d to fnatic if demon1 was there for 2 days of prac

its def as impactful as FNATIC not having derke and braveaf and whole of FPX (winners of emea 13-0ing fnc) not being there
