Team that had high hopes but struggled to meet expectations?
T1? Vitality? ZETA? Liquid? FURIA?
Mine are JDG and VIT.
JDG: the Rare Atom core -yoman. The runners-up of Ascension looked like the team that could challenge EDG, FPX, and BLG. Fast forward and they look egregious. Not helping that their head coach left, and stew is the only Korean on the entire roster -- from staff to players -- so imagine how he feels.
VIT: I had very high hopes for this team. runneR and kicks were considered hot prospects, and sayf was a phenomenon already. With the addition of trexx -- therefore reuniting with sayf -- I thought VIT would be a darkhorse for the top of EMEA, such that if trexx and sayf carry, at least the other three players would carry their weight. However.... the first half is true, and the second half isn't.
