Kickoff- 3rd
Stage 1- 5-0 in groups finished 2nd
Toronto- did pretty bad sadly
Won EWC
Stage 2- 5-0 in groups again finished 5-6th but werent bad just simply got outclassed by teams that are on a heater rn
When TH bombed out of playoffs I really didn't want them to make it
But then I looked at MIBR and thought why not, maybe both teams can actually prepare well for the tournament and get out of groups
Navi are looking solid but they would have struggled to even get out of groups while Heretics if they feel like it they can win the tournament and stomp teams
a key point is that they qualified BEFORE they lost, it gave them less incentive to try to win, Heretics were just shit. But I agree, Fnatic did not look good in their recent matches
heretics deserve it with the performance this year, they're also the type of team to comeback and make a run for champs. heretics didnt get gifted 14 points, they earned them.
tbh I more just don't enjoy watching them, I never actually said they didn't "deserve" it, having said that top 3 in EMEA for most of the year meant very little
