no way we letting fnatic win
they won a trophy and placed top4 at champs while winning stage 2 in regionals. fnatic while getting 2nd twice did not win anything
let me ask u simple question. if you were a player, would u rather have prx 2025 year or fnatic 2025 year
Won EMEA stage 1 and made three consecutive international grand finals. They also beat PRX at champs with a sub..
2 finals, if EWC counts then Redbull does for NRG as a finals appearance.
That's too late though the year at least to me ends after champs I would keep it in mind for 2026 though
Nah my point is off season events don't matter, half the teams were burnt out from toronto some of the teams didn't even send their best rosters, BO1 in first matches of group stage. The only thing EWC has going for it is the prize pool, but it definitely is not close to a VCT event.
Yeah that much is obvious ewc was not allat to me and the counteragruments never made sense
Losing 2 international finals is not an accomplishment ( we do not count Mickey Mouse ones, otherwise NRG wins cuz they won soop and Sen city too)
fnatic came second at toronto, ewc and champs
meanwhile prx won 1 event by beating fnatic then failed to beat them again
how the fuck is prx the "team of the year", fnatic were consistently better except for 1 match they lost lol
did fnatic win? failing to show up in the most important moments is what seperates the best of the best teams. didn’t you all use to clown on prx for it?
wtf does that have to do with being the best team throughout the year bro, they won 1 event good for them. but to be the team of the year you have to consistently be at the top. and in that fnatic were above prx.
yeh but no one cares about a team that is consistently at the top but never wins. u can look at other sports where people only care who wins. the truth is the trophy is what matters
no bro you're just extremely biased. i support neither fnatic nor prx and i can confidently say fnatic was far better. but since you only care about winning, i guess nrg was the best team of the year since they won the most important tournament
were nrg the best winners though? they only made it to one tournament and they didnt even win a regional
yeah cause they won the most important tournament with the most competition, all while not losing a game btw
must mean edg was team of the year in 2024 but everyone thinks geng cuz they were the better winners. same case for prx
prx won 1 event by beating fnatic
and Fnatic won 0(zero) events, you cant be the team of the year if you didnt win shit
2021: Gambit (Masters)
2022: LOUD or Optic (Champions or Masters)
2023: Fnatic or EG (Lockin, Masters or Champions)
2024: GenG (Masters)
2025: PRX (Masters)
you can though.. team of the year means best performance throughout the year. prx were the best team in the world at toronto and were below fnatic for the remainder of the year. t1 and g2 were both worse than fnatic for the majority of the year. the only team that consistently stayed at the top and outperformed previous international winners was fnatic. hence fnatic was the best team of the year
And Fnatic was not the best team in the world at any point, there is no second place trophy
comparing H2H since both didnt make to Masters Bangkok:
Prx: won Masters (>lifted a trophy, best team in the world<), Top 4 at Champions (decent placement)
Fnatic: Directly lost a Masters trophy to PRX, 2nd place at Champions (there isnt any 2nd place trophies, not even silver medals)
yeah, that's why the question isn't who won the most trophies or who was the best at a certain point in time. the question was throughout the year. fnatic beats prx, g2, t1 and th at champs and you know it. they were consistently better. prx won an event then were consistently below fnatic.
The team of the year needs to win something, there is only 3 tournaments in VCT, winning 1 of them is already a dream for every org
Being "consistently better" doesnt mean anything if you dont lift the trophy. Second place is as good as last according to the players themselves
I dont know of a single other esports or sport that had a trophyless team as the team of the year, so why we should make an exception for Fnatic lmao
to each their own, but again, fnatic is in the lead on the poll for a reason
thats more of a popularity poll for memea fans copium, as every other region won a trophy in the last 2 years, even China, except for them
Trying to convince NA to vote for apac lol they are not even voting their own team G2 and NRG
