No tourney is a mickey mouse but the closest would be 2022 Masters Reykjavik because FPX couldn't attend.

by this logic is tokyo also mickey considering PRX had to sub for something and yk Demon1's issues as well?
Hot take - even a team not being able to attend doesn't make it Mickey.
Analogy - A team's star player is hurt and they lose the championship doesn't discount from the other team earning it over whatever form of competition they faced.
At the end of the day they are overcoming a multitude of Tier 1 talent and earning their trophy.
Mickey doesn't exist - people just like to complain and detract.

1 player vs the whole team
and you can't make that excuse when fnatic beat prx with a sub
dododo_de_dadada [#11]1 player vs the whole team
and you can't make that excuse when fnatic beat prx with a sub
that 1 player was pretty fucking important
got both of the said teams to champs finals
also the match you are talking about is 2 whole years later with different rosters what?
tubelight [#5]"No tourney is a mickey mouse" when la, madrid and paris exist
Actually I don't really think Madrid was really mickey mouse, like all 3 international winners were there, TH was there, PRX was also there, and then there was even FPX which was a pretty big darkhorse team. Pretty much the only 2 mickey teams were Loud and KC.

very reasonable, its a shifting landscape of metas and players. we don't have a basic reference frame to even refer to something as mickey in vct

yeah still though their whole team was missing and they were the top contenders/favorites for the event
dododo_de_dadada [#18]yeah still though their whole team was missing and they were the top contenders/favorites for the event
lowk im just baiting cuz even i dont believe tokyo was mickey but i do believe that the result of tokyo becomes more murky if something was on prx

very unreasonable, an event is mickey when I say so
very unreasonable, an event is mickey either when the results don't fit my narrative, or when it's champs 2024

wait but wouldn't toronto 2025 fit your narrative so why would it be mickey
riensluvr [#25]wait but wouldn't toronto 2025 fit your narrative so why would it be mickey
hear me out, WOL win toronto
Dudhi [#19]lowk im just baiting cuz even i dont believe tokyo was mickey but i do believe that the result of tokyo becomes more murky if something was on prx
yeah i agree with that but fpx were clearly the favorites for the event so lowk Reykjavik = mickey
people really seem to think FPX would’ve just cleared the event just because they won copenhagen, but idk how people think this when both teams in the final of reykjavik ended up outplacing FPX in champs
i think OPTC LOUD were the correct teams to be in the final of reykjavik 22
dododo_de_dadada [#27]yeah i agree with that but fpx were clearly the favorites for the event so lowk Reykjavik = mickey
ig bro
Dudhi [#26]hear me out, WOL win toronto
nah there's no way you guys even get top 3
riensluvr [#31]nah there's no way you guys even get top 3
nah we beat PRX in the upper final and dismantle FNC in the grand final
Dudhi [#32]nah we beat PRX in the upper final and dismantle FNC in the grand final
always fun to watch fnatic choke regardless of who it's to i guess

no becuase that doesn't fit my narrative

FPX is underrated, if you actually took a look at their matches that year they lost by a game of inches both domestically to EDG and internationally to heavy hitters like TH or GenG (except their very last game to Sen in champs groups where they got blown out)
If any one of those matches had gone FPX’s way, the course of 2024 would’ve looked drastically different imo (especially if they won a grand final domestically since that would’ve changed seeding for Chinese teams with EDG being second and FPX possibly not being in group of death in champs for an example)
