completely unrelated note but remember when everyone thought that paper rex was a trash team in 2025 and then they won their first international
i get it from the perspective of the people who say they look unmotivated or mentally broken or that they're chokers or whatever because losing two grand finals in a row would do that especially when the offseason isnt here yet for them to mentally reset, but it's a little difficult to count them out when some of the best things they accomplished came when most people doubted them, especially with champs typically being won by an underdog/random team out of nowhere
or they could make the grand finals of champions and lose again and become the buffalo bills (1991-1994) of the vct which would be pretty funny
