that if it went the other way, you guys believe it could've changed something more than a team just winning that series

a few examples that pop up in my mind for me:
If KC didn't lose SEN's eco at 11-11 in madrid, i truly to this day still would've believed KC would've won map 3 and of course made playoffs. and who knows what could've happened to SEN's madrid win
If S0m won his 1v1 vs cgrs in tokyo, I actually feel like NRG had a chance to win tokyo

I wanna see some of your guys' thoughts on other moments. You can be as speculative/delusional as you want!!

if in shanghai 2024, fpx vs th, map 3 OT icebox, if berlin stuck the plant on harbor, he might've killed viper Boo, and they might've won the series and went on the win the entire event.

yeah that's a really good one. FPX definitely looked so strong coming into that tournament, definitely could've made an insane run in shanghai

He fucking heard stax shooting at Trent’s foot and didn’t move an inch, he definitely could’ve known and it’s not hindsight at all. Valyn was fucking awful in high pressure moments that series, still had a great series overall tho

if jingg didn’t clutch againts dfm, prx wouldn’t be at toronto to begin with

#15

actually, I've seen people say this a lot but that DFM match actually meant nothing

I thought this same thing but I remember checking the group stage results a while ago, and even if PRX lost to DFM, they still would've won the tiebreaker between GE and DFM. The GE game was what mattered if they made it or didn't make it.

But yeah of course I see where you are coming from there (in a situation where it actually would've mattered), then that clutch was the biggest one of all probably

EXACTLY THIS
I see so many fuckass videos and posts saying if they lost to DFM they wouldve never gone on the run when they legit just had to beat GE week 5

yea looool. many people fell for that narrative but i dont blame them haha, h2h rules are confusing. and maybe DFM win was a confidence boost for them

And what if they never recover v TL and lose the OT as well.
Prx winning was such a miracle and now they started losing finals again

I mean Heretics threw hard and still won (Mako 1v5 iirc, pistol 1v3 win as well).

Heretics were clearly the better team

Champions 2024, Grand final. map 3, game tied 1-1.

score is 10-9, money low.

S1mon, trapped on site, killjoy ult ticking down, 1v2.
And he big balls stays on site, doesn't flinch and he instantly headshots both and clutches it, with 1 second left on the lockdown.

Heretics are put on an eco and EDG win the map, deciding the series in the eventual 3-2 match.

IMO one of the greatest clutches of all time.

SEN v KRU
If fucking keznit didnt spray blindly thru the smoke and get 3 in split B main, SEN would have won the match and had a better placement.

babybay 1v3 vs nongshim on split final map masters santiago

could name 4 from the bangkok final alone

valyn lets sylvan stick the bomb on round 3 Pearl
valyn lets stax kill Trent while defusing in the 2v1 retake
valyn loses the 1v2 to close out split
Jawgemo throws the 3v1 against Meteor on split

From Toronto:

valyn throws the 3v1 against Patmen on split

From Santiago:

babybay loses the 1v3 vs nongshim on split
Trent and babybay troll the 2v1 vs davai on split

idk but even if s0m landed that shot NRG still had no chance of winning Tokyo when prime FNATIC was around (and only dropped one map whole tournament )

i genuinely think eg win tokyo if leo doesn't win that last 1v2 on split in upper finals, double map ban would mean they'd get lotus and bind out of there and they'd have been outright favoured on fracture, pearl and ascent

#38

yeah that last round was crazy af, EG definitely would've had a very good chance at winning

TH vs EDG s1mon 1v2 or 1v3 on lotus because TH ran into B site literally a second or half a second in before the KJ ult would have detained him and i think TH would have 100% won that map

#43
cameran

Frags

the confidence needed for s1mon to do that is insane, if the TH players just waited and he died, he definitely would've been clowned so hard man

most impactful play done by kangkang there for sure, probably saved their map 5 run

The iconic "Tenz Box 3k" on Sunset, NRG prob would have qualed to madrid if that round went their way and It would be completely flipped, maybe 2024 wouldn't have been a disaster for the "superteam" of NRG and Sen would not have even had the change to win Madrid

NRG having a chance against Fnatic 💀
They would not win more than 15 rounds v Fnatic in a BO5

#62

Frags

nah they definitely had a chance. i always view teams who rematch to have a good chance at winning if they lost to first time. i remember saying this for prx vs lev, and no one believed me (because they lost badly the first time). then what'd you know, lev ended up winning lol

different scenarios of course but you never know what could've happened
