Are the Guard overrated?

The Guard are looking really good recently but are they a bit over hyped? A lot of people are predicting Guard to make Iceland but personally I don't see them making it over C9, V1, and Optic. They're definitely top 5 NA but more so 4- 5th place with SEN.

i say they can beat optic

imo half of the people think that way. Its just that the guard fans are really loud + I think they can beat Optic. C9 and V1 are the predictions of like 90% of people tho

not that there's anything wrong with being loud

They are honeymooning hard rn imo. No hate to the guard but I feel like they would disappoint hard if they went to LAN instead of V1, OpTic, or C9. I want to see them have success through next stage before I can see them as a legit contender for international tourneys.
