didn't all of EMEA get kicked out of playoffs last year by DRX, the chronic playoffs chokers? FNC and Liquid are obvi EMEA's best teams, and Fut losing means absolutely nothing, but let's not pretend like EMEA has perfect playoffs lol.
I never expected Fut to do that well i even put them below NAVI even thought they won against them i just don't trust unproven teams and that has worked for me in the pickems.
FNC was just as unproven and they won Lock In tho? like i get your point, but plenty of unproven teams have taken trophies. Acend had one miracle run and never did anything else of note. It's the nature of the game sometimes, maybe EG is a really good team and we just don't know yet.
I mean i follow the rule that teams that did well on lan before they will likely to well again and it worked for me. Sorry but fnatic was not unproven they been multiple lan before every player its not even comparable to fut in any way.
i mean then your theory is necessarily disproven by the fact that kru only ever made it out of the group stage once while making it to every single lan of the game's history. like, your definition of proven is wild if all it is is the teams that have made it to lan lol.
I mean its not random nobody expected anything from Kru and also they were a much weaker set of players than the core before so it follows they will not do well.
Holy English paper. Also using twisten's depression and death to bolster your argument about regional banter is fucking insane. Seek help.
