FNC has highest chance to win toronto after Tejo nerf dont you guys think
2nd VCT international tournament of year stats (from 2021-2024):
appearances:
trophies:
so definitely not 5% (more than that)
however, there is also the fact that EMEA gets 2 less weeks than AMER and CN and 1 less week than PAC (rigged). so maybe 5% = true.
indeed its logically more than 5% BUT consider i dont like any of the EMEA teams except VIT so 5%=true
FNC run old meta comp which will be more good after tejo nerf and they are still doing good with their old meta comp yesterday also
i think TH are in a crazy spot to win toronto, their worst map is leaving for historically their best map, they already only use tejo on lotus icebox, icebox is an easy swap for gecko to go back to their champs comp and so they only have to rework lotus and sunset. they are already leaning heavy into double duelist on a bunch of maps and its been frying, i think the only thing that might fuck them is they dont really have someone to play a second senti and i think double senti might be meta once tejo dies.
so TL has good chance if they are in toronto cause they have played double senti comp and looking good
yea but they do play tejo with both their double senti comps, although not that much tejo in general compared to other regions, i just think TH are in better form and have a higher peak, and the map rotations should favour TH more cause TL like fracture and idk when nats started igling but has he ever called on sunset before?
It's hard to trust FNC imo, they haven't been able to reach any great heights since 2023. The internationals they've been attended since then have produced disappointing results. Their individuals have been hot and cold this season which isn't a great sign. TH are in a better spot with their only downside being Benjy not in form.
I'd argue their 2024 season was good for any other team not named Fnatic
They placed 3-4th in Kickoff barely missing out on Madrid
They won both splits of EMEA when Heretics was the team to beat that year
They flamed out in Shanghai playoffs but stuff like that happens, they still took eventual winners to a close series
And they made champs and placed 5th/6th
Overall a good year
It just so happens that we are comparing them to the best season for a team and they have the legacy to suggest that we should be expecting more from them
But their 2024 season was a great one for any team not named FNATIC
