there is no fluke win, what matters is who turns up on a given day and shows that they deserve to win and all the winners have done rightfully so
nah a fluke is something that would only happen like 1/10 times they still deserve the win but its not discrediting to say something wasnt intentional and just happened to happen.
Nga the only thing yk is to download 13TB of HaNime and show it your mom on valentine's day
their coach isnt the best him and meteor had lots of arguments js look at the calibre of t1s players before u call their win a fluke
players are all good well idk bout DH but sylvan was good. but that team was collapsing behind the scenes they will never reach a GF again it was a fluke that shouldnt be crazy to say. still deserved but if you played that GF 10 times they would win probably 1/10 times
the word you’re looking for is “miracle” and even then, shouldn’t they be rewarded for winning with their backs turned against the wall?
how is it not good? stax and buzz finally getting their trophy was a very good thing
asia dominates the game now and viewership in NA and EU is dying. G2 is americas last hope.
...americas r done for then but that was obvious since bangkok or maybe even champs
well ppl used to say asia is only good at lol nd those typa games (idk what its called) but now they are dominating val good to see
to fluke they gotta win something but fuck it can we pwease call their comeback against geng a fluke please! (g2 fans ts a joke my team js played horrible)
optic placed 3rd and 2nd after winning and fnc won tokyo right after lock in ... these are some of the least fluke wins when considering the performance of the team for later events
reykjavik was missing the best team itw at the time FPX because of ukraine who won the next event.... you cant say that win is legit. and Lock/In was a single elim (only single elim event we have had) in which they cameback from 11-3 on final map if you played that tournament 10 times you would get a different winner every time.
doesn’t discredit the fact that they overcame a 11-3 deficit and won, that’s definitely not a fluke lol, they must’ve been doing something right to push 9 rounds into ot
T1 definitely has the bigger fluke than rest of the teams mentioned at least they had one hard carry
he’s great overall but he didn’t play that good in the finals whereas meteor and stax did and they took over the most important maps being split and pearl
You aint watch shit talking about t1 has only 1 carry. T1 had basically 3 raid bosses during bangkok, yall eu fans are deadass delusional.
me when stax prevented T1 from losing the deciding round for the final 3 times and buzz turned into a demon on map 5
Flair
G0-2 against FNC last year and this year
can't do shit without tejo
they lost EMEA to LULquid and Flukyo had: LOUD(Americas Champions) with internal problems, PRX(Pacific Champions) without something(Pacific MVP), EG Demon1 (Future World Champion) with VISA issues and no practice with the team.
LOUD at lockin had 2 rookies and the whole team had health problems during the event and only the first match was post poned, aspas was going through physiotherapy during the event with his back and arms hurting, Less was taking serums mid games and even had to go to the hospital right after the series.
When they played against each other again LOUD beat them twice at the biggest stage. Lets be honest, LOUD closes that Icebox 99/100 times they play, thats why it was a fluke
1 was missing the best team itw at the time, 1 was the only single elim event we have had in the game in which to win the GF they cameback from 11-3, 1 had the team winning in the GF get shit stomped a few days prior and just hero played to victory and then went out in groups regionally right after, and 1 had the winning team falling apart internally get lucky against other teams falling apart internally and met a inexperienced team in GF which they had a good map pool match up against and havent done anything since. how are you gonna say these arent flukes if you played those tournaments over or even just the GF these teams would win 1/10 times excluding optic
They have all been to internationals and they have all competed for a veryyy long time
i didnt say they werent good lol im prolly the biggest glazer on the website i though they were the best team itw going into reykjavik lol. still a relatively inexperienced team though especially compared to stax, meteor, buzz
Meteor has been to less internationals than the g2 guys, and stax and buzz r some of the 10 most experienced players itw, g2 were prolly the 3rd most experienced roster in the tourney
okay of all things you could’ve said, i did NOT expect you to say experience was a factor
The only real fluke is Acend, because they were bailed out by the riot refs being shit, and the riot decision makers being even more shit. They quite literally lost in their first match to Keyd, but got bailed by a cam ruling. They almost lost WITH a 7 round advantage. They would have been clobbered by x10 and went out 0-2, but they fluked out. These guys are all in french tier 2, and they're alright, but no other champs winning player is in t2 (sacy is retired, and s1mon is the head monk in the temple that prays on EDG's downfall).
That's the fluke of all flukes, nithing even comes close.
agree besides maybe optic because the best team at the time wasnt even allowed to come to the event
All of emea was fucked that event, but my biased brain tells me FPX would have lost to Zeta so who really cares that they weren't there.
But on like a real note, FPX, Optic, and Loud were clearly the top 3 teams of that year, so I don't think it's fair to say it's catagorically a fluke. Would FPX be a hard game for Optic? Yes, absolutely. But, it was a game that would be close. M1 was also the strongest form of optic (after groups) so I don't think it can be called a fluke. Even with the worst conditions, the #2 seed beating the #1 seeds is not a fluke.
