pretty much every team to get a sub just before an event have always done well
prx had cgrs for a 3rd place finish at tokyo
th with patitek got 2nd at shanghai
t1 had carpe sub in for a bit at bangkok and won
tl got penny for toronto and almost upset the eventual winners
fpx had SEIDER sub in for copenhagen groups and they ended up winning
so with this evidence, drg win champs
id say a big difference is that the player they had to replace wasn't just not able to go to the event, he was fully cancelled which really brought team morale down.
im not the one to make excuses but the guy who replaced YOU (midi) couldn't even speak english and he was the main initiator
Mf compared those team with fking DRG
DRG is literally vo0kashu and friends
All teams you mention still have solid core
quite literally the opposite, something got visa denied and they had to play with cgrs
Bro doesn't know ball, though I will say DRG losing their best player might throw a wrench in their Champs victory run
If you think this, you haven't seen DRG play in months, spiritz1 and akeman have made it so DRG isn't just vo0kashu and friends anymore
