If they win surely but what if they lose? I mean they came 3 times 2nd then in international tournaments this year.
What do u think?
its atleast worth the same as the first masters of the year. let me explain. so bangkok 8 teams, ewc 16 teams. to win the whole tournament u have to get through groups and win 3 times in playoffs. ewc u lose ur out, bangkok double elim. some ppl might argue that the teams at ewc aren't as prepared as for other events. maybe yeah but in the first tournament of the year a lot of teams have completely new rosters and play shit at the beginning so its easier to win imo
so by that logic if nrg win they are toty? wouldn't u value consistency throughout the year more? no hate towards them obviously ik rosterchange and all that but i think they shouldve atleast won something regional but g2 farmed americas. last year team of the year was geng right? 2nd 1st into getting grouped at champs or would you say it was edg?
for me its between prx and fnc
Gen G had ONE bad tournament, they made the grand finals of everything EXCEPT for champs. Both PRX and Fnatic haven’t gone CLOSE to the level of dominance 24 Gen G had, and even then there was a little debate if they were actually the toty
So yes, in the case NRG win yeah I would consider them the toty, because 1 regional + 1 masters < champs and 1 regional + 2gf < 1 champs
yeah i agree with geng. i was just curious. idk for me its really hard to give it to nrg if they win because its called team of the year for a reason. so i would value consistency more but on the other side if u place 2nd 3 times like fnc if they lose tomorrow u still did great but your also one of the biggest chokers ever. if they won atleast 1 international it would be way easier to debate
For sure Team of the year. Honestly as much as I want NRG to win. FNC winning this will be an amazing finale to the year. back to back to back grand finals and finally closes it out to give EMEA another trophy after 3 years and being the only team that actually does something from europe. Whoever wins lets hope for a 5 map banger. VAMOS
yeah kinda same position then as th but last year there was geng so there was no discussion. this year its harder.
so if fnatic lose
