it was a great event but the black sheep of the family, not masters but not champions as well, it's in a weird position of its own

cuz its mickey mouse and single elim, and no qualification required so even subpar teams can go on a mickey run

even if its single elim there were 40 teams that could make a run and win. Being the winner out of 40 teams IS impressive

They hate it cause they're never gonna win it. There will only ever be one Lock In, and FNC will always be the winner

Single elim. And for the most part prep is just non existent. You're nearly clueless to how any teams play unless you scrim them or they play a lot in the off season. No seeding you could've hypothetically seen Loud vs FNC round one. new team, new metas etc. It was just a glorified show match and was in fact marketed that way as well.
