you can say 2025 - PRX if you value having a trophy
but if u dont care about if the team has a trophy or not, you have to put 2025 - FNATIC no matter what (FNATIC was literally a better team. They beat PRX 2 times out of 3 and the only time PRX won was when they had a 2 map ban)

EWC is included
T1: 1st 8-team Masters, 9th-12th Champs
TH: 11th-12th Masters, 1st EWC, 5th-6th Champs
Team Heretics were literally just a better team in 2025
icl g2 should be above nrg, making playoffs in every event and looking like the best team itw at one point beats out being silent for the entire year then dominating champs
idk man, that day of BO1's discredits EWC for me. I don't think any major Val tourney should ever have BO1s
still the prize pool was as much as a masters, so for me it definietly counts
nobody is dreaming of winning ewc they're dreaming of winning champs, or cologne, or katowice, or TI
truth it sucks that they choked but on consistent quality fnatic totally dominate everyone else for last year
I feel like a trophy win + top 4 at Champs is better than 2 second place finishes but FNC is deffo 2nd and they'd be undisputed 1st if they complete the reverse sweep at Champs
is winning the trophy not the goal? 2nd and 4th place makes no difference bc it means you were a top team but not the best team. prx players are a lot happier with their result last year than fnc i promise you
Gambit: no champs
Optic: no champs
Fnatic: no champs
Geng: no champs
Prx: no champs
a total of 0(zero) World Champions in your list
The only Champs winners who played well the entire year have been Loud and I feel like getting grouped at Copenhagen gives OpTic the edge over them imo
They were considered one of the worst teams in Americas till they added Demon1 and even then their playoffs quals came down to MIBR getting the miracle upset against 100T
Once they hit the international stage in Tokyo is when they started actually playing insane
I mean it`s based on the said teams performance throughout the year.
-LOUD finished last in 1 international,
-EDG shat the bed in shanghai and madrid
-,NRG were non existent in the first 2 out of the 3 splits.
Tbf loud got robbed they should have been one of the auto playoffs slots ngl idk why the decider for who goes was between latam and BR 2nd seeds and not their first seeds that was silly
Riot spent the entire year grouping all of South America together yet it's 2 best teams never played each other until playoffs at champs that's wild
interesting argument I havent heard in a long time (I almost forgot about this).
hmmm
If they won either of the 2 finals they were in they're undisputed 1st, but a trophy + top 4 at Champs is imo better than 2 second place finishes
Why do people believe a champs trophy is the achievement you need to be the team of the year?
The year isn't champs it's kickoff, multiple masters and regional performances lmao
NRG was not good the entire year they peaked at the end
EDG was not good the entire year they peaked at the end
EG was not good the entire year they peaked at the end
Etc
"Best team of every year" is based on average placement and dominance over the entire year not a single tournament.

this is the only correct answer
Gambit (N/A, 1st, 2nd)
Optic (1st, 3rd, 2nd)
Fnatic (1st, 1st, 4th)
Gen.G (2nd, 1st, Grouped)
Paper Rex (N/A, 1st, 4th)
2021 is definitely acend. They are literally dominated emea in 2021. They won 2 emea championships. They beat prime gambit 4 times and became world champions
