Every partnered emea team (the original 9 and m8 for koi) have all qualified for at least one international (and beside TH and FNC, they all do shit)

emea for sure has the best middle of the pack teams, i can guarantee the emea 7/8th teams would beat the amer/apac 7/8th teams
nah man the 7-8th teams in americas like 100t and sen would play it super close versus those teams from emea and apac
100T are not middle of the pack anymore
sen would lose to for example gx, kc, fut
ngl i was lowk trolling with 100t they are clear of 8th but i do think theyre middle of the pack arent they?
top four: nrg - g2 - mibr - furia
middle of the pack lev/100t - kru sen c9
then the bottom teams
has 100t actually shown enough to be put in the convo with the top teams yet
thats true but g2 at the time was really not in gear yet i feel, i think if they played the g2 that rolled nrg and mibr they would have gotten stomped
i believe 100T will be better than mibr and furia during stage 1, and will be able to beat nrg/g2 on a good day
the new teams that make an international from EMEA are always inexperienced and dont make it to the next one cause the rest of the teams have figured out the meta. Idek how liquid cant make it past the group stage though.
liquid lowkey unlucky sometimes with the games they play, like champs having to play the winning team and 3rd place team in your group is just unfortunate
genuinely has to be an org curse or something, so many different iterations of players/coaches and they still cant do it
considering bbl started off in the playoffs and m8 literally lost both games in the playoffs i would say it kinda is. especially when m8 only beat the 3rd seed of china & 3rd seed of emea to make the playoffs
I'm talking more about other events insta playoffs appearances don't count stuff like 23 fut or gx I would say are genuine results
fut at shanghai i agree with, but gx at champ is pretty similar to m8 at santiago tbh. (gets to playoffs through group stage and loses to the winner of the tournament then loses the next game)
edit: also gx really annoyed me in champs was expecting a good game against NRG but they got shit on
