STOP misusing fluke

#1

Nongshim won Santiago dominantly and the meta favoured them, they fell off afterwards because the meta changed
NRG won champs without losing a single game, yes they played very close matches but how does that make it a fluke? they also placed 3rd in the next master, proving it wasn't a one time thing

real flukes:
PRX Toronto, dodged gen.g in playoffs and barely beat liquid with no practice
T1 Bangkok, looked like ass and peaked for one week then did nothing for the rest of the year
Sen Madrid, same as T1

Sen got 4th at champs that year. They were straight up a good team, no fluke, just a bad read on meta

s0ntinels just randomly peaked at champs again, they looked like straight ass all year

if gen.g didn't collapse suddenly they would've gotten grouped. but whatever I'm willing to concede maybe sen wasn't a fluke, I guess not everyone can peak for 2 weeks a year

Nrg didn’t fluke the finals but they probably should’ve lost to DRX or mibr
Sen came 4th at champs are you trolling

PRX did not fluke, the only team that could've beat them at that event was FNC with a better map pool
They then immediately won Stage 2 and got 4th at Champs

prx lost to gen.g in groups and fnatic lost to gen.g in playoffs, both teams lost to gen.g yet prx ended up with double ban because fnatic got unlucky with the draw (they got the last draw from the first seeds so they had to play gen.g who no one else wanted to play)

lulquid and g0ng choking doesn't make prx's win a fluke unfortunately

What people dont understand is that apart from Loud and Optic 22 and PRX 2025 every single global event winner was mid afterwards

NRG is still on analysis but both are more of a case on early season rewarding established teams and then falling off afterwards

gen.g placed second then first, they did collapse at champs but it was clear something went wrong with them (and the same core did well the next year)

NRG placed 3rd in the next tournament. EDG placed 3rd in the next tournament. Sen in 21 did decent in the next tournament, gambit placed 2nd at champs

True, what im saying is that every winner team fell off after a while. If we use that as an argument (like Nongshin or the "Champions Curse") every tournament win was a fluke which is just a wrong sentence

GMB 2021
FPX, OPTC, LOUD 22
FNC 23
GENG 24
PRX 25 (fluke because TL clears them if we actually to got practice with our full roster)
NRG 25

a lot more than those 3

GMB disbanded for unfortunate reasons
FPX, FNC, GENG were very mid by the next year
NRG is still in the process they might not even qualify for playoffs on Stage 1

by that logic why do you include Optic?

Optic core was a world-class team by the next four international events (even if they didn't have a great Lock-in placement its only because they faced Loud early, they were easily a top 4 minimum team there), they only fell off for their champions 23 run

Can we just call every win "deserved" considering the meta they all played on....like every winning team mastered the respective meta they played on and won

nrg is the biggest fluke of all time, they missed prx who would've destroyed them, as we saw in sandiego, they barely won games scraping out rounds and almost got reverse swept in the final, least deserved win ever

fluke = team that won an event but did not win the next one.

Only Fnatic was legit, Lock In and Tokyo back 2 back :)

How about this then:
If GE don't make champs or future international event, this GE making Masters London is a fluke.

Heavy cope
A 5 month old team beat a team with a core who's been playing for 5 years together under the same coach.
Also Patmen was a last minute addition. Still smoked PRX in kickoff, a guy that's only been 1 year with them read them like a book on pearl
