..on who's gonna win M1: Reykjavík, 2022
The Theory:
so the whole theory revolves around the Team Liquid, one important factor deciding the fate of the Grand Finals. Now lemme explain how-
(some imp abbreviations: KO= Knockout, GF= Grand Finals)
M2: Reykjavík, 2021- TL vs FNC | FNC KO TL | GF- SEN vs FNC [14-12, 16-14, 13-11, FNC almost beat SEN so I decided to include the stats]
C3: EMEA, 2021- TL vs GMB | GMB KO TL | GF- SMB vs GMB [GMB won and secured a spot at M3 Berlin and later won M3 Berlin]
M3: Berlin, 2021- GF- NV vs GMB [GMB won and secured a spot at Champions]
LCQ: EMEA, 2021- [TL won GF without losing any single match and secured a Champions spot]
Valorant Champions, 2021- TL vs ACE | ACE KO TL | GF- GMB vs ACE [ACE won the Champions]
M1: Reykjavik, 2022- TL vs LLL | LLL KO TL | GF- OPTC vs LLL [TBD won M1, Reykjavik]
The Conclusion:
After analyzing the previous stats, I can say whichever team shut the TL down has won the tournament in the past.
and by this, LLL should win Masters 1: Reykjavik, 2022. Although both OPTC and LLL are equally deserving for the title but I'm sticking with my cringe theory. LLL got this. GG.
