People talk about fluke runs from minor regions so often yet they often forget to mention the biggest fluke of all. Like legit ACE has been dogshit since their run.

how i can explain...

in Masters 3 2021, 100 Thieves and Vision Strikers beat them, they only beat Super Massive btw

in groups of Champions, they beat Envy (this OpTic), but Envy had a player with covid

in Playoffs, they was like a 5th team in list to win holy tournament (Gambit, Liquid, Cloud9 and Fnatic >>>> Acend at that point)

they won Champions and in the next year they got grouped in EMEA Challengers and bench 2 players after that (but idk the really reasons)

maybe fluke? maybe not? but seen this from this point of view...

ok :/

in my mind, they never was in favorite position to win Champions, i was really expecting the 4 teams that i said (and i was rooting for KRU btw)

I agree with you that Acend was not favorite to win at that time , and you are right most people rated Liquid (Liquid maybe due to bigger brand+scream) Gambit higher but the gap not that big to call them fluke. Acend v Gambit matchup actually coin-flip last year, Acend won some, Gambit won some (in EMEA events). Acend was not KRU or team from nowhere that won whole event

bro what is this
Masters 3 doesn't matter when we're talking about champs, teams can easily improve, look at the guard, fpx, fnatic, etc...

in groups, they beat Envy (this OpTic), but Envy had a player with covid

ok so what? whate we're they supposed to do then? 26-0 them? They did their job, you can pin the covid situation on them when it was a clean victory.

in Playoffs, they was like a 5th team in list to win holy tournament (Gambit, Liquid, Cloud9 and Fnatic >>>> Acend at that point)

what does this mean man, they literally shat on liquid, how can you say so confidentely they were better + expectation of a team =/= reality.
It doesn't matter what happened after because we're talking about champs, and even then there were unfortunate circumstances for them (kiles' family, starxo and zeek mental health issues)
they we're great in champs asides from a rocky start against keyd. If you only criticized gambit as much as you did acend (they dropped a map in every series on the way to the finals, having to win two overtimes, and we're showing a lower level since redbull homegrounds)

M3C was insane team , but Acend were better team in GF. And Acend were also consistent top team in EMEA , def not a fluke

Bro I'm telling you rn m3c not making it to this master's is the biggest fluke in Valorant history. Next time it happens there will be a roster change.

Even they won EMEA Challengesr, they would still not able to get VISA I think. But I think G2 got lucky win againts M3C by unfair schedule
