They did throw a 5v2 v Fnatic tho on map point as well

Heretics got first in that group and got a way tougher draw

I've got Sen making it deep but if they only finish 3rd (so they lose as soon as they face the teams in the bottom half of the bracket it kinda is a lucky draw that got them there)

literal mickey mouse run to the finals

If they only finish 3rd at this tournament I can guarantee you they were not a top 3 team at the tournament

Oh i didn't know it was a popularity contest

I guess Ninja is the best Fortnite player of all time then

After Sen dismantled Gen.G it's definitely not

Sen has the experience diff as well

The odds have it as the closest game of them all 50/50 no favorite

Nothing really?

I can see Drx beating Sen, Trace beating EDG, Lev beating G2 and Fnatic beating Heretics.

FNATIC 2-0 LEV

If Heretics wins champs
They've beaten FPX and Gen.G already and could add Fnatic, G2/Lev, Sen/Drx to that list.

Chronicle is easily the GOAT right now
The longevity, flexibility, IQ, mechanics and accolades speak for themselves.

2 masters

N4rrate had some 1v5s
Trexx 1v5 v Navi

Some of Wo0ts Aces in Shangai were insane as well

Would love that

TH-SEN-G2-FNC top 4 would go stupid hard

TH-SEN top 2
G2 top 3
DRX top 4
EDG-FNC top 6
TRACE-LEV top 8

Does that make them the team of the year?

their first game in playoffs at champs

probably going to continue v Heretics

their first match-up is a 50-50 and if they win they will be the underdogs in their next series so no

TH can beat G2 on every map if I'm being real whereas G2 can only beat Heretics on their good maps so would definitely favor Heretics in a BO5

Favorites: Sen and Heretics
Could win: G2
The rest are somewhat dark horses

What happened regionally often doesn't matter Internationally

Different stakes, atmosphere, pressure,...

If Trace can play up to their level they have a shot but at the same time i believe their group was relatively weak

Idk man if they can't beat EDG they will probably just lose v Drx/Sen as well.

G2
TH
Sen

Still 3-0'd us when it mattered most

Round 1 winners:
Sen
EDG
G2
TH
Semis
Sen
TH
upper final
TH
Grand final: TH v G2

TH choked a 10-2 lead to lose one of those BO3's

Lev loses back-to-back let's be real

Also would favor TH over G2 on that side still

If Sen beats Drx yeah they will make upper finals

Gen.G would've easily made finals with that bracket but instead Sen stole it from them

(Relatively easy road compared to what they could've had (any of the bottom 4 teams))

based on experience alone basically

G2 v LEV
TH v FNC

Man both of them could've cooked one side of the bracket

BRO that bottom half is fucked

LOOK AT THE BOTTOM HALF OF TEAMS

WTH

DAMN

this shit is fucked already for EMEA

They got all of the fucking pressure on them now

Home team
Only team from their region left
First time at a big tournament for most of their players

It's time to go their seperate ways

It's been a fun ride W gaming

1. TH & Sen (tournament favorites)
2. DRX & FNC (could win it)
3. G2 & EDG (can go on a run)
4. Lev & Trace (small chance)

2nd picture

First round v Sen and they lose is my prediction

Only #4 seed in playoffs + making sure we don't get the perfect playoffs again (2 from every region)

You have earned the right to make playoffs

Basically could've beaten G2 as well.

So much better than losing a close map

EDG is winning lil bro

(at least this game)

Like which match-ups would even have a definitive favorite?

Not only talking about round 1 but about every match-up possible

Can't underestimate Sen and Fnc in high pressure games

It's just when they face a team that is tactically sound but also got some heavy shooters that they lose.

it's so open damn

Heretics (they've been choking in finals tho)
Sentinels (experienced winning a trophy this year)
Fnatic (experienced winners)
G2? idk man they always choke in finals.
DRX maybe if they can keep up the form they're in but probably not.
Trace would be a massive surprise still
Lev they have 2 world champions but i don't see them winning it all
Prx? they can ramp up but don't see them winning it all.

I guess somewhat

They can upset some teams in playoffs for sure

The best team in the world v team on a cinderella run going h2h for a spot in the world championship final

One of the best decider maps we have seen in Valorant history
