They had the same record as Sen in split 1 but their group was easier then Sen's especially with C9 and Kru playing like they did in the regular season. Also they almost got 2-0 by t1, almost dropped a series to BLD, and lost to TS this split. They probably were burnt out but their record and group were easy enough that they could get by.
Those 2 teams were also the 2 best teams in EMEA and the one that couldn't attend was the winner of the next Masters.
Micro plays are important because they can help you take the important map control. They obviously matter less than map theory but they're an important part of team play that we ultimately see the best teams do. Also, every map that has come before a Champs was released 1 1/2 to 3 months before the Champs started.
Pearl was released before Copenhagen started and Abyss 2 months before champs would even start.
I mean meta as in what team's think is the best for them or the best in terms of util usage. Like certain shock lineups or oneways.
I disagree with Reykjavik 22 > Champs 21. No FPX FNC two subs is definitely taxing on its quality.
Lev FNC are the only teams that are looking to be peaking or playing relatively close their best right now.
Teams are better by the end of the year and the meta is defined or teams have a definite identity of what they want to do.
I was just thinking this. Every first Masters of the year is worse in quality than the prior Champs. This is another reason I think Champs > Masters
The champs lcq teams would be the equivalent of the teams that were one win away from making a masters at the time. So, teams like Kc last split or C9 for Reykjavik 22 would be the teams at the masters. We just don't get to see them do to a select number of spots.
I just think champs is more meaningful than masters trophies.
I know we will be. Like surely, we can't mess up a third year in a row.

I assume it's this.

I think it's just clearly Vit that should make it. I don't think Navi should be there as well if we think of who deserves to go.
FNC is qualed off points since Heretics only need one point which would be the match that quals them to champs. could be mistaken though.
It is what it is. vlr users of every region rage bait other regions. Sucks it was my goat tho.
The earth will explode before this happens.
They played c9 before the roster changes mibrx2 furia loud with jet lag.
Rossy, N4rrate, reduxx, verno, mada, brawk. They have hella options.
How is FNS+s0m Nepotism? Also, they said they would play without each other if they got a good offer from different teams.
FNS said they lost belief in him as a caller, and he felt that the optic core ran its course.
When Ethan was igling they couldn't even gain a lead.
Probably -vic and crashies
+n4rrate/demon1/Reduxx/mada
I think it's the latter. NRG before this genuinely looked like CS players who just started playing val before he came back.
Yeah, this is definitely a disappointing performance.
Sucks but it is what it is. At least s0m is still in great form.
