Not how it works, if neither of them make champs they both get relegated to ascension

Wild

Wait where was FNS during all this? 🤣

Cope

So you support a shitty org more than the players who won that tournament? lol

Living in the past mate

I’m the opposite of that browsing feature we all love to use 😉

He literally micromanages the team like he’s playing a turn based strategy game.

Flair

Boaster > FNS watch any Fnatic comms video

Not bait bro

Giants > G2

keiko better than alr, he was carrying the ex liquid, winning maps single-handily sometimes

Can we sneak Fnatic in there?

EU stayed relevant for 2/3 of the year which included the most important event of the year. NA was only relevant for the first Masters 😂

ohhh now its a fluke LOL

You’re about 2 years out of date from anyone calling this a super team, the closest this year is Vitality lol

13-10 vs Siko btw

If you wanna see a team that almost lost, look at G2 vs Siko

BBL getting 7 on defense with their attack sided comp was already over ngl

You were close to being bald tbf

G2 Gozen is clearly the underdog here. Pointing that out isn’t misogynistic just because you don’t like it. I think some people could be a little more respectful sure. But there isn’t one misogynistic comment here.

Edit: well well well…

So you want to limit the amount of player spots available even further from what it already is in tier 1 and hire someone not because of their skill. But because they’re not a man? No player should want that, imagine knowing you only got a spot on a team because of your gender. Why would u want that? Players earn their success not gifted it. If anyone in GC is good enough they can make it to VCT. Enforcing something like that is ridiculous and also not as inclusive as you think it is.

This aged well 😂

lol

I mean the build up to the final, and yes even the final despite a loss, were more memorable IMO than any of Madrid. Especially for a team that 4/5 players were tier 2 last year... waaay more impressive.

But yes everything that happened in Champs, including that rematch were also more memorable because like I've stated - champs is the most anticpated tournament of the year.

Ye I never denied reality. I just stated my opinion of it. But yes those "few things" at champs are more relevant than winning 1 trophy at the start of the year. (Congratz to China) Also if you navigate to some of my other comments you'll notice I mention Shanghai as well.

Anyone who makes that joke is just showing they are new to esports xD

lol now who's coping

I can actually, SEN were literally forgettable for the rest of the year. Didn't even make it to shanghai, and every match that involved Heretics was insane throughout the year. Best matches in Shanghai? Involved Heretics (FPX, all the G2 ones lol, GENG final). Same for Champs.

2nd Champs > 1st Masters :)

Look I'm obviously biased, but imo staying consistent throughout the year and doing well in champs is more impressive than winning the easiest trophy out of the 3. Now the years over Heretics were way more memorable, successful and hype than SEN overall.

Its just the way you said it like its some never seen before thing is weird. SEN seem to like winning the forgettable trophies tho.

Turned out EMEA sent home every AMER team in the hardest and most anticipated tournament to end 2024

This is such a weird thing to say when there are only 3 international events in a year.

“It’s not how you start that’s important, but how you finish!”

Bro, literally nobody said that about M8. And people’s prediction on Apeks was correct (mid table). Also Heretics was technically a tier 2 team as well btw.

Im referring to your “Apeks got lucky” comment. Since you agree Apeks chocked on Haven, you could say - Pcific got lucky. So it’s a 1 for 1 trade, take away the “luck” Apeks win Haven, Pcific win Lotus, result of Ascent is the same - same outcome lol

following from cloudberry. Apeks were deservingly hyped last year being undefeated until the final where most people would probably agree Apeks were overall stronger than Gentle Mates. Which was also proven this year when TL destroyed them.
This year the hype of Apeks started off with the renown of the org from last year and signing renowned ex tier 1 players in Soulcas, Avova and Molsi. They then went on a similar run in Polaris, and now here pulling off what the 2023 roster couldn’t.

Don’t remember anyone saying that about Gentle Mates. People even criticised their reliance on Phoenix and not being able to have the same results in tier 1. I remember people saying last years Apeks would be fighting for middle of the table and they were correct. Team Liquid (3/5 Apeks players) were fighting for mid table.

Same thing as Haven

You can say the same for pcific on Haven :)

Since Day 1 of 2023 I wanted them to win, had to wait an extra year. But finally, they deserve it <3

Mmm, kaayak might have something to say about that. And Soulcas technically already has a tier 1 position. And Anguist and the other CGN players will probably at least get trialed.

Anguist cleared, cleaned, thrown them in the bin, drove them to the skip, recycled them, created a new bottle, filled it with water and drank from it.

not so mad anymore

Literally none of them said China. Its pretty common for any player to say those three since the majority of teams speak English.

Don't get too cocky after one trophy bro lol.

Everyone saying to drop Boaster. Who do they get to replace him as IGL? (literally anyone you say is a downgrade).

Ok? What's your point, all the teams were invited. And you had to have a perfect run to win. No second chances like Masters and Champions. And Fnatic still went on to dominantly win Masters after that. Saying its a fluke is literally what every hater says for every event XD

1. LEV isn't NA
2. Fnatic clearly isn't the best EMEA team this year

Anyone who uses the "Mickey Mouse" argument loses all credibility. It doesn't matter what the format of the tournament is. And you could literally argue LOCK//IN was harder since its single elim.

And "fluke" is just so opinionated and biased its just dumb.

Imagine thinking the seeds actually mean anything lol

Nice one buddy
