The only not cis emea team to ever win a trophy was acend, and they had two poles and a ukrainian.

AcNed*

Xerxia almost beat fpx, was a coinflip game.
They beat optic last masters who eventually won the whole event. That‘s like saying NA is a one team region atm, because xset is not better than xerxia.

So are jing and forsaken (and mindfreak)

No one expected kru to get out of groups, winning against loud was outperforming expectations

#WGAMING

ngl I was not too impressed by optic‘s bind, but xset were just throwing hard, seems like they have to get used to lan, I don‘t see them winning against leviatan though.

PRX hopium

Bc they won against kru

Why, they got owned by PRX.

FNC 3-2 DRX

ehh shao played really good against xerxia, will be an interesting 1v1

scripted lmao

They are literally seed #2

L bronze player take
Russ is a support player and has a lot of value for the team, and clearly their roster is working

DRX 2-0 XIA

Edit: well this is wrong now, still 2-0 Drx

FPX 2-1 XIA close game

Loud doesn‘t even play on the same level, they only beat other teams bc their players are individually cracked, but if they face opponents with great tactics such as optic drx or fnatic, they have no chance.

major region was the question, SA/OCE don‘t even have a masters spot.

Considering he was coach and IGL, shaz was a pretty good IGL at the time.
