crashies resigned with fnatic lol

I don't think people are unironically blaming DRX, but the fact that Riot isn't being consistent with their officiating is throwing the mood off for everyone ngl

honestly id put it up there

Cinema, no? Back to back bangers

why did he randomly decide to have his best performance ever, im in tears

APAC 4 > EMEA 1
EMEA 4 > Americas 1
Americas 4 > CN 1

Worst seeded event of all time or what

no one said that

Second worst one but that doesn't mean it's bad. I really liked it but idk if it works as a song for Champions lol

pensive

I must be the only one who prefers group stages over swiss

If Heretics don't make champs then idek, that's kinda crazy

They kinda choked map 2 but I think they just got outcalled and outclassed on map 3.

mid mechanics?

how it feels seeing a 10/10 jersey from a rival team

One's already qualified btw.

Where does this team currently rank in the world at this very moment?

Don't think it's a hot take if you're talking mechanics

If anyone's bored or slightly interested, here's a list of "champions/winners" of VCT. This list works the same way the Unofficial Football World Championships works (which is where I got the idea from) There may be some mistakes, so if there are let know and i'll revise the list!
Here are the rules:

• The first team to win an international VCT match are declared first ever for ease of starting point, these can then be taken to regionals.
• The next full match involving the title holder is considered a title match, with the winners taking the title.
• On-Season VCT events ONLY (This means no Red Bull Home Ground or Esports World Cup Tournaments)
