I don't get why people find it such a surprise that T1 and G2 made Shanghai. The teams have been to these international tournaments before. The G2 core made a Lan and won Americas challengers in the process. The same goes for Kru who can still qualify for shanghai. Kru have made almost every international tourneys before such as their champions 2021 run where they finished top 4 and their champions 2023 lcq win. I find it way more surprising when a team comes out of nowhere and qualifies such as heretics and kc when they made Madrid. Also GenG beating DRX to make Madrid not so much a surprise the second time around for shanghai. Anyone else agree that Heretics and KC making Madrid was way more surprising than G2 and T1 making Shanghai? I feel like people are more surprised that certain teams didn't make it rather than the teams that made it such as DRX and LOUD.

G2 actually deserve it imo

None of their wins were flukes

Meanwhile I think T1’s win over GEN G may have been a fluke

Unfortunate that neT isn’t with G2 anymore because I would’ve loved to see the full Guard reunion

unfortunately he's not good enough

If net stay on G2, they might not qualify

He definitely didn't get kicked because "he's not good enough", surely it was to put leaf on senti and bring in a proper duelist player like Icy

I get they were slight underdogs but both teams have made LANs before. It shouldn't be that surprising.

too early to judge
if T1 gets demolished by geng tmr then its a fluke
otherwise deserved

How are any of these teams random. These are the same teams that were making it in 2022.

Americas
G2- made masters in 2022 (leaf has made a lan before)
100T made champions in 2022 (cryo made it with Xset)
Kru or Lev - made champs in 2022 and multiple lans

Pacific
T1- made multiple Lans
PRX made multiple Lans
GenG - 2 time Lan. players have made multiple lans (lakia, munchkin(masters winner))

EMEA
fnatic - multi time winner
heretics - 2x lan
KC or FUT - both made lan before

China
EDG - multiple lans
FPX - won masters and made multiple lans

The only team that hasn't made lan before is the 3rd Chinese team
