According to their recent performance many thought that FPX, M3C, and NRG gonna lose easily, but the opposite happens.. Those who were performing well in the qualifications, suddenly seem to be lost tier 2 or 3...
TL wasn't in the group of death and only beat 3 tier 2/3 teams and an incredibly tilted M3C from the BIG loss. They lost to Guild kek.
Meanwhile at least FPX beat G2, the best performing EMEA team in masters 1 and is one of the only 2 teams to take a map off an incredibly red hot Fnatic
No they have been employing some rly nice strategy recently (who is coaching them atm, anyone know??) but yeah M3C weren’t tilted so much that their synergy is fucked probs because of the stresses of living in Russia rn…
1)no one thought FPX would lose to tl other than some delusional ones
2)M3C are known to bounce back and clutch it up in many situations. Let's see how far they can go
3)I have no idea what happened to Ghost, but NRG is not tier 3 and is on the brink of tier 1
Never doubt M3C ... especially in playoffs if you watched them when they're gambit they also almost didn't qualify for master to later become masters 3 champions last year. You cannot doubt them when the matches matter.
Ghost is a new team to the scene and do not nearly have the playoff experience despite their hot streaks. They can't seem to close games and throw leads.
