seeing people call a team a fluke really pisses me off tbh, i have seen a lot of people calling optic a fluke team so far, like wdym? when optic versed any team they played in masters last stage, the other team just didn't try or something? they just magically happened to become world champions. they didnt hve the most convincing run in na stage 2 so far, but the teams dont stay the same all the time. players and teams gradually get better. think of sentinels vs fnatic masters 2 grand final. if sentinels then versed optic in masters last stage, optic would thrash them because the teams didnt get worse, other teams just got better. that doesn't mean they are a fluke, it just means they can't keep up with the improvement of other teams that fast. this applies for most teams in the world who are being called a fluke. i am not saying fluke teams don't exist at all, but most of the time, if a really high level time begins to lose, it isn't a fluke, they are probably just burned out, lacking experience or just can't keep up with meta or other teams. give them a goddamn break! calling them a fluke isn't gonna magically make it better.
