Why is everyone rating faze so highly, they dropped Poach and got flyuh back and went on a honeymoon period where they barely qualified out of groups and didn’t even qual for Copenhagen
Edit: similar thing with EG in that imo they are also overhyped, they beat optic once but didn’t do much in playoffs, sure they exceeded expectations in C2 but that’s bc expectations were low
They lost to xset in the rematch, most teams lose in the rematch (they lost to faze on the rematch too), optic lost the rematch to xset, LG lost the rematch to Faze, EG lost the rematch to optic, xerxia lost the rematch to optic in masters 1, optic lost the rematch to x10 at champions, gambit lost the rematch vs acend in stage 3 challengers playoffs, Northeption lost the rematch vs full sense in apac lcq. Loud lost the rematch to optic in masters 1, fusion lost to leviatan in the rematch in stage 2 Latam playoffs, laser lost the rematch to kru in stage 1 Latam playoffs
I shouldn’t have to go on, in general, the team that won the first match loses the rematch. 100t also have so much time to prepare for lcq here than they did for xset in playoffs, and we know that their coaching and strats are a large part of their success
It’s less that I trust SEN and more that I don’t trust any of the teams below them, besides TGRD which I think have a miniscule chance of going on a run, I don’t trust any of the teams below SEN to win LCQ, I think SEN have a decent chance though, I think c9 will have fully integrated curry when LCQ starts(they clearly were not prepared to play with him last challengers) and I put SR 8th bc I haven’t seen them do anything special, I think they have no chance to go on a run and place highly. Sure SR beat c9 2-0 the last time they played, but SR were 2 rounds away from being 2-0d by a historically bad SEN roster the last time they played
