big event won vs consistent qualifcation

#1

tuxmko

would you win one big event (acend,gambit,sentinels) and go on a little downward spiral or have really consistent qualification in mostly all the vct majors with maybe only winning one big event or not (drx,kru,prx,optic,fnatic)
edit: i may gotten the teams to compare a bit mistaken but u get the question tho

bro no way you put optic in the same tier as drx, drx has not done shit, optic placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd at internationals

Consistent winning is the best ofc. Optic is the only team that's done that (2nd at berlin, 1st at iceland, 3rd at copenhagen). If FPX win champs, then they will be the best so far. This will all change during franchising tho.

Winning event and staying t1 team. Just like OPTIC gambit acend (yes I still think acend is t1 team and that I would do well on international lan, maybe champs? 👀👀👀)

They were few rounds away from 2-0 ing FPX and knocking them out. M3C vs FPX was extremely close as well.

winning a big event gives u more money than just qualifiyng so economically that would be better

I think it depends on what region you're playing in; if you can manage to consistently qualify in EMEA that's SO much more valuable than winning a single event, because on average you will make it to a decently high ranking in the international event
For a small region like Japan on the other hand the run Zeta is invaluable because you now set the bar for future Japanese teams (and also prove that your region CAN do damage at international events and shouldn't be dismissed)
