If we see a single elimination bracket for Champions I'm gonna freak out
Bro I could give two shits about 100T in 2021
Acend is proof of a fluke team. How the actual fuck do you not understand that???
You mentioned 100T as if that made any sense...
I just mentioned that both teams rosters are essentially evaporated.
Yknow it doesnt look good when you have to have something spelt out for you because youre too slow
100T could've fluked too... oh wait
Acend beats old 100T 9/10 times just like Gambit beats that 100T 9/10 times. You call them fluke. Acend was undoubtedly the best team in EMEA whole of 2021. Barely any team could beat them. They only lost to gambit in a seeding game, but in the high stake games they always won like dropping gambit to the lower brackets in EMEA stage 3. Same with demolishing Liquid in the highest stake games, not redbullhomeground. It was an insane fight by gambit to even make it 3-2, that was how strong acend was, not Lulquid flukers.
Bro who cares about old 100T they literally arent apart of the conversation... They were consistent losers toward the end of the season and no one even had them winning the whole thing... All of a sudden they popped off one time that happened to be during the most important part. If they weren't a fluke team they wouldn't be disbanded and they might actually be competing this year.

Here's a list of all the teams that aren't flukes... Because they're competing again
flawed list. DRX and KRU almost zero fucking competition, but KRU got grouped twice this year. DRX failed to get top 4, lost to Zeta, Optic twice in a row and demolished by FPX. M3C and Acend has to play against teams that win the tournament, get top 4 or teams that 2-0 previous masters winners.
The only teams that are insanely consistent are Xerxia (they missed masters 3 because of bug exploit), Optic and Fnatic(qualifies from the toughest region almost regularly) and Liquid (consistently qualifies and embarrasses EMEA)
NA is only good in single elim formats, and this time FPX just exposed these flukers. In a single elimination playoffs, its much more higher stakes, makes it soo much better. CSGO, things like world cup, champions league all of them single elimination. There is a reason it is and not double elimination.
Optic/Envy in masters 3- Played against KRU, VK and two NA teams all the way to finals, not a single map against EMEA
In champions- grouped by acend and x10/xerxia, not a single map against EMEA
Masters 1- no competition, not a single map versus EMEA
Masters 2- Opening games in playoffs vs xset and DRX chokers, and already top 3. Exposed by FPX and PRX, maps were not even close. 1 map finally won against EMEA, lost 5 maps total.
