Everytime a team has placed 2nd in an international tournament, they have crashed out of the next one.
Iceland 2021 Runner-ups: FNATIC (didn't qual for Masters Berlin)
Masters Berlin 2021 Runner-ups: NV/now OPTIC (didn't make it to playoffs in Champs)
Champions 2021 Runner-ups: GMB/ex-M3C (didn't make it to Iceland 2022)
Iceland 2022 Runner-ups: LOUD (finished last in Copenhagen)
Copenhagen 2022 Runner-ups: PRX (???)
Will Paper Rex be able to break the runner-up curse?
