Now that FPX went out 4th and PRX didn’t even make it of groups no one is calling Copenhagen a fluke. Why? Well you see every region but EMEA aren’t sore losers. When we lose we take our L’s and move on. When EMEA loses it’s a fluke tournament. I remember when Loud lost in group stage of Copenhagen every EMEA fan called Reyjavik a fluke. What now?

Because unlike optics third place fpx in fourth actually had competitive and we'll played matches. Placements have absolutely no bearing on how good a team actually are, it's the actual match itself and how the team plays that dictate how good of a team they are. Fpx literally played the best map against drx. Literally at a skill level we almost never see in vct whilst optic really just played like dog water in Copenhagen and fluked it to third. Also their only first place was in a tournament where the strongest region didn't have it's top 3 reps
charizard_123 [#5]I dont know why people take the “fluke run” bait seriously, its the most obvious bait, and if anything, the team that gets called a fluke the most is acend, an european team
to be fair they went from world champions to tier 2 and going out first in lcq.

Because Acend is a fluke and now you can see it's not even EU bias is literally just facts

worst take
Guild sent optic to lower brackets immediately in copenhagen, they beat LOUD and went straight to 3rd place from there
Reykjavik XERXIA knocked them to lowers instantly and they came back and won
now they are coming 2nd 1st in the biggest tournament of the year
theres no way you think optic is a fluke team when they've consistently been top 3 every lan this year and 2nd at berlin.
oh and they finally beat an emea team to get there!

100% agreed and the only bad tournament they’ve had since acquiring Yay was champs of last year. Crazy considering how no one is consistent in this game.

The only good match they had that tourney was against loud. Also the xia one was not even a hard lower bracket it was against fucking Kru dude. And then we don't even need to talk about how badly they stomped xia
