it would be the dream for them to find an org as 5, but not looking too realistic

pretty crazy that we might actually never see that optic roster vs loud ever again

When esports is not about skill, this is what happens. Not picking the best team for franchise, is so embarrassing.

they played each other SIX whole times in those 5 months, two of which being grand finals bo3 and another being a nail-biter to see who get eliminated in dead last in copenhagen. I'd call that kind of matchup a classic

They saw each other so many times because Riots format produces a lot of unnecessary rematches. If they went for a more classic swiss format in groups and remove the useless lower bracket in playoffs we would see more variety.

I'd say a classic is something over a larger time span (2 years +). It's just my opinion tho, don't take it too seriously.
