Is it just me or the 2nd place curse is actually a blessing in a way?
OpTic / ENVY came second to Gambit in Masters Berlin, and didn't make it out of groups in Champions. Fast forward a year later, they win Masters Reykjavik against LOUD, who coincidently also didn't make it past the group stage in Masters Copenhagen i.e the very next tournament, and won Champions i.e. the next event.
Paper Rex are going through the same phase. 2nd in Copenhagen, didn't make it out of groups in Istanbul. Dare I say this, PRX LOCK//IN winners? :Copium:
