They look really good right now, Kingg is super impressive.
During the past Champions 2022, we heard similar claims... And even Kingg was impressive back then... but FPX 2-0 Lev... +twice FPX 2-0 KRU with keznit/mazino in the team....
To put it simply, teams from South America were never the type of cryptonite for FPX-NAVI.
But there will always be that first time. Hopefully, not this time ;)
That's great... Neither LEV nor Navi are one-dimensional teams, and both are capable of deploying different forces on their opponents at different times during the game - TACT/STRATS in action.
The question is whether Navi will face LEV in the semis or will it be a different draw - Team Secret is not an easy opponent. Though, whatever happens with LEV, I'm least concerned, but who knows how they'll do... Can't wait to see.

pancada49: "...those braindead flanks ange1 did against KRU won't work against LEV."
Flanks or Not ---> ANGE1 OWNED LEV! Yet, no matter what they say, you're beautiful and bright - it's just not this time ;)
No, they are not overlooked at all...
Team Secret is a strong and dangerous team that is showing signs of improvement across the roster this season. Honestly, the last time they played ITL, I was impressed by their personal, high skill level... the lads had demonstrated that they were not to be toyed with (for a sec, if we ignore that 0-13 loss to Gambit)...
Without diving into details, Invy and the rest of the team looked more than convincing against TL to make a strong call. Also Jassie seemed absolutely in place to excell in calling and add a damn good number of fraggs during TL match. And their team chemistry, in general, throws out some very positive vibes which was not seen last time they played ITL....
It's all well and cooking in Team Secret's house.
On the other hand... Navi is not exactly a walk in the park... are they? ;)
Without doubt, the match will be exciting to watch. GL!
Well, there's nothing wrong with thinking TL is the best or one of the best in their present form... however, supporting such claims with something more substantial is always encouraged;)
However, IMHO, TL is nowhere near their top form right now. Sure they'll work it out, but Navi appears to be alright in the meanwhile.
And yes, to note by mentioning TL's terrible form, I am not implying by that that Team Secret is weak. I'm merely questioning TL's terrible form, nothing else.
