Now that this first phase of LOCK-IN is over, contrary to what many were saying before, the ALPHA part of the tournament was much more difficult than the OMEGA. The Sentinels vs FNATIC match was a flop, 100Thieves showed to be 100Bots, Team Liquid didn't even play, and so on.
But this is my opinion, and I wanted to know if you guys come to the same conclusion as me.
Edit: srry, I got the title wrong, it should be alpha ^^
Qwertyy [#2]C9 in alpha = alpha>>>>>
Paper Rex, C9, Talon, Gen.G - All of these teams would easily outshine over half of the OMEGA members, and I don't even need to mention the best of ALPHA.
Vitality, FUT, FURIA and LEV would equally shit on EG/GENG/Talon. The fact is they are just as close, but majority of the site is just having a hard time accepting the fact both EMEA teams absolutely dominated their way to victory without dropping a single map. Other than top 4 + NRG, its a shitshow overall.

Talon looked good and went toe to toe with DRX
EG had close maps with Talon too
Vitality had one close map and then got obliterated (please dont make assumptions based on going 2-1 with GE 💀)
FUT????? Beat RRQ who was expected to place dead last? Only won their map pick against 100T who looks absolutely lost?
Cmon now. NAVI and FNC look fine, but please dont overhype the bottom tier trashcan EMEA teams

Other than Heretics, every EMEA team did well if you being unbiased. KOI played against NRG, Giants lost to NRG but took a map from them. BBL did as well as C9 did against DRX. Like seriously after the 100T games who are considered one of the best of Americas, BBL/FUT aint far off. Overall, it became even when NAVI and FNC decided to bully all the remaining teams anyways lol. You put NRG/LOUD in place of NAVI and FNC in place of DRX, we get the same fucking results. The gap is huge rn with the new rosters.
capital_d_colon [#7]both sides pretty equal.
prx giga flopped
dfm 💀 who let them in blud
c9 looked as bad as 100ttalon probably had the easiest run to the quarters
im actually confused why dfm is in but crazy racoon isnt
g4 [#5]The fact is that Team Vitality was better than everyone in Alpha, just accept it
thats why they lost to team that lost to navi, right?? because they are better than LOUD and DRX??

First and foremost: You forgot Liquid 💀
If you put LOUD and NRG in different brackets (i dont care about Alpha/Omega, different BRACKETS), they both qualify 100% regardless of who they are with
DRX are better than NAVI and FNC and it isn't close, unfortunately you wont get to see that until Masters because LOUD is winning the whole thing.
I dont care about BBL, not even worth me looking it up because I'll never watch another one of their matches again.
FUT stocks inflated from results based analysis and low sample size.
KOI and Giants could be good, but I dont think so.
Heretics is objectively not good and will not get better.
100T games who are considered one of the best of Americas
You literally JUST watched them play the sloppiest 3 series in the org's history since dropping ec0s and babybot and you continue to cope from them being overrated before we even saw the roster play any real teams.
ALL THAT ASIDE
C9 looked like shit, 100T looked like shit and have major work to do. No matter how biased I may be I can't ride for these teams until there is some improvement. I believe 100T will figure it out, and I'm okay with C9 buying a T2 roster and developing it (from any Americas region at this point)

nobody reading allat 💀
Shigeo [#15]nobody reading allat 💀
stay ignorant then, I couldn't care less
You'll be gone when Navi clears shitnatic anyway
Lol loud and drx bracket is harder. Anyone that says otherwise is trolling. So many fruads in the other bracket. U got liquid didn't do shit and lost to secret. Rrq and t1 fraud orgs. 100t playing down to their opponents level. That's why Navi and fnatic stomp so hard that late into the bracket. Means so many teams are bad.

Not even a single team in top 4. Chamber nerf killed the whole NA region 💀

I think the reality is somewhere between in both u wrote.
EMEAs bottom teams aren't good, NAs bottom teams suck even more but pretty close, i think Brazil's teams other than LOUD showed up best to expectations (teams like FURIA, LEV).
"DRX better than NAVI/FNC and not even close, LOUD deleting all" =%100 delulu take, any of those can win, NAVI esp. looks bomb

Bruh i can show you 100 people on this forum who said Team Secret or LEV swipes and destroys NAVI %100. Just because NAVI was better than expected doesn't mean the bracket was easier. DRX's matches were in close level to NAVIs matches too.
Only clear conclusion you could make would be, FNC/NAVIs matches were easier compared to LOUD bcs they didn't have NRG. Or anyone who had it against 100t it was easier, lol. The rest wasn't significantly different
babysasuke [#3]valid take, champs grand finalists in the same bracket
typical and expected Riot handicapping NA, now Americas
edit: oh my bad, its not just grand finalists, all of top 3 was in Alpha bracket. Pretty based!
wherever babysasuke goes, downvotes follow

bro, ur saying C9 and 100T could improve
you can say the same for newer rosters like KOI, GIANTS, and VIT
...
and also the finals is DRX vs NAVI/FNC

Nah I said 100T can improve
C9 needs to sign a Challengers team, those bots don’t want to win
And I said KOI and Giants could be good, but apparently you can’t fucking read because I didn’t type “bark bark bark”

donut2612 [#12]im actually confused why dfm is in but crazy racoon isnt
Just like EG is in but OpTic isn't (no hate to EG)
donut2612 [#12]im actually confused why dfm is in but crazy racoon isnt
CR apparently were meant to make it in but forgot to fill some important paperwork so DFM replaced them
donut2612 [#12]im actually confused why dfm is in but crazy racoon isnt
Basically their financials were bad and they forgot to actually send the application papers (as a respectable org, i just don't know how u can FK up that hard)
And to add to that their business practices are a little iffy....... Apparently
