NAVI core has won masters copenhagen after sending the so called best team FNC home LMFAOOOOO
-8/8
Even if they win LOCK/IN which is not garanteed, but are you forgetting that there was no FPX in 2021 masters or champs, and optic are the only team to go to every event except the first one, coming 2nd in Berlin 2021 and top 3 in every event in 2022.
Are we gonna forget all that because the FPX/NAVI won Copenhagen, came 4th in champs and now could win a single elim ambiguous tournament?
I'm all for EU and NA hater, but they haven't achieved nearly half as much as the optic roster.
Because the sad truth is people will only remember winners of events, not people who make playoffs and never succeed. Optic are by far the most accomplished NA team. However they've achieved the most but never won anything internationally. It's why in a few years people wont really remember the roster. They'll remember the teams who won events, Loud, fpx, Gambit, Acend, etc. It's been like that in previous games. People might remember them as great contenders for events, but that's gonna be about it.
tldr;
People remember teams who win, and teams who fall. Sen fall, Acend fall. Gambit fall/wins, loud wins, etc. Contenders tend to be forgotten after a couple years.
