You gonna ignore the fact that they failed to qualify in round 1, round 2 and even upper bracket in round 3. Further, they played more matches than half the other players so its expected their stats would be high. All love tho

"final of china", bro wym "of China".. this is the THIRD round for QUALIFIERS of the SECOND act of a TIER B tourney. These guys don't stand a chance against EDG, FPX, ASE, KONE, DRG, TTG. In round 2 they couldn't beat NOP who placed 9th in China (in act 1) or NWG who didn't even qualify for act 1 last time 💀💀

what are you writing 💀💀 💀???
Unranked Gank with NWG had first game 1-2, with NOP the second 1-2. A week later NOP was easily defeated 2-0. Only 3 weeks in China and Gank in top and final. You wanted all wins immediate ? These guys came without knowledge of language, to someone else's culture, country... For Gank a great result and excellent a players transfers

You can't understand what I'm writing because you clearly don't understand how the tournament system works. It goes act 1 qualifiers -> act 1 -> act 2 qualifiers -> act 2.

Each qualifier has multiple "rounds", and the better teams qualify in the earlier rounds - they're also given benefits for doing so. In this case, teams who qualify in later rounds are forced to go against higher seeded teams from act 1 - like as a punishment.

Act 1 groups is far more competitive than Act 2 because they qualified first time round, only teams who are not able to qualify the first time (or placed 9th-12th in groups) must qualify AGAIN for act 2 - this means the teams GANK are fighting are quite bad. Winning a final here does not mean that much, and calling it "the final of China" makes no sense. It's like if a random EU team with 2 NA players won the qualifiers to go to Challengers stage, then saying "No surprises, the level of play in NA is very high, only 2 good NA players and you are in the final of EU"

Wait, the Chinese scene is so confusing. Was this for a spot in the China league (for next year) or was this for a spot in act 2 to compete for the masters Tokyo spot? And if it’s for the league this year aren’t they starting really late compared to the other leagues who’ve been playing for a month already? VCT is so unclear about anything that happens with Chinese teams.

this ^ its just a third party organizer. I just say league out of habit but its for act two of this tourney. They use this to determine the spot for masters and champions though so its pretty important.

I know it might be a bit late to say, but this was just for a spot in Act 2 - which ISN'T being used for a masters Tokyo spot, as you might know already. These qualifiers work using "rounds" where each consists of 4 single-elim brackets, where the winning teams of each of those brackets "qualify" for a double-elim finals bracket. Simply another 2 teams are eliminated. Then this is repeated multiple times ofc, and teams which qualify in earlier rounds are given benefits. Honestly I think this is one of the best qualifier formats I've seen.

As for why act 2 exists? It might be here for a point-like system to determine who goes to champions? It's cool to see that you're interested in the CN scene tho
