For all season EMEA looked like a 1 team league. Even when teams got a map on them, fnatic would dominate the rest. For Liquid to show up like this in a BO5 is incredible. Especially when how shaky their season has been.
Just a couple thoughts:
- Liquid is a contender, not a pretender. They will likely need to be more consistent to win Tokyo, but they seem to be gelling at the right time and it's time to stop doubting them.
- 2/3 of the domestic favorites place runner-up (maybe 3 if NRG wins). Seeding for Tokyo is gonna be strange.
- Even as dominant as fnatic has been, valorant continues to have incredible parity. There's a good chance we're gonna get our 8th international event without a repeat winner.
