It's clear that the only reason FNC was ahead of others was because they simply happened to find their groove and structure faster than the rest. Sometimes these things happen. The other teams were also experimenting because they didn't really care that much about masters, Champions with its unprecedented prize pool is where it's at!
Now that every team has instantiated the greater portion of their potential, evening out with FNC, FNC have been exposed for the frauds they are.
Obviously LOCK/IN doesn't count no matter how much you want FNC to be the first winners of two events in a row.
Tokyo, admittedly, was more legitimate. However, FNC barley icked out against EG with their map advantage. Barely won. Now everyone can see their real level, they can respond realistically or cope as copers cope.
America (let's be honest, why does EMEA get to cover so many countries, make it just America to make it fairer) > PACIFIC > CHINA > FNC > EMEA
