Not saying theyre frauds, but they had a easy group lets be real, I guess edg is a decent team, and drx who beat loud. But do we feel like they have faced a top 3 team yet? who people consider Fnc/PRX/Loud
(Not saying DRX isnt good but they looked in really bad form on lotus n trolled map veto imo)
I think EG CAN be higher than top 3 regardless.
TDLR: i dont think EG was tested enough imo, good map pool nice forms but maybe didnt face the best teams yet.
Before the DRX match, most people/analysts were saying that it was the most in-form team this event. Does that answer your question?
Regardless of who comes from lower bracket, and regardless of who wins, at this point EG is a top3 team for 2023. After the top2 Tokyo and now Top3 Champs, there's simply no way around it
cboomer [#3]being tested at a lan doesn't matter when you have to beat everyone to win
i shouldve said faced one of the better teams my bad
laifu [#5]A red hot DRX that hasnt looked this good the whole year is a fluke?
lmao im not saying any of their wins r flukes im saying that i dont think they faced like a GOOD good team yet
AstroGalaxy [#6]I wouldve said that if score line was closer
see this thing where vlr users try to math wins like
drx beat loud so that means they'd beat fnatic
it makes no sense, teams go in and out of form, play styles clash
being tested means nothing in a tournament
Zeron [#11]honestly i feel they exceeded expectations already once they beat edg. many expected eg to bomb out in playoffs cuz second place curse
yeah this is true tbh
cboomer [#12]see this thing where vlr users try to math wins like

wrong choice of wording i probs shouldnt have said tested

sorry boss
AstroGalaxy [#14]wrong choice of wording i probs shouldnt have said tested
its cool im not really just talking about you
everyone on this site uses barn logic to decide who's the favorite, instead of doing an actual analysis of what team is favored based on mechanics, form, play style, coaching, etc they just look at who has beat who and try to use transitive property
like if this were the case liquid would've been favorites to stomp everyone at tokyo
rekt1v1 [#2]them beating drx was the last test needed
bruv, that's playoff DRX. everybody knows that DRX flop on playoffs, they win 1 series at max and then get KO'd
bro if you call facing a top 3 team being tested that's crazy lol. They shown in 2 lans they made top 3 soundly. Who else can really stop them? What if they beat PRX tmmr? Instead of focusing on the team playing them, just focus on their teamwork and gameplay. This is top 4 caliber quality at least.

its Playoff drx tho who didn't look good against EG. The game today was more so DRX trolling than EG playing very well.

first lan they showed amazing potential but they did have a lot of momentum and confidence going in + teams trolled and picked fracture every time against them. EG have not looked as good as they did in tokyo but I agree they are a top 4 team for sure. It's just hard to judge if they will do well or not since they have versed DRX who always go out of form in playoffs + they trolled map veto and also they versed edg who aren't that good and then ALSO they had the easiest group and had close maps with FUT.
ax0788 [#21]Nope, they got easiest path to Upper finals. DRX/EDG are not even that good. FNC lost to a LOUD on form, and people acting like they suck.
PRX will mop the floor with EG.
"Edg will expose eg!"
"Drx will defeat eg!"
"They got it easy lolz"
laifu [#5]A red hot DRX that hasnt looked this good the whole year is a fluke?
Playoffs DRX is the weakest team itw. GroupRX is the actual good team.
rumbledink [#22]people are saying drx was the test, but i feel like drx trolled the map veto hard in combination with having an off day. Mako was exceptionally worse today. So yeah idt eg has really been tested yet
also DRX coach thought he was funny not taking a single timeout, bro was bribed
pickleguy483 [#28]also DRX coach thought he was funny not taking a single timeout, bro was bribed
bro wasnt bribed
bro got a booty call he cant afford being late to
pickleguy483 [#28]also DRX coach thought he was funny not taking a single timeout, bro was bribed
Paper Rex Paid them to Leak EG Strats!!
Compared to Loud, definitely? They had to face Fnatic and PRX back to back. If ur point is that they're not deserving of top 4, its obvious they are, the way they threw DRX around like a ragdoll today (same team that just 2-0'd loud in this tourney). Other than that, I wud argue top 4 in terms of skill rn are PRX, EG, LOUD and FNC

because people aren’t capable of understanding the game beyond
x player got more kills than y so he diffed him!
last time x played y they won so they’re favored!
