2023 NRG:
A team who knew how to play near or at their ceiling, but whose ceiling was on par with the average form of more stacked teams.
A team that needed to peak to come close to winning a masters
2023 TL:
A team with an insanely high ceiling due to the individual talent they acquired, but who were unable to ever come close to reaching that ceiling (except vs Fnatic) due to chemistry issues and occasionally bad calls.
A team whose peak could've made them world champions
Bonus: Fnatic
A team with an insanely high ceiling, good chemistry, and good strat-calling. Even when calls were bad, even a fraction of their ceiling in terms of performance can rival some of the best teams in the world.
