Confidence boost sure, Offseason events have no correlation to actual performance in regular season Lockin was not an offseason but still talon looked like absolute beast and turn out to be 2nd worst performing team. Heretics looked like they gonna damage Eu in offseason event and we all know what happened same with 100T. When teams will antistrat you and you don’t have suprises to pull it is a different ball game and can turn out anyway + transfer window is not even closed any team can pull out a demon1 Top2 is open ground.
So becoming that annoying sen fan once again to be humbled later is not good claiming Madrid just because of offseason is wild
well it depends on the tournament, and what happens in between. teams go downhill for a variety of reasons, had 100T remained in the same form they played at homeground 2022 then they would've done very well at lock//in and the season. however, mainly due to sgares leaving the team, they were not in the same form and so did not win. sure, teams do not necessarily try AS hard, but anyone with an ounce of understanding on what makes pro-teams good can see that SEN dominated pretty difficult competition. it's nothing to do with antistratting, the conditions will be the same at the start of the season next year as they are now. most of what won SEN this tournament was not "surprises" rather good synergy, teamplay, everyone being in form (something that we should trust will continue, given the calibre of their players), few mistakes and literally pioneering the development of the new breach meta on sunset lol.
