fnatic lost to G2 3-0 at the time. they weren't nearly as good. the only case is FPX which again they lost in Copenhagen to DRX and then got destroyed at champs twice with their full lineup by DRX. it's extremely possible for them to have lost at Iceland as well, it's not some "free" tournament as people make it out to be..
not to mention I dont think FPX has ever beaten loud. which probably would destroy them as well.
either way. at Iceland chamber was more fullpower and optic had neon comps that no one else did. I think it'd be pretty likely optic would win but who knows
you can't just blindly say a tournament was a fluke because optic would go onto outplace them again at champs. but only Emea fans really say this anyways so :/
Yeah because Fnatic were mentally boomed and played like shit, while G2 was peaking with especially Meddo and Avova stepping up who normally were the weak links. I legit have comment before Reykjavik saying how I think G2 will perform worse and they did.
And I never said FPX would have won Reykjavik, but considering that both them and Fnatic, the 2 best EMEA teams were missing makes Reykjavik look way less competitive on paper than it would have been otherwise. That's like if NA in Reykjavik was only represented by The Guard, and LOUD had replaced Aspas and Sacy with mid tier 2 duelist and initiator.
And Reykjavik wasn't even as heavy on Chamber as later events and agents like Jett and Raze were still very relevant. Also OpTic running Neon comps might not mean that much, who knows. They were playing it on Fracture like DRX and played same Split comp as M3C with some changes obviously. But who knows. Full FPX beat DRX's Neon Fracture in Copenhagen.
