Importance of confidence and form...

I think this is kinda key and a lot of what ppl missing. Looking at how someone performing in wide set of rank games leading up to a tournament is pretty telling also the confidence the team is riding. ATM I think SEN and KC are on confidence level high and their players been looking good. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those teams take it all. GenG is up there too but historically apac lagging behind. I think the other teams kinda not at that level of form/confidence yet.

If you look back at the TH vs KC opening day game, you can see the confidence from TH carrying them with Boo and MiniBoo. Confidence is one of the most underacknowledged aspects and is massive to focus on

anyone who unironically thinks ranked = skill on stage is just braindead

yes like if you want to accurately predict who wins a tournament need to consider confidence and the current form the players in. Not just history or past results.

not = skill but if you see the overall performance in rank leading up to a tournament its pretty important tell on their mechanical form. Obviously unless the player is always trolling in rank
