NRG and NAVI weren't superteams last year. FNC was the only superteam and they worked out.

a champion - "a person who has defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition"
if someone wins masters (a competition), they have defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition (being masters)

ardiis and s0m were 1 for 1 downgrades
victor was a top level player in the system he was in but not necessarily a plug and play S tier player
Fns was elite as an igl but not as a player
Crashies was elite but 1 person doesnt make a superteam

Neither NAVI or NRG were superteams last year?
Superteams are created when you combine multiple big pieces from different teams into one.
NAVI kept a 4 man core.
NRG kept s0m who was unproven internationally at the time + the optic pieces were more of the support core rather than the star pieces. (still very good players).

FNC was, and they were a success.

you're kinda right

fnatic is also an example of a superteam that didnt work (altho they fluked 2 tournaments, later they proved to be ass)

11-3 fluke comeback with luck clutches (after reaching finals facing teams like 100t, furia and navi)

tokyo cos EG was inexperienced and Loud underperforming

take your meds.
11-3 comeback after nearly 3-0ing in finals (until nearly reverse sweep) having an undefeated run, not losing a map to a single team until finals ≠ fluke

also "tokyo cos EG was inexperienced and Loud underperforming" you are essentialy saying "tokyo because fnatic was better than the rest of the teams"
i could say "eg only won champs because fnatic was underperforming"

if you are being serious, look at yourself in the mirror.

literally all the teams besides loud they faced on lock-in had shitty performance the whole 2023 they had the easiest run and fluked that comeback cos loud players were under home crowd pressure

fnatic wasnt better than the rest, they couldnt even win EMEA league tokyo was mickey mouse event the only top team performing well was EG but they were inexperienced they only got play offs at champions cos they faced fucking zeta and bili bili on groups

ok first, please just write cause (not that hard, cos is not a real word)

second: they 3-0'd navi who also beat good teams
third: by far your most re*arded take in this entire thread - you are saying loud was under "crowd pressure", there are countless loud clutches where the crowd helped (eg. when alfa was behind saadhak on ascent). the crowd was also screaming for loud, if anything FNC was under crowd pressure.
fourth: fnatic was the best in tokyo, your point being "they faced billibilli" a team that beat NRG ("na super team") not once, but TWICE later in champs.
fifth: you dont mention how tokyo was a "mickey mouse tournament" you just instantly go to champions, which we were not even talking about. the run FNC had in masters was 2-0 NRG, 2-0 PRX, 2-1 EG, 3-0 EG.

I think NRG just needs more time to gel. They were very good at regular gunfights and trades, but their communication seems off.
