2021 Best Team

Sentinels , Gambit and Acend all have good arguments to be the best

Sen dominated the first half with winning Regional Masters and Masters Reykjavík. They continued their NA domination throughout the whole year but fell off on international lans getting quaterfinales in Berlin and Grouped in CHamps

Gambit dominated their region with regional champs and challengers wins. They continued with a win at Masters Berlin and top 2 finish in Champs. However, EMEA is not like NA in 2021 and Gambit lost to other European regions like FNC. They did not make it to Reykjavík.

Acend proved themselves by winning regional masters and champs. However, they did not make it to Reykjavik nor win any challenger wins.

I think Sen might be the best still because they dominated NA but idk. Maybe international is worth way more than regional?

what

gambit is so clearly first

the KRU loss was a fluke, SEN wasn't that bad in champs

acend run was a fluke

How?

How

Team A:

1st place, 7th place, 9th place

Team B:

didn't qualify, 1st place, 2nd place

Team C:

didn't qualify, 5th place, 1st place

Blind resume wise what is the strongest? I personally value getting 2nd and not qualifying over getting 7th and 9th but qualifying to both

So the whole year is judged off of internationals only and nothing from regionals?

they were also considered favorites going into the reykjavík qualifiers (with fpx and guild (last one being a bit questionable) being the other 2 big names), but got absolutely owned by fnatic and liquid "creating" the postplant meta between qualifiers

Ya pretty much if you're talking about who is THE BEST.

Who was the best NBA team last year, the Bucks who were the number 1 regular season team or the Nuggets who were the number 4 regular season team but dominated to win the championship?

Fnc

Iquickscopei [#19]

Fnc

oh but liquid won regionals?

Gummybears [#20]

oh but liquid won regionals?

Liquid also didnt win a masters event
and Fnc didn't win champs
and Gamibt didnt win 2 events
and Acend didn't win 2 events
So what is this comparison
