Madrid was NOT a fluke (and here's why)

Everyone seeing that Sen Geng kc whoever doing badly in split 1 and assuming Madrid was a fluke is crazy like those teams showed so much more, had less prep time for stage 1 (especially playoffs teams), all while other teams got to work on themselves and watch so much tape on the Madrid teams. If there was a 2 month gap between Madrid and split 1 then sure these teams underperforming would matter but cmon.
When shanghai teams lose in split 2 people are going to call that mickey mouse too and it will be just as braindead

good point.

Sounds like we should stop discrediting teams winning international LANs by using stupid reasons.

bro people assume they are doing badly in split it’s like only halfway through split 1. I’m sure all 3 teams will bounce back like look at the teams they are playing against for the next games all winnable games
