Its because this is beat for beat what happend at Tokyo last year. The rito script writters arent even trying to hide it. Nobody gives a shit if weve seen this same shit before.
Format is (Tokyo team/Shanghai team)
The team with the upper map ban is the team who got to the first upper final of the year, lost to another team to lose 1st seed, but still make it back to win upper final (Fnc/GenG)
The team that won said region underperformed and went out 5/6 to an Americas team (PRX/Liquid)
Said americas team ended fourth after losing to a sub (NRG/100T)
Said team with a sub is going on a run and will end top 3 (PRX/TH)
Not to mention the americas team that somehow miracuolsy made it into playoffs due to another team (MIBR/Loud) upset the best team during regular season (C9/Kru) and went on to go on a heater that no one saw coming (EG/G2)
Not to mention the trash chinese team that went out 0-2 (FPX/DRG)
T1 not making it to playoffs (T1/T1)
Aspas' team choking once again and playing terrible (Loud/Lev)
And the best team of last year choking out without a single win (Loud/Fnc)
There are more similarities but these are the ones which stuck out too me the most. What did I miss? Rito please come up with a new script for Champs please, I want to be intrested in games again
