tokyo - shanghai parallels

notnorte

am i tripping or are there a lot of similar with tokyo and shanghai?

LOUD came into tokyo as heavy favorites (lock in finalist and won their region unlike fnatic) but bombed out just like PRX this tourney
top 3 is a team with a sub, (prx/th) a ridiculous NA team that gets doubted with every match, (eg/g2) and a powerhouse that looked good pre-tourney but weren’t overwhelming favorites to fully take the trophy until now (fnc/gen)

am i cooking or should i delete my account

Yeah but everyone called it a fluke and no one thought tl was a genuinely better team
