why lock//in wasnt mickey mouse

single elim doesnt mean theres a fraud winner, only that there might be good teams which exit early or bad teams which go on runs, (talon, paper rex for example) but not bad teams winning the whole thing

fnatic won, fnatic was the best team at the time. loud were second best and got second as they deserved
drx and navi fell off but got second in their regions right after lock//in, showing that at the time the best teams got the best results

sure the tournament wasnt a good way to judge teams, as some teams got unlucky with their bracket position. the tournament did not have the same competitive integrity as a masters or champions, but if lock//in was a masters with a lower bracket i think the top teams would have stayed VERY similar

Any1 who thought Lock-In was mickey mouse is just mad their team didn't win.
2023 Lock-In was arguably the best VCT tournament so far

this why you listen to bladee while browsing vlr, so you dont get understimulated

yet somehow navi got 4th from beating shit TS Kru without keznit and Lev with tacoshitta? And NRG who were one round away from beating loud get 5-8th place? ok

navi also got second in the emea league which is a very difficult environment to get results in
and 5th place aint bad, worse than their tokyo performance but better than their champs performance

um. 23 emea was very easy to place high in. Navi also wouldnt have qualed to any event in 23 if it wasnt for fnc giving them the extra spot. In intl that year they won 1 game against TL who were ASS at champs.

navi played good at champs tho, got group of death and made it very competitive and enjoyable
