It's obvious that this Champs playoffs teams ARE not what we expected or wanted. Top teams like GenG and PRX are out but we have Lev and even TE in the mix. Drx remain as Pacifics last hopes when Sen already proven they can beat Pacifics best. G2 are arguably the most consistent and well rounded team in the league (ok maybe except Icy) and while I believe LEV stand a decent chance, They have been choking in international events... As much as I hate the SEN glaze, I can't deny how good they looked against GenG finally getting all the wheels turning and working out agent comps. If SEN can keep it up...(and lose upper finals lol) I believe they got a good shot against G2 and LEV. BUT TRACE ESPORTS TAKING THIS WHOLE EVENT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPT SO WHO CARES.
Is playoffs a Sen and G2 Sweep?
catNmouse [#2]G2 has TH and FNATIC on their side who as very good teams, so i wouldn’t say it’s a sweep for them
Fair points- I do believe Fnatic have a great chance at taking it-- but I just don't think they look as good as G2 or SEN atm- And TH are throw gods

I don’t think G2 can take on FNATIC on Haven, they’re always stuck to perm banning Sunset. If G2 take haven they win that series, if they don’t it’ll be much harder
Also G2 and TH are both BO5 chokers
catNmouse [#8]unfortunately your flair clears TE 💔
just a map veto diff :(( te go on a lowerbracket run dw
lakpx [#7]no? u can't just count out heretics especially since they just beat geng. Heretics problem was miniboo confidence being so low and after that he probably got it a bit back. His main problem is just doing very stupid things which can easily be avoided.
I do believe TH are a strong team I'm just not very sure how they do in BO5 or against DRX, SEN, G2 or FNATIC- even if people say this Champs teams are a joke-- double Elim is a brutal format.

also I don't rly get the "bo5 chokers" point you are making in ur replies. You can't just write a team off based on that.

they will do just fine atleast what they can do to their max potential I feel like the team have worked on maintaining the gas in bo5s
donkkomong [#12]PRX was not good this year
up until shanghai I would say they were. it's crazy they went from majority favourites of shanghai to this. it's sad

yeah it was actually heretics who broke geng, and sen just finishing them, sen played great but there's another factor

Its not that I'm really writing a team off in that regard- it's more that IF a team is in that situation, I don't know if A. Their map pool is good enough or B. I don't know if they can last that long/lose communication and overall game sense the further the game moves. I think Madrid was the perfect example of losing steam throughout a BO5- unable to keep momentum throughout the last 2 maps losing by more than anyone expected considering the former match up. It's not that I don't believe Team Heretics can win Champs, It's honestly more idk if I can trust miniboo for that long lol
donkkomong [#12]PRX was not good this year
I personally think PRX has to just stick to a lane. They keep trying to play more discipline or change between slow rounds and W gaming rounds. This is PRX, this is the team that pulled out Astra on breeze during Finals. They got to stop playing to win, and stick to what they are.

G2 owns Team Horrible and Shitnatic in bo3s. Should be a easy trophy for them

lakpx [#19]good thing bo5 exist and th slapped g2 around in that
