Was champs this year underwhelming?

Thinking back to 2022 with the optic vs loud, those matches were always stunning and had me hype. EG miracle run was amazing and fun to watch. This champs just didnt seem to hype me up. Maybe its just me idk

nah it was great

i wish Heretics won but it was easily the best final after lock in

its just u ... stfu

The GF was sick this time, but the rest of the tournament was a bit lackluster

The grand final make up for it imo, but yeah if it went 3 0 this champions is actually underwhelming

GF was the better than last year imo but I might be biased

The studio games were ass but this champs redeemed itself when they started playing in the arena

The Grand finals was great, love to see edg win finally but everything leading up to it was just boring as hell

yh the hype just wasnt there, a lot of teams didnt perform and we certainly didn't see the best games of the year

Because it was two dark horses that were in GF. No one actually expected them to be there expect maybe TH, but even then people counted them out after Spilt 2.

rest of the event YES, GF absolutely not

GF was great. The whole event? not so

walkout was very bad music wise ngl, shanghai and madrid clear w the GF walkout

I'm honestly glad EDG won, KangKang is just insane

Maybe, i feel like GenG not being here ruined the run for me tbh, was really hyped for them all year long

it's been a good year it's not that bad
i loved kc performance at start of the year
sen, geng, th, g2 performance overall this year
trace esports making 100% title rare × infinite

hype isn't there because old gods fell off
they have been replaced now by new ones

Oh same, EDG deserved this win, just wasnt really hype. I felt like there wasnt enough close games this champs, a lot of games had like a 13-4 score line. Didnt feel competitive enough

You shoulda been hyped for Sentinels being back then, honestly they kinda carried the storyline for most of champions to bad they will get hated for it still

the final couple of games were really good, Id even say playoffs past the first round in general. Only got to see 3 1é2 maps of final but was fun, though I do think the watch party played a big role in that.

atleast it wasnt as mid as ur team

It's a time zone issue tbh. Unless you stayed up to actually watch the games it's just not the same

I didn’t like the timezone

yup, my timezone was fucked for master's tokyo and so that event was meh to me but only because i couldn't watch shit. its no surprise people from america feel the same this time around when all they're really looking foward to is SEN anyways.

the grand finals matches was hype all the way to 5th map and on the game winning round where kangkang got 4 with a guardian he legit broke the record and stop heretics momentum. it was cinema
