EDG 2024 > GENG 2024

EDG won all of their regional events. Kick Off, Split 1, and Split 2. Complete sweep.
GENG won Kick Off, placed 2nd in Split 1, and then won Split 2

EDG got grouped in Madrid, 7th-8th in Shanghai, then won Champions (biggest event)
GENG placed 2nd in Madrid, 1st in Shanghai, then got grouped in Champions (biggest event)

Depending on who you ask, winning Champions and Split 1 together imo is a bigger accomplishment than placing 2nd in Madrid and winning Shanghai. I follow the logic that 2 Masters = 1 Champions when it comes to prestige and prize pool, and since EDG won their Split 1 and GENG didn't while also placing 2nd in Madrid, then EDG had the better year.

Any disagreers?

There is no best team in 2024, champs felt like the most coinflippy valo has even been

EDG at least needed a top 4 at another event

2 international finals and 1 win >>> 1 international final 1 win

I feel like you would be biased on this

yes, anyone with more than 0.1 brain cells will disagree with this mid ass take
edg farmed a farmer's league and bombed out of shanghai, only notable achievements earlier was beating prx in madrid
geng was consistently good and just had a slump at the worst time
regional splits don't matter at all in the grand scheme of things

comparing a masters and champions like its 1:1 is crazy

Literally what I said, there was no dominant team in 2024, they all had their flaws

1 Champions = 2 Masters still holds up, EDG > GENG

Ok true but 1 masters win and 1 second place at masters > 1 champs win

Bro do you think teams become significantly better just because it is champions the only thing different about masters and champions is the naming and the prize pool

you cant string the brain cells together to form an opinion on which team is the best of 2024?

1 champions is not greater than 2 masters, what the fuck is this insane recency bias i've never seen a case this bad

what does VCT stand for, biggest event of the year for a reason. Imagine saying MSI = Worlds in LoL, you would get laughed at.

I disagree with you. Also no Split 1 trophy for GENG.

I have 0 clue about lol esports and teams place the same level of effort on both types of tournament I do agree that champs is more important tho

yeah I'd rather not throw brainless arguments together on "x finals and x wins" are better than "x international wins." there is no conclusion to be made here, the most debatable year hence it makes sense to say their is no definitive best team this year

so you're telling me that you CANT string your brain cells together to form an opinion on which team deserves that title, got it.

edg didnt get grouped in shanghai they got 7-8th in playoffs

i feel like champions = 1.5 masters so it depends who you ask, but there's like two and a half good teams in china so me personally I think geng's year was better
