If it weren't for the Ukraine-Russia war, OG FPX would have won Reykjavik 2022 and would have become the first ever team to win consecutive events before FNC did in 2023.
they could but it was made nearly impossible
they were allowed to play on the like the very last week before playoffs
this means 2 things. they had a game every day of the week and also they had not scrimmed games prior to their first match https://www.vlr.gg/event/matches/854/champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers/?series_id=1670
optic was the best team in the world during that event and i dont think there is any arguing that. yeah chet and yay have their issues now but chet had a understanding of the meta no one else did and yay was by far the best chamber
they played against chamber and played with chamber better than anyone else and fpx in their state even if they were at that event wouldnt have been able to beat them
