Trace seriously got so unlucky

G2 and T1 as both their draws literally any other first seed or 0-1 would have been a better matchup

i heard people where saying trace is like 5-6th best team in cn if that is true the league 2.0 joke might not be a joke anymore
cn 2nd seed always gets grouped by the Final 2-3 teams

i am biased to Felipe "Less" Basso and not a single other soul

I mean i dont see te beating sen tl or drx so not really unlucky they just adapted to the meta really poorly

not really tbh they just played shit
plus the g2 and t1 we see rn are so much better than the g2 and t1 we saw face trace

trace sucks anyways and picked lotus against t1, just active trolling

I mean, if they couldn't defeat g2 and t1 in groups, they weren't gonna magically defeat them in the playoffs. Maybe you could make the argument that trace is better than sen tho.

XLG is better than them. Maybe Nova

They just genuinely are, anybody that told you they are 5-6th are probably just actively lying to you or do not know what the fuck they're talking about

yeah idk wtf is this chinese region cope. I'm a fan of edg and cn but like they're clearly the 2nd place team to be able to make it. They not doing much internationally is still a thing. I feel like people need to stop coping with 2nd place getting unlucky... the bottom line is they couldn't perform when it matters.

nah stop coping cn teams need to perform when it matters that's all there is to it. So many times i hear them being "Unlucky". I just felt in general they showed absolutely nothing worthwhile of praise. They kinda just got run over. That's pretty sad.

Not unlucky, their map pool is shallow and they have a slight role issue. I'd say they are the second best team in China (XLG might be better, NOVA is yet to prove their worth when it matters the most) but their strats can't compete with high level teams. In China they're a great Lotus team, but on the international stage they got exposed.
