Overhyped teams going into champions

#1

KoreanOverlord

FS, good team but the APAC LCQ competition was poor asf, Damwon, PRX, F4Q, NTH none of these teams had enough time to prep for LCQ because they went to masters or they were called up last minute. So some hopes for them but they arent beating C9 or VS.
Vivo Keyd, this team lost to KRU, sure they upgraded their firepower but u really think they improved to the point of being able to beat top 8 teams? Also the scrim hype is also ridiculous, from what I heard Vision Strikers have been DOMINATING scrims (even masters 2) yet no one talks abt them because we dont overhype our teams.
Fnatic, everyone thinks they will do badly, but thats still underselling how bad fnatic is rn. 8th place in their last two tournaments means they have no chance at winning a series at champs. I honestly think FS will beat them. And I saw some people saying they will be finalists so good riddance to them.

Nats, will be much more easily read this tournament and his lurks won’t be as effective

I think Gambit is quite overrated in general. It's as if they just slowly walk around the map for control then have nats lurk and pick up easy frags. I think they could be easily countered

nAts just doesnt have to lurk as much as last time and all teams playing against gambit will always have to be paranoid about a potential nAts lurk which will certainly affect their site holds. nAts is smart enough to adapt to reads by the enemy team

That's what he did against Gydom Galva and OBG back in the days, wait for Berlin and don't try to bring the results of irrelevant tier 2 tournaments just because they knocked out your favourite team from the previous lan.

Heat injury played out a great role in KRU match, his wrist was hurted and even him apologised for not beeing able to play like he did before after the game, with the "isn't a excuse, sorry guys", if he comes 100% KRU will be dominated by him, and if mw plays well it will be a great show.

Sure I believe in the heat injury, but I dont believe in VK scrimbux

The same people saying VK are dominating scrims are the same people saying Sharks were dominating scrims during their bootcamp

And its not that I think VK are just good at scrims and not good in competition, I think they arent that good in scrims to begin with and its all fake news, 1 person from a team like navi doesnt tell me VK has been beating teams like Guild

Murizzz is kinda the inteligent player, the igl of the team, i trust in him to play good because of his great players alongside and his Mwzera boost, so is very likely looking for an perspective of the Brazilian cenary that VK will do good at an tier B level.

If Furia is doing bad is probably because of the lack of experience, or they are hiding game and tactics like they like to do because Xand is kinda the sneaky type of player. They did this only to destroy Australs after in LCQ, so even if they do bad or good Furia will be on the logic side.

Agreed with almost everything, but i do see people hyping VS a lot and FNATIC isn't in good form but they are still an EMEA team and dangerous if Derke shows up.

FS are a good team, they just got unlucky grouping with c9 and vs. Put them in vivo keyd group and fs makes it out easy.

No one is overhyping VK your 3head, people just want Brazil to play well this time to increase competitiveness and make the tournament more fun to watch, no one ever said that VK is dominating in scrims, but now they are doing good practices against really strong teams.

Id say that people are overhyping VK a little. I hope they do well, but predicting them to beat Ace is a bit nuts.

Edit: Predicting an upset over Ace is completely reasonable though.

You got a bit overheated, but I understand your points. I would like to say that I also think there's some overhyped teams in Champions, but I don't think the ones you've put there are even that hyped.
In my eyes, Cloud 9 Blue might look poor at Champions, not because they're bad, but because they've yet to prove consistency (same with FS, but nobody is saying FS is beating VS, which in my eyes, is as unlikely as anyone in group D beating VS).
Team Liquid is also in the same bracket, they looked quite good from what I saw in EMEA LCQ, but can they prove that same level of play against better opponents?

Didn't see anyone overhyping VK.

Also, this forum has a lot of people just joking aroung saying stuff to bait or troll, you should be a little more critic of what you read.

Well the new "Nuturn Gaming" and "heyoni" were kinda overhyped in LCQ but they kind of flopped badly so idk about that "We don't overhype our teams", cause you got only one team in Champions which is still overhyped.
And also, Heat was overhyped in Berlin but he did stood his ground and came out to be as one of the best.

I probably sound like an NA fanboy but I truly think that Fnatic's spot would've been much better gone to 100t (with steel)

Sentinels will choke (i just hope they don't and win the champions).
Envy will play better.
x10 will win 1 match
fullsense will upset team in there groups.
Fnatic will try very hard but will fall short
C9B will choke and will stay alive in lower bracket.
TL without nivera (reportedly covid +ve) will be the same as it was in iceland

Fnatic didnt really step up for many months, they need to switch some players.
The chance of winning one Bo3 is close to zero but who knows miracle is possible !
