gambit did in fact win in an alternate universe

gambit did in fact win in an alternate universe

The last spider-man movie proves that

They won, d3ffo didn't whiff knives at 12-11 Icebox

Maybe bc they tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

Gambit were better than Acend
Acend just had a V1 run

They had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end it doesn't even matter

Yeah ive been feeling this way for a while now, I think its just that gambit seemed better in the series even though acend won. Also that hiccup with vivo keyd just makes the win feel yk less deserved.

But they didn't really fall at all, they really are up there with Acend to be fair. Either of them could have won equally.

1. VK scandal
2. TS had to play 2 matches on 24 hrs
3. Liquid had struggles
4. Gambit (yeah, it happened.)

Wtf are you saying, Acend looked way better in all the maps but Fracuture, they even hard choked Breeze

gambit looked shaky in the entire series while acend owned everyone

Either of them could've won. Gambit were not in their best form throughout the tournament but they made it to finals. Considering the KRÜ game must have been exhausting, maybe with an easier semifinals match they could've been a tougher opponent for Acend.

I'm not defending Gambit, just being fair considering mental fatigue and that long series against KRÜ must've affected them, while Acend just shitted on everyone on their side of the bracket.

FightWasTaken [#17]

better but lost? XD

NV also lost to V1 , that didnt mean V1 was better they just had a good run

ZoldyK [#20]

NV also lost to V1 , that didnt mean V1 was better they just had a good run

yeah they had a good run at that time because they were the better team, maybe acend will decay like v1 but for now u can't say gambit were better when they literally lost.

zerosh1ma [#15]

oh okay :D, rip chester bennington i miss linkin park :'(

me too brother :'(

ZoldyK [#6]

Gambit were better than Acend
Acend just had a V1 run

so acend had a v1 run in masters 1, red bull home ground and in champions as well? u so goddamn stupid

maybe its because of how hard they fought to get here. dont get me wrong, even though acend mostly stomped their way through, it wasnt any less impressive.

But having a long series against KRU is not Acends fault, just play better. Do you think KRU was a lot better than Liquid??

liquid is stronger than kru

kristof [#26]

liquid is stronger than kru

Exactly, that’s what I’m saying, they stomped them in groups

And okay, KEU improved, but not that much

Sprouts [#16]

Victor had Covid I guess

Ig, it’s crazy, they beat 5 of the best teams of the world and people still say this things.

When unlike Gambit that barely defeated the two SEA teams, VKS and well KRU (best match ever btw, but still) they had a super hard group

True, I don’t agree with people saying that ACE had a fluke run against five world class teams, just stating what that other dude probably would’ve used as an excuse

1) vk only won with cheats
2) acend also played 2 matches within 24 hours
3) liquid didnt have struggles(everyone can say that they had, losing team always trying to find excuses)
4) better team won in the final

Yeah don’t worry, I understood you man. Just saying that people is drunk in this site

Gambit 2-1, 2-1, 2-1, 2-1--------> grand final 2-3
Acend 2-1, 2-0, 2-0 , 2-0 --------> grand final 3-2

liquid with nivera defeated for the first time
gambit lost a bo5 for the first time in history

gambit played very well but if you open your eyes you will see that acend is a better team than them

Mortadelo [#27]

I know it's not Acend's fault, and we can't know if KRÜ improved enough to beat Liquid, it seems like they did to me but there's no way to know it rn.

Just saying it's unlucky for Gambit, it's not just "play better" every time a team doesn't perform how it's expected from them. There's a lot happening behind the game.

So u mean Liquid went from beating Acend in Redbull 3-1 and winning every aim duel in the tournament to being reduced to Scream and team wasnt a bad day ?

XITERR_ [#24]

maybe its because of how hard they fought to get here. dont get me wrong, even though acend mostly stomped their way through, it wasnt any less impressive.

That and the fact that their matches were (subjectively) better to watch than Acend's. Every Gambit win seemed like they were showing they were getting stronger and stronger, even if at the Grand Finals it wasn't the case.

ZoldyK [#34]

LAN chokers

that was a bad day for acend. acend 13-0d gambit earlier in the red bull home ground
also you said earlier that “NV also lost to V1 , that didnt mean V1 was better they just had a good run” , its also true in this case because liquid beat acend once doesnt mean liquid is better than acend, they just had a good run

Because Gambit for that 2 LANs beat teams from every region(EU, NA, BR, LATAM,KR,JP, SEA) and won EMEA and CIS before that. They are really deserve World Champs status. imo ACE most uncomfortable team for them, some sort of kryptonite. Even though if we will count all rounds in GrandFinal it was 53 for Gambit and 54 for Acend. 1 round diff, very close game.

gambit played very well but if you open your eyes you will see that acend is a better team than them

also Acend is only team that winning OT vs Gambit. They did it in reddbull they did it on 4th map aswell. They just have good reads and understanding how to counter Gambit and other EU teams, but cant do it with same level of confidence with teams from other regions ig

wym, gambit won

i meant not winning just a round, im tkn about winning 2 rounds in a row for closing map

k im just gambit simp

4) better team won in the final

1) VK would have won it without the cheats as well. If you don't accept that, than you are either a acend fanboy or just dumb.
3) How did they beat acend a few weeks ago than?
4) Even having lost that final, GMBT is still the better team.

1)well vk lost without cheats. If you don't accept that, than you are either a acend hater or just dumb.
3)acend had a bad day
4) if gambit is better why did they got 13-0d by acend few weeks earlier and lost champions as well?

Better question would be "Why does it feel like Acend haven't won Champions?"

kru won in my heart

Because Ur watching them farm made-up awards on platchat.

Acend won.

Let's go 2022

4) It's called "Turik ne v prioritete", which means "This tournament doesn't matter, we here for training"

kristof [#49]

no, u talking about acend cant do it with same level of confidence with teams from other regions

I think that he means that acend has better reading eu teams then the teams from other regions. And his point not about wining rounds

Just gonna put this out there: to be "Champions" you must win championships

sorta like to be a Doctor, you need a phd. ya no

Gambit are the team of the year that's why
