last year there were three giants
Sentinels: Masters 1 NA Champion + Masters 2 Reykjavik
Gambit: Masters 1 CIS Champion + Masters 3 Berlin
Acend: Masters 1 EU Champion + Champions 2021
and now it's all taken off the stage. I don't think these teams can win anything this year. Their chances of qualifying for the champions are already very low. I think this year's titans will be Fnatic, Optic and Cloud9.
kristof [#8]acend and gambit didnt go to the first lan last year and both made it into champions finals
yes but last year there were 3 masters. this year only one left.
Not really. Sen barely beat Fnatic (14-12, 16-14, 13-11). Sen not exactly the only "giant" there.
Gambit was probably the only real "giant" looking team at masters 3 who looked definitely ahead of everyone else.
Acend also barely beat Gambit, who barely beat Kru. Again, it would be really bold to assume there were only "3 Giants" that entire year.

It's clear that I wrote according to the results. in a few years no one will remember how hard it was and they will only look at the results. And you have to understand that it's hard to beat someone comfortably. What did you expect acend 3-0(13-1, 13-5, 13-3) gambit? Of course it should be close.

Sen is 5-0 against fnatic this is not a barely beating

gambit were always shaky they barely beat secret, vikings, x10, kru and they even lost to 100t
figaroo [#12]yes but last year there were 3 masters. this year only one left.
both acend and gambit won masters1 which were regional tournaments. gambit and acend both didnt qualify for masters2 then qualified for the third one which proves the point of #9 what are smoking?
RGS_OnToP [#17]Sen is 5-0 against fnatic this is not a barely beating
yep it's clear that sentinels were better at that time
kristof [#18]gambit were always shaky they barely beat secret, vikings, x10, kru and they even lost to 100t
They almost won the two biggest LANS back to back. What do you expect in an international tournament where the best teams from all over the world come to participate? Gambit definitely was a giant last year lol.

there is no masters 1 champion title to lead them directly to champions. they only have one last chance left. and it's hard when fnatic, liquid, fpx, g2, guild etc. are good too.
