It’s kinda crazy how bad some of the Turkish teams have gotten
Again, asides from Gambit, all emea teams underperformed. G2 went 1-1 against Sentinels (everyone acts like this was insane when SEN clearly were in deline) and then got 13-0'd. Acend lost to 100T. SMB did badly objectively. SMB definitely was not better than VS at masters berlin either. I don't know what are your expectations for EMEA teams, but saying they were better than everyone asides from other EMEA and NA, doesn't mean they were good. It is the expectations for an EMEA team to beat those other teams.
if we are talking about berlin yeah gambit was so good but i wanna ad that gambit only played at the finals vs good team, they lost to 100t but that was not something special "for me" that they are good (100t). In champions gambit was not that good i think, they played vs underdog teams in group stage and almost lost vs brazilian team (forgot the name) and gave all the teams 1 map. KRU was so good yes, they managed to win vs them but in the other hand acend was shitting on everyone and won the finals (acend 13-0d gambit too in redbull) i see so many vlr users saying "acend winning champions was fluke" it's not.
I agree that 100T wasn't anything that special at masters berlin but I just said it bc u said emea "smoked" na that event when in reality only gambit smoked envy. I agree about gambit in champs, they were already showing weaknesses in the other events like redbull homegrounds and they were shaky on champs aswell. Acend was great in champs asides from the first game which was close, but in masters 3 it was different
