it's not a "generalized result'
on the contrary, it's a very specific analysis, idk what you're smoking by saying that's a vague thing to look at, the amount of maps they win and by how many rounds they win/lose maps by

last year's achievements? the word fluke exists for a reason. They achieved nothing both before and after champs. Even if it wasn't a fluke, this last LAN event is the most relevant piece of information to look at. Anyone can look at some team and reference a few good wins they had over some other teams sometime in the past.

"how many rounds they win/lose maps by" they lost a map after 3 OT cycles and a 13-10 against a top 4 Masters team (and possibly top 1/2).
And ignoring the fact that talking about "fluke" is a bit disrespectful, you can't call fluke to their amazing run, which was bc they played very well, and not bc the enemies trolled (Fnatic were at their best point at Champs, and GMB were incredible as usual, besides that Furia and Sentinels were not the worst teams of the tournament as well).
And responding the "Anyone can look at some team and reference a few good wins they had over some other teams sometime in the past" statement... anyone can look at some team and reference a few bad loses a well xD

lmfao XD what a joke you're saying that's disrespectful, achieve absolutely nothing before champs, get a few close wins, then absolutely bomb it right after champs, sounds like a fluke to me

Like I said previously, Kru had only 1 close map, the rest were all convincing wins by their opponents, and not just because opponents played well which you're acting like is the only reason, but due to Kru's bad performance which you seem completely oblivious too

"anyone can look at some team and reference a few bad loses a well"
it's not a "few" bad losses bud, look at Kru's history, an insignificant team in the international scene besides a few wins at champs XD

Bro what's achieving something for a "minor region" team for you? getting a win against a tier 1 world team? If that's the case, the only team that did "anything before champs" was DRX winning Acend at Berlin. It's absurd to criticize a team for not achieving something that almost any "minor region" team did. For me, KRU's Masters 3 run was achieving something: beating top 1 BR team and top 1 JP team, showing superiority against two regions with more slots at LANs and more visibility.
"look at Kru's history, an insignificant team in the international scene besides a few wins at champs XD": holy fuck, losing only against EMEA and NA teams is being insignificant for you? then make Masters 8 EMEA slots and 4 NA slots and fuck the rest of the regions

tf are you even saying? you're literally not using any logic or reasoning, just going purely off emotions.

here are the facts:
Kru did absolutely nothing before champs
Kru strung a few nice close wins in champs
Kru did absolutely nothing after champs. They couldn't win a single map. They only had one competitive map. They had a negative 21 round deferential in just 2 matches.

And wtf you even babbling about "only against EMEA and NA teams" and "make Masters 8 EMEA slots and 4 NA slots and fuck the rest of the regions"? Just this current tournament alone has shown that every region is just as strong and competitive. The top 6 teams represented 6 different regions. Tf is your logic that they lost to TL and Optic? Those teams both lost to other regions like sea, jp, br just in this tourney alone. Every team has the potential to beat any other team. Besides Kru ofc who were evidently a few steps behind the others.
