Is this actually surprising?

I think everyone who watched EMEA challangers saw that the level was a lot lower, I knew this was comming. If you think this is an excuse, I posted a couple of threads about this before the Masters started

level is def not "lower", other regions have gotten better also meta has changed. don't take away credit from zeta

emea is carried by russia, I think it should be like in league, CIS and EU separated just to proof the farse of eu

u literally said emea is worse trying to take away zeta sucess

Nah. Both Fnatic and M3C showed insane levels, but M3C got eliminated because they were exhausted and Fnatic lost their starplayer and Sova main who is also important piece. Liquid looked like shit, but improved for Masters 1 even though they got eliminated. Had to change comps on pretty much every map. G2 is still questionable for me, because they might just be on honeymoon period and especially Meddo peaked when it mattered in EMEA, but I don't know can he keep that level up. FPX is also big ? because they just rolled everyone with different lineups.

I think bad performance was kind of expected from EMEA. Considering that TL could have easily gotten grouped, but managed to pull it off and Fnatic was doomed since the beginning. G2 could do well or could do bad. Hard to say.
