I don't know if I'm sad or happy
SH was a time that had potential, but LOUD retired them.
You can see that the BR level has gone up, but only for some teams, there are some who can't say the same...
they are destroying brazil even harder this split so they improved for sure but so did all of the world while the rest of brazil doesnt look that improved to me tbh, also not being able to scrim good teams wont make them improve as fast as other teams, specially in this meta that is very open with a lot of new things, maybe they could be behind meta in masters or something
ye but this is a whole new meta, masters 1 meta was almost the same as champions meta, now there is jett nerf + fade + sova nerf + raze meta + chamber too op, etc... and fnatic is taking advantage of that, they use fade so well, they will probably be way ahead of other regions in terms of fade usage and it will make a big difference, also you cant 100% learn new meta in 2 weeks
^^^ I agree, but honestly the way liquid played during playoffs was noticeably better than how they played this whole year
I’ll also agree that FPX and Fnatic are top contenders at the same level of the top 5 iceland teams (OPTC, Loud, PRX, DRX/ZETA), you could make an argument for why they’re just below these 5 just as well as they could be above them all, the truth is we have no idea so it’s just obnoxious to hear y’all keep riding them AFFIRMING they’re better, they’re not, they’re on the the same level, not above.
On the other hand, Guild and Acend are a LOT worse than Fnatic and FPX, like, just slightly better than G2 level, far from performing like the top teams, I mean, why are y’all dickriding Guild anyways? They won every single match in a shitty group and it wasn’t even in dominant fashion, oh and M3C sucks rn, sorry to tell you, they might just not make it out of groups as well
The truth is only Fnatic and FPX are world class in Europe right now, and that no show, it’s literally double the amount every other region has, but unfortunately this whole thing you guys keep telling yourselves that “oh, Europe has like 5-6 teams that can easily compete for the master title” is just far from the truth and purely hard copium inhaled in order to feed your superiority complex
