Is FPX a Cinderella story?

FPX were EMEA #1 last stage, and #2 of stage two going into masters. FPX showed continued dominate over EMEA, eventually losing in the Grand Finals 3-0, but two of those games where a 15-13. Coming into masters 2, FPX's main concern was not the competition, it was themselves. Visa issues helped stop their Masters 1 appearance, and it was again a concern in Masters 2. This time, 4 of their members - Ardiis, Shao, Zyppan, and Ange1 - made it to Copenhagen. Who didn't? SUYGETSU, debatably the best in his position in the whole region.

So, my question. With such an important player gone, would FPX winning (or making finals) be a Cinderella run?

Personally, I'd say so. Even though the team is adjusted to subs. Even though it's a top 3 EMEA core. Suygetsu being gone just does so much. A guy like that is irreplaceable.

Cinderella run from FPX? Maybe. Fnatic winning M2? Almost assured. All I have to say, is...

Zyppan
Go
Kill

I would say it isn’t, because FPX are such a strong team, even with a sub they’re still strong and people still have high expectations from them. If they win, it’ll be a major shock, but a Cinderella story is probably a term reserved for the truly unthinkable runs

No one knows. Depends a lot on the form of Zyppan and Ardiis I would say. Zyppan can be bit inconsistent at times and usually they have Suygetsu to fill that.

No

here list of excuse if FPX didnt win by EU :

When everyone is a potential X factor on the roster, like in FPX, anyone can step up. Anyone of those 5 guys has a case to be argued as the best player for FPX. Therefore, no. FPX are expected to perform decently, with a higher ceiling than someone whos run would be labeled as a "Cinderella" run.
