if u cant adapt to a new meta , ur not a top team. its not like riot are changing the game mid tournament or mid season
and teams can fluke a win or a tournament placement so this doesnt make sense
when a team gets lucky and barely beats a team in an overtime , or getting a easier bracket compared to the other bracket
ur talking as "fluke teams" dont exist
acend - lost to a bug and won rematch (yea it was easier but vk cheated???)
and vk lost to x10
acend them went on to 2-0 envy
2-0d TS
2-0d Liquid (best liquid form to date) and destroyed them 13-5 13-4
and won against gambit 3-2
u can get lucky with the brackets?
especially when riot seeding is fucked and makes same region matchups , cuz they consider EMEA and NA 1st seed and the 2nd seed from group gets matched with them
They put the regions together first round to prevent them from playing against each other in semis. No matter what regions are bound to play themselves so best get it out of the way in the beginning
yea imo no teams can win if they are a fluke team cuz u have to win bo5
but they can get top 4 or top 3 if they get a easier side of the bracket with 1 OT upset
