KRU champions run (watching keznit play and them making semifinals was sensational)
Zeta reykavik run (alot of bandwagon was started cuz of this)
Envy berlin run (no one expected them to do that well also first time the world witnessed el diablo
prx copenhagen run (lot lower cuz they werent really all that underdog)
v1 reykavik run (no one expected them to do so well with a sub but lowest cuz they didnt do all that well

Edit: I meant underdog runs

Best team in the world at this point, didn't drop a single map at Masters, won the tournament and then everything turned to shit from there. Is that not the definition of a honeymoon run??

they didnt immediately turn to shit, they still won the challengers for masters 3

Yeah fair but winning domestically vs internationally is a complete different ball game. People thought The Guard were done when they dominated domestically and then flopped on LAN. By the way I am actually a fan of SEN so there is no hate coming from me

Crazy that you mentioned honeymoon runs without putting Fnatic, also I'd put Liquid after adding Nivera in LCQ+Champs

But KRU doesn't change rosters after every event. FNC got a buff after adding Magnum and Derke, after adding Braveaf, and then again after adding Alfajer and Enzo. They are the best example of a honeymoon team

Every Fnatic run was a honeymoon run
If they do -Mistic +someone cracked for Champions, they'll repeat once again

Mistic isn’t the problem. It’s iglling/coach as much as I like both of them. (Before someone says boaster is the the reason fnatic got top 4, I am not questioning his performance. His ingame performance was amazing) . There seems to be a problem occurring when there happens to be a time constraint, and that is one of the main factors to conquer to win an international lan tournament. They need to rely less on prep work, much like the system D00mbr0s and ANGE1 have for FPX. They had little to no anti-strat going into the final, they could only make tiny micro adjustments. D00mbr0s mentioned in the press conference: prep goes out of window for a 5 map game; they have to rely on on-the-fly strats, and key timeouts + improvisations to sustain the substance. Another dilemma for Fnatic is, crumbling under pressure, and failing to correct mistakes quickly for the next match. You look at Optic and how fast they are able to make much needed adjustments, it needs to be that way for us too.

Your team is dropping maps to TSM academy. Your region is never winning a major again, let alone your team

I’m pretty sure you’re concept of honeymoon it’s a bit fucked up. How is PRX a honeymoon I’ve they’ve been together since forever?? And same for most of those, if you wanna say something like that use another word cause that one really doesn’t work

bro its not honeymoon period, its more of a "underdog" honeymoon when there's changes in a team, or maybe they changes org, and started to do well, ur listing prx as if they are new team. (and also the other mentioned)
