Imagine winning every upper match and loosing bc you had a bad day man that sucks. I feel so sorry for M3C
bold of you to assume how the players are feeling, 2022 has been a tough year for all of the m3c boys. not having an org to back you, not being able to bootcamp appropriately, fully out of their comfort zone, etc - the mental effect this would of had on the players is incredibly apparent and faltered their performance. sure they're motivated but motivation isn't always gonna overcome these sorts of problems.
first off 4 months isn't going to solve those problems they were experiencing and im positive it still has lasting effects (maybe im wrong though!), chronicle's tweet (https://twitter.com/chronicleEZ/status/1558879869597089792) whilst i paraphrased it in my original reply, explains that they no had "sponsors, no comfort zone to train & compete with 50-60 ping against 5-15". sheydos' tweet (https://twitter.com/Sheydosk1ng/status/1558877894406971392) whilst not explicitly stating they was a bad mental obviously, unless you're blind, shows that this tournament had a toll on their/his mentals. you have to have no empathy at all if you're trying to argue the fact this whole situation isn't tough for them, i'm not arguing against liquid deserving this win im simply stating that it's quite obvious this year for them hasn't been great for them mentally. (Also they never qualified for iceland, that was fpx.)
Your take is braindead.
Having an org is a huge buff, you have better pracc and facilities for bootcamp, better team infrastructure, from coaching staff, analysts, phycologist, etc.
Plus you don't have to worry about income because you have a monthly salary.
Those are huge factors for a team performance at high stakes

The thing is based on how M3C played today, if G2 won yesterday against Liquid, they'd have won against M3C as well and it's better to have Liquid in place of M3C than G2. (Even tho i'm a liquid fan and i'm happy, i know for a fact that m3c is still a stronger team when they play together and Liquid played so well today especially ScreaM and Jamppi)
