Eu was in a slump in the iceland stage, but now teams have rebuilt and looking better and Hot take: But an EU team will Berlin cos sentinels might lack motivation.
Name the 6 teams... Sure any team CAN beat Sentinels like BBG but when it comes to teams having a decent chance at beating SEN. The only teams from EU are Acend, FPX and maybe Fnatic. I know you're probably gonna say Liquid, Guild and G2 but Liquid isn't that good and Acend absolutely shit on the other 2 and they(Acend) are around the same level as Sen. Sure if ScreaM pops tf off, or Leo, Sayf and Yaccine all pop off like they did in Challengers 1 or if nukkye pops off and Challengers 1 wasn't just a honeymoon phase from G2 they CAN beat G2 but I don't think any of them have a decent chance. While in NA, XSET beat Sen, V1 with their full roster has a decent chance(especially on Lan since their energy was only matched by Fnatic at Iceland). 100T has a decent chance, like in their recent game they took Sen to 30 rounds on Haven and if they pulled off Haven they might've won Ascent to 2-1 Sen. I would say Acend has a 45% chance, XSET has a 35% chance, FPX has 1 35% chance, 100T has a 30% chance, Fnatic has a 30% chance and Version 1 have a 30% chance. I think teams like G2, Guild, Liquid, Envy and the rest of EU and NA have a >30% chance to beat Sen(although I will say that the team that I didn't mention having a 30% chance or better that has the best chance would be G2 cause they have a great roster and if they gel together and are consistent than they could improve their chances against Sen)
FNATIC signed Sumn FC, the team that went to the final of first strike EU. Secondly, Fnatic entered Valo in February during the first stage of VCT. Third, they signed Derke and Magnum when they failed to qualify for Masters 1 and qualified for Masters 2. They have been the most consistent teams in EU since First strike and can definitely be called one of Eu's best.
They were, pyth only benched himself in the middle of June. This caused a cascade effect of mixwell picking up a new role and G2 wasting a week or two doing trials to find keloqz. G2 with keloqz and without keloqz were fundamentally two different teams as it wasn't a single player change, but it also made significant changes to the roles of other players within the team.
