Liquid - always gets away with everything though they don't really stand out and fans hyping them in lots of dumb way
Soniqs and Order - Soniqs and Order
They havent dropped a map in EA LCQ. Which consisted of all the teams not good enough to get to champs. Or even a single intl LAN. The only team there that had, NTH, drove them into deep fucking OT that they almost lost. If they struggled that much against NTH, who bombed at Copenhagen, what is PRX gonna do to them? FPX? OPTC? Your view of them is skewed since you've only seen them play against mid teams. In a pile of dull copper coins, a silver coin will shine brighter. But in a pile of diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, the silver coins luster will be duller than the rest.
3-0ing Nth is far from a loss. Also remember that Nth had a decent showing, beat Xerxia, had good games with EU teams, beat Zeta locally.
EDG is far from being the most overhyped team here.
You overestimate teams like FPX and Optic. Remember that Xerxia still has a 2-2 record with Optic.
DRX is scared of how Chinese teams play. PRX is still inferior to East Asia playstyle.
On a good day, Xerxia would have beaten FPX last masters, the game which happened itself was very close and could have gone either way.
Who knows where EDG will end up in champs but the hype is justified because they made it to the largest LAN yet with only a single opportunity given to them (no international experience yet).
ZETA
JP fans still living in Masters 1 live instead of facing reality that placing 3rd once in an International LAN is still not making their region decent and it's something that shouldn't be satisfied with. This literally make me respect APAC fans more because even tho PRX place 2nd in Masters 2, it's not something that both fan and PRX itself want to be satisfied with because in the end the only thing matters is winning the whole thing.
Can confirm, PRX 2nd place is still not making APAC fans feel satisfy since in the end it's still not the 1st place, even PRX players knew that. Meanwhile ZETA place 3rd at Iceland and suddenly JP fans hyping them up and treating them like some sort of celebrity with para-social relationship and thinking that JP finally not the weakest region anymore.
JP fans are definitely a lot more well-mannered then APAC fans though, I can respect them for that, just look at the APAC fans that choose to kick down SA even though they already know they aren't good.
Also where are you finding these fans overhyping their team? Most of the fans I've seen on forums don't hype up their region.
DRX - don't have to tell the reason
TL - as their name suggests - it's not a solid team , i hate their playstyle. I was a fan of them during Iceland 2021 because of scream alone. And i hate their fanbase
Floptic - i honestly believe that their masters win at Iceland is so damn situational . I wouldn't call it lucky tho
Acend - i can't accept their champions victory, look where they are now lmao . Trash arse consistency-less team and of course the clown starxo is annoying af
Sentinels - because of fans , Shaz , wackass, and social media manager
I don't like
FPX & their fans,
they act like they are the best team in the world (well, yes they are the best team itw lol) , cocky & very arrogant in my eyes (both team & their fans)
G2,
they are the reason why M3C didn't qualify to reyjavik
Liquid,
they always get away with only their aim
Optic,
fluke master. i don't trust this team. always get away because of yay.
Acend,
fluke champions. but now, i don't really dislike them anymore. (team is not the same anymore)
FPX - they are the best team since they won the last masters
G2 - if they beat M3C then they were better
Liquid - they play just like other teams they just rely more on set strats rather than mid round calling
Optic - wasnt a fluke win , whole team played great .
Acend - you cant really call it a fluke win since we didnt see the same 5 ever again after that tourney
Fnatic - I don't mind the team but the fans annoy me. Are we just going to forget that for a solid few months before Copenhagen, Fnatic fans were acting like they had already won Masters? The threads saying that they would own OpTic or Paper Rex during Copenhagen? Half the FNC fans evaporated after Masters and the remainder try to say that FNC are better than OpTic.
when boom beat ORDER boom fans were saying some incredibly racist things to wronski
just check the replies on wronski's tweet https://twitter.com/WRONSKIOCE/status/1538798681188880385?s=20&t=VYg6dK3Bc1dig9iQ2Ez8Mw
MIBR, because:
-Destroyed the brand of the former MIBR that was a legendary org and pioneer on brazilian e-sports (they were the first CS 1.6 world champions)
-The brand is part of an american group (Immortals) so made in brazil my ass
-bad decisions that ruined the career of a lot of promissing/legendary players on the CS competitive scene
-brought in Stewie2k and tarik for one of their lines, 2 NA players, shitty comms, so made in brazil my ass again (only got them because of a fluke major run with C9)
-go to international tournaments just to embarrass our country
-their val team is made out of rejects from other teams, the team is carried by the name of the org and by the impression left from content creators (and if you say they're bad, a troop of robots will attack you)
Sentinels: because flag
