Everyone talks about the DRX 5th-6th place curse,
but Optic has a “curse” that I haven’t seen many people talk about.

Masters 1 Playoffs:
Optic vs The Guard (round 1 uppers): Optic wins 2-1
The Guard vs Paper Rex (round 1 lowers): TGRD loses 0-2

Masters 2 Playoffs:
Optic vs XSET (round 1 uppers): Optic wins 2-0
XSET vs Leviatán (round 1 lowers): XSET loses 1-2

Champs 2022 Playoffs:
Optic vs Team Liquid (round 1 uppers): Optic wins 2-1
Team Liquid vs Fnatic (round 1 lowers): TL loses 0-2

Any team that faces Optic Round 1 in playoffs bombs out of playoffs in 7th-8th place. If they take a map off Optic then they won’t take a map off the lower bracket team and vice versa.

Which so happens to be the 1st NA seed aka the 1st NA seed curse

I believe in curses but come on, you have to understand that better teams always win. You can call some teams achievements fluke but deep down you have to agree that the winner team was the best team at that time. After winning maybe they didn't practice as much or something else there are a lot of factors.

By this i mean that if a team loses they are just worse than the team they lost.

This is true, look at Sentinels and Acend

oh, this isn’t meant to call those wins a fluke or not, it’s just a fun observation. just like how DRX’s curse doesn’t de-legitimize those teams wins, it’s just a fun observation

yeah but people always said that 1st seed NA bombs out 0-2, i’m just saying it applies to teams beyond that and is more specifically because of optic
