Now that FPX went out 4th and PRX didn’t even make it of groups no one is calling Copenhagen a fluke. Why? Well you see every region but EMEA aren’t sore losers. When we lose we take our L’s and move on. When EMEA loses it’s a fluke tournament. I remember when Loud lost in group stage of Copenhagen every EMEA fan called Reyjavik a fluke. What now?

Linear
Because unlike optics third place fpx in fourth actually had competitive and we'll played matches. Placements have absolutely no bearing on how good a team actually are, it's the actual match itself and how the team plays that dictate how good of a team they are. Fpx literally played the best map against drx. Literally at a skill level we almost never see in vct whilst optic really just played like dog water in Copenhagen and fluked it to third. Also their only first place was in a tournament where the strongest region didn't have it's top 3 reps
worst take
Guild sent optic to lower brackets immediately in copenhagen, they beat LOUD and went straight to 3rd place from there
Reykjavik XERXIA knocked them to lowers instantly and they came back and won
now they are coming 2nd 1st in the biggest tournament of the year
theres no way you think optic is a fluke team when they've consistently been top 3 every lan this year and 2nd at berlin.
oh and they finally beat an emea team to get there!
