How did Acend go from being compared to sentinels as the best team in the world to not even being the favorites to make it out of their group in a few seeding games
Yeah so? No hate to VS i think they are really good but I also think ACE and SMB squeak it out against them. Im not expecting a blowout im expecting OT games and it going the distance, but VS is in the most dangerous group having to beat 2 EMEA teams. I dont see it happening especially when both SMB and ACE are first place contenders.
That doesn't mean anything tbh. Obviously everyone wants to play against them when they are THE Korean #1 team (from the beginning). Everyone wanted to play them in Iceland as well, but they didn't even make it there. Its more about their imago not about how they play exactly. If you look 100T new video for example Hiko predicted SMB and ACE to get out of groups and Asuna was thinking the same, but ended up predicting SMB and VS just because ACE lost map on LVP.
