So, speaking from a tactical long term point of view.
Isn’t it better to do a slight amount of throwing at Grand Finals of your regions league?
This goes for all teams
LOUD/DRX/FUT/PRX/NRG/FNATIC/TL etc
Since teams today are getting the hang of hard anti stratting, isn’t it better to not show your cards so you can play them at Masters/Champions?
Sure you get the league trophy but does that even matter, the whole point of playoffs is to classify for Tokyo/LA, so why not sacrifice a small trophy for the big one?
TLDR: isn’t it better to save your strats for the big tournament when you are already classified instead of wasting it in your leagues Grand Finals?
