I've said it already that if Liquid wins it's good either way.
Why?
-
Fnatic needed a loss like this that will expose the flaws in their map pool and Liquid did a terrific job in Ascent, Haven and Fracture.
-
Composition changes, if you watched the grand finals, Alfajer only played KJ.
-
Individual mistakes; overheating after a kill, Derke playing close to smoke against ecos and dying stupidly.
Winning EMEA in the past didn't do anything besides breeding overconfidence and complacency so this is the best case scenario for the bigger prize in Tokyo.
