That is because anyone who watches EMEA knows that Gambit, SMB and Acend were really equal and any of the could have won on the right day. Its not like NA where Sentinels is the most dominant team and easy #1 pick. Also Gambit's playstyle differed a lot from their normal gameplay during seeding games. While especially Acend made a lot of dumb mistakes during those games. Like holding site 4v1 and then just taking 1v1s one by one for no logical reason and ending up losing the round.
.
Also we know that Gambit has always struggled in games that matter. They were even close to losing to Liquid. And their roster is young with really low LAN experience. SMB in the other hand suffers from the fact that they are still fresh team and we still don't know how they perform with low ping (most likely shouldn't affect much, but anyway). While core of Acend has stayed together for months and they even won Masters 1 as the underdogs. They can also struggle on LAN, but I'm more confident of them bringing their A game than I'm with Gambit and SMB.
unpopular opinion but i think smb is the weakest emea team. Yes smb shit on them, g2 couldn't win gun duels and nothing was working for them but if g2 work around their mistakes they have good chance. Some team play good against a particular playstyle or a team. g2 gave gmb tough competition, 2-0'd oxg meanwhile smb lost against both teams.
in theory for me g2 are 3rd. but they are taking way too long to reach their form we know they are capable of. the roster is stacked as shit, in theory they should be the most kitted out of all the teams. but they are not living up to their expectations. ik smb's motto is just "go kill" but it is working for them currently, so until g2 can prove themselves they will unfortunately be seen as a tier below the other teams.
