all the tier list i see have them very low and a lot of pickenms dont have them qualifying to tokyo playoffs, why are they so slept on? i think they will make it to semi finals minimum
I feel like they have to be more consistent.
It is just unacceptable to be stomped like this so often:
upper semi-final
lost 13-1 and 13-2
lower final
13-5 and 13-5

I had them as a top 8 team, but their bracket is iffy. EG are a lot stronger now with Demon1 back, ASE are (in my opinion) the coinflip of all teams in Tokyo, and DRX are not going to lose to them.
Fut is another kind of coinflip team, they (in all their 2023 series) have had 4 matches go to three maps. Out of 16 matches. Of which they went 9-7. They either win or lose. I think it's a byproduct of Turkish teams in how they are exceedingly momentum driven. If life just pops the fuck off, like he has in china, then he could ruin Fut's momentum.
EG and DRX are also going to counterstrat the ever living hell out of their maps. Demon1 really fucks it all up for Fut, but I'm still hopeful for them.
