I mean bro the statement is obv no? Like if a team plays in a harder more competitive LEAGUE, it forces them to improve to keep up since the competition is harder and if they don't than they will be left behind. Honestly I think thats why EG is lowkey so good. They literally were playing the LOUDs NRGs C9, KRU, etc... They were be being challenged every week so they were forced to improve. Irons sharpens Iron. I mean EG beat C9 and NRG aswell.
But yeh don't get me wrong ur right. Had FNATIC played in AMERICAS or just in a league with harder competition it def wouldve helped them cause other better teams wouldve def exploited them on their mistakes and potentially have beat them more.
I was about to get on ur ass but then I realized u said Americas... and im an NRG/LOUD fan(nrg fan 1st though). I mean yeh they did really well but dominated is a strong word, i wouldnt say dominate but yeh they are insane.
Also why do you think it would be a convincing win, like im def not against the fact that LOUD can beat FNATIC cause they DEF can. But to say it will be convincing is kinda disrespectful to FNATIC imo. Like any team that can beat FNATIC in my head, it will ALWAYS be a close/banger of game. I don't think it will ever be like super super convincing like FNATIC straight up looked like the worst team. Their talent + strats just make it seem impossible for them to be convincingly won on.
But I do agree LOUD def have the best chance of winning against them I feel like.
I mean convincing doesn’t mean a stomp bro. For example NRG convincingly beat NAVI, they lost one map but other two were solid wins. I genuinely believe FNC is not as good a team as NRG or LOUD or even EG, but that firepower is just otherworldly. When you play a Bo5 better teams as a whole tend to win. LOUD firepower is also crazy and they are meta definers
ah I got you bro, ik what u mean now. Damn so you think a team like NRG/LOUD or even EG could like beat FNATIC like 13-8/13-6? Or basically not let FNATIC even get 9 rounds? I feel like thats my definition of convingly, if u can beat a team only giving them 8-9 then. Idk about your definition but in my head i just can't see FNATIC losing to a team convincgly but now that u say it lets talk about.
Their firepower is def insane but do you not think tactically FNATIC is up there with LOUD/NRG and i guess at this point as well EGs? I watched some of their games but not all, do they really get bailed out a SHITON with their individual skill or are their strats really good aswell?

just analyse how they attack in every map and you will realise Loud has way better atk while FNC is too predictable. Look ascent for example, the pattern of hitting sites is really easy to read while Loud is way more unpredictable. Loud rn has different comps comparing to lock in when they run the same thing. tuyz had no experience playing controller and in big events. Loud improve more than FNC in my opinion.
