In the EDG game loud had moments of control that were mainly shut down by individual plays, whereas EG relied alot more on strats and coordinated util that shut down loud completely, not even giving them a foothold back into the game
I'd like it if EG wins masters for the extra slot but reality is Liquid have the better roster and have been just as good recently lol, 3-1 over fnatic is crazy no matter the circumstances and sayf statistically has been the best player of the franchised era so far
