A lot of people creating imaginary superteams in this forum but have failed to realise that player talent pool outside of emea is simply just too little to create any team close to that of fnatic 🥱
fraud tournament or not, tuyz and cauanzin still made a grand-finals on their first tournament with almost 0 international experience, barely beating FNC
that's the point, you don't need to pick the best proven and experienced players to be able to contend for titles, just like aspas and Less weren't the best duelist/sentinel in brazil before joining LOUD

"Clearly not even trying at a major" is crazy cope
Otherwise agree but the levels of play are closer in the middle of the pack teams, not very far apart and it's completely up to map picks and who shows up. LOUD is very respectable for their past achievements but they played incredibly poorly this time.
I'm not a Loud fan by any means, and I dont really like them. From this tourney you could tell that they didn't seem to care. They laughed in interviews, looked bored, and yawned during games. Only Less seemed to care from the gameplay.
Not 100% certain, but I think that by being eliminated early, they could focus more for champs, conceal their strats, come up with new strats, etc.
Ig we'll see if they are just bad at champs soon.
You don't just throw a major like that with two guys hungry for the trophy to save strats. I agree they played off though and should've been closer if they hit the shots they were meant to hit and I do think they'll bounce back with such a bad result but imo it shows the quality of the other teams at Masters are closer to LOUD's level or above. It's hard to say by champs but I think they aren't really indisputably top 2 anymore, we saw EG and PRX have excellent levels of play and EDG/TL/NRG could be hot on their heels.
In the current meta they wouldn’t even get 13 rounds across 2 maps without chamber yay is just a great duelist that’s it not the best ir even in the conversation alongside derke and aspas and the 3 optic core members got defeated by prx without something and just torn apart by fnatic on the map they are supposed to be the best in the world on
The only person in the current meta that can keep up with fnatic is marved
Crashies once again struggled against Leo just like when he faced him last year when Leo was on guild
Victor struggled against chronicle again just like Berlin and was putting up much lower numbers despite him playing duelist both maps
Fns is on par with boaster in terms of igling but his fragging power is less and even more inconsisten than boaster
Like I said yay without chamber can’t keep up with derke consistently maybe every once in awhile but not all the time
And marved is only equal to alfajer at most and he is the best player in the current meta from that optic team
lmao that aint even that bad, dephh going to sen bc he was with sykko on xset. bruh dephh was one of the worst igl last year. crashies and victor basically being a package deal even tho victor is inconsistent asf and there r better flex players in na. eg still having cum bc he was there last year even tho trent is clearly better then that mf. istg there is so much more ex but my golf size brain cant think of anymore.
