All of their good tournament runs have been when they are directly seeded into playoffs
In Champs 2022 and LOCK IN, they immediately bombed out at the start
In Champs 2022, they also had a LATAM, CN, and EMEA team in their group. They might bomb out again
KRU actually have a chance
Edit: also another thing I noticed
When they don’t have expectations (copenhagen, tokyo, iceland), they perform really well
When they do have expectations (champs 2022, LOCK IN, maybe champs 2023????), they underperform
