what's this 2nd place curse on eg they been talking about ?
every runner up has the worst performance in their next international event
(idk what about first Masters, i wasn't watching competitive but FNC didn't have a good masters 3 after losing vs SEN)
ENVY loses vs GMB in Masters 3 --> get grouped at champs
GMB loses vs Acend in champ --> maybe here not, they were so unlucky...
Loud loses vs OPTIC --> grouped at Masters 2
PRX loses vs FPX --> grouped at champs
OPTIC loses vs LOUD --> disband lmao
LOUD loses vs FNC --> grouped at Tokyo
EG loses vs FNC --> we are here 😳
a team who comes second place never does good in their next tournament
before loud at tokyo, no one made playoffs
2021 rekjavik: fnatic doesn't make berlin
2021 berlin: envy gets grouped at champs after losing to X10 (old talon)
2021 champs: gambit doesn't make 2022 rekjavik
2022 Reykjavik: loud gets grouped at copenhagen after losing to kru (and optic)
2022 copenhagen: PRX gets grouped at champs
2022 champs: optic disbands after coming second
2023 lock in: although loud gets autoseed to playoffs, they win zero maps at tokyo
