If they managed to innovate like every other top team at the tournament
Same comps, same strats, same pistols, same executes, same map pool,...
Blame is on themselves 100%
I might be delusional but getting top 4 when every other team knows exactly what you're gonna do is kinda insane. (they know which map you're gonna ban and pick, which pistol strats you're gonna use, which executes you have, post plant positions everything was old and used it felt like)
EG changed their Bind, Split, Lotus and Pearl and had the same amount of time as Fnatic after Tokyo.
Loud and Drx learned how to play Lotus from scratch (did have a bit more time)
Navi changed their roles up for Lcq and champs.
Paper Rex plays whatever the fuck they want.
While Fnatic still didn't find a way to even consider pearl or new comps or even new strats?
I know it backfired on Bind but that's 1 game.
