which tournament winner has the smallest asterisk next to their title, i.e. which one was the most legit
i say EG this year probably
fucking idiot
Tenz won that Tournament with 3 different agent jett/raze reyna
and unlike Eg or optic Sen won while playing against emea best team at that time
Eg=lucky that loud kicked fnatic into lower bracket and later eliminated them (EG won champ by slaiying asian teams only )
OP=lucky because ukraine war
Why are people so fucking delusional to say that any masters or champs winners are fraudulent, the only tournament that even has a possibility of an asterisk next to it’s name would be lock in sao paulo bc of single elimination and everyone having revamped rosters, but even then we can’t deny that fnatic we’re expected to win that event. Just grow up
First off something is not a top 3 player in the world yet, top 10 maybe but not top 3
Secondly just because one player couldn’t make it doesn’t mean that the whole tournament is fraudulent. When a player gets injured in a real sport and can’t play, the fans don’t call the tournament fraudulent, instead they acknowledge that it’s unfortunate and hope the next tournament the team will go even further
As much as I clown riot, they got it right with VK camera, people forget that riot issued an official statement after a team did this in TIER 3 on their official twitter account, effectively setting a precedent for future cases, Vk were lucky they didn’t get disqualified
Loud and Optic would have wiped the floor with fpx and fnc in Iceland 22 because of how far ahead of the meta they were, fpx won Copenhagen only because they were able to adapt finally
Again just because a few players are missing who should have been there doesn’t mean that the whole tournament is fraudulent, just means they have to try again next time
idk about the rest
even tho OpTic was good, they won when we didn't have FPX, remember? they might've beat LOUD on their first international appearance, but OpTic didn't play that well against EMEA (FPX was EMEA's seed 1)
EG won when LOUD kicked Fnatic out of the tournament. LOUD being Fnatic's kryptonite is common knowledge. it's a matchup thing.
a non sleepy/exhausted LOUD would've defeated EG also
