This match turned out to be the deciding match as to whom qualified for the Champions!!!
Bro if Riot had above 80 IQ they would give G2 more points for 3rd-4th at Berlin than just 325.
It's funny how Fnatic BARELY find success in every esport this year - reverse swept 3-2 TNC Predator to qualify for TI, won 3 mega close 3-2 games in LEC lower bracket to qualify for Worlds, now this shit with Champions. I will laugh if they somehow go to PGL Major as well.
they did get through emea quals and deserved to be there and G2 werent even near so your point of it being less relevant doesnt make sense
you gotta give credit where its due for fnatic
and comparisons between 2 events with varied Metas isnt fair at all
maybe next meta fnatic might be a beast and show why they deserve the champions spot
Bro a event from a month ago should matter way more than a event that took place 5 month ago. Because that shows the team's form before Champions. In champions I want teams that are in their best form, not teams that are qualified for the form they had a long time ago. Now because of that one of G2/TL wont make it and both are better than Fnatic right now when it matters, because champions is in a few months, not 5 month ago
Team Liquid wasn't that strong. They didn't make it through week 2 and even in week 1 they looked pretty weak only clutching out in 2 last games against Fnatic and Giants. Also the whole Gambit game was choke from Gambit. They couldn't close out Icebox even though Jamppi was invisible that game. You still need to remember that they were the biggest chokers in the world before Berlin. Also their gameplay looked better in Berlin and isnt comparable to their EMEA gameplay.
I think its kind of insane that Fnatic will be there instead of both G2 and TL (or even SMB). Like they had amazing run in Reykjavik, but everything after that has been meh. Especially when you think about that NA will send teams like SEN, Envy and then like 100T/XSET etc. while Fnatic takes one of EMEA's spots. Fnatic could come back really strong, but the whole point system is really faulty in my opinion.
