I've been seeing a lot of people get upset at others downplaying Masters Madrid as if its only because people want to downplay the teams participating in them (SEN as an example), but I'm here to remind you guys that no matter what team qualified for this event, the downplay is still justified for a lot of reasons.
- It is an objective fact that the Kick Off format should've implemented double elim for the playoffs for way better competition integrity
- It is an objective fact that every top 4 team of Champions 2023 are stronger than this year's top 4 in terms of form (GENG might be the exception depending on their finals performance)
- It is an objective fact that Madrid should've never been an 8 team tournament
