it'll be undeniable that emea is dead kekw
EMEA looks a lot better than last year, TH and KC have lots of potential and looked great for having players that have just started playing together that were not even tier 1 players beforehand, despite that they TH almost beat SEN and KC almost beat the champions runner ups, give them time and experience and they will be even better. We know NAVI and FNATIC are good (more so FNATIC) and we got dark horses like FUT and VIT that look like given some time can be fighting for the top spot in EMEA.
Also the season has started not even a month ago
Realistically, fnatic should NOT drop more than ~15 rounds. boaster said he feels confident they can beat both geng and sen (imo both decently better than heretics), and heretics literally have 2 subs and are still a rookie team. if they lost it would be as surprising as dfm 2-0ing someone like nrg LOL (but I would love to see it)
