Now that we've seen what the level of play is in Shanghai, what's the verdict? Is Shanghai a michael mouse?

No such thing as a Michael mouse. If the level of play is low, that means that the level of play among the teams that failed to qualify is even lower.

there is such thing, because i can probably name 10 teams that would have performed better than china this event. teams also miss events for all sorts of different reasons like FPX at Reykjavik 2

If having shitty Chinese teams makes the event Mickey Mouse that means that every event is Mickey mouse

i mean thats not even far from the truth, having a quarter of the teams in an international event being at a tier two level compared to all the other regions just feeding wins to teams. TH are only where they are after beating all 3 free chinese teams. if thats not the definition of mickey mouse idk what is

No the only recent Michael mouse was Madrid ..

The one thing fraudulent about Shanghai is how Emea got to play all the Chinese team to inflate their stats. Without those matchups they would already be eliminated

Madrid wasn’t Mickey Mouse this is the biggest cope ever. If the teams that missed the event were good enough to be in the event, they would have qualified.

Every tournament besides first strike is a michael mouse/low quality/bad trash dogshit.

Team you like loses? MICKY MOUSE!

Team you like doesn’t qualify? MICKY MOUSE!

One match is kinda boring? The whole tournament is Mickeys magnum opus!

I would argue it's best described as a clown fiesta. Very few teams are playing at their best and the few that are are barely have to do anything new as the other team is racing to lose. Only team who has looked competitive every game imo is GenG

Definitely lower than average competition. Heretics got a sub, a bunch of last splits teams got boomed because of a brutal schedule, and some teams qualified over better better teams. Calling it a mickey mouse is dramatic, tho. There are enough good teams that the results are definitely still meaningful.
