you would think that after getting grouped in tokyo, grouped in champs, missing madrid, and missing shanghai, that navi fans would finally come clean and admit this team just isn't the same as they were in 2022
Event - cause
Grouped in Tokyo - EDG fluke ass game with like 30 clutches
Grouped in Champs - lost to 3rd and 5th best team in the 2 closest series ever. NAVI is still top 7 team minimum (NAVI > BILIBILI and FUT)
Missed Madrid - Team Heretics single-elim (NAVI still TOP 5 TEAM ITW)
Missed Shanghai - Team Heretics single-elim (NAVI still TOP 3 TEAM ITW)
Lost to TH dominantly at start of Stage 2 - Team Heretics + NAVI saving strats for FUT game (which is the game that matters for seeding) by not banning Sunset
NAVI >>> NRG in 2023

That is exactly why navi fans are actual fans and not "joke" fans like those of 100T. We keep rooting for the team we like irrespectively of their wins or losses. Simply because we like the team, we like the way this team plays and not the fact that they are winning everything. What's the fun in watching the team that wins everything?
