Nah i hate to break it to you but every team that placed above Fnatic at champs woulda beat them at champs.
Loud - Self explanatory, it literally happened twice. woulda happened the first time too if not for a historic choke/comeback.
PRX - PRX with something have outperformed Fnatic at every single tournament since Tokyo. You could make the case that they coulda beat them at Tokyo as well, considering that champs was only a month later and they got second and beat the team that beat fnatic twice (loud), and managed a close win vs EG .
EG - EG at tokyo was one smoke spam away from beating Fnatic in a bo3, and that was without like 2 weeks of prac with their star player, and while they were still on their upward trajectory, which peaked at champs and proved without a doubt that they were the best team at that tournament.
Finally, a team that is getting 13-1'd by DRX on their own map pick wasn't gonna beat any of those 3.
There is nothing to respond to, those are all hypothetics made up by you, the only team that beat fnatic convincingly that year was Loud (that liquid 3-1 was a bit flukey)
And its not like Im speculating, Derke himself said on a podcast that they knew if they beat Loud they would win champs and that they were aware that Loud was the only team with the potencial to beat them
claims that I'm being hypothetical, proceeds to talk about derke's speculation (cope) that they woulda beat EG and PRX if they beat loud.
Lets go through it one more time
The Facts
#1 Loud beat FNC twice at champs, coulda won the first time
#2 PRX with Something playing has outperformed Fnatic ever since (Champs, Madrid, and Shanghai)
#3 A fast improving EG came very close to beating Fnatic in a Bo3 at Tokyo even with complications surrounding practice with their star player.
#4 DRX nearly 13-0'd Fnatic on their own map pick at champs
The 'Hypothetical' parts
A. PRX could have beat Fnatic at Tokyo if they had Something - This plausible due to #2
B. EG would have beaten Fnatic at Tokyo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B is pretty obvious to anybody who watched the tournament, but since you wanna pretend we don't have eyes, lets look at it in more detail.
#4 logically implies that EG would have won, because it means Fnatic was playing at a level much weaker than EG, given that EG dunked on DRX
#3 logically implies that EG would have won, given that they already gave them a respectable fight when they were weaker and had prac/visa issues
#1 logically implies that EG would have won, given that Loud > Fnatic, and EG > Loud (proved it in Bo5)
#2 plausibly implies that EG would have won, given that EG > PRX, and PRX is at least plausibly better than FNC (see A)
Gambit were the best in 2021. Winning 1 masters and reaching the final in champions. Thats two finals, Sen only made 1
Fnatic were the best in 2023 Winning 2 events.
Loud were the best in 2022. Winning Champs and reaching another final
How is sen the best in 2024? They won one event and didn't even make the other. GenG have reached both finals this year and won one of them. So you're deluded
2021 GMB clears
2022 optic beats loud only cause loud didn't do well in copenhagen
2023 fnatic ez. I can see the argument for EG but they were not cookin at lockin and lockin grand final was the best grand final we've had in valorant even though I was crushed as a loud fan
2024 is GENG unless SEN win and GENG doesn't make grand final
