and the team is: FNATIC
imagine hearing all day that b0tster is the best player of all time?
any team has a chance to win, even the “worst” teams. i might’ve said it poorly but i don’t think fpx would’ve been the clear winner as alot of people proclaim on this site, i know i have an 0pt0c flair (12-5 washed billibilli saadhak 1v5 losing haven to gambit when they didn’t even practice it once cove cgrs shorty cauanzin crashes right click) but people shouldn’t be taking away optics accomplishments just cause of that, like i said they played against LOUD twice and won a hard fought victory
there's definitely an asterisk on reyk, but it's a small one due to what happened in istanbul (and the next year cuz the nrg core has been better ever since, even though they both suck now lol). Tokyo has a champs MVP and pacific MVP sized asterisk on it. And PRX has outperformed FNC at the next 3 events (even with the monyet iteration), so yeah, not a good look.
They got
13-1'd by DRX on Bind (Fnatic Map Pick)
13-6'd by Loud on Lotus (Fnatic Map Pick)
13-4'd by Loud on Split (Fnatic Map Pick)
and people still reuse the 'Only lost cuz of loud' excuse
The truth is all three teams that placed above Fnatic were better teams. EG especially was never gonna lose like that, and it's not speculation, it actually happened, they played those teams, we saw what they did to DRX, etc.
