EDG 2024 > GENG 2024

#1

sensucks

EDG won all of their regional events. Kick Off, Split 1, and Split 2. Complete sweep.
GENG won Kick Off, placed 2nd in Split 1, and then won Split 2

EDG got grouped in Madrid, 7th-8th in Shanghai, then won Champions (biggest event)
GENG placed 2nd in Madrid, 1st in Shanghai, then got grouped in Champions (biggest event)

Depending on who you ask, winning Champions and Split 1 together imo is a bigger accomplishment than placing 2nd in Madrid and winning Shanghai. I follow the logic that 2 Masters = 1 Champions when it comes to prestige and prize pool, and since EDG won their Split 1 and GENG didn't while also placing 2nd in Madrid, then EDG had the better year.

Any disagreers?

yeah I'd rather not throw brainless arguments together on "x finals and x wins" are better than "x international wins." there is no conclusion to be made here, the most debatable year hence it makes sense to say their is no definitive best team this year

Bro do you think teams become significantly better just because it is champions the only thing different about masters and champions is the naming and the prize pool

what does VCT stand for, biggest event of the year for a reason. Imagine saying MSI = Worlds in LoL, you would get laughed at.

yes, anyone with more than 0.1 brain cells will disagree with this mid ass take
edg farmed a farmer's league and bombed out of shanghai, only notable achievements earlier was beating prx in madrid
geng was consistently good and just had a slump at the worst time
regional splits don't matter at all in the grand scheme of things

1 Champions = 2 Masters still holds up, EDG > GENG

i feel like champions = 1.5 masters so it depends who you ask, but there's like two and a half good teams in china so me personally I think geng's year was better
