That team had

They literally pushed Prime FPX to 3 close maps while having internal issues.
VLR dementia moment lmao
Literally every other pro/team was always talking about how stacked they are and shit before the war happened.
Ardiis literally said it himself, FPX's prime was during Reykjavik qualifiers, they domed every team in scrims even OPTIC to the point that FNS was calling them clear favourites to win Reykjavik
Covid excuses for 2021 teams lmao
Gambit had nAts playing with covid too. Plenty of teams played with covid, Fnatic literally used to have players playing with covid every event lmao
OPTIC played with their 5, that's all matters, acting like they had a chance against any EMEA team is delusion at best, especially when they were EMEA bitches for their entirety of history
People give a lot of credit to the players and even coaches but they always forget the Org.
Gambit Esports always used to turn mud into gold, they had a crazy practice routine and a way of doing things. Their CS team that won the Major, or even their academy CS team that naturally leveled up with tier 1 CS teams purely coz of their talent etc are a great example of that.
Riot will empower everyone and everything but they don't do shit for CIS, even CS( A Euro heavy competition) has moved on.
10/10 times none of these Gambit players become complacent if CIS was still around coz they would've gotten replaced in a blink, it was that crazy
