LOUD 2023 CHAMPS RUN
Let's go match by match
They were in Group of Death with DRX,TL and Navi
First match against DRX lost 1-2
It's DRX and they have insane stats whenever they enter an tournament so acceptable.
DRX was Top 8 team in 2023
Second match against TL the only team who defeated FNATIC in 2023 upto Champs, Reigning EMEA Champs defeated 2-0
TL was Top 10 team in 2023
Third match against NAVI won 2-1
NAVI 2023 WAS still good and they won against them
Close match though
NAVI was top 10 team in 2023
In playoffs they face FNATIC, the Reigning masters and kickoff winner and probably the best team of 2023
Won 2-0
Fnatic was top 3 team in 2023
Next they face Prime PRX, Lost 1-2
It was just PRX tournament. If LOUD would have faced same veto 10 times they would have won 6 times and lost 4.
It was just PRX day
PRX was top 4 team in 2023
Next they face EDG won 2-1
It was promising roster back then and they were up against loud
EDG was top 8 team in 2023
Next they face FNATIC won 2-1
Nothing much to say, FNATIC was unlucky to face loud twice in playoffs
Next they face EG and lost 2-3
Man they played so many matches and were almost on verge of defeating EG
EG was top 3 team in 2023
They played all above matches in 15 days which is lot
I think if they were little lucky in PRX or EG game I think LOUD would have won Champs 2023
Same goes for FNATIC, if bracket was a bit different FNATIC vs Loud would have been Champs 2023 Finals
But loud played 7 top teams in Champs and still had a very good run. Unfortunately people don't talk about the run enough

TLDR: LOUD 2023 could have won Champs if they had a bit more luck
