couldn't watch any of the emea matches. can somebody explain to me why the favorites lost: favorites looking bad or underdogs looking amazing?
Gambit - played pretty well, but looked little lost on Icebox (attack especially). And Fracture was just chaos and duels from both teams.
FPX - actually looked pretty good. Their individuals were winning duels and their teamwork looked good. Looked promising.
Guild - looked good. All of the players were playing really well individually and as a team. Russ was popping on Breeze, Koldamenta on Fracture etc.
Acend - had rough attack on Split, but made comback on defense really good Omen Split gameplay. On Breeze they were playing Kiles on Astra and cNed on Chamber and that wasn't really working. It wasn't bad bad, but Guild with more traditional Jett comp were just better. On Fracture Acend just went crazy mode and played cNed Chamber, starxo Jett comp and it looked really bad from them.
But all in all both Gambit and Acend still looked good, but weren't having their strongest games and both FPX and Guild looked good and promising.
