Your logic is super flawed, C9 didn't qualify and got obliterated 3-0 in a lower bracket final. FPX steamrolled all EMEA teams that were on extremely high standards. Fnatic and G2 underperformed this tournament but during EMEA qualifiers they were a hell of a force.
Fr sure. We've seen Zeta defeat DRX who's arguably the most coordinated team. If liquid put that good of a fight then they were the better team, not to forget they had 2 players fasting for 20 hours while playing.
no, I feel like fpx might be able to get top 4-6 but like after that I really think the teams are pretty evenly match, its about stylistic differences, consistency, and which team can adapt the best.
