No problem. Coming back stronger for Masters 2 and winning it. Just unlucky tournament with world situation. Or tbh those problems will likely exist even for next Masters, but we still have competitive full non-Russian teams. Luckily we have teams to pick from.
Eu On odd days - CIS / Russia is trash and they don't belong in EU
EU On Even days - OMG DADDY WUSSIA YES YOU ARE PART OF EU PLEASE WIN ALL THE TOURNAMENTS for us 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
-best team is not in the tournament
-fnatic with 2 subs
-gambit affected by war
-team liquid played this tournament knowing they were going to disband
-g2 is g2
emea lost one tournament and now everyone come out of the cave hahaha, the same happened last year and we know how it ended 🥱🥱
Copium, if EMEA is as dominant as yall say they are should all three teams still be in it rn? Only thing I will give you is that FPX is not here which is fair because it looked like they had completely pulled away from the competition
Remove scream and nivera from liquid let’s see what happens
Remove nukkye and mixwell from g2 let’s see what happens
Remove ardiis and shao from fpx let’s see what happens
I mean V1 last year had to go without wippie and still did fantastic.
Its not like the IGL was out, and they had really formidable replacements in the exact same roles. They even put up similar numbers.
wdym? vanity was one of the first strategic igl's and wippie was a sentinel/lurk youre a gambit fan so you should know that replacing nats would be a big deal
The meta was different back then though. Postplants and duelist solo plays were pretty much that entire tournament. Having a different smoker isn't going to have the same impact as if they had to replace Penny for that tournament.
under normal circumstances this master should have been played by gambit, fpx and fnatic. Emea deserved this performance, I agree that we have been very arrogant, but the truth is that the situation in recent months has downgraded the region
Hmmm EMEA not really dog tbh, the only surprising exit is G2 the others were kinda expected. Liquid weren't even suppose to be in the tournament, fnatic played with 2 subs, and FPX arguably the best EMEA team couldn't even participate here.
