..on who's gonna win M1: Reykjavík, 2022

The Theory:

so the whole theory revolves around the Team Liquid, one important factor deciding the fate of the Grand Finals. Now lemme explain how-
(some imp abbreviations: KO= Knockout, GF= Grand Finals)
M2: Reykjavík, 2021- TL vs FNC | FNC KO TL | GF- SEN vs FNC [14-12, 16-14, 13-11, FNC almost beat SEN so I decided to include the stats]
C3: EMEA, 2021- TL vs GMB | GMB KO TL | GF- SMB vs GMB [GMB won and secured a spot at M3 Berlin and later won M3 Berlin]
M3: Berlin, 2021- GF- NV vs GMB [GMB won and secured a spot at Champions]
LCQ: EMEA, 2021- [TL won GF without losing any single match and secured a Champions spot]
Valorant Champions, 2021- TL vs ACE | ACE KO TL | GF- GMB vs ACE [ACE won the Champions]
M1: Reykjavik, 2022- TL vs LLL | LLL KO TL | GF- OPTC vs LLL [TBD won M1, Reykjavik]

The Conclusion:

After analyzing the previous stats, I can say whichever team shut the TL down has won the tournament in the past.
and by this, LLL should win Masters 1: Reykjavik, 2022. Although both OPTC and LLL are equally deserving for the title but I'm sticking with my cringe theory. LLL got this. GG.

Did not read+ GF= girl friend

I just think that optic needs to win this masters, because they can't get 2nd place all over again

Good analysis. Tbh Team Liquid is very underrated right now.

So whoever Knocks Out, Liquid, win a major?

Pushing to a few conclusions but yeah it's weird. Superstitions are cool!

Big if true.

optic hasnt fought liquid yet though

There's a flaw in your theory. TL lost to LOUD but they weren't completely out. ZETA was the one who knocked out TL. ZETA was the ones that should've won this major but sometimes the TL theory (?) doesn't act the way it suppose to.( like how Fnatic barely lost out of winning Iceland 2021 vs SEN).

Since SEN beat Fnatic, they picked up on the TL theory and then won NA stage 3: Challengers 1.

Now since OpTic beat ZETA, they have the TL theory on their side. OpTic should win 3-0 against LOUD but it'll be close since LOUD has beaten TL before.

it's a rematch from OPTIC vs LOUD though in a very short space of time, optic played terribly on icebox and will have no doubt learnt from their mistakes. I don't think LOUD will win.

W theory
