Who cares lol, KR VCT is a fight for the second place, DRX is just so much ahead of everything else

Thats what happens when a region gets one slot, one team gets alot of exp, then goes back to home region and dominates, then back to Masters again

That's something I actually didn't think of, and you're probably right too. Explains why KRÜ are also the only team from LATAM to keep qualifying for Masters. Doesn't necessarily explain Crazy Raccoon though.

Felt like CR didn't have the game plan that could improve over time and exp in 2021. While Zeta has crazy strats, mental buffs, eco plans, and a great IGl who understands the game with a staff that tries everything to antistrat.
Balla said that Zeta were the best team in Iceland and it was their map pool that were weak, which I agree with

Agree for the most part, but also Balla is known to be biased and has some pretty bad takes, I wouldn't agree with this one either. I think it's evident that OpTic DRX and LOUD were the best teams in Iceland, and if I had to choose one, it would be OpTic over ZETA.

I agree with him because their game plan was the best imo and they got so far without having Dep not come online at all. I think they anti stratted great against PRX and DRX. They also fucked the map veto against Optic.

I can agree with that last part, huge blunder to pick Fracture into OpTic for your first map pick.

For PRX, I think ZETA were always going to win, just because PRX's game style heavily punishes unprepared teams that can't adapt midgame, something that G2 has due to regional differences and Guard due to inexperience (and if it happens I think Guard will win a rematch).

I can't really say for sure if DRX lost just because ZETA antistratted them because while ZETA were the only team to win a DRX postplant round, DRX surely had a fucked mental after the OpTic loss the day before.

I'm a little bias here but I don't think it was as decisive for zeta to beat PRX like you're saying. IMO PRX can beat anyone if the team isn't ready but that doesn't mean they always will and I think there tends to be more variability in what the result could be versus PRX.

I mean maybe, yeah. I've said it a hundred times though that PRX feels like the gatekeeper team. Any team that has good adaptability will be able to beat PRX, but teams that are unprepared or inexperienced or lack that ability to be flexible will get rolled. That's why DRX beat them, and I think teams like OpTic would have beaten them too.

To me DRX is the only team that can consistently beat them due to both experience and playstyle. I think Optic could too if they did a lot of prep. However, from what I've watched I wonder if the way EU teams play is going to be able to beat PRX. They always play slow and PRX just gets so much control and they eventually just start bashing their heads into a wall against f0rsaken's op.

Cry is free. Can’t accept the fact that Korea is a one region team.

fr didn't even know top 4 got to challengers 2 cuz they don't say anything. Tiebreaker soon too but good they are giving this award to the top players. Interesting that with the most korean teams signed up ever they are essentially fighting for the fewest spots available.
