Ain't no way some people still believe lock//in was a mickey mouse in 2024 💀💀💀

For sure single elim has more flaws than double elim, but it's also much harder since no 2nd chances are given

:)

Even though I'm personally a fnatic fan, I try to not be biased and I believe one 1st place and two 2nd place finishes are better or at least equal to two 1st place and one 4th place finishes.
But I agree about the 2 back to back trophies part

2024 GENG

• Made 2 of 3 international GFs (Madrid & Shanghai) SO FAR, won 1 of them (Shanghai)
• Made ALL 3 regional GFs so far, won 2 of them (Kickoff & Split 2)
• Played 37 matches SO FAR, resulting to 29 W & 8 L = ~78% win percentage
• Internationally have only lost to SEN once

2023 FNC

• Made 2 of 3 international GFs (Sao Paulo & Tokyo), won both (Sao Paulo & Tokyo), finished 4th at Champs
• 2nd place in EMEA league, with a perfect undefeated regular season (9-0)
• Played 27 matches in total, resulting to 24 W & 3 L = ~88% win percentage
• Internationally only lost to LOUD twice

From the statistics we see that both teams are honestly very similar. If GENG manage to make another grand final appearance at Champs, I think it's safe to say they are the best team of all time, but till then prime FNC still holds this title.

Unless T1 make a crazy offer for their players I don't think GENG will let them go that easily

Unfortunately no other team was more worthy of the 4th slot other than Sentinels.
Honestly only 100T would have been better

At least SEN made Champs unlike NRG

Ngl this gives me hope for the chinese region as a whole:
FPX almost beating TH
BLG not getting absolutely destroyed by EMEA's 1st seed

I'm really looking forward to watch Trace and EDG play

EDIT: Trace just cooked EMEA's runner-ups

Just google him dude...

@Seulgi

Great article as usual and a big thanks to VLR's team for their interviews at Champs
Just a correction: Champs wasn't the 1st international for Foxy9, he also attended Masters Tokyo last year

Yeah, a 1v3 😂😂😂

For real now, Riot HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE PCs

*EDG top 6 at Tokyo

LEV 2-0 TLN, unless primmie goes god-mode and his teammates step up or aspas gets sick (still LEV 2-1)

VIT 2-0 TE if both Sayf and Trexx carry as usual, otherwise VIT 2-1

🤣😂🤣😂

You were SO RIGHT

He finally started aim training

Clutch master

Karon rookie of the year too

Unless FPX's mental is so bad rn that SEN manages to get a win (copium)

I really hope so

But from what I've seen today, unless all of TH players go nuclear, it will be a 2-0 for GENG

FNC 2 - 0 BLG
Alfajer MVP

GENG is gonna ROLL Heretics

Miniboo finally woke up 🔥🔥🔥

Banger series fr

Thanks a lot

Since you are Turkish btw what's the most popular esports org in Turkey?

That's what everyone said about NRG last year too
Though I have to admit FNC isn't NRG

Those sheriff deathmatches payed off

Flashback drops 50+ frags

Do we know if EF is a big enough org to keep its players if they get offers by other t1 teams?

Oh OK, I didn't know

I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately KRU will have to win against DRX as well, since FNC will drop BLG to lower bracket for sure

Stop it man, you are gonna jinx FNC 😭😭😭

SEN N4RRATE

He has signed with Eternal Fire

SEN couldn't even get double digits on a single map

And PRX need to first qualify to playoffs 🤣🤣🤣

Ngl Team Secret have upset so many good teams this season (PRX, GEN) but they have also lost against much worse ones, so I don't really know what's going on with this team.
Also TS ain't at Champs buddy

I really hope FNC continue their win streak at Champs but with DRX in our group I don't know if we can secure 1st seed easily

Also if Heretics play like they did in EMEA playoffs they will get destroyed 2-0 by GENG (if they win against FPX first of course)

Ain't no way he had THE ONLY positive KD from Sentinels 💀💀💀

Title

GENG is an insane big org in KR so I guess they pay really well their players.
Only T1 can afford to poach them

Will this mean they fail to communicate with Riot as well?

I remember aproto was a pretty good player even from his Ghost Gaming days

Mada was SO GOOD vs M80 and next game he decided to literally turn his monitor off...

Unless Shopify only cares about the financial part and not the actual team itself

Feelsbadman

With both neT and juicy qualified for their respective Ascension tournament, they have the opportunity to become the 1st two-times back to back Ascension winners (if this happens I just hope DSG and M80 don't drop them again 💀)

Indeed, also I never understood why they dropped specifically sym and aproto, they were such good players

Ain't no way they miss Ascension again this year THE EXACT SAME WAY as last time (lost upper finals vs M80 and then lowers vs a team that completes the lower bracket run) 💀💀💀
