they are not tier 2, thats why they won ascention and qualified, the only reason they were tier 2 was cause the guard was not accepted and the players decided to play together (multiple players had tier 1 offers) everyone always agreed the guard core was frachizing material and were favourites to win along with M80, and you can say having pati as a stand in is not a disavantage, but the role switches definely are, TH should have won the first series but lost 100 clutches, this series is way more convincing and it's when it matters

like for real, all this talk and ego for this

They should just win everything so riot abondons the 2 years in the league and then garenteed relagation idea

How would they make the format with 12 teams otherwise? (Geniune question)

I hate Na fans as much as the next guy, but im pretty sure its the exact opposite, this is the only match i can remember na lost to Korea and sen vs geng too iadrid, other than that korea always loses to na ( mostly due to optic core and eg)

True at least we got a map, whats funny is that all the Na fans victims of lobotomy were shit talking emea for losing 2-1 to geng

agree with the knife take

we got 3 teams in top 8, where is lev?

only mickey mouse when it benefits you + flair

americas love to be 13-1'ed

It's always interesting to see how the competitive landscape unfolds. While expectations don't always match reality, every tournament brings its surprises and upsets. Fnatic's consistency is indeed notable, but there's still plenty of competition left to see how things play out.

15! Are we witnessing history here?

14! Someone give this guy a trophy!

13! We're in uncharted territory now. Can he keep it up?

.

Number 12, he's unstoppable! Is there a marathon for this?

we got 11 now, you can tell he trained for this his whole life! we be here for a while

10!!!!! holy we might get close to the olympic record!

ok we got 9, just one more!

is that 8??? can we go to 10?

your on a roll! one more!

bro is still going.... cmon send another one!

i'm sure you did! the classic "i don't know what the hell i'm talking about so imma pull the grammar error card"

That response really says a lot about how confident you were in your counterarguments.

and that was great from prx, they one of the best teams of all time and might be the best team right now and that performance shows how good they actually are, i'm just saying it's expected TH losing just like people at the time did not expect much of prx for having crgs on the team

that take makes no sence, the other teams where also made up of "shitmea players" if he is that superior to them then he should have been the difference maker

and look where it got them

Facts don't change just because you dismiss them

with a sub and role switches yes

fnc vs th was played with miniboo, g2 is playing agaisnt a team without their star duelist and role switches and still lost a map, they are professional players i don't find it impressive they won agaisnt a sub but i do find it embaressing to lose a map agaisnt a sub

ok let's explain it to you in simpler way, so you think n4rrate is the superior immortal gigachad player from the gigachad americas region carrying poor EU players who are equivalent to NA silvers, in that case if narrate is in a team with 4 silvers, agaisnt 5 silvers, then he should win everytime no? 1 immortal plus 4 silvers better than 5 silvers no? it doens't make sence because if you look at the players with unbiased eyes you will actually notice the silvers were actually not sivlers and pretty close with the immortal

the fans are part of the teams in a way, i see no problem with it, they don't actually think they are in the team (very obviously)

based then

he got fourth actually, lost to the "bad" teams you shit talk so much

.

you got it bro

people say this every tournament, sometimes they are right, sometimes they aren't, and when they aren't there is always excuses, i don't mind you believing that Emea won't win, just make sure not to have double standards like the other times (not saying it was you in specific), and keep the same energy if it happens

g2 got second place, sure they might not be the overall best team with the best peak, but in that tournament they were the second best, and what is sad it that the team that played the second best from your region is "mid"

at least we made playoffs

cause heretics where playing with the team they qualified with??????

i think 4th place is better than not getting to playoffs lil bro

and how does it contradict me? i do think the teams that got through EU are good, if th had miniboo this series would have been over already with a th win, you are the one who said your second best team was mid bro "haha"

flair

i think it shows more about your region letting a mid team get to grand finals, also you are making a fool out of yourself bro we all know you are not laughing irl unless you are a schizo which i honesly would not be suprised from an NA fan

you know you don't have to type "haha" every time you say something to try to prove you are confident right? we get you are edgey bro, it just looks kinda child like bro, friend advice , also it's kinda of ironic you made a thread laughing about EU when your regions second best team is "mid"

with a sub and role switches

lost map one bro

their whole playstyle was revolved around miniboo, they have played with him all year and he was their star duelist, with him gone they had to play with pati and had to switch roles around, it's a massive setback anyway you look at it, not cause of pati being here but cause of miniboo not being here

g2 could win every round in this series from now on and it would still be an embarrassment, losing a map to a team from a "weaker region" with a sub is crazy
