Seeding genuinely matters, easier groups will lead to fewer strats shown and a better run to the knockout stage of Masters 1.

Think Fnatic should convincingly 2-1 FPX, but they might be exhausted after the last game (both the players and the playbook)

loud beat VK who "beat" Acend who lost to Fnatic

so Loud < Fnatic (top 8 at champs)

so Loud are only group stage team

:(

this Fnatic comp on map 1. Boaster and Mini were on some shit when they cooked this atrocity up

bro what is this comparision

there's such a stark difference between the preparation of Sentinels and a team like, say Fnatic, or even The Guard.

even if, as Shahzam is quick to always say, they are actually putting in the work, it must be such inefficient practice to cause these results

as you said, swapping Zombs may improve their game but it certainly wouldn't improve their practice.

this you 💀? https://www.vlr.gg/80909/lnatic

60+ rounds of split in a row 💀

Map 3 was 25% longer than the entire LOUD vs VK BO3

KEKW WHEN DOES SENTINELS PLAY

started even before that with the signing of BraveAF

the combination of insane prep (just look at all their lineups and cheese strats ) , super well-played offseason (brave and role changes), great igl, and getting experience along with confidence through the group stage.

having the best player in the world, derke, helped too.

100head uncounterable strat only usable by the best player in the world
