awww yeah liking the GFE roster
Hafficool from Fnatic was the first one to talk shit on NA teams. Then they come back with more than a month of experience against tough Korean competition and get destroyed. It doesn't even matter if it's BO1 at that point it's inexcusable and embarrassing for a professional team sent to represent the West in Korea to lose against a new amateur NA roster.
You're a professional lineup that has been around since closed beta in a gaming house with multiple months of LAN experience against the best teams in the world at APEX and then lose to a half-month old team that's been given no opportunities or money whatsoever. It's the equivalent of losing to a 6 stack of Bronze players in ranked and a situation that should be physically impossible if you're playing at that caliber. Your excuse is dogshit.
OK I think you strayed a little too far with that analogy. Fnatic have been looking poor recently yeah, but it was a king's row bo1 against a team with some decent talent and they've still got Vone+Haffi on eu ping. Not enough to slam Fnatic into the garbage yet, but after their games in korea and the choke at vegas you can take the lid off the trashcan for sure.
yeah I know it was exaggerated. I played on a team with half of the players from "you guys get paid?" and they're talented and have worked really hard to try going pro. It makes me mad when up and coming teams are discounted for beating pro teams. People did that to Kungarna (now Splyce) and bird noises (now LG Evil) during the Winter Premiere because "LUL quad-tank meta" since they love their popular closed beta personalities and teams so much like Seagull and Fnatic.
why mention "online"? playing well online is a part of being a good team, nobody should disagree with this. and bo1 means that they lost once. slip ups can happen, but if a team loses a game to another it's clearly a close matchup

ok idk about that
