What most of the viewers don’t understand is - that difference in VCT between teams (majority of them) is so small. That if a team plays better on like 5% they will qualify to an international event
And there are every year examples of this
Let’s say VIT - shaky group stage, looking not that bueno. A week pass - they start to play better on this 5-7% that’s enough to look much better and dominant
Same things can be regarding Liquid - they play 5-7% worse losing some important clutches they wouldn’t lose usually - GG looks not bueno
It also goes in another regions. Envy taking a bit more comfort zone etc playing it better - they looked so good. Or people will say that MIBR suddenly for 1 week forgot how to play the game
Difference between majority of the teams are really really small. That’s why we consistently see new teams qualifying, that’s why we don’t see the era etc
Pretty much most of the teams are on the same level
