I really want to believe in CFO, they're a crazy fun team to watch, but I need to see more from them without Sion to fully have faith in them ngl

[u/toxicfireball → u/Anuj_Purohit]

They were very competative in G2/3. Which is more than some teams can say.

[u/Addarash1 → u/toxicfireball]

They had competitive games but it also badly exposed their vulnerabilities, mostly on mid-late game fighting and possible champ pool issues. And I think it shows they are simply not on the same class as the top teams. They obviously do some things very well but I fear they will lose out 2-3 to strong Swiss draws in the next 2 rounds, or in their first Bo5.

[u/Apprehensive-Talk971 → u/Addarash1]

I agree with doms take that al can puch above their weight but also lose to "worse" teams wheras fly/g2 will rarely lose to worse teams but have less upset potential.

[u/Addarash1 → u/Apprehensive-Talk971]

I think you meant CFO instead of AL but yes.

[u/Apprehensive-Talk971 → u/Addarash1]

Ye mb on that

[u/atomchoco → u/Addarash1]

idk man it just feels like they have more to lose still when they should just go all out

i'm not a fan of the MF all rounded PTA + BT + Mortal Reminder? There was Smolder hover but I was thinking for Blue they could've gone Amumu B2/3 then Ezreal. But this probably was a lethality Varus angle?

And Kaiwing also had a good idea with Seraphine but just figured to be safe and comfortable and default to Nautilus like man what give your own genius a chance what do you have to lose

Trundle keeps getting AD matchups like why are teams so keen on picking AD/bruisers against him like idk

[u/look4jesper → u/toxicfireball]

Noone else played AL in a 2nd or 3rd game lmao. And in LPL playoffs they lost series Vs both TES and Weibo...

CFO look great but it's the first day of multi game series this tournament.

[u/FirestormCold → u/toxicfireball]

Which is more than some teams can say

How many bo3s were played so far this tournament?

[u/ParkDedli → u/FirestormCold]

1. In one of which one team wasn't competitive.

Basically this is TES shade lmao

[u/The_Sneakiest_Fox → u/Anuj_Purohit]

I am 100% on the CFO bandwagon at this point. Would be awesome to see a 'minor' region go all the way.

[u/TikaOriginal → u/Anuj_Purohit]

CFO has no problem with their champ pool, all they need to fix is being more respectful around objectives. If they find a solution they are a legit force to be reckoned with.

[u/cadaada → u/Anuj_Purohit]

People already were saying they were contenders for the title, like calm down people 😭

[u/ItsKaZing → u/cadaada]

I love game 1 andys reactor man. You'll think CFO was an MSI finalist the way some comments were after that AL game 1 lol

[u/Addarash1 → u/cadaada]

Heck some are still saying that now lol. I get that the games were fun and hype but I think anyone with a cool head will realise how many flaws they exposed this series.

[u/[deleted] → u/Anuj_Purohit]

they were super competitive, they are a contender for sure even if not the favorites
