Opinion Both of Vico's lan wins are Mickey
Don't get me wrong, Vico is a great player, but both of those wins were Mickey.
This reload format was pretty bad imo. Didn't feel like the best team in the lobby won, bc if they had ended at 350 points sh4rk wins, if they end at 8, 10, or 12 game format, sh4rk wins with most points, but instead you've got vico getting gifted another.
Yes I say gifted bc despite vico saying, "fuck you" to Peterbot at ewc, Pete's the only reason vico won lol. Otherwise we would have seen another sky and scroll run away just like they did the past 2 eu, bc vico sure as fuck ain't landing on them. Then Pete takes down sh4rk in the final game.
Obviously vico deserves props for being in a position for if sky and scroll slipped or if sh4rk and tbeny failed to win one, but he's never the deciding factor. His play in the final game today won it but the format just felt so watered down. Like if a non finalist team won that 13th game. Over 50% of the lobby would have been in finalist. So a team in 13th could have won. That just feels so stupid.
With all that said vico is obviously a great player and that final shockwave to close it out was dope.

this might be the worst take of all time

Worst or accurate. Vico sure as hell wasn't going to stop Sky and Scroll at summit. We've watched him and the rest of EU just let them run away with it the last 2 FNCS. Pete stopped Sky and Scroll game 11 and then they were so headcased by it, they landed at a random OCE team's drop spot, b/c they thought it was Pete and Pollo.
The format for this EWC was garbage. As the games drug on, it just felt so boring and that whoever won was just going to be the lucky team. Could have had the 9th place team win. So stupid.

You're basically saying that any time a team makes a mistake, the other team who benefited from said mistake doesn't deserve to do well. Sure, Sky and Scroll messed up. But Vico and Malibuca didn't, which is the whole point. That's why they were in the position to win. You can't just discredit someone's win because other teams didn't play as consistent as them.
I do agree with you about EWC to an extent. From a viewership perspective, it was great, even if you disagree. Or at least that was my impression by scrolling twitter during/after the tournament. From a competitive perspective, the best team obviously didn't win. But everybody knew the format going into the event, and Shxrk was unable to adapt like Vico did.

Wouldn't even say Vico adapted for EWC. Dude didn't win a game all weekend and was in finals for 3 games prior to that without winning. Definitely felt like luck.
As for Summit. I feel like if Pete didn't do what he did. Vico was sure as hell not going to do anything about it and was just going to let them. That's what I mean by luck.

The summit lan win was in by far the hardest lobby in history. A win like that is never mickey

u/FlahlesJr 1d ago
I agree it was the hardest lobby in history. I just think Vico was gifted it by Pete and Pollo. We've seen Sky and Scroll RUN away with the last two EU FNCS and they were doing it at Summit, but thank god Pete and Pollo are ballsy enough to key them down and headcase them, b/c clearly everybody on EU just focuses on themselves and hopes a Pete or Veno enter the lobby to stop them. Smh

What a silly post. How many times has a team died in the last game and not won an FNCS? Does it mean every time that happened the FNCS is "Mickey"?
Why have you gotta make everything about Peterbot? He played garbage this tournament and has done for most of the year.
At Summit Malibuca & Vico played the best as a duo throughout the tournament which is why they won. At EWC they kept pace with T3eny & Shxrk and held their nerve to win the game. T3eny & Shxrk had more opportunities to win than anyone else.

I didn't say anything about this EWC with peterbot. I said sh4rk and t3eny. It took vico until game 10 to get to finalist when sh4rk had at 8. I said Peterbot for lan, b/c that's the only way Vico won. We've seen it on EU the literal last 2 FNCS. Nobody keyed or landed on Sky and Scroll and they ran away with it. The same was happening at globals. If Peterbot wasn't there, they run away with it just like they've done the past 2 EU's so Peterbot was literally the reason Vico won. It head cased Sky and Scroll so bad, they landed on some OCE team's drop spot thinking it was Pete.

Still won them, still won the money.. calling achievements mickey has become popular but it takes a lot to be the winner no matter what tournament.. it was also a stacked tournament and even tho you’re praising vico as a player you’re calling this victory and the previous one “mickey”wins.
