A team that was just unlucky to play in an era when another team was already dominating?
My contenders: FaZe 2017. Unlucky to had SK at the time-frame. Was a crazy team with best entryfragger in history (rain) and highest peak in NiKo's career, this team could have won more events tbh.
Liquid 2018 - lost so many events to Astralis, who was basically unplayable at the time.
G2 nexa. Could have won Kato-Cologne, and even 2m$ superMajor in Stockholm. sadly got farmed by NaVi.
that faze was crazy, always looked unstoppable and when everyone had their hopes up theyd get absolutely destroyed by sk in finals

ye those guys were great, but unfortunately that was also the time we had a prime Brazilian SK that was almost unstoppable during their reign.
Navi 2021 could maybe have surpassed astralis 2018 era but coke and war ruined it

They were only strong because of the covid era
Prime navi is dog piss in the grand scheme of things

Rare 0/8 for you
0/8 quit hltv
+1 but they are not dog piss
nah, they were never going to have an era regardless since 2022 was when teams started to become fully competitive with each other. In the first half of 2022 was FaZe at their greatest, a resurgent G2, Team Spirit, and a Gambit-turned C9. Then in the second half of 2022, was a slowly growing Vitality, FURIA at their greatest, Heroic, and Outsiders/VP.

liquid had more 1st place finish than 2nd place finish in 2019

Which supports my point
thats cause they won more shit in 2019 since Astralis was often absent and Astralis was also starting to very slowly decline (even with their major wins).

Liquid was dominating all of 2019 besides the majors tbh..
Vitality lost like 4/5 finals in a row in 2020. Could have been top 1 that year but ended up 3rd behind navi and astralis
Honorable mention: bayern munich 2017, 2018
Could have won 2 b2b UCL if Cristiano Ronaldo didnt exist

What what and who?
1. liquid 2018
2. navi 2015-2016
3. avangar 2019 major
Liquid 2018 prime example, FaZe 2017 actually came first in tournaments but Liquid always got rekt by Astralis in the finals while destroying everyone else.

ye Im ngl, that really was the case. And 2021's scene was just NaVi having basically no opposition with G2, Gambit (now C9), and Heroic being the only ones trying to contend.
Fast forward a few months later and throughout 2022, was when the scene essentially regained its competitiveness. In the first half, it was basically NaVi, FaZe, G2, Cloud9 (originally Gambit), and a lesser extent ENCE, with the two former outright having no opposition except each other. Second half was basically a slowly growing Vitality, FURIA at their peak, Heroic, and Outsiders/VP
Nexa G2, most definitely. They had an incredible roster but never could win tournament gold and were always second-best to the best teams.
The Major in 2021 also comes to mind.
Liquid 2018 was in pretty much every tournament final in 2018 - early 2019, losing every time to Astralis.
The only times they weren't in the final were because they were eliminated by Astralis in the semi finals.
