Oakland was two weeks ago. It’s still relevant. Everyone is content to accept bad performances but easily disregards good ones. If you want other more consistent performances then how about the fact that they even qualified for the pro league finals over an extended period when teams like G2 didn’t?

Online results, lul.

Can’t go to lans if you don’t qualify for them

Well, NiP didn't qualify for quite a lot of events, including the major. By your logic NiP is a bad team because they've lost online. Works both ways.

Yes which was a bad result for NiP who, like you say, are inconsistent. That doesn’t make them a bad team. When they’re at the peak they are excellent.

One of the best side blockers in the game. Often reffered as 'the Sideblock King'.

Exactly Kore? So they’re not a bad team, just one who’s trying to find the best way to use their potential.

Yeah but the thing is their standard is below average.

But they can't consistently do that, now can they? A team's level is determined by consistency not one off peaks.

Let me give you an example :

A team placing top 4 throughout the whole year at stacked events without winning an event will still be better than a team winning one event whilst playing like shit for the rest. Sample size is important.

Sample size is important, you’re right. Which is why it’s too early to call NiP a bad team seeing as though they’ve only played six lans.

6 Months, 6 Lans(Excluding Valencia, low tier lan) : Played shit at four, average at one (Won a series against Na'Vi that played with Seized #Shit), played good at one.

Here's the pattern : Shit, Average, Shit, Good, Shit, Shit.

They. Are. Not. A. Good. Team.

NiP is number one but they like comeback stories for $$$$ so they play with our hearts.

Okay then if we discount Valencia then we have five premier lans. One round of 8, one semi and a title isn’t bad considering the teams that attended. They’re struggling for consistency at the minute, sure. But so are teams like Astralis and yet that doesn’t make them a bad side.
