With the topic resurfacing in recent days, I was wondering if there was a metric that could be used to measure a Worlds "speedrun". In my opinion, in-game time makes the most sense, and I began to add up every major region's 0-6 representatives' speedrun times from the 2014 season to now:
2018 MAD Team (LMS): 3 hours, 23 minutes, 36 seconds
*41:45 vs Edward Gaming
*26:15 vs KT Rolster
*37:30 vs Team Liquid
*39:51 vs Edward Gaming
*33:17 vs Team Liquid
*24:58 vs KT Rolster
2018 G-REX (LMS): 2 hours, 53 minutes, 53 seconds
*27:54 vs Invictus Gaming
*37:57 vs 100 Thieves
*24:07 vs Fnatic
*25:32 vs Invictus Gaming
*24:35 vs Fnatic
*33:48 vs 100 Thieves
2019 Hong Kong Attitude (LMS): 3 hours, 23 minutes, 50 seconds
*47:36 vs Cloud9
*37:51 vs Griffin
*30:37 vs G2 Esports
*29:42 vs G2 Esports
*30:08 vs Griffin
*27:56 vs Cloud9
2019 Clutch Gaming (LCS): 3 hours, 28 minutes, 2 seconds
*31:23 vs Royal Never Give Up
*39:04 vs Fnatic
*26:10 vs SK Telecom T1
*48:39 vs Fnatic
*29:40 vs Royal Never Give Up
*33:06 vs SK Telecom T1
2019 AHQ Esports Club (LMS): 3 hours, 12 minutes, 21 seconds
*29:40 vs Invictus Gaming
*27:36 vs Damwon Gaming
*42:02 vs Team Liquid
*32:36 vs Invictus Gaming
*30:57 vs Team Liquid
*29:30 vs Damwon Gaming
2020 TSM (LCS): 3 hours, 20 minutes, 57 seconds
*34:11 vs Fnatic
*27:29 vs Gen.G
*36:54 vs LGD Gaming
*25:35 vs Fnatic
*39:04 vs| Gen.G
*37:44 vs LGD Gaming
(TL;DR) STANDINGS:
*2:53:53 | 2018 G-REX
*3:12:21 | 2019 AHQ Esports Club
*3:20:57 | 2020 TSM
*3:23:50 | 2019 Hong Kong Attitude
*3:23:36 | 2018 MAD Team
*3:28:02 | 2019 Clutch Gaming
Personally, I was surprised that TSM wasn't even among the top 3. An interesting thing to note is 2018 being the first year a major region team had gone 0-6 in groups. Hoping Fnatic can manage to pick up at least 1 win tomorrow so that they don't become eligible for the hall of shame
EDIT: whoops, I goofed on HKA's first game, (courtesy of u/lw94) it should've been 47 min instead of 27. This brings TSM up to 3rd place in the major region's scoreboard.
BONUS: All 0-6 Teams compared to each other:
When we throw all of the wildcard/minor region representatives into the mix:
*2:51:22 | 2015 Bangkok Titans
*2:53:53 | 2018 G-REX
*2:59:47 | 2014 Dark Passage
*3:07:17 | 2021 DetonatioN FocusMe
*3:12:21 | 2019 AHQ Esports Club
*3:12:48 | 2020 Unicorns of Love
*3:20:57 | 2020 TSM
*3:23:36 | 2018 MAD Team
*3:23:50 | 2019 Hong Kong Attitude
*3:28:02 | 2019 Clutch Gaming
*3:58:53 | 2017 1907 Fenerbahce
