Mirage is a bad map. If you think it's a good map you probably voted to have Mexico build a wall.

It's pretty nutso that all five of Astralis members are in the top 8 of the event. Not sure I've ever seen that before, especially given it's reached the semis.

Xyp had so many clutches in this tournament, didn't seem to matter how many of the other team was alive.

Surprised about mousesports not making it further.

I also wonder about North, never seemed to recover once Rubino left, it struck me as weird when that was announced as he seemed like a v.solid part of the team.

Renegades over FaZe to go to playoffs. Grayhound knock out SK in a bo3. Pretty good day for Ozzy CS.

Potentially the good teams are now bad?? The only player I recognise in Grayhound is Gratisfaction, I guess the best Australian AWPer? He was in Immunity when they were the only other good team in Australia.

in tier 4 NA news ESL is getting reamed for forfeiting mythic over mythic streaming their ESL qualifier tonight. Slightly different from the old dota controversy because it's not a DMCA takedown or anything but it's still a bad look

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
tbf Mythic chose to forfeit instead of just not stream the games and potentially go to a giant lan. The whole situation is dumb of course and they should be allowed to stream... but it's getting a little out of hand.

Boltz was igl of Immortals iirc, why not let him try? Instead lets shackle one of the top 3 players in the world with that responsibility. :psyduck:

Not everyone gets poo poo after being saddled with being IGL, but I agree it definitely smacks of that desperation you see in teams where suddenly nothing is working. "Can't get any worse" kind of deal. VP did the exact same thing in their first slump, basically everybody ended up having a go across the year.

Astralis is good. Mouz/Na'Vi almost. FaZe will probably be good again with olof over Xizt. Since Astralis has always been my favourite team to watch, it's p great for me, but it's not as tough at the top as it has been.

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.
