A very interesting tournament. The lineup is stacked (well, except for the last 5 teams...), and a few rosters that recently changed are playing their first tournament. A bit sad that we'll have to wait to see NiKo play on FaZe, but it'll come.

Think it would have been kinda hard to use Niko after having him less than a week with the team. Also Faze and Mouz in the same group...lul. Definitely interesting to see what happens: - will Astralis look as strong as they did at the major? - what level is North at now? - can Optic hang with the top 10 teams now? - Complexity...
-has Fnatic solved their old problems and can they return to their old form? - can Misfits put up a fight and not get 16-0 by VP? - can Gambit play other maps than Overpass?
- how will Sk look with felps in the roster? - wtf is going on with NiP? - does Cloud9 still remember how to play cs? - how will Tyloo play after all the drama?
- will NaVi be (even more) motivated? - what can Faze do with a stand-in? - who can be less bad, Renegades or Mouz? Some serious questions to be answered...

ahan... Ill say it again, unless you get some favourable Bo3's which is less likely with D2 out of the pool, teams that work hard and have a tactical bedrock are now good enough to beat teams that just come to tournaments to play FPL.
The days of out fragging and individual outplays are gone now.

Hiko and Elige. I'm not a big fan of jdm to be honest.
But damn, fnatic just keeps running into gambit angles.

Yeah I started doing that all the time for a small period.. obviously with significantly less success.

This is sooo wrong. Obvious you barely watch any games nor asses any data - Hiko was consistently mediocre-to-bad.
