guys it's not about strategy, be smart...in the first group, Millenium surprised Mojawi and got the first place...so imo both Burning! and FAiRFRAG wanted to loose the game in order to play Millenium at semifinal, the game looks a lot much easier :)
i think they did not want to "play for loose", so they decided to flip coins to determine first and second place.

It's was BURNING which doesn't want to play the match.
And I disagree, It's not smart to refuse to play a match. It's really weak. Or doesn't call that esport. Sport has values to respect. You think teams could do that during the football world cup?

i don't think it was only Burning! cuz if that was true than FF would have claimed for first place in the group.
i thin both didnt want to win this game. if i'm correct, what's the interest in playing a game, while both teams DOESNT want to win it?

yeah ofc you're right about the fact they both didn't want to win. But there is the problem. They must be competitive players, they normaly want to beat every teams. If you pretend to win this cup, you pretend to win against everyone.
