I agree. Like they have some good BO1 results, but in a BO3 I can't see them even beating a half decent team.

By reaching quarters you prove you can win an event like Cologne? Lul, no. Maybe if they actually won something they would prove they can win big events.

It's not like they lost to a t2 team or smth, it was FaZe They're showing big improvement, you can expect them to win Cologne tbh

And the same people said the same about StarLadders. Now they won't win this, and we can expect them to win the next tournament. On and on and on.

I never said they would win StarLadder, I actually believed they MIGHT survive GS with a 3-2 record. Cologne is in 2,5 months, they have time and room to improve, and they can check what went wrong against FaZe, and try a few things on smaller tourneys, like DH
