^ they have beaten clg in esl ny closed qualifier (and fall to c9 2-1), but all in all they have almost qualified for that. I've been following rise nation scene for a while, but as i can see there's not alot matches, where they have played on LAN :D, so that's the problem. But i wish they are going to beat Luminosity.
