,,Virtus.pro are one of the favourites to make it to the World Finals,, they lose slot for this LAN to Ventores

venatores hackers who have been shit ever since that game ? nt

2017-11-22 18:00

What hackers? They were disqualified with a poor reason just to give VP another chance, so the tournament would be more interesting for the viewers. You should not speak about things you know nothing about.

2017-11-23 12:36

sure whatever rocks your boat we can see venatores shit the bed in all recent games :)

"5-8. $40,000 + spot at World Finals" surely only $4,000 I suppose?

1. $40,000 + spot at World Finals 5-8. $40,000 + spot at World Finals looks funny :D
