Maybe they have to practice their inferno in the qualifier hahahahahah

they were godlike on inferno, and became trash +1

2018-08-18 16:46

Na'Vi probably declined tbh. I doubt they'd all be able to even make it. This tourny is bound to have last minute visa issues. I can tell already.

2018-08-18 14:28

naisuu

I think Fnatic will do pretty good this tourney. I mean at the Eleague Premier they did really good despite only getting one win, with some more practice and tactics they can be like the 2015 Fnatic!
