2018-09-06 23:29

Why not ghost

Who cares this tournament???

ez tournament for ence

This is a tournament Heroic NEEDS to win.

2018-09-06 19:24

Nah, Heroic is about the same level with Red Reserve, Imperial, Kinguin, ENCE and AGO. So gonna be close games but EZ4ENCE in the end.

2018-09-06 19:29

They won fnatic & OpTic and went overtimes against FaZe

2018-09-06 19:49

And ENCE 2-0'd mousesports and NiP, shit happens.

2018-09-06 20:10

And NiP 2-0'd then in the following tournament For mouz that wasn't an important match

2018-09-06 20:15

NiP 2-0'd Heroic and before that they lost to Avangar, LG, Epsilon, Nordavind. And not being an important match is no excuse. They have the best coach in the game, nasu, so they still have a good chance to win, but by no means are favourites. ENCE, LG, Red Reserve and imperial have a better chance, with AGO and Kinguin being close.

2018-09-06 20:21

Was a completely different roster... The only tournament they played with the new lineup was Dreamhack in Sweden. And they managed to beat fnatic & OpTic there and took FaZe to overtimes (they could have won as well but choked from 15-11)

2018-09-06 20:49

They lost niko to North so on paper their lineup now is worse, the only thing they have going for them is nasu.

2018-09-06 20:56

sup

2018-09-07 01:21

Feels bad for Dreamhack man. They prop up the scene so good but their open events get so little viewership anyway. This one is also in the middle of a major.
