What do we mean 2-0 G2-Faze, shouldn't it just be 1-0

Navi v falcon hate watch, would be good if they could both lose. Mouz v Gentle m8’s could be game of the day. Hotu expose spirit (oh captain my captain goatbert). FURIA G2 fight to prove who’s the better one tourney wonder. Mongolz v IC, mara giving them an invigorating motivational speech right now (they will fight in honor of their forefathers tomorrow). Aurora v Australis, the great battle of tier 1.5. Vitality gamerlegion, vitality wake up ensuring they end up in semis just to lose. 3d max v faze vintage faze clan experience early tourney choke.
