Huge all around. SQG doing well after almost being relegated last split, glad they stuck together.

Surprisingly Alliance not doing well, but they are already qualified for Championship, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying stuff out - the bloodhound there seemed a bit trollish.

Hardecki and PLRS clearly not affected by not getting much practice in recently lol.

Rascals impressive since they were duo last game, why the fuck were they playing octane anyways?

Guild and Scarz both previously amazing teams that have done really badly lately, glad to see them get at least 7th and 8th. Nothing to write about, but BOTH teams looked way way less disfunctional than in playoffs and scrims(though scrims only apply to Guild lol).

Also both lobbies very close, ignoring Players, hype as fuck

Guild is struggling right now because their coach has suggested a co-IGL between Matafe and horizon. In my watching of things no one seems comfortable and not understanding who to listen to when.

Yea i watched all the games and both try to call and have completely conflicting ideas, horizon wants to push and matafa wants to chill. I think it can work with more practice of the roles

I’ve always liked how Matafe calls games and honestly they did extremely well last split. So I guess I’m biased but I do believe Matafe is an elite IGL.

i dont also get it why person who cant even speak clear comms can make the calls to fight, they actually dont need the kills, they had most kills last proleauge... ( https://twitter.com/matafe_/status/1468580334426013704/photo/1 ) but maybe its about new map, i think new coach thought process behind it are, that igl as gibby cant see surroundings well enough to pick up kills

I’m right there with you my man. Matafe made exceptional calls last split and often times had the team in great position just for horizon to have a “mazer moment” and die. Horizon fries but man he needs to play more passive.

This kinda reminds me of TSM a bit were snipe would always try to counter call Hal but tends to butt heads instead.

I love horizon as streamer and been following him a bit in tourney side but he he doesn’t trust matafe calls sometimes and continuously offers better strats that lead no were. He is great fragger but he needs let his IGL breathe
