I barely left the house all week—I devoted myself entirely to CS. But it wasn’t enough.
It turned out to be great footage for a video I’ve been planning for a long time. Though it’ll be released much later than I’d hoped.
This comeback turned out to be too painful. I feel the worst for the team—they truly deserved the win. I’m even more worried about them than I am about myself. After falling behind 0-2, we genuinely believed we could turn the game around and make it 3-2. But on the attack side, we were only able to take two rounds.
Some obvious takeaways: Phenomenon and Flauzer will definitely be playing on Tier 1. Alpha’s impact as IGL is simply colossal. He needs four players who fully trust his decisions. Forza and Maga are worthy teammates and comrades; I’m glad the roster turned out exactly this way.
We’re looking forward to the next tournament!
