You know how like, 2020 has been really weird, and all of the good teams are now bad, and all of those onliner teams like BIG and Heroic are really good now, and NA CS is dead because of their lack of ability VALORANT?

As is tradition, s1mple fell just short of beating Astralis in the semi-finals, and he, electronic and now B1T got to experience being slightly let down by their teammates. As is also tradition, Astralis met Liquid in the Grand Final.

And that's one joke for every map Astralis had to play before they slapped Liquid back out of the server.
