We always knew Dragonites were too fat to fly. Sorry, Dragonite, if you’re reading.
Movistar - and the whole of Spain - were on cloud nine after taking Mirage in the 30th round. They went 5-0 in the groups, and now went 1-0 up against ENCE. They couldn’t, could they?
Erm, no. And not even close, either.
They got spanked back-to-back, picking up just seven rounds in the last two maps. Poor DeathZz picked up 11 kills in those two maps. What a way to go out.
Spain’s last - and let’s be fair, only - hope completely died out. To lose your first game of the event in the playoffs and for it to be such a high followed by an absolute demolition job... man, that must hurt.
Still, ENCE look good.
Maden is back to his dangerous, mercurial best; while Snappi for some reason has suddenly had a second wind. It’s not even a second wind. He’s literally never been this good. He’s randomly become electronic with no foreshadowing.
He picked up 42 kills in the 37 rounds of the final two maps. He had 113.9 ADR on Vertigo. He then had a near-identical 113.8 ADR on Nuke. He’s mutated into an absolute machine.
Either that or Movistar are just not good enough for this level yet. One of the two. Either Snappi is the best player in the world, or Movistar are not the best team in the world.
Jury’s out.
