Roll up, roll up! Welcome, one and all, to the tournament of dead and dying teams!
Look to your left, we’ve got the stand-in statue! Erected in memory of KRIMZ, hallzerk and degster, this statue is a reminder of all the first teamers we’ve lost on the flight over to Dallas.
And to the right, dead team district! G2 almost certainly won’t be keeping HooXi after kassad told them to, ENCE as you’ve just read are in trouble, Team Liquid are playing with nitr0 and MOUZ still have dexter, which…
Come on. Surely.
And just in front, there’s the remains of North America. Dragged along by wiz and Brehze, propped up by Nouns and Complexity, and largely ignored by Team Liquid, this is a reminder of what could have been if it weren’t for COVID.
Or VALORANT.
At least there’s the opportunity of Heroic vs Cloud9 or G2 vs FaZe, we suppose. There’s still some good teams here, but it’s always such a shame to see an event after the Major where half the teams are in pieces.
Ah, well. It’s better than nothing. Maybe this is where Astralis finally make a run again. Maybe this is where Cloud9 win a trophy in Dallas again. Maybe FURIA will stop being crap.
There’s definitely room for enjoyment. It’s just… a little underwhelming after Paris.
