Gambit are so dominant, that losing twice to them still makes it a great tournament.
G2 were the pick of the rest, toppling Astralis on their path to the semi-finals, and only losing to Gambit, twice. NiKo might be one of the best players in the world, and AmaNEk is inarguably better than kennyS at AWPing. Alright, half of that is true. We'll let you decide which half.
We're a little sad we didn't get to see more of paiN, who are an incredibly talented team, but at least we saw their Brazilian brethren FURIA go deep. junior is starting to find his feet on the roster, but their success is built on the consistency of KSCERATO.
No, NA fans, you can't count them as NA just because of junior. You can keep Extra Salt though - they went out joint last. Though they did have to play against Astralis and Vitality, so like... fair enough.
Speaking of joint last, FaZe also went out 13-16th. More like 11-15th, am I right high fives self?
You can count them as NA too, if you want. Twistzz is Canadian, and also definitely FaZe's best player right now. He was the only player to go positive against mouz, with ropz carrying them. What karrigan would do to IGL a player like rop- ah, never mind.
It might be time to be worried about Complexity, too. It's a roster with incredible individual skill, but losing 2-0 to both Astralis and FURIA, who were not in their peak form, might be worrying.
Bring back ShahZam, we reckon.
