If your answer to that question last week was ‘BIG Academy’, you’re either completely lost or some sort of time traveler/mastermind, because you would have been completely correct.
Probably.
They’ve been on a tear at Fragadelphia, doing their bit to completely destroy NA CS. You know that meme, that’s like “man who thought he had lost all hope loses last bit of extra hope he didn’t even know he had”?
That’s NA fans seeing Apeks and BIG Academy in one semi-final and TeamOne in the other.
Still, at least it avoided the conversation about whether or not there being two EG teams playing each other in the semi-final is a conflict of interest. It is, but it’s also Fragadelphia; who cares?
There’s a handful of passable-to-good teams in North America. Let’s not eliminate more than we need to from local LANs, for crying out loud.
BIG have been totally dominant - at least until the semi-finals, which were played late last night, after some of our bedtimes - and look like the best team at the event. But Apeks, similarly, look up there.
This is the best shox has played in NA, and he was on Liquid for a year or so.
On the other side, EG.PA have shown how much having a little bit of backing can help you improve, as they look a cut above the pack, while EG.CD at least made it to quarters before getting pushed aside by TeamOne.
malbsMd, favourite of the newsletter, has been on a mission since rejoining TeamOne, and he powered TeamOne back to the top. Almost like he’s really good.
Final results can be found here, with our prediction being that BIG Academy might surprise everyone and take the whole thing.
Can’t wait to wake up and see how stupid we look.
