The world has flipped, and left us here.

The MongolZ ran over Team Spirit to begin their assault on the IEM Cologne trophy. Yes, you read that correctly. mzinho is better than donk, Team Spirit’s era is over, sh1ro is a baiter who can’t hold a candle to 910.

The world has flipped, and Asia is on… top. We were never good at geography.

Alright, we knew Team Spirit, since the record-breaking IEM Katowice run, haven’t been quite as ridiculous, and we’re also aware that The MongolZ have been steadily climbing, but this was wild.

It was a 13-4 win on Anubis that really raised eyebrows around the world, but an overtime win on Ancient is a pretty spicy showing too. When we said mzinho > donk, well… on the opening day of Cologne, it was inarguable - the teenager was lights out.

They were joined in the upper bracket by SAW, who also pulled off a quick 2-0, except against G2. The world is upside down. SAW are properly back. Properly, properly back. They’re good again.

Thankfully, everywhere else, it was somewhat normal. Astralis beat 9z, NAVI smacked paiN, FaZe 2-0’d Team Liquid and Complexity… beat Virtus.pro.

It’s not that weird, but Complexity winning or losing is always surprising. Every single one of their results is surprising. We have no idea how good they are.

We do know how good ELiGE is, though, and that’s really good. 101.5 ADR over the series, and it felt like even more than that.

All that happened in just one day. It couldn’t get any crazier, could it?
