Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Team Liquid won’t be at the Major.

It had to be one of Liquid or Complexity going out, which you probably already knew if you opened Monday’s newsletter, but it’s still an embarrassing result for a team that spent so much money.

A team that spent that much money and decided it would be easier to play in the Americas RMR than the European one, so signed skullz over another European, by the way. You can complain about bad seeding if you want, but they tried to get an easier path on purpose.

This is, undoubtedly, funny.

Is it sad that Twistzz and NAF are missing the Major, that a big team is losing out on their easy path to a bunch of money to keep themselves alive, that cadiaN isn’t in the Royal Arena?

We know we’re supposed to say yes, but… honestly, no.

There’s been back-and-forth about whether or not the format is a problem, and while it isn’t ideal, maybe Team Liquid should have won a game with their multi-million dollar team against either FURIA or Complexity.

Neither of them are that good, really.

And anyway, if Liquid are so good that they deserve to be at the Major, they might have beaten SAW, or at least not been dogwalked by them on map three.

The Americas teams that made it to the Major:
