We’re at a loss for words after what happened in Cologne.

We may have just witnessed the biggest meltdown in CS history.

Team Spirit, strong favorites to make the Playoffs and even take it all, vanished before our very eyes.

G2 nuked them in a 2-0 sweep where they only managed to bag 4 rounds across the whole series. To put that into perspective, this is the least amount of rounds TS has ever won in 2+ map series since their first HLTV recorded game in 2016. And to top it all off, donk put up a shockingly low 54 ADR.

You know something’s terribly wrong when even OG is taking shots at you.

But the blowout train didn’t stop there.

FURIA seemed to think TS needed some company, so they hopped on board by getting thrashed by Vitality, winning just 5 rounds in the entire BO3. Look on the bright side, FURIA – you still did better than Spirit.

Turning our attention away from the speedrun scene, we saw iM prove he can be hiM by posting a stellar 1.71 rating in a quick 2-0 over Astralis. Light work.

In the clash of the underdogs, SAW secured their spot in the LANXESS Arena with a gritty 2-1 victory, sending The MongolZ to the lower bracket. First time playing in Cologne, first playoff appearance for the Portuguese squad. If BERRY can deliver this kind of impact in just a month, we might as well predict SAW for the Shangai Major win.

And if you think that’s a terrible prognosis, you’re right. But it can’t possibly be worse than Pimp’s.

The remaining series of the day reinforced our belief that the Falcons retirement home could use a true star player (among many other things), and that biguzera is the mastermind the Brazilian scene desperately needs.

God, we love Cologne.
