TheMongolz are the best team in Asia. Hands down.

Obviously, we all knew this; but their run through the Asia RMR was as dominant as one can imagine. Over four maps, they dropped more than four rounds just once, breezing past Lynn Vision 13-8 13-3, after back-to-back 13-4s.

It’s good to see, truthfully.

While we don’t like necessarily one team monopolising, if they’re actually legit, they should just roll through Asia. We’ve seen too many false dawns - of Asian teams doing alright internationally and collapsing domestically afterwards. Now we’ve said all that, they’ll probably go 0-3.

They’ll be joined by a team that, finally, isn’t Grayhound.

There seems to have been an Australian team at every single Major ever (we haven’t factchecked this, this is purely just vibes), but this time around we shan’t have one.

We’d like to pretend we’re disappointed, but it feels like there’s more chance of Lynn Vision doing anything good than Grayhound. Grayhound seem to make it to every international event just to be the whipping boys, and while it’s sad for a region that needs the help, we aren’t too upset as viewers.

Sorry, guys. We’ll call it even for the Ashes.

Lynn Vision making it was a bit of an upset; TYLOO capitulated as they always seem to, and Grayhound fell to them in the last qualifying game. It’s lovely to see some new faces, and some interesting new names for stickers.

The sticker we’ve all been waiting for: Westmelon. Finally.
