A few weeks ago, we were apologising to REZ, but it turns out we may just have needed to apologise to the entirety of Swedish CS.

Okay, that’s probably too far.

But with our sincerest Frank Lampard impression: We’d like to apologise to Brollan. He’s just accomplished something siuhy couldn’t have dreamed of doing: He made xertioN play well during an arena playoffs.

Not only was everyone’s second-favourite (sorry, stavn) playoff bottler a solid force in getting them to the final, he was also the MVP of the grand final itself, and a massive reason as to why MOUZ have finally won an event in front of more seven people in Malta.

The final itself wasn’t much to write home about, it began with two comfortable maps and ended with two far closer ones. As BO5s go, it isn’t one we’re going to talk about for a long time, we’ll most likely get of it bored by next week, but there are some things worth talking about.

The first is that Falcons are getting there, and that’s honestly a good sign, considering that most people presumed this would be Niko’s retirement home. degster isn’t all there yet though, but we’re still sure m0NESY will be soon.

The bigger story is that MOUZ are just as good with Brollan leading them. Their T sides were mostly very solid, and Spinx looks back to his absolute best. With a bonafide superstar, MOUZ could turn this win into a fair few by the end of the year.

That is, until they do the most MOUZ thing ever, which, if you’re not familiar, will be selling siuhy and half of their remaining squad to FaZe.

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it… or something like that.
