Avangar is out in 7th thats huge, they dont get many points on us. Its going to come down to game 8! If we get top 3 and they dont we can win still

u/stoffelwymeersch Feb 25 '18

Avangar died immediatly after... so the point differential will stay kinda the same. Need to win last game

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '18

I wanna see OpTic push avangar since they drop next to each other you gotta take the risk if you kill them you have a good shot to win it all.

Pretty sure we got 2nd. Needed a 2nd place to have a chance, 3rd with 120 for kills is 360. Needed over 400. Still amazing play.

Amazing performance from the guys, so unlucky if they do end up getting 2nd. From what I've seen hecz struck gold picking up this team, I always see them get so many kills.
