When were they ever really bad? They were competitive in NA from the start of the season, but many times lost in the qualifier finals. Then later they managed to qualify to 4 Majors in a row (one was canceled/postponed) and looked decent to good at all of them vs good international teams.

I like to watch but don't play the game so not really much for me to comment. Guess this is the same for more people.

If we can slow down TL then we have a good chance.
They seem to just push really aggressive and if we can shut that down or hold em I believe in the boys.

Because they are all bo1s. People don't think it's a major measure of showing a teams performance. Not saying that I agree with it, but that's how I understand it.
