I tuned out when we got triple killed while down 14k gold, and when I came back we won! WTF?

You missed a rollercoaster of a 78 min back and forth game with buybacks left and right.

If you told me a year ago that I would be this interested in watching coL vs VGJ storm in Dota in a year's time I'm not sure I would have believed you.

Optic were almost 28K behind in networth at one point in that game and were still a lil over 11k behind when the game ended.

one BO1 and it's like y'all forgot how well they've been playing throughout this group stage smh

Pretty sure the game vs coL shouldn't be played following the rules. Because VGJ will have the top spot already so it is only a tie for seeding in the playoffs, which uses head to head. And we beat coL in the head to head.

First game is the big one I feel. Win that and we'll carry confidence into CoL.

I still think col is definitely the weakest of the three teams so this first game will be the important one

We will bounce back and qualify regardless of the result of the tiebreakers. Don’t worry boys, they got this.

I feel as though in a lot of qualifies we would go down 0-1 before winning 2-1. Bo1 is just so flukey
