XSET winning is good for NA

I think XSET proved today that they are a damn good team with a great map pool and all-around great players, we will have two very good representatives in Copenhagen. As for Optic, I'm glad that this game exposed a lot of problems (Ascent attack, Haven defense, Bind in general) that I'm sure they'll fix for LAN. Also, I think Optic has slow starts and usually warms up as the tournament goes on, so starting in groups can help them get the feel of LAN again, assuming they don't get upset. I definitely feel like both NA teams can make a deep run at Copenhagen, exciting times!

No worries. The only reason Optic lost is to ensure that Xset don't get grouped due to LAN pressure.
