What do you think they lacked during VCT APAC? Was it the mentality? Did they underestimate themselves? Suddenly they take on such an aggressive playstyle and holy! Its working!
You said their style is working rn, you are probably referring to GXR, and probably one against BLD and PRX since boom performed so shit generally.

The stats against bleed show that they were close, meaning bleed could’ve won if small things changed. But stats against prx show they got absolutely dominated. I would call this a BO1 fluke.
