I would be very surprised if he wins too many weak matches than most teams in the EMEA qualifiers
SMB is ok but OXG is not a super team, they are pretty unstable guys except than XiSTOU. Every time they got success with some extra performances. SMB will be good as Acend but in time, it is not possible at the moment because it is a very new team, they got EMEA slot just withnin 20 days. FF = FPX, Low gun power but high game sens, they can do smth for lower tiers but not much.
But SMB are still gonna do better than forZe and NaVi. SMB does look strong though. And OXG is not even that weak compared to the rest of EMEA. They might not be like top 10. But they are still like at least top 15. SMB does look much stronger than them though. So I think it's quite possible for SMB to make an insane run here.
