go from "good chance of beating PRX and making it to Masters Madrid" to their 2-4 Split 1?????
and then being an absolute beast in playoffs, to being 0-2 in Shanghai???????
2-4 Split 1.
Pacific runs 23 days Stage 1 as compared to every other region (30days). T1 opening game (vs PRX)+ next 3 game (DFM/DRX/RRQ) all played within 9 days.... In those 9 days of heavy schedule, Xccurate had to play whilst having injured hand AND T1 had to relocate to basecamp (1 hour away) due to their headquarters got DDOS'd. T1 attacking side is terrible and they have a habit of throwing leads as well. Heavy schedule, lack of preparation and external factors were big cause of those 9days.
T1 was 0-3 on their first 3 games (6days in start of split 1).
