Tenz, Cned, Nats, f0rsakeN, Asuna
what's your top 5??
I'm not too sure about that Tenz part this time around. This is super unpopular opinion, but I feel like he has to prove himself again in Berlin. I mean he played amazingly in Iceland, but at the same time they spend like 2 weeks+ there before the tournament even started. This time around they will only have like max week to stay there before the tournament start. At least I've gotten the idea that he struggles with traveling and staying in hotels etc and now he won't have as much time to adjust to it. I might be wrong (most likely), but I feel people jumped on this "Tenz performs amazing on LAN" too quickly after 1 "semi-tournament". No crowd, untypical stage layout, 2 week quarantine etc.
this past week i was on the plane to go to berlin, to go on a honeymoon with C9 alexis. i was pleased to see out the corner of my eye, the entire G2 team preparing to get on the same plane. there was a man looking very distressed in front of me in the metal detector line. i recognized him, but couldn’t put a name to his face. then, as i was wracking my brain to figure out who it was, the security guard says, “alright sir, please place your back on the line and walk through.” he looks right at the G2 team, and reaches in his backpack and pulls out 2 grenades and takes the cap off and throws them. the entire airport erupted in screams. then, instantly, a man named Žygimantas Chmieliauskas jumps to action. he picks up the nades and chucks them so far out the airport window that it goes into an empty field nearby, where no ones’ lives were taken. he then softly kissed me on the forehead and told me it would all be okay.
