Nope, they didn't go to Masters last year because they were shit before LCQ. Same as this year, they replaced their worst player for heat, and now won (against FURIA though).
imma be honest mta wasnt their worst player at all and they didnt change it they got heat because he was injured but ended with heat because mta recovered but didnt train with the team enough time to prepare and now he is gonna most likely join in place of melser or klaus in the future
