First game of the season they play solid. Thank god.
Eliminated teams when they have nothing to lose:
they are getting more comfortable and shit + they care about champions more they will have more time to prep for new meta after the viper and cypher nerfs and will do better in stage 2
Going 1-4 still makes it very hard to make champs. Making split 2 playoffs is based on your overall record and giantx still have to play fut/navi/th.
