They are the BLG of this event they are not good, caught LEV and debatebly VIT (Sayf played mid this whole event) on a horrible day.
nope they are even much better than last yr's EDG
it was a stylistic diff which is now being punished by EDG who is used to it
if Trace were to go against FNC, DRX, SEN off rip in groups, 80% they win
It's just regional match up. Idk why ppl are surprised. Regional vs international match up very different.
This was always going to be the worst matchup for Trace. EDG will ban their best map (ascent) and EDG have experience playing versus Trace.
