The Ultimates look better

13-11 12-14 12-14 against many people's favourites to win the whole thing. What am improvement they've had over the last few days. If they can win their last game against SAW convincingly there's still a chance they move on. And even if they don't, they put on a pretty decent showing, relative to most people's expectations of MENA heading into Ascension

Note: it's really not unrealistic for them to move on. Here's what needs to happen:

• JL win both games (likely)
• TU beats SAW convincingly (judging by the MOUZ game, likely)
• SAW or MOUZ beat PCF (probable)
• some map differential stuff

Its not that they had an insane improvement, more that the first game was a huge underperformance
While no one was rating them super highly the pro player "based on scrims" tierlists I saw going into ascension all had them in the middle of the pack

Fighter has pleasantly surprised though for sure, was worried the transition time would be too slow for this tourney, but he fragged super well today

please riot just make everyone go to franchising (except Apeks), I want more games, more orgs with a chance to go to champions and masters. I swear i'll buy more skins

Falcons has always been a contender for Ascension, they just struggle a lot with closing maps, they should be better than most teams here in theory
