Obviously winning is fun and SR just won the biggest tourney in GC back to back. They won without dropping a single map, let alone a series with a +40 round diff. SR rolled harder than last year and they only dropped 3 maps last year. I feel like going into every series knowing you're going to win might take some of the excitement out of it.
Whats also funny is that everyone outside of Noia played worse than last year, stats wise. If they can take the next step as a team, they might make T2 through quals, not saying they can ascend, but GC is too easy for them
