Top 9 teams have same level. Game win goes to who not choked in that day
nah t1 vs boom - close
t1 vs prx - close
ns vs drx - close
t1 vs drx - close
Their is not gaps. only bad matchups. like talon good against sea teams. prx mentally bad against some teams(dfm, ts, geng),
geng and ns both pretty tired in lower bracket(geng play 3 on 3 days). ns played talon after that ot match
Lot of games was 2-1 series. even Geng looked bad at first game against DRX and after few games they looked better.
NS and RRQ had long ot it cause talon to win that. now talon new team has strong players.
GE caught with visa issues and small amount of prac they done good. boom show they are better.

^this is GENG with 2 new players btw, and PRX with oldest core losing to DFM
top 9 is too much of a stretch that is just pure delusion.

"close game" but T1 batters BME 13-7 and changed so much after this game while BME went out 0-2. Top 3 teams are interchangeable I guess, but top 9? stop feeding yourself copium, its not healthy.
