I feel like they were overhyped. The fact that they lost 13-4 and 13-2 is concerning. Had they lost 13-8 or so i wouldnt be concerned but only 4 rounds against c9. Guard might not stand a chance internationally
Every loss is a learning opportunity. C9 studied the hell out of The Guard and counterstratted them hard. Like s0v4k said, if The Guard can bounce back and become stronger then they are a team to be feared.
Plus this is a new meta, therefore new strats. It will take time to figure it out, but The Guard won't fall behind.
