its poiz getting benched, not mitch...

Unpopular opinion:

There is a very high chance (around 60%) that this is the last tournament that Hiko plays in professional valorant.
He is getting old, washed, and tired, I think that if 100T fails to make Berlin he could step down and decide to do streaming fulltime.
He knows he is the weak link on the team, you can see it on his face during interviews.
I am not trying to hate just speaking the truth so Hiko fans can brace themselves.

Yep.

C9 can still make lcq, Because Sen and V1 (Not sure about V1 but, there name is in dark green on the site.) quailed for champs, So it's the placement from 3-10 that makes lcq. Even if Rise and Tsm get points and finish high, C9 would be 10th place. Meaning there still in it. And then, if a NA team wins Berlin. NA gets a extra slot meaning Gen.G qualifies. (Still could be a tiebreaker between the 2. Gen.G and C9)
