5-5 in calibrations, mmr only moved down 4.

Ancient 7. Gonna have to start a slow and small grind to get back to divine now. Had a game ruining immortal (Tiny tosser) in one of my calibration games even with a 10k player behavior score. There is something about people who have given up their life to play dotes that drives them towards madness.

I wonder if Forward Gaming will break up. They haven't had a solid position in a tournament since...TI?

OG looking a bit better, true test for them will be Gambit (odd to say that) since they constantly get humped by them and might also have to play them in the minor, confidence from a win will go a long way.

I wonder if Forward Gaming will break up. They haven't had a solid position in a tournament since...TI?

A disband might be going too far, but I would expect changes for a lot of teams including Forward after this major, so I guess it depends who becomes available.

I... suppose that's an improvement? Kotl ult just wrecks OG, reminds me of how AA was always good against them.

Now to go watch some of Liquid's replays since Miracle went 83/7/43 throughout the playoffs at MDL Macau, sounds like they back on top.

I got to say, CCNC has really impressed me every time he has played for EG. He has really stepped up to the plate and performed very well.
