Reality Check for TL

#1

They've tought it was going to be easy, It wasn't.

International tournaments like this are never easy and If they keep playing like this they will not be able to compete with C9W or G2.

Humbleness is good, it's better to learn It now than after just like VKS vs SEN 2021.

Actually this is language barrier. She thought that phrase in portuguese and translated in her mind. Then when she spoke in English sounded like that.
But I Agree. They and BR as community thought that would be easy. I don't think so.

Before starting, i thought G2 and C9W would stomp everyone, but from what I saw in this tournament only:
G2 >>>>> Shopify >>>> Liquid = Fennel = C9W = Guild X >>>>>>>> X10S >>>>>>>>>>>> KRU
Of course teams can improve throughout the tournament and stop underperforming (Liquid, C9W and GuildX), but this seems to be an easy win for G2

do people actually think c9w are in the middle of the pack cuz of the game against G2
the entire game was just G2 hard countering them, it was a research diff
if its a rematch/long term c9 are expected to win

It was a language barrier, she isn't fluent in English and she didn't mean to trash talk and it became a meme, it's just people being dishonest and baiting, nothing much. + plus really enjoyed the Fennel creativity.
