For the moment, I guess they are too streched. 2 domestic events going all the way from lowers, Santiago making to top 3. They didn't have enough time to really figure out what went wrong for them, and I noticed except keiko, other players' mechanics really took some downfall. With the current meta heavily reliant on brute mechanics, every team should have at least 2 duelist players that can come up big time. mada is kind of a team player rather than a big time player, and we can see he's not as terrific as last year.
Right now, they have some time to re-evaluate what went wrong, and study the new meta.
