The players themselves have expressed that it means more to them to win a masters or champs because that is their true goal, etc is cool but if you asked any of the the team heretics players who won last year they would trade that for winning a masters in a heartbeat. The tournament therefore doesn’t truly show strength because the best teams like nrg or lev are not putting their focus into these games, it doesn’t matter to them and it hurt teams who did try last year.
