So we’re back now at TI. It’s been a while. It’s been a year. Last year we had an amazing run getting second place, but it’s also bittersweet when you’re that close and you feel like you’re steamrolling everyone until the finals and you get stopped in your tracks. But I would really like this year for us to show that we can overcome this. We already did it at the last big tournament in Riyadh. So I don’t see any reason why we can’t do it here.

The second map was in one direction, and Talon Esports destroyed their opponent with a total score of 34:13. At the moment, this map is the fastest in the tournament with a time of 24 minutes and 6 seconds.
