Banks didn’t hold back in his commentary, taking to Twitter to address the "terrible organization" of matches and the tournament as a whole. His criticism reflects the community's frustration as the match between MONTЕ and OG was rescheduled by a staggering 19 hours. The event’s planning has come under scrutiny, with pros and fans alike questioning the implications for players' performance and viewer experience.
