Very happy to see Passion UA qualify for RMR Shanghai and proud to see them succeed, well done bro!!!
This is just crazy for our CZ/SK scene.
It's embarrassing, really. I don't know what's going to happen next. I/we deserve all the hate we can get. Every team that has beaten us has been better, sharper, smarter than us.
