Im a bit enraged by the fact that no other than 8 teams were given a spot. Mainly because of the fact that several of the teams on the enrollment list are at least as good as some of the chosen teams, but are beeing neglected and have to stand in line like everyone else. Some of these teams have as much of a chance as the chosen eight to win this entire thing.
fnatic has chosen which teams are to be the eight finalists, and give away the rest of the spots to randoms, not even close to beeing able to win any match at all. HF, we're not even going to try to "check-in".
