I’m going to say this is a Dragon’s win, Valiant have been improving but they still seem to be a lower tier team, though I said the same about Outlaws a few weeks ago and they have really stepped up their game, so who knows.

Hopefully Shanghai can keep it up. Florida should take notes on the Dragons on how you should rebuild your team.

The Blizzard Arena doesn’t even receive their first staff until around noon… on weekdays that is.

What team do you support?

12

Root for the Shock. They were horrible last year, stuck with them now they are one of the best.

13

Envy being flexible helps Shanghai a lot

14

I appreciate LAV’s commitment to just yoinking the best parts of Mayhem Academy (RIP). Shax and FCT both playing, Promise and Reprize both coaching

15

HOW DID FCT STAY ALIVE THEN?! He dropped to single digit health there!

16

The Mayhem let them do that, or they don’t have a choice?

17

Promise joined pre-season.

FCT, Shax and McGravy were part of a 3 for 1 trade fore Fate (McGravy from the main team)

Reprize was literally announced earlier today, so a few weeks after Mayhem had dropped their academy.
