Hoping Japan really turns up, their players are capable but more importantly their scene has fought to stay alive financially for a while now and how they do this year in the WC is gonna really impact things there.

If this Japanese dude is godly on Widow, Russia might be in trouble. Mistakes’ Widow was poor earlier

I am anticipating Japan is at least going to be the spoiler team, whichever team among Finland, Russia, or South Korea loses more maps against Japan to, will likely lose the group stage.

Wow. Samuraid. Nice Rein play.
