0-3 vs TeamHeretics and we finish 3rd at Masters Shanghai, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this. We proved a lot of people wrong coming this far in the tournament but fell short at the very end. We’ve learned so much about ourselves during our time here and it’s the most valuable thing to gain and bring into stage 2. The amount of love and support that was shown by the Chinese crowd/community was so unexpected and I am forever grateful.
