Counter Logic Gaming

Actually, this was one that very much impressed me.

How about when they kicked Doublelift out of CLG, brought in Sticks in, who were here, kicked off Paul's better on Doublelift, won the split, went MSI, but then by the time they got to the summer in the fucking Worlds, it was just whatever, weren't they? They just fell off completely.

That's a pretty good example of one that was like a honeymoon period because it was all about like Afromu and the globe of the rookies.

They made the finals on

All of these teams ready to get out of groups.

So you had, what, CLG, TSM, and Cloud9 at Worlds 2015.

They were all on the brink of qualifying.

Basically needed one game each, I believe it was.

TSM also, by the way, I can tell you, they got the nightmare of group draw, and they then did really badly as well.

Spoiler, there's a bunch of those people were fired, including the coaching staff, and moved on.

The one everyone forgets is CLG, who just fucked up their group and lost to Flash Wolves, bro.

Like, they had the group where them and the Crew Tigers were supposed to just get out.

I do remember...

I do remember, and I know this is an old poll, but back in, jeez, 2015 when CLG won...

Do you remember the Xmithie visa situation? Oh,

yeah.

Yeah, I do.

CLG was scrimming with who he is, their jungler, for like a month before Worlds.

And then Xmithie got his visa and they lost in group stage, right? And it probably did screw them over, but at least we got to see the five players there and it felt a little bit more fair.

This one has a bunch of other political stuff tied up in it, but we'll see.
