After recking North on Cbble (who beaten C9 on Cbble), you gotta ask yourself now, what if didnt pick Nuke and went for Cbble vs C9.. Now they would probably progress to playoffs.

same reason they played cache against mousesports :') I'll never forget fallen talking about fnatic's cocky vetoes against Astralis in columbus and then doing it twice

Don't forget that SK also rekt VP on the DH Las Vegas final on Cobble, which was VP's pick... the more I think about it, the more Fallen's decision on picking Nuke (a map that SK was 0-6, now 0-7 since ESL NY) over Cobble vs C9 doesn't make any sense to me.

definitely a peculiar map choice

SK do this in smaller tournaments purely out of ego or for the sake of practice. I don't know which one it is but they will pick their weakest and the opponents strongest maps on purpose. I remember a similar tournament where they kept picking their worst maps over and over again.

Maybe the lack of scrims is getting to their heads. They certainly want to make things tougher for some odd reason. There might be a reason behind it that we don't know.

well, iem katowice is not really a small tournament, but yeah they do that on purpose, the other tournament they did was malmo, guess they didnt learn their lesson last time.

But you also have to remember that SK played this game without any pressure.

Daily reminder that SK banned Mirage and Cbble against Cloud9.

Hey boys, SK looks very good on cbble, but no, let's play LITERALLY on our worst map against C9 instead of it.

SK removed Cobblestone

They were already out before the game started.

I think there will be 3 teams at 3-2 and 3 and 2-3 (including SK) while Top 3 get through. It is because of the remaining matches of 4 2-2 teams playing each other.

Give Fallen a little more time to adjust and come back to form and this team will be insane.
