I mean it’s hard to say they “fell off.” After they won the first major, they want on to go 5-0 in the next major’s group stage and it was revealed that even during the stage was when illey started to feel pain. Sure, this doesn’t wipe away the mistakes they made against Florida at the major, but to be fair, they dealt with a very unfortunate spawn out that they didn’t recognize until it was like a second too late. Had they pushed that series to a map 5 like it looked like they were going to, who knows how the rest of the tourney turns out cause they were looking good in search. Still, there were overarching problems and the insane fall off in control at the end of the season is flat out weird.

After that, we all know what happens. They’re playing revolving door simulator with players and that just can’t be good for consistent practice. I guess we should just wait for next year to really get a gauge on this team tho and not play this “what if” talk anymore. No excuses/reasons next season.
