The Take

It’s one club all the way through: Splyce became MAD Lions, then MAD Lions KOI, then Movistar KOI. In 2019 they at least took a game off T1. Last year they didn’t get one.

“We have all dreamed of a T1 against KOI at a Worlds, in a quarterfinal or a two-two. If we go out, let Faker be the one who knocks us out.”
