Nouns are out and the jury is in, I think on balance they were the worst team at this TI. A team can't be measured on the merit of their best games, but on their consistency. They seem to lack any sort of mental fortitude and completely crumbled under pressure both yesterday and today. The match against BB Team was complete humiliation. Yes, it was a bad matchup but they completely messed up even on fundamentals. Stuff like giving away 4 Bounty runes against an Alch team despite having stuns and forgetting about Wisdom runes just shouldn't happen.

It's a shame they couldn't replicate their best performances when it really mattered, but at the end of the day that's what separates the good teams from the bad.
