В ходе турнира FISSURE Playground 3 команда magic одержала победы над FaZe и PARIVISION, однако их выступление завершилось после поражения от Alliance до начала стадии плей-офф.
Игрок команды отметил, что составу необходимо работать над улучшением пула карт и системы выбора, так как на текущий момент они чрезмерно полагаются на Ancient.
We’re not ready to actually win tournaments, to play at that high a level consistently. I think we’ll get there, it just takes time.
