Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Team Liquid can stand on this line: "100 Thieves won a perfect 12 rounds on their T side, as well as their CT pistol round to make it a clean 13-0." It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
