I mean just looking at the stats, one of the biggest differences is we lost more pistols this time.
I think the first time we played them we went 4-0 and I don't think we got eco'd, whereas today we lost most of the pistols and the pistols we won, we got eco'd on.
There were still close games, so just failure in that part for sure, but ultimately, no, they didn't really bring anything different. I would say that the maps are a little bit different.
They picked Mirage instead of Inferno, but overall, we just we just played pretty bad today. Towards the end of Cache we saw Wildcard pull off two B rushes that really caught you guys off guard.
Were you taking aback by level of aggression there after besting them yesterday?
