⚔️ Mid-table Battle

Teams like MDL, VXT, 4W, and EG are stuck in a dangerous zone where one strong game could launch them upward  or one bad rotation could send them straight down.

🚨 Danger Zone

Several teams including VE, TROY, GXR, and OSH are struggling to gain momentum. With limited matches left, they'll need either a chicken dinner or massive finish games to stay competitive.

With every match, the pressure is rising, mistakes are costing more, and standout performances like IQOORNTXNINJA's are becoming the difference between staying alive and fading out.

The grind is real. And it's only getting harder from here.
