the rankings than they were and having much deeper runs um and ever since this announcement that the team is over they've looked like their old selves i think they've climbed up to number two in the world rankings again and you couldn't really say they didn't deserve to be there so um i think they'll i think they'll go on a high here the problem is of course that any tournament navi attends right now especially with the scene in a constant state of flux that's the team you need to be i suppose the good news is vitality generally tend to give them a game so yeah i think i think you know you want a dark horse pick for for these finals vitality are probably it yes it is a bit of a of a bonus i mean we get to all win in this sort of scenario right because before you would think okay it's kind of heroic are going to be the team to give navi a run for their money now we've actually been gifted with another team that can actually you know press navi and so it's not necessarily that that scenario we're going into where every tournament the navi attends it's just going to be a blowout and we just kind of hope that they line up against heroic at some point and then we'll get a match there but otherwise it clearly favors navi i mean do you feel like going into this one after NUMBER_TOKEN days what they'll have had two weeks off to rest nowaday which is something that blade has made very clear in post-match interviews saying you know it's like he needs they want to have time off between tournaments that their system needs like NUMBER_TOKEN days rest to like get re-upped right re-energize for the next tournament do we reckon navi are still the team to beat going into this one oh for sure it's obvious doesn't it yeah and not only that though i'll just add the one thing i think everyone needs to be careful about is kind of understanding uh the nature of of breaks in counter-strike you know think back to team liquid coming out of NUMBER_TOKEN uh you know imperius that would you know won a grand slam in a record space a time and that was because they were consistently attending tournaments and once you take that long break i don't know what the cut-off point is but it can really seriously affect you you might never get back to that equilibrium that you're in when you're at your best and so i said this before the the the only way i can envision this navi lineup not dominating all of NUMBER_TOKEN is if they do something insane like take like a month break a two-month break and then they come back and it's not quite right and you know some external force because right now they're the best line-up in counter-strike you know bar none at the moment and one of the it's one of the best lineups of all time already in the short space that it's sort of uh been dominant for and and so i wouldn't i wouldn't PROFANITY_TOKEN with that well i really wouldn't i'd be very careful about saying the players need breaks between tournaments because all it takes is you know like one you know one errant run where people aren't dialed in they turn up to a
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
