After the Fanatic and G2 Esports debacle, we were not for too many demands, and it cannot be said that Rogue manages to reach the quarterfinals unfairly. However, the rogues have left the feeling that the last hope of the West is that of 1% possibilities and 99% of faith. The European teams participating in the 2022 Worlds have signed the worst second round in the history of the region , being able to win only one of the ten games played. The registration worsens the results of 2014, last time that no team on the continent was able to reach the best of five.

The situation is unprecedented in history, because until now the region had never chained two World Cup editions with such discreet results . However, that is not the only record that continues.

However, taking into account the history of all world championships played in the current format, The possibilities of a second classified of groups to advance in the Worlds are 34%. They say that statistics are to break them, and we will have to see if the training week serves to get what it now seems fed improbable.
