A Challengers Team having the ability to voluntarily drop someone after qualifying for EWC is so ridiculous.
Henry has worked so hard all year to qualify for EWC and get an opportunity to showcase himself against the Pros and earn a decent chunk of cash.
All for nought!

Consider this as a leak if you want but there’s quite a clear reason as to why Exnid will be flexing for Falcons rather than the short term option.
All signs and current rumours for the BO7 Falcons roster point towards Exnid as the Flex and Pred with a new high profile SMG Duo.

Just something for you all to consider regarding the Milly situation.
That Stallions roster was the #16 seed in NA and 10k PPs behind the 14 seed and 30k behind the 12 seed.
The Top 4 seeds after Dreamhack auto qualify for Challengers Champs along side the 2 finalists at Dreamhack, with that the LCQ this year is only 8 teams the lowest possible seed that could have a chance to make champs is #14 and #12 if no NA teams are in the Grand Finals.
Milly has gone to a team that’s guaranteed at the very least an LCQ slot whereas Stallions would’ve need a very good placement to have a chance to make it to the LCQ.
