Yeah, now Axiom just needs to keep on getting solid wins, but the fact that they have a positive map score with a 1-2 record is very good, since it will likely go down to tie breaks.

So what's the situation with iG and Mouz?

I was hoping for a 5-3 or 5-4 win as a best case scenario. To win 5-1 over a team as strong as yoe Flash Wolves is a great achievement. Well done CranK and Heart. Good stuff.

Just gotta get revenge on mYinsanity tonight now. :D

I tell you what guys looking at Axiom's next three games in the ATC (iG, coL-Dignitas and NewRoSoft) it's a great chance to go 4-2 overall and that will put Axiom right back up there. Realistically Axiom should be winning these games and it's important that they do so because it's tricky run after that aside from Empire-Fnatic.

i agree the thing is 2 of axioms first matches were teams with very good momentum potential due to having 1 or 2 very strong players (forgg,jjakji) and they weren't able to shut those teams down early. Having been able to do so to one of the other "all-kill" potential teams is a great boost. (strongest teams in league are likely liquid, EG, yoe, acer, myi and axiom EGs not doing great though) millenium being a dark horse team for this and mous now sans dear is unlikely to do to well

Axiom is going to need to hope for the top teams to cannibalize each other. Then again, last season teams were able to qualify for the Top 4 with map scores of 5-4, which is barely over 50%.

Season 1:
Top 2: 10-6 match score
Top 4: 10-6 match score

Season 2:
Top 2: 6-3 match score
Top 4: 5-4 match score

If history is any indication, and given that there are 11 matches each team plays, I'd guess top 4 might be sufficient with a 6-5 match score, or a 7-4 score to be safe. Thus, Axiom theoretically may have 2 or even 3 matches they could still lose, provided they maintain a high map score for tiebreaks.
