    nafany: "I don't understand why players in Europe are not doing what we did with TDK"

    After leading 1win past Spirit to reach the ESL Pro League playoffs in Katowice, nafany said he doesn't understand why players in Europe don't follow what his team did with TDK, funding their own tournaments while inactive. He pointed to cheap flights and plenty of LANs in Europe, arguing the real problem is that people don't want to do things by themselves. 1win had already beaten G2 and Legacy, and now sit 11th on the live VRS with an 89% chance of making the Major.
