    HObbit is playing his first event with PARIVISION since joining the lineup permanently, helping the team beat Natus Vincere and reach the ESL Pro League playoffs.

    BC.Game CEO asks for fresh start: "Take all our points away"

    TaZ on Valve's new region rule: "Difficult for me to accept"

    BC.Game coach TaZ has spoken out against Valve's updated Major Supplemental Rulebook, which bars teams from changing regions before a Major and has effectively knocked BC.Game out of the race for PGL Major Singapore. He said the team followed the rules in place at the time, built an eligible roster and appeared on the Asian VRS in October's ranking update, calling the timing of the immediate three-month regional restriction difficult to accept. TaZ added that BC.Game will communicate with Valve and respect the final decision.

    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.

He acknowledged parallels to how the Astralis era ended through players stepping away and taking breaks, but said Vitality will do anything to be good again. ropz also said downloadable practice demos make strategies hard to hide, and that playing with stand-ins while apEX and mezii are away for childbirth has been demotivating at times.
