Euro 2016 killed viewers for Cologne Major. So due to World Cup June and July are off, and in August is usually player break.
I'd rather have Major in May, but Valve decides.
Majors are not only tier one tournaments. In last year Epicenter had best games of all tournaments(if you don't count wild card part I don't see how can this be denied).
What run, what champion?
SK lost this one and previous 2 Majors.
There is no run.
For someone who claims that only Majors are important, this is not consistent. Astralis and Gambit won the only two Majors of 2017.
And I'd argue(by my own criteria) that Faze had better 2017. They both won 4 tier one tournaments, and Faze had 4 second places, while SK only had 1.
Don't pull MMAth of SK always beats Faze(which they do), because G2 beat SK in last 5 BO3/BO5s they met. And nobody is claiming G2 is better than SK.
