With M80’s victory against Fnatic, this also marks the first time in almost 5 years that an NA team not named Complexity or Liquid have made it to the playoffs of a tier 1 event. The last time that happened was in EPICENTER 2019 with Evil Geniuses.

Incase you were curious about the second image, EG went out 3-4th place. Roster at the time consisted of this, was a top 5 team at the time:
* stanislaw
* tarik
* Ethan
* Brehze
* CeRq
NACS has never been more back
Happy for the m80 boys, they’re fun to watch
At EPL 19 after M80 got eliminated, Swisher said their goal for next season would be playoffs. Happy the lads made it happen, and this is after losing their star rifler. All players on M80 stepping up tho.
I feel like this is an overrated stat considering how scuffed the EPL bracket system is. Like really bro, octuple or whatever finals? Granted that means any NA team couldve made it through EPL ever since they started this weird shit but this’ll carry more weight when its an actual top 8.
Happy for the M80 folks. Even after losing Malbs they hit back harder with an upcoming NA Star.
I just love how M80 is actually finding talents in NA compared to the other well known orgs who just leeches.
I would’ve expected like GenG or Extra Salt to break the barrier in the past but I’m just happy M80 broke the curse. Lfg
