2021 will probably be remembered as the year of CIS dominance, with NAVI and Gambit taking home all of the important trophies with the exception of Heroic’s ESL Pro League Season 13 win.
But the year will also tell the story of the many roster changes, that has happened throughout the year. From the break-up of Astralis to the new looks of Fnatic and NIP to the downfall of Cloud9, Complexity and Evil Geniuses.
One team has prevailed with the same lineup, as they finished 2020 with. Gambit is the only team from last year’s top 20 to still play with the same five members of their roster.
Hobbit: We will do everything in our power to dethrone NAVI next year
