They are are doing rather awful at the moment, it's undeniable, but they had decent results tonight in ESL Pro League to make for a change.
Their most terrible performance at the moment is in ECS where they are 1 to 9 and will likely fight for relegation. But we knew it was going to be rather unlikely they finish in Top4 so who cares 5th or 9th, as long as they maintain themselves in the league. Winning points in ECS won't matter whereas they still have a fair shot at qualifying for EPL so I'd rather have them focusing on that part like they did tonight.
But as much as LAN results are concerned, I don't expect much. Too inconsistent, not enough fire-power, questionable decisions overall. French teams stopped force buying like cretins but that's pretty much the only improvement you can see in their gameplay.
As I said above, I have higher hopes in Vitality but they had a lot of expectations on their shoulders for the IEM Qualifier and clearly didn't hold on to them so we'll see what happens next.
On the bright side, LDLC are having much better results lately and with 3DMAX still doing good, we could have two French teams establishing themselves as Top Tier 3 and serious contenders for T2.
