I'm gonna give this one to C9, but I think it should be a good match regardless!
I think splitting splitting the 12 games (total) over three days, not including playoff days, may have helped with that. basically just making sure no team plays more than two games in the same day since both C9 and Rogue looked visible spent at the end and that more than likely had an effect on their performance.
Dare I say that C9 may possibly have just done better against Hammers if it was the case.
