Well they have a tendency to murder the competition so it’s easy for them to secure the qualification.

Edit: i just went and listened to them for 5 seconds and it’s just trash, i don’t know if their language is supposed to sound so “whiny” “biebery” whatever that bleeding heart crap is supposed to be called and drums sound like someone is hitting empty barrels, serious cash changed hands for this qualification…

In a perverse way, I kind of want them to win. I want the organisers to be forced to say the white part loud.
