Teams like Fnatic and LG arent good because of their tactics or just hardwork. Mid round and endgame play is something you work on by understanding your team mates, and reading the game well on the fly, yes practice is also the way to do that but its not something you teach each other to do. Its something you need to pick up and observe as you play with your team and good team players will pick that up over the course of 6 months or a year or however long the core has been together,. I dono.. seems like a bit of a lazy excuse but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. If your practice is that bad you arent going to get to big leads in the first place. So it cant be just that now that I think about it. | ||

Thus the big decision making process for them isnt hindered by the chaos of the round, etc. Its why their game play is so smooth and why they remain calm when down in the round. You can see when TL fucks up something, they just go into "oh shit" mode and mentally kill themselves, not unlike astralis Yeah but neither of this things involved them playing for an extensive period of time. Fnatics 2015 showed that style pretty quick after forming and same for this iteration of LG. Frankly to a large degree, Some combinatios of players just get it and some dont. Its not just training, its like musicians, some can play in the pocket and some just cant. | ||

Didn't it leak or something, the guy made like $20k/year which is something like the average wage of a McDonalds worker? No one is saying shit like Timmy's a fraud he's bad at flipping burgers. Nah man you make 20k you're expected to be shit at your job or you're expected to do something easy. If he had done a good job for $20k I'd have been a whole lot more offended. As it is you can't blame a 20k dude for doing a 20k job. You can blame an org for renting a bad cheerleader. | ||

Also, the concept of taking anything elige says with anything other than a grain of salt. These dudes will look for ANYONE to scapegoat while taking none of the blame. Even adren is on record defending gbjames as a decent coach or is adren somehow less credible than elige all of a sudden? | ||

The guy was on the defensive and he wasn't getting paid enough for the amount of shit he got. What 20k guy is under that much public pressure? Hell, he was doing a job which coincided with many months of Liquid playing as good as they ever did (and possibly ever will). I'd say he earned his 20k, if nothing else because he took the job for that amount. People talk about work ethic, for 20k I admittedly wouldn't have any. I'd flip my burgers in solemn silence, contemplating death. | ||
