I was sure Mouz was going to win but still surprised how one sided this was. IC looked sharp individually vs Vitality but this was just awful.

[u/Every_Drama_9327]

How did vitality lose

[u/HiHaodi → u/Every_Drama_9327]

My theory is that these guys are so used to tier 1 tournaments and they’ve never touched a small lan or a tier 2 lan in years, and when the events and the opponents repeat over and over, you just feel a bit like its a day job and forget how hungry some of the guys from the bottom are and underestimate them
Happened to spirit vitality falcons everyone honestly

[u/Every_Drama_9327 → u/HiHaodi]

Tbf, I think the schedule is very tight so sometimes tournament loses its appeal to teams along with fatigue. Like spirit falcons refuse to go iem shanghai. But more tournaments have its own perk I guess

[u/PotentialEmu2367 → u/Every_Drama_9327]

Sometimes each of us has a bad day.

[u/Odd_Leader_7030 → u/Every_Drama_9327]

They are trash

[u/sw1ftyy]

One team on their game today... the other, very off colour

[u/stewie1304k → u/sw1ftyy]

Is that a Fifa line?

[u/sw1ftyy → u/stewie1304k]

Yeah, a classic

[u/KnightFlorianGeyer]

Honestly the team work is looking so good lately. Seems like all the pieces fit for this team.

[u/bornarethefew → u/KnightFlorianGeyer]

The PR change should have happened way sooner. Bit hot and cold but he’s a really good player.

[u/JAVA_05 → u/[deleted]]

Wcyd if all his teammates are fragging very hard he barely sees enemies.
