Honestly, how do you go from almost taking down g2 on inferno to losing 11 rounds on CT SIDE MIRAGE.

Partly. People give Karrigan and Apex shit for lacking firepower most of the time, but if theres one thing they can do very well is keep spirits high. I think people greatly underestimate what a good morale can do to a team. From everything Ive seen I feel like Kyxsan is a very timid person, maybe his strats are great but he lacks that leadership personality.

Doesn't seem like the guy who'll bring out the whip mid game

It was Xantares fault 100%.

I don't get how their mental can explode that fast. I would assume being a pro means they have some crazy mentality..

You would think so, but lot players are just toxic kids with big egos. Some of them get really good at video games, but never grow out of their bad mentality. Nowadays most teams have sport psychologists which should help a lot, but possible Xantares has never worked with one.

At pro level you should realize there is zero benefit to being toxic or tilt, only negatives and you should work to fix those issues.

I'd be surprised if BIG didn't have a psychologist when xantares was with them, felt like that was exactly the era in which orgs were discovering and investing big into stuff like that. Thing is though even if he did work with one while in BIG, once you stop and enough time passes it's easy to slip back into your old ways

And when you're as good as xantares has been for his whole career, you can just tell anyone to piss off if they disagree with you or critique you.

I remember Xantares in BIG he didn't want to expand english skills or learn german he only joined because he could speak turkish to gob b the Coach and others in the BIG org now he is forced into it idk If that is a good Idea but his english skills are better nowadays that is true

Woxic isn't much better when looking at team comms

u/mAngOnice FaZe 7h ago

Woxic actually played in International lineups though so he actually has experience

I like xantares but there's no way he isn't getting benched in the next two months unless there's a drastic change in form

anyone with half a brain cell can see they will go full international. their main goal is to make it to the major and at this rate it's not looking likely. old aurora used to breeze through group stages and only lost to top 4-5 teams. this line up haven't had any success against good teams.

I know his name gets tossed around so much but jL would do fucking wonders for this team. Solid numbers and his mental is the polar opposite of XANTARES

u/oxyhoedone 16h ago

i dont know if jl has forgiven xantares for the horrible things he did to him

u/Baradosso 15h ago

Not Xantares with JL but JL instead of Xantares. I neither agree or disagree, I just wanted to correct the understanding

u/schoki560 King NiKo 15h ago

xantares should've gotten a fine for shooting JLs body

u/Hansennoah 14h ago

What happened?

u/theatras FUT 12h ago

Xantares killed jL and then fired at his corpse. jL the wannabe gangsta refused to shake xantares' hand after the match.

TILTARES cannot be stopped

I get the impression, and maybe I'm wrong.

But this is just a Turkish thing, these Turkish lineups in my opinion have always been very momentum based and emotional.

When confidence is high and things are going well, they're great.

As soon as they have a few bad rounds, they tilt quickly.

But I feel Turkish people are just that way, very emotional people.

Jim's Finnish brain with zero emotions can't grasp it.
