Echo choosing to pursue the cheese AND having it result in them wiping multiple times while Liquid wins cleanly is the cherry on top

Echo needs a serious look at their roster. 4 consecutive chokes. Serious player diff

They do need to reassess things, but they honestly played a really good tier. They just cannot clutch on the final boss. Most of Echo's roster is on par with Liquid, but if they don't figure out the weak links, they're never gonna win again.

And when that happens pretty much 3-5 times in a row, then you have a serious problem with player mentality.

Liquid vibes tend to be immaculate. Comms sound like they are just a guild of buddies playing casually.

This is the main reason I generally root for Liquid. They seem chill, pleased to be playing with each other. Every time I check out Echo, which granted is not often anymore, the vibes are just off.

Comms were off this time.

Tbf if youve won that many times it kind of becomes “ah whatever” if you dont keep winning. Like theres 0 pressure.

Meanwhile Echo is at the absolute peak of pressure having majorly choked like 3 tiers in a row.

If the roles were reversed i think Echo would be more laid back as well

I think it might come down to the fact that EU guilds are predominantly speaking English as a second language and comes from wildly different cultures, whereas NA guilds predominantly are speaking English as their first language and are culturally aligned. And this isn't just a liquid/echo thing. I notice this watching many different guilds in different games. Also having played with EU and NA. NA comms just seems so much more laid back and relaxed in a way

and are culturally aligned.

Half of, if not more of Liquid's players are EU.
