Only black and white
This series was a reality check. Either we praise players to the moon or criticise them. Both of them can be true at times bc they have their ups and downs. But there is no middle ground. I understand it’s nice to cope and especially after first stand there was reason for it. However, the same way we need to be able to criticise them, after the gameplay of today. I’m just astonished about how quick all of it can come falling down.
I guess the sad realisation is, that it seems impossible to actually compete with the best teams. First stand was an anomaly and is due to different factors coming together at the same time. G2 was overperforming and lck was underperforming. As simple as that. This series was how it’s supposed to look like. Watching our goat being so insanely gapped, makes it really hard to have hope. Everything seemed desperate. I’m not even going to talk about the other players. This looked like the G2 almost losing to Furia at last years MSI.
Unless we develope generational talent in Europe, we can have as many coaches, performance coaches, breathing exercises and gym sessions as we want but we will never be able to compete. I think the tes series already showed, that the level of play wasn’t the best, especially seeing them being beaten by tsw. All I’m saying is, that we shouldn’t overhype this team and call people haters, if they critique and say the truth. Also, I hope we at least put up a fight against T1.
