Stockholm was the most important

It just proves that some older IGLs are able to unleash the potential of mostly youngsters and play less centered tactical cs. Different meta than what we were used to.

shows how much the most important trait to have to stay in tier 1 is motivation, very easy to lose motivation in cs when youre grinding so many hours every day with very little rest, even super talented players like kennys can fall flat at 26. skill is one thing, but then you need the focus to use it every round you play. karrigan is 32 but he's still one of the best igls and even stepped up individually and has some impact rounds. i hope this trend continues and in the future players have longer careers
