bring papatronic back to rifle, install blad3 into the monitor

they lost to the #1 and #2 ranked teams in playoffs of their first two events together lol. why are people acting like C9 has been some failure that drops out in groups? I don't think C9 is going to have an era because the upgrades they made aren't as big as people think. It's not prime electronic and perfecto is overrated, he's still just a support player. they certainly will be a great team and could win a tournament or two, even a major but an era is unlikely unless they get an actual upgrade to make them a super team like donk > hobbit.

Tiktok brain was clearly a reference to the 3 word replies above who pride themselves on not able to have the attention span to read a few paragraphs. Forgive me for not making braindead bait threads and actually try to bring up something not discussed a lot Yeah it's ironic I bring up the moneyball point in which the fan knows jackshit what goes on behind the scenes but we have interview snippets to go off from and your flair is exemplary for why we give too much focus on igls Hooxi doesn't call m0nesy's rotates. He doesn't even call CT side. He thought pistol rounds were completely random until he learned from hunter they arent where they went to on a 70% winrate at their peak. He doesn't tell Niko to consistently deliver frags yard on nuke. He doesn't tell when jks should pop out of palace on the lurk. Likewise when the team is failing individually and m0nesy is whiffing all his shots that's not on the igl and I'm not going to fault him on that We should be pushing to treat igls more towards as individual players to judge rather than solely their calling. Let's look at their highly successful inferno, It's such a huge advantage to have the best banana player in the world because you can send the rest of the squad on A and have more trade potential. The opponents have to respect B and sometimes send their awp even though they know it's most likely just Niko. They first have to condition g2 by shutting him down multiple times to show that he can't solo entry against them so they can be more lenient and overrotate on A I don't really credit hooxi for igling that way. It's just logical counter strike. Hooxi has decent calling and conditioning but I think he is a highly replaceable igl because of his abysmal fragging. If g2 win everything I won't call him a top igl, if they lose everything I won't call him the worst igl as I know it's impossible for it to be all his fault

the task of the igl isnt to tell every player every move, so the coach isnt either. both want to get every player in their most comfortable position to make them get the best possible outcome. the coac tries to make it as good as pos in a theoretical scenario while the igl makes adjustment during the game with his own view and the player input every match. p.s someone calling in pugs isnt a igl and no matter how good of an igl youre you wont have a huge impact with calling during pugs. it will help if youre really good but for the most, its just not possible to do so since you cant pull any real tactic or build a system or know any player in a pug, if youre with players you can work with on a proper level they should mostly be aware enoguh for them selfs for the most part if were talking about pug calls. in most cases its just a direction as a team that might help to gather players but every player with a decent understanding of a game can do that :D
