They just brought in a new player, changed positions for a lot of other guys.

Arguably should still be able to beat Sinners, but...

I don't think this result is be all end all for this sort of conversation.

But I think you would see it happen with a lot of teams.

You even see it happen at tier one tournaments when teams like Foot show up and Paravision show up and are able to sort of run the bracket and beat a lot of these teams that are more established.

I think it's just showing that these teams aren't that great.

And the reason for that is...

twofold in a way it is true that when vitality and falcons play each other it's a different sort of game than when vitality plays gamer legion or falcons play sure tai lu or whatever right because these teams and these players are operating on a much higher level their understanding of the game is super high so everything that happens on the map is

There's the obvious thing that's happened, but there's also the implications of that.

They're on a band of higher understanding between that group of players and teams.

So you know this is where the gap is, you know what the most likely reaction is, and you're trying to already be one step ahead of that.

let's say that's how these players, there's a lot of mind games.

Except the other guy doesn't know what his reaction is supposed to be.

There's a lot of mind games involved in that, right?

But when it comes to playing a tier one team versus a tier two team, those players aren't able to operate at high of a level.

Let's say things are a little bit more set for them and it's just going by the book or whatever and they're not going to...

get into those mind games as much they're going to simplify it a bit and I think the problem is for some of these tier 1 teams like they're whether it's fundamentals or just their floor at times isn't high enough where you just need to play more or less basic CS you don't need to think too much about

having trick plays and out mind gaming your opponent.

You just need to play standard CS in a way, obviously react to what they're doing and prepare for them, see what their tendencies are and see how you can punish them.

But you don't need to do anything crazy, right?
