Episode 161: w/ mauisnake! NiP, Astralis, BCG, M80, Spirit all make changes, Budapest Major is over!

But I have this like I'm trying to like toy with this idea right now when I look around and I see like teams that have that are constructed in the way of like Malzahn exertion with one of your like primary star players being sort of like a frontline playmaker type.

Episode 161: w/ mauisnake! NiP, Astralis, BCG, M80, Spirit all make changes, Budapest Major is over!

I feel like there's a lot of teams with that sort of a setup and that sort of a build that struggle there.

You know, if you think of Aurora with Zantara's as well, if you think of Liquid with a leash on top of all that, like these kind of like frontline playmaker guys that are so hardcore dedicated as like your star number player as well.

I feel like they're just so up and down because you put these guys in a position where, yeah, they are kind of a guy who carries you to wins, but.

Episode 161: w/ mauisnake! NiP, Astralis, BCG, M80, Spirit all make changes, Budapest Major is over!

The only one that I can point at around the scene and say, like, you're kind of getting away with it is Spirit.

Episode 161: w/ mauisnake! NiP, Astralis, BCG, M80, Spirit all make changes, Budapest Major is over!

But those those like kind of guys like the the exertions, the Zantaras, the Elysias, I feel like are all kind of like struggling to find any kind of consistency and impact that we expect them to in their teams right now.

I feel like that role at the moment is really, really fucking tricky to make as a star player.

Episode 161: w/ mauisnake! NiP, Astralis, BCG, M80, Spirit all make changes, Budapest Major is over!

Um, the positives, I guess the, the positive, the teams that overperformed like phase and Navi, like I did, I did, uh, the show with Duncan and Sam, uh, yesterday and they wanted the, the topic of that was like all about phase.
