couvlde been the best player in the world but chose to be arrogant
wardell diff el diablo so bad on andbox he had to go to optic like kevin durant went to the warriors. also see https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Orgless_(Canadian_team)
His refusal to relocate is the main thing holding him back. individual skill, even pros admit he's one of the best opers in NA. His skill itself was never an issue, but more in terms of his limiations (arrogance like you said, and lack of relocating).
Plus you talk about when he was last on top. He's also probably the most consistent oper alongside yey and cryo.
It was also his downfall in CS. His skill was never in question, but more the shit outside the game.
true and hes been in the scene for a long time and he knows lot more things than us., like work ethic , play style and all. and its not like thats the first pro ever talked about na being bad , vanity talks it every other day , and many more pros as well, its just this seemed like more sneaky and corny thats all
