feels bad for mwzera rip gamelanders
But who said that GL has no communication or strategy? The fact that GL didn't pass was not a surprise, they are in a bad phase and they would have a lot of problems to qualify, especially after yesterday in a last map against Sharks, where in my view it was very painful for them. It was the final card
I think that if they were not tier 1 they would not reach all the finals in the region in which they participate. I think the difference is much more related to the moment in which they live, which is certainly very bad. I hope that they can meet again and that in the next stage they will represent Brazil abroad. It's great to see the scene evolving and bringing in new teams!
It's more like, Gamelanders have Jhow and fznn. So they're never going anywhere. Issue with gamelanders is: they're made of 4 friends (who used to play PointBlank and even were world champions before) + Mwzera. So now that some of them are clearly one or more steps behind the rest of the team, it's harder to deal with the situation. They should've changed the lineup quite a while ago if they actually wanna compete in a world level (and atm, even in br level cuz they're clearly getting more and more behind the other teams).
I agree, I think Jhow is a level below the other players, but he is not in his best phase, he is playing very badly lately, but I don't think this is the only reason the team lost, they are not able to adapt current goal of the game. Many things have to change within the team for them to get back to the top. Maybe a while without playing they will be able to reset their minds and come back stronger.
I don't know if they really need to change their lineup, but I definitely agree that a restructure is needed for them, especially between Nyang, Jhow and FZN. If you compare to how VKS is playing, their entries are always supported by the rest of the team. However, while watching GL games, they rarely get the entry against someone who is blinded or spotted and most rounds are won by the individual prowess of Mwzera and Jonn
people will keep saying he is god, because he is farming BR team for fun. But he will never be tested against real tier 1 region team (no flame). Will be many 'what if', and we will never know how good he actually is for another few months.
At least someone like Russ/aimdll get really tested against EU team and we know actually how good they are, not for MWzera though
"get really tested against EU team and we know actually how good they are, not for MWzera though"
So playing against EU = tested and we know how good he is. Playing against BR = doen't matter, can't tell if good? Is that your logic? Biased much? lol
mwzera had average 344 ACS in their last bo3 against VKS, and I bet VKS is tier 1 in the world. Mwzera has the best ACS and ADR in the world, just look at the statistics. If you think he's not good, you're delusional...
he's good compared to his region, but may not be as good when compared to other region with better play (that we will never know)
It is like someone from Radiant farming in Diamond Rank, you can have high ACS but doesnt mean much when opponent is not top tier.
For example, look at Ambi, NagZ, al0rente
We dont know if VKS is tier 1 or not, we will have to wait and see.
