Why vanity continues to get T1 opportunities will never cease to confuse me
I think you're being too reactionary. You have to remember, he is C9's IGL, so it makes sense that he doesn't do the absolute best that he can stats-wise. Look at Boaster, for example. He may not get his every round (he went 6/22 in FNATIC's first map against Liquid today), but you can't deny that he isn't calling incredible midround calls, strats and anti-strats alike. Therefore you can't deny that he doesn't do his part to help the team function. And I think it's the same way for vanity on C9. Sure, he doesn't tap someone every time he peeks an angle, but if he was more focused on his gunfights than his IGLing, C9 wouldn't've gone 5-1 this split, I'll say that much.
