he cried because he knows how bad his individual level and his calling was, he knows that if he doesnt magically become good overnight his career as a player is almost over, he has said reading what is said online affects him but I think what affects him most is losing and feeling impotent about it thats why he cried and felt so stressed during this whole year, he has never experienced many bad moments as an igl so he isnt used to the frustration of things not working out, sadly for him I think his individual skill is a lost cause and his style as an igl is outdated and not good enough, would be more frustrating if he was doing a good job and they still lost because of small things but his performance and the way he has set up this team is objectively bad so there is no other way than looking at yourself and realizing you werent good enough, personally would feel more frustrated if I lost because of stupid shit while having played better and playing objectively great valorant
he was smart, got derke while he was farming in t2 before other teams and then did the same with alfa, got them to carry him while running his gimmicky strats in a new game and then once he had the core of 2 superstars + him then he got the other two best players in EMEA, was smart and capitalized on the rest of EMEA sleeping and not getting derke/alfa before it was too late since they have bad scouting, his trophies are more thanks to him being smart and anticipating the opposition rather than being a world class igl
