i have a feeling they absolutely tilted after kru game loss and broke psychologically. huge difference between two games. they just seemed to completely melt during today and i dont think this team stay together after it. v1nny midrouding seems too hesitant, tuyz doesn't fit with his role, cauanzin just can't find a consistency... only dg and pancada are really on T1 level currently. i feel like this is 2024 split 2 all over again
of course the problem is tactical too. they seemed weirdly unwilling to care about the meta. lotus is likely tejo best map and they just... didn't use it? but they use him on pearl and split, so its not a player issue. and not only didn't use it, but used a comp directly from neon meta... same with vyse, who is goated on lotus and they just didn't do it, but did it on pearl (again, showing is not a player issue). and this happened last year too, when they refused to use gekko - funnily enough, they had the same HC. could it be coincidence? (lol) also the kayo pick on pearl is just weird and is not the first time they do this (remember their kickoff bind?). they're also still using cypher for some god forsaken reason
this team just didn't work. they need changes. and lukxo only isn't gonna solve this. will have to act quick to try and save split 1 or give up and try for split 2
