Bro What The Hell?

I have noticed that there are A LOT more ecoes recently. In NA and now EMEA as well. What changed? How is it so easy to get ecoed now?
Or just the set plays on ecoes from teams have improved very much?

much improved set plays (in emea) AND i think the meta does allow for more eco / clutch rounds

Eco rounds often heavily rely on rapid pops and overwhelming the enemy with numbers, which Astra singlehandedly destroyed.

With brimm stimm it becomes a lot easier to close space and benefits that style of play in general

Its a part of counter strating. Most teams play very predictably against ecos, they do the same thing over and over again in anti ecos
