How tf did we let xset qualify to masters and champs, like they have never been good, could have had faze or 100t in the lineup but instead we sent xset to represent NA, look what their gameplay was.

ok this literally sounds like an excuse but i am so sure faze just lost momentum because of the tech issues coz thwy looked so good...
even if fazr qualified, i doubt they would get far NA just seems not that good rn even optic look horrible imo based off of what we saw from them on masters 1
NA first seed curse, they played atrociously in their two games at masters.
otherwise, they're a really strong team, just crumpled under the pressure clearly.
They didnt look to crumble under pressure, in fact the younger and inexperienced players(Cryo and Zekken) were the absolute highlights of the LAN campaign, unlike with The guard, where their inexperienced players underperformed heavily(Trent and NeT mostly), Xset was a complete failure not in mechanics but in prep work, Dephh milquetoast calling couldnt prop the st ars of the team to win against teams that could match cryo and zekken fragging and the rest of the support players were completely outclassed, especially AYRIN, sadly, this is what I expected by a team IGL'd by someone like Dephh, but hopefully, Zekken and Ctyo will get better support pieces, eventually
undoubtedly, but I don't feel like giving Dephh the excuse of "awww poor smol bean he was feeling pressure from the LAN environment" , this guy had a 3 year career on Complexity CSGO, attended Majors, IEMs and ESL One events, there's no way a LAN in an empty room is giving him LAN jitters leading to bad calls, there is no excuses for a player with his experience to call this badly
if faze or 100t didn't qualify it is because they are worse than xset
XSET not making it out of groups tbh... They need to do a bootcamp in Europe from now till Instanbul.
Xset needs a better supporting core around Zekken and Cryo. But doesn't matter anymore tbh since Xset won't get franchising and this will be their last event.
Wym Faze or 100T better. Every team other than optic is close in NA but all of them are B-tier in international tourney and Optic barely A-tier. No chance against any actual good teams
