Velocity Gaming (VLT) had initially opted for English as their mode of communication, given their two imports and international coach. However, they later made the decision to switch to Hindi during the tournament. Adarsh explained that in high-pressure situations, it became challenging for the players to express themselves effectively. This led to a loss of confidence and difficulties finding the right words. Adarsh assured that while all the players were capable of speaking English, using Hindi allowed them to be more open and focus better on the game.
What is this then? They're getting too comfortable with everything. Taken for granted attitude and wanting to get everything spoon feed like babies. Korean and Japanese players are doing full English comms nowadays and are doing way better.
What on earth do they want to express in pressure situations that they can't in English and even if they do express them in Hindi, what will happen if they're in a 2v3,4,5 situation along with Doma or ec1s?
Utter bullshit interview. Just full of blatant lies and coverups.
Utter bullshit interview.
It's not an interview + i saw a clip where Eupho said English isn't the problem
also TL;DR of why VLT did the experiments
They were playing for Ascension and not VCL SA (Basically a longshot goal instead of the shorthand target)
Management and players felt Doma couldn't play the Sentinel role, so he was benched
Anuj would fill in that role
Benching DM and getting Anuj on was a test, and they were happy with that
Split 2 started with DM and the losses hit them hard and confidence dropped and basically everything fell apart
Anuj was requested to IGL
Anuj was being the IGL after the OG game
Everything about this screams 'lack of foresight'
As soon as the first issue occurs, they go back to their Indian players comfort zone and try to apply hotfix after hotfix. When having a new team with foreign imports, it is essential to let the team synergy build and not go back to what you are used to doing. Fragments the kind of progress you've been making.
Bringing in international players as mentioned also means that you need to prioritize learning from so called players and not instead give preference to the language/psychological comfort of your Indian players. These are precursors to having an International team and these issues can pop up whenever you undergo said process.
Also need to mention that they said that all team decisions were made in unison with all team members which is a ridiculous position to take. There always needs to be a captain to steer the ship and not everyone coming up with directions in times of a 'storm'. A clear lack of leadership and foresight lead to this mess.
