:(

feels like make-a-wish rn

I think they need to compete more in t2/t3 events like the other teams and build up their skill

This is not even close to true, this is actually good for the scene. Obviously getting blown out is never good, but playing better competition is going to make you better.

Sometimes going out of your comfort zone is better than staying in. G2 won't stay in the GC ecosystem forever, same with the rest of the GC teams. At some point, these intergender matches will happen more oftrn, and it'll be a pathway to slowly balance the skill gap.

There's always something to learn no matter how badly you win or lose, but especially when you lose and you played badly.

yes and no. I think they should start by beating the other t3 teams first

Sure, playing against t1 teams at this point is maybe going to be too difficult but at the same time, playing at that pace can drastically affect how you approach the game. Tbh, it's really less of a mechanical thing than it is a strategic thing.

Not always and only to a certain extent. Most people don't learn anything when they are completely obliterated. It's like saying a new player learns something when they play against a Radiant, it just becomes a show of force and too overwhelming for the inexperienced. The difference in strength cannot be too great (at least in my experience).

Yeah but a new player has no idea what's happening, but a pro-team would absolutely be able to figure out what went wrong. Maybe it just boils down to something basic and obvious, but it's good to know where you stand against some of the better teams itw.

Yes, of course, I was just exaggerating to make a point. And you're right, in hindsight you can maybe figure out what mistakes you made, but what I meant is that in the moment it's hard not to get emotional and keep a good attitude that allows you to learn things. I agree with you that because they have a coaching staff, maybe they can benefit from this.

I agree that there's probably not much to be taken from this TH game. But I think they benefit a lot more from that Fokus game, they eventually crumbled but in the first 8 or so rounds they were putting up a decent fight so there's a lot more to analyse and learn from.

they looked tilted af.

while they obviously got out-matched in their gameplay, a big part felt like they folded under pressure more than anything

Its an off season event and nobody has any expectations for them

Why would there be pressure?
