Are we seriously gonna act like out of all teams, LOUD aren't unable to quickly innovate and develop new ideas when they need to?
more likely that they cant because 3 points were at stake
why would they risk champs qual?
no team SAVED strats at madrid ur all slow
LOUD literally tried new comps during champs 2023 and after they got fucked on some maps (pearl for example) they changed their comps and surprised the teams they were facing (EG for example) making for an easy map in their favor
Why would they start to shift their ideas when before that SEN match, they hadn't lost a series? Obviously they have more reason to now. Also, I'm not really sure why we push this narrative that because LOUD lost to Sentinels ONCE, they're just totally not capable of winning? There are so many external and internal factors that favour LOUD; whether that be having more international LAN experience in recent memory or maybe even a deeper map pool. And... again, out of all the teams in Americas, I'd argue that they need those points the least
They are good at Sunset and Split. Two of those maps happened to be in the bo5. They aren't good at Breeze, Icebox and Bind, they are banning Ascent, and their Lotus is a big question mark right now. LOUD are decent at basically every map, and the ones that they aren't good at, are due to experimentations within their agent comps
Also, I made far more points in that paragraph than just map pool. lmfao
that sacy 1v3 on sunset's 3-1 score messed up not only LOUD's econ but also their momentum, and the moment they got it back it was too late, it happens
bro I'm not talking about the series
I'm talking about LOTUS
sentinels won 9 clutches on lotus
they literally needed clutches to win eco rounds 💀 💀
It was a lot of favoured 1v1s, like it would usually be loud bringing back an almost finished round and ending up in player advantage/1v1 with very low time/bad positioning
remember, that prx with jingg bring their first top 4 at 2022, and he replaced by random raze called midnyet, got stomped by random korean ranked demon called Kim "Karon" Won-tae, and u still put them at 5....
