Thank god G2 qualed instead of SEN. Look at the amount of cookage JoshRTz has brought in for playoffs whereas kaplan had his luggage ready for a vacation already. SEN were so meh that it would have been a travesty if they qualed and bombed out
how does a recent masters winners have 56 gaping holes? they just got hard read and kaplan was worried about them not communicating n shit. he was coping. just change the comp a bit to throw a curve ball. why were they so stubborn? also, there are so many good teams playing. just watch vods and steal shit. it's not that hard
it's the choices you make as a coach, kaplan probably saw a huge difference in energy/motivation/vibes and decided it was the most important issue to tackle
they also have a literal trophy rn so there's no need to be so desperate, shanghai isn't do or die for them they can afford to take their time to fix their issues and innovate
every team has holes in their game you can exploit, it's valorant
