Why American players laugh away a loss?

Vanity, Boostio, ...
anybody can see through it that they try to show they don't care. Just don't react and it's all good

insecurity. i hate that shit too. literally trying to show "oh it doesn't matter that we just got destroyed 1-13. I, as the IGL, do NOT care that we just got embarrassed on the world stage in front of over a million people" it's a lot of pressure but stop trying to be meta and just take the L and move on. too proud to be upset

VLR help me understand

Player plays off loss = met with criticism (They're faking it "take the L and move on")
Player shows emotion and shows they're upset about losing = met with criticism (Crybaby "take the L and move on)
Player says nothing = met with criticism (why so quiet?)

How exactly do you guys want players to react in these situations

VLR isn't a singular entity; when you take the views on this website combined, you'll not only have the ones you listed, but the entirety of the political spectrum, and beyond.

Why not ???.
They lost yeah but it's not life or death situation or some shit. U lose some u win some , it's all good . None of this matters when ur 90 at ur death bed

It definitely does matter, just cause they don’t die irl after losing doesn’t mean it didn’t change anything in their life

Nah nothing is toooo serious in life and nothing matters in the grand scheme of ur life until it's a life or death situation, sure living THE life and having achievements is a great way of rewarding life but beating urself up and being sad just because u lost isn't an absolute nessacity or some shit. Sure people can be sad because they lost but they can also shake it off and laugh if they learned their mistakes from it. Move on get and be better next time . Don't matter allat

okay but this is a bigger outlook on life, it still will be one of the bigger moments in his life and it does matter a lot

its like if a footballer lost a must win game against the 6th place team which would have earned him $20k clause in his contract if his team qualified to europa league. it will still be one of the biggest moments of his life for both money and pride and he will not get many moments like it in his life before he grows old and cannot accomplish it anymore.

the footballer doesnt have to cry and be sad, but it still is important. you tried playing down the importance of the game and i disagree which is what im talking about, not being sad publicly which is what you are talking about

of course it's not that important, but reacting like that shows insecurity, and pride. Those are not good personalities which I'm judging here.
Why not just be neutral or a little disappointed, like MOST people would do? Show humility and responsibility?
Do you laugh when you do bad at your job?

There's no need to show disappointment if they actually aren't. Stop caring too much about what people think about their loses holyy. I am sure they are pros and they have learned their lesson to be better and laughing it off or coping is absolutely fine. Don't need to be all emo because u lost one tourney. Boostio is the one who laughed and he is a fucking champ who's been to 2 finals and got top4 in this one . Sure he would be gutted that he lost this one but laughing it off shows his confidence that he'll back and even if not he has achieved plenty enough already

They lack emotional maturity so they don't know how to react in times like that

C9 did the same thing when they lost to DRX. It's their sad and pathetic way of coping.

Yeh why else was boostio playing music on the way out after being eliminated at kickoff? To keep the team motivated and help them process the faliure effectively, it’s the same here

Have you ever played for a team in anything competitive? When you lose an important game especially in a fashion they did you start doubting yourself a lot and you can fall into slumps

there's nothing wrong with it. TBH I prefer it to losing composure. Not that losing composure is bad either; it's totally understandable.
