yeah i guess that works too, but i think he is leaving for military service by the end of this year same with persia sadge. But if he's not I doubt Geng will let Texture, Karon, and Munchkin to their biggest rival, I know they're contracts Is running out but they will surely offer at least one of them the bad to keep him
Honestly, Stew would be a nice addition, but he feels like he has fallen off since joining JDG. 6-man roster is still weird and I genuinely wonder why they switch in and out between carpe and Sylvan. I will say that there are greater issues that came from the T1 match.
The big one being carpe died first 3 times on attack meaning that 3 rounds were basically lost almost instantly since it's so difficult to open up Fracture without smokes. He did well on defence, but for some reason there were huge breakdowns on the attempt to enter site.
Another issue is that they have weirdly inaccurate reads - they hear spike tap, smoke off halls and flood from drop towards the smoke rather than towards the spike-planter. Derke got such a free ace because T1 decided to ignore the spike tap they heard.
And lastly, they really struggled to push off the operator holds with util pressure. They should have really tried to bait out any inkling of Derke's presence and rotated off of that information to pull the map because they kept hitting not only Derke's op, but the stacked site. They didn't stick together too well when fighting the retakes and it all felt very messy. T1 really threw Fracture which would have been a great map to steal because they broke down mentally and only read short-term.
I dont watch China that much so i cant say too much, but doubt his personal skill has disappeared but maybe his team his holding him back somewhat.
As for carpet I think he has his moments and yeah if you noticed on Bind he took first contact the three first rounds of the game ON DEFENSE, dying first in the first buy round...
Whenever I watch T1 it seems to me whenever they should make a reaction they play too passive. Maybe this is Stax' igling and they miss their opportunity to strike. Its like they do not want to make mistakes but their passiveness is actually hurting them more, if they're not passive they're just sending it without any thought behind it, or at least that's what it seems like.
Fair point to make - JDG as a whole is quite weak and I do remember stew on RA being an absolute beast. If he can unlock that sort of peak performance like free1ng is doing right now on DRX, by all means, T1 stew can cook.
Carpe's a capable player, but I hate how he forgets that he is the solo smokes for the team so he cannot be dying first. His survivability must be better. Buzz kinda fell flat after the lead was lost. Meteor doesn't feel quite the same - he has good moments and then goes missing for the next rounds.
Definitely agree that in certain instances, they definitely respond too passively. They misread a lot of how they should play and it applies zero pressure to the enemies. I wish that they had better plans on attack since they really let things slip too quickly. They need to bait util from the enemies a lot more too. Too many times that they try to accelerate against Tejo rockets, Breach stun, Raze nade, etc. Also breaking Vyse util is so key. Makes the B-site a lot more open.
Autumn is the main problem. I think his philosophy is not T1 worthy. If he somehow even gets another opportunity, I can see him joining NS coaching staff after leaving T1. His ideas fit a teams playstyle like nongshim a lot more. But looking back, it seems meteors comments about autumns impact on the team is bigger than I thought.
