s1mon is an example

of why sport psychologists should be implemented in every organization ASAP. A clearly talented player who just didn't have the drive to win and had a lot of his internal issues which affected his teammates.

I mean these are what, 18-20 year olds who spend the entirety of their lives grinding the game and having to face uncertainty? Practically all of them are a ticking time bomb waiting to explode when things get rough. S1mon was a nuclear one, a guy who tasted wins so fast he got used to them and first losses triggered a fucking meltdown

Honestly, fuck every single org and VCT themselves for not taking responsibility and implementing psychologists back then. Whenever tragedy happens in football, autosport, or any other sport for that matter, there are mechanisms implemented immediately so that the situation doesn't repeat itself.
It's so sad to see riot not utilize the Twisten Foundation more. It would be the best way to honour Twisten, by preventing others from suffering the same fate

I know that navi have one, but she is more focused on working with their cs roster. She probably does work with their valorant roster, but she travels with the cs roster, and given that they have a stretch of events of Australia-Kazakhstan-US-US to end the season, I doubt she will even care about the VCT

Asia has been allocated more slots because of mongolz, and since our own high rankings basically guarantee direct invitations (without occupying qualifier spots), our qualification rate will significantly improve.
At the Shanghai Major RMR, mongolz knocked out DRLA ---- the Thieves of stickers.
The Mongolia team maintains good relationships with teammates from LVG, RA, and TYLOO squads.

I feel like sport psychologists are the most obvious investment in a sport where everyone is like an 18-20 year old child who is more likely than not emotionally immature. I don't know a single person in this age bracket (myself included) who has it all sorted out in life. And that's for those of us who are in normal stress environments like college. These guys are training 24/7 and playing games in front of millions of fans who might throw hate if they lose, with little job security if they don't play well

BUT ALAS

sports psychologist are absolutely necessary especially for eSports where 99% gamers are introvert and socially inept

socially inept, introvert, young, pretty much dependent on anyone. best case scenario: perhaps you find a gold digger GF and she only ruins your career (e.g. Boombl4 in CS, married a wh0re). Worst case scenario: Twisten.

before Astralis hired a psychologist, they were average/mid and after hiring that person specializing in psychology, they won 4 majors for 2-3 years.

current astralis is different tho. they are holy dogwater
