tara already retired, she didnt really plan to play pro much longer and considers herself not good enough. she just came back for the coed showmatches and GCC. Imo madv is better than both, but I wish I knew the lore behind the kohabi SMG drama, all i saw about it was them subtweeting each other

looking at your replies on this thread, its 100% a mental and mindset issue. if you dont stop making excuses such as "i have good mechs already but i lose" "my team throw" "if i dont tilt im the goat" YOU WILL STAY HARDSTUCK.
Get an improvement mindset, stop tilting, stop crying and you will climb.
If your mechanics were significantly better than your rank, you'd be at least ascendant. If your game sense was good too, you'd be immortal, even solo qing. All the excuses will keep you stuck. Look at each aspect of your gameplay and fix them one by one, compare yourself to pro players, don't be delusional and cope.

Mental is the most important thing in ranked, if you tilt and make bad decisions because of it, you will stay hardstuck.

replace s0m with xeppa and you got the loudest team ever

wait rossy was actually known for bad mental and tilting in t2? i didnt know abt this, i just know OG faze fell off with babybay and smeag not working anymore

sayf? (i dont agree with the narrative that aspas isnt him, but i think sayf is a top 6 duelist)

yeah it makes sense, aspas is the best player in terms of individual ability and i dont think its close. all the people who people claim challenge him, are either wildly inconsistent or fell off faster.
the thing is when goat debates come up, its never based on form ,its always based on achievement, and Chron has by far the most achievements and wins with every team.

GMB + something -deffo would be crazy. -sheydos too but he wasn't the problem tbf

M80 is the APEKs of NA. difference is apeks players all got onto t1

Look into DDK's videos for the mental game which is a big part once you get to immo+, as well as aplox's podcasts, even styko's cs videos have a lot of advice for how to develop as a future pro player.
In terms of hiring a coach, go on metafy you can find a lot of actual pro players and coaches who do personal coaching, my recommendation would be Roy Strong Legs. He played on t2, coached and is very into coaching at a high level.
