1) lack of proper coaches from the start India and SA lacked coaches that not only just makes strats but improves players to not depend on strats with sleepy(now operating as a coach for vlt rn although the role hast been updated yet), eraser(looking for some roster changes because he knows GE isnt giving their fullest with this roster), YB (improving enigma, honestly I love yb out of all and how he made EG a team with great tactics) and many more to come we will see actual improvement in pro's mentality and all with the passage of time.
2) EGO, SA players especially Indian pros and to that tooo those players who are there in the scene for so long is destroying Valo scene. They lives in their comfort zone and dont try their hardest, for example vlt in previous apac stage 1 although they qualified and beaten OF but they didnt tried even theor half of potential, their star player deathmaker who is the best naturally gifted aimer in india imo was just playing 2-3 matches and 1-2 DM and thats all lmao this guy is sooooo much capable to become just as powerfull as prx jinggg if he tries even half of his potential dude literally puts 0 effor in and still holds the records of 47 kills in one map in the world. Same goes with other vlt member keep staying in immo, only vibhorr was the player that grinds the most and they removed him lmfao although mw1 is mechanically gifted too and grinds alot. Ge on the other hand have 3 individuals that grinds alot skrossi, lightningfast and skillz and just see how these three carries the team.
3) Mentality the easiest way to explain those shitty things enigma did in split was just because they fear losing and getting out of apac which they worked soo hard to reach, say copium or not but this thing is soo true in the end pros are humans and they have mentality, an igl should build good confidence in his team in the worst time but antidote crumbled in the pressure and they lost. While GE on the other hand just completely forgets their fundamentals everytime they play apac no trades etc also hellranger(ge's igl) makes starts on his own most of the time and they just dont work against sea
