opinion from the outside by big fan
A lot of people there thought that problem was "fpx need to jett player".People offered to fix FPX by putting Shao on Jett. Shao can be impactful on any role, but he cant be same type of Jett like cNed. Shao not a gamemaker, he is S tier support, trader, clutcher. Anyone but not gamemaker.
FPX never had player on gamemaker role as top teams has. as we saw ardiis also not a gamemaker, just usual jett player. Every team that won any event(except masters 3 cause d3ffo not a gamemaker, so gambit probably will try swap roles and give jett role to Chronicle) had some superstar duelist player who can open site and find 3 kills.Or even 5. TenZ, cNed, Scream, leaf, keznit, heat, etc. Player that can adapt in a lot sutiations and win something unwinnable.
Fpx instead of that trying to achieve permanence. Thats why they tryed to play without duelist (so if their star player has bad day he can be still impactfull for team because of abilities) and thats also why they tryed to play without awp ( costs a lot and if u cant find succes with awp your economics ruined, u cant try to play retake and need to save this gun). They dont taking that risks. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
FIX: find a gamemaker awp+rifle player, just give him to play, he''ll create space for you and find a lot of entry frags. FPX Tactics + Gamemaker player = Winning all INT Lans. My FPX copium endless.
thoughts?
UPD: its not about some player good/bad. Every player is good, I'm not trying to offend or underestimate anyone's merits.
