The region that wins Tokyo gets another LCQ spot, so 2 teams will make it to champs.
100T say they want to win and be one of the best teams, spend a huge amount on cryo's buyout, and then fumble and think one coach is enough at the highest level of competition, it doesn't make sense.
Just going to leave this here too https://clips.twitch.tv/CuriousBoredFoxFutureMan-Tu-m2kihW8izeVeE
Something definitely needs to change if they can't turn things around before LCQ. I know stellar has said he wasn't a fan of how Sean structured the team with set plays, but surely at some point you have to do what's right for the team and agree that the new calling isn't working.
None of their wins were convincing either, they almost lost to KRU 13-11 map 2, the LEV win was bang's 1v3 and the FURIA game got way too close too. Their only 2-0 was against EG, and it's hard to judge that game result now as they played them the week they added demon1 on icebox, and have looked so much better since then. They rely too much on one player popping off and hero plays to scrape wins, they definitely didn't deserve playoffs.
At least they have plenty of time to experiment now..
If they can't show any improvement in the LCQ they definitely need to make changes imo- they've had plenty of time to prove themselves now. I agree that the young core of Asuna, cryo and bang will be good to build around in the future. It's been hard to watch Derrek have a rough split, he was huge for them back in LCQ especially with the insane amount of clutches, but just doesn't have the same impact anymore. Stellar's style of igling isn't working too great for them either, the structured style that Sean preferred was so much better and didn't have them running around the map looking lost half of the time. I think Mikes is a good coach, but it's impossible to do all of the work alone and I think this has had a bigger impact than people think for the team.
I've always thought the same with the roster, they always have to rely on one person popping off and some hero plays to win maps. None of their wins have been overly convincing either which is worrying.
He was getting caught out on all of his lurks/when he was alone in tower every round, and couldn't win a gun fight at all. One of their biggest issues is their consistency as players, they all take it in turns shitting the bed each week.
100T don't deserve playoffs at this point
Can honestly see this being a possibility- they already have a lot of young players so it would make sense. Derrek is a great player but isn't having the same impact as before unfortunately.
