fnatic and GODSENT Rivalry
Many people believe that fnatic is performing better than GODSENT, despite not attending any offline events. While fnatic has a decent record, we should wait until ESL One New York to see who comes out on top.
The Future of SK
It’s hard to say how long the SK era will last. They have been struggling recently, but judging them based on online play is unfair. Given their work ethic, they have the potential to return to the top.
EnVyUs and G2’s Uncertain Future
The EnVyUs team is not performing as expected, and it’s unclear if G2 is a true contender. Both teams may need to make changes to improve their results.
Predicting Matches with Limited Data
When predicting matches between two tier-one teams after a long break, it’s best to analyze their individual skills, team work, and tactical approach. However, making assumptions without recent gameplay can be ineffective.
Astralis’ Struggles
Astralis’ issues cannot be solely blamed on tactical shortcomings. The leader of the team plays a crucial role in improving overall performance. The responsibility falls on the leader to figure out and fix the issues.
The Inconsistency of Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro’s playing style, which relies heavily on team play and communication, can lead to inconsistency. Their high-risk, high-reward approach requires more maintenance compared to other teams like SK.
Introducing Someone to Professional CS
It is challenging to suggest a match for someone new to professional CS. Matches can be appreciated more if the viewer understands the game’s intricacies. Watching a match with a knowledgeable person can help new viewers understand and enjoy it better.
Valve’s Updates
Valve’s updates during the tournament season can be problematic. While changes are necessary, they should be tested in a public beta before implementing them during tournaments to avoid introducing new glitches and issues.
Potential Changes for GODSENT
If GODSENT were to make changes, they might need a more aggressive player to complement their current roster. However, it’s unlikely that they will make any changes until after the next major event.
