A matter of attitude

I find that ppl don't talk about this enough.
Player's attitude influences a lot the outcome of a team.
That's one of the big reasons fnatic are so dominant.
Besides having 4 top 10 players in the world in terms of game mechanics and game sense, they all have great attitudes on the team.
They are humble, they always feel like they could improve, they work through their differences and they all grind the game like maniacs.

there's a saying " its hard to reach the top, but even harder to say there" .
I think players attitude here is fundamental to reach this level of success and maintain it.

not sure if you watched their comms, but they are not humble in the sense, they believe they are better than everyone. Dry peek AWPs and other stuff. BUT they are all on the same page and are self-aware. chronicle doesnt ask for permission, he says "I'm overheating, watch this angle" and boaster doesnt feel bad about it "my player is ignoring me", he understands that sometimes when you're hot, overheating is good. They understand each other well so the mistakes often look minimal since they lose together by supporting the overheaters. This is also why PRX does well (well enough than most atleast) through most meta arcs because they are not as meta dependent but support each other while being aggressive. FNC just has better aimers so their overpeeking works out BUT PRX is similar to them imo.

In everything that you do, attitude and character matters.
