Everyone saving strats

#1

arin2016

The reason why there are so many upsets in every league is because everyone is trying to save strats.

I'm not going to be surprised if PRX lose to TS today. All top teams are saving strats and just practicing how to run it down, trying to build confidence.

The top teams are still SEN, Gen.G, PRX, LOUD. Not C9, DRX, or Leviatan.

what’s the point of saving strats if you can’t qualify to execute those strats 😭

No one wants to go to China. Let some insignificant team have that trophy. Everyone has their eyes on the real prize, the Champs

I thought we left the "teams dont care about masters" theory back in 2022

They don't. No one remembers a masters winner. But everyone remembers a Champions winner. Who won masters berlin? I don't know. I literally forgot. That's how insignificant a masters is. But I do remember who won Champs in 2021. Undeniable proof that Masters doesn't matter

Even if Sadhaak has some strats saved in him, it's obvious he's not going to show it.

Why would he give that away just to please some bronze VLR retards? Literally all the top teams are losing

I doubt teams like Gen.G even have more strats, they just got back from Madrid and almost every decent-great team is gonna be able to anti-strat them for it. Like that DRX game.

How will you know that? Let's just assume they do have strats, why will they have show it? They are already getting anti stratted this hard. It's impossible to tell if Gen.G has saved strats or not. But Gen.G is a top tier team like SEN or LOUD. It should be obvious that they are saving strats.

Any decent team is going to beat them right now. The last PRX vs GenG match was much lower quality of a game compared to the one they had in Madrid. Yet it was a tough battle for both teams because both of them were trying to anti strat each other and outaim. At the end PRX had an advantage because a new variable was added right after Madrid ended.

bro why would geng intentionally give up top seed?? top seed allows the team to only have to play one match to qual for shanghai, giving them more time to prep new strats before the quals end. it saves geng more strats and more games if they use strats that they have supposedly saved right now.

Because SEN said it the best. If they have too much of an easy path to Champs, they will lose. Look at what happened to Gen.G, they were at the top first which is why they got a big break. Because of that they lost momentum and shit the pants when it mattered. Compared to them, SEN who had to fight their way to the top, was fueled with pure momentum. Same thing happens almost every tournament.

Nobody gives a shit about top seed. It doesn't matter if they miss it for some reason. They all have the ability to destroy everyone in the quals.

why would they save strats and risk their chance to qual? also youre acting like all teams at internationals have to go to the LB to win. LOUD won champions 2022 by only winning all their games. Fnatic didnt lose a game at masters tokyo. why are you acting like the lower bracket allows teams to win. the lower bracket fundamentally nerfs the players as they often have to do 2 back to back bo5s so your logic makes no sense. momentum cant get you through if youre exhausted. also its not "giving youself a break" by qualing early and preparing earlier for shanghai. youre making no sense.

Cope + brain damage
No one is saving strats dumb bozo, everyone including the top and bottom are fighting for their respective groups seed 1 spot and winning maximum maps / rounds are absolutely necessary for it. No teams would risk single elim in the play offs ( and that's if they qualify and teams like loud are at a risk of not even qualifying) . Then again no good team or players would assume shit like other teams losing and putting minimum efforts for the matches ( literally every single match is important and everyone is trying their best) . Even if u have a dumb theory like they are not looking forward for china and only champs, they need the points for that too . Why risk lose and give points to the other teams pffff
