he was vits 2nd highest rated player at bangkok too btw
Whilst stats can help get results, if the internal chemistry is not there, you would want to remove the problem. It feels like the team mentality just collapsed and I don't want to assume too much with this point, but psych_chek (performance coach) was less present on stage. I'm not sure if the management of a lot of high profile players' feelings and egos became too difficult. Sayf is heavily results-focused, Derke is always ambitious to win, Trexx is apparently difficult to communicate with when things aren't going his way, Less and Kicks are pretty chill, but it's still a lot to keep in balance.
Basically, if the team can't get along, the results won't matter when the team implodes after a crucial loss. The T1 loss might have felt a lot worse for the players since they just narrowly won Lotus before being spanked on the next two maps.
Basically derke and trexx were having an argument about how things should be done and the argonaut gets heated and derke says to trexx you don't know how to win and i won this and this so trexx reply saying derke got carried by the best players and igl and that any decent duelist would've done the same so derke punched trexx in the face sayf saw that and was shocked so he brought his mom to solve the situation.
