I dont think u understand just how advantageous it is to have an entire team that you can essentially customize and scrim to basically mimic any type of playstyle, comp or team and then get reps against that team before actually playinga gainst the team.
its like scrimming 2.0. Team B was insanely useful to their champs run, they even admitted that it helped them beat PRX in the finals.
All they said was they could "run drills", a very common practice in sports, and people construe that to be they mimicked another top teams comp and then played it to a similar level to where they could anti strat it effectively. just mimicking a comp does not mean they can play it in a similar way or at a similar level. doing that for all teams they faced would have been an insane amount of work.
nah they said they played a PRX style with their exact comps lol. Idk about other teams, but i know for sure it helped them against PRX. And ofc they can play it somewhat similar, they can literally just sit down, watch the way PRX play, and kind of replicate the general idea and aggression, but ofc not to the peak level that PRX did in 2023.
they were being paid a salary to be a bunch of 6th mans (basically). so they should be doing their own vod reviewing of opposing teams and players to learn in case they're put in, and so they can help the A team progress. probably pulling this out of my ass but I swear someone in an interview or stream said that they would emulate opp's executes. It wouldn't be very helpful to run just regular drills.
I think a B team could 100p emulate top teams level, since the coach could tell the B team "theres one spawn, market" etc.
I mean maybe but from what I have researched and can find concrete information on is that it was used in training and developing their executes and getting executed on in the common ways. I have seen nothing that points to it being used for anti-stratting other than people's speculation. Also, there are a lot of flaws with training a specific execute that a team may not run on a map that a team may not even play. If you find some evidence for it let me know and post a link.
