if they arent paying meta theres a reason for it
most likely meta comps didnt work in scrims
if they played off meta in groups and almost didnt make it either thats their best or they need to experiment more to find something that works better
having firepower isnt a reason to not innovate on strats and use ur head
matches are obsolutely the final stage of trying something out cuz u cant know if it works in a match until u play it in a match
obv they are aware that this tourney is important and wouldnt be running these comps if they dont think they can win with them
coach isnt the only one that gets a say in team comps
obv theres a reason they have 2 controllers they didnt just pick it cuz they felt like it
just cuz we dont understand their ideas doesnt mean theyre bad
u need to remember there was a first team to innovate and play the current meta
the comps that are meta rn were off meta picks that were suprising to see for the first time
for all we know the liquid comps are better than the current meta and could be the next meta
most importantly u cant say they should just play meta when if playing meta was best for them they clearly would be doing it
