He couldn’t adapt to the pro scene.
This, I liked the earlier players but I respect the ones who stuck through now to play the game. I respect them even more than the pros who played when the game was new. In this case, I noticed EMEA/APAC teams adapted well to each new meta quickly compared to NA. Only Optic/TSM used to innovate some kind of a meta for NA but they couldnt keep up with the game when analysts entered the scene like it did for CSGO. You just cant beat stats/numbers over 25 rounds. You might win a couple rounds through hero plays here and there, but team strats will prevail now.
