sigh... how the dumb stay dumb.
Your d1 take is incorrect. You're describing what people would call the "traditional duelist." What's holding a lot of teams back is a lack of understanding of what it means to play entry and what it means to be the high-ceiling player on your team.
Historically, in the CS traditions lol, your entry player was never your best player. Your best player was either 2nd-5th player in. There's a very logical reason for this, you want to preserve your best chances to win.
This is what drives me up a wall with C9 and other EMEA teams. The coaches have the same ideology that you're describing. Here are some similar examples of what you're doing, you are using your queen to fight all the chess pieces, you're asking Messi to play goalie and then run up the field to play striker... It's dropping a nuke in every fight.
You need to preserve your good players. You need to preserve the players who perform in clutch situations. You need to preserve your life if you have KEY UTILITY. This whole idea around duelist diving in or sentinels always playing lurk... it's an oversimplification of a complicated problem. It's an easy narrative to tell the kids.
A lot of people don't look at the details of all of his crazy eliminations. First, many of the maps have weird edges and changes in elevation. Older games used to do away with this by using clip textures to smooth out the map to remove inconsistencies.
Second, if you roughly understand how aim works, many of his kills statistically make sense. Each bullet that is shot in a succession has an increasing spread. This creates the likelihood that most of the bullets shot after #4 will likely be on the outside of your crosshair.
Lastly, the dead zone makes things stranger to explain. UE4 has two different types of keyboard input. A full press and a tap. A full press can exponentially raise a value where a tap may just provide a flat value. Deadzone lives somewhere in here and I've never fully heard it explained from a UE4 perspective. All this to say that some of the things he does may appear as randomness and might not even be able to be recreated consistently but it's all rooted in game mechanics.
I think the community often misses the forest for the trees.
They placed accordingly. I don't know why we are using the myth to explain it. They won games against the bottom 3 teams. This put them roughly in seventh? Doesn't really matter because only 4 teams didn't make it to playoffs.
I found a part specific for you :) https://youtu.be/kapqqCM-4iY?t=1489
mean... when I've only ever tried to be your friend.

I don't believe in all of this but it's entertaining and would help some people on this site if they are bored :)
I will take the worst team in VCT and make them the best over a single season. That is my guarantee and I would put my attorney license on it.
vlr, you know what I'm thinking.

VLR?
Invalid, we sign m4 and money falls from the sky.
They share the studio. Likely the studio people are on contract to work both, lol and val, since its the same discipline of work and probably saves money.
What if you labelling the 16 year old makes him say "fuck it, they think I'm this way and I'll never change their minds" ... you don't make the world a better place by attacking and isolating people. You are not the solution, you are bullying and trying to cause real damage. No one needs or wants this behavior out of the community.
You are not the internet police.
If only there was a person who was supposed to be there to guide them... Not quite like a teacher... what is the word I'm looking for? https://www.vlr.gg/player/13109/stunner
I believe. https://imgur.com/a/yOBUG5G
heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooo
Yeah I don't think that it's not possible. A good coach is a personality type. Crazy patience and a desire to see people succeed despite the sacrifice from you.
I think a lot of people discount coaching because they've been around teachers most of their lives and it's hard to see the value in what they do if you get it everyday for free.
Been there, done that. I couldn't get passed the CEO: https://imgur.com/a/LQvKid6
Whenever we discuss roster changes, specifically for igls, why does no one mention me?? I'm a fantastic player with a great resume. Most teams in tier1 would upgrade by adding me.
but before... reach out to m4 to have a conversation.
Legitimately scared for 100T. I'm rooting for you!
My DMs are always open!
What are the chances that the entire community has been led on a endless search for "how to improve" and only ended up with "just get the vibes up?"
I say we go full fortnite, flat sage wall.
We call this a confirmation bias.
It's not the players. It's the system that they are being forced into.
If everyone is following the meta then what VCT ends up being is a race between teams to have a better understanding and better execution. An 0-5 score line means that you don't do what others do well. The way to deal with this cannot be dump the players and try again. This is a huge loss for the organizations.
Instead you should really focus on the system and the ideas that are restricting your players from being successful. They are not pieces to be placed on a chess board and expected to perform a function. This game isn't Overwatch and the meta compositions you're attempting are not your friend. Abandon the race for your own original ideas about the game.
Show us you can find out what make your players perform and not just what everyone else is doing.
Yet I'm sitting here with 4 stars. I must be special.
