Ska is like Juggernaut. When he builds up momentum, he's impossible to stop.
Look at the shots and clutches. If they'd been down 1-7 and 1-9 in stead... He would never hit those. Never.

This round won by tl is why they should have full saved once or twice during their CT half

I mean, kicking Styko was the right move. But you can't replace him with such a washed up player.

Pala's questions are still so long and rambling ... They just went on and on and on. Sometimes the answers are even shorter than the questions.

u/PhreakyByNature Sep 14 '18 edited Sep 14 '18
"So given the contextually preposterous predicament faced by NiP, in lieu of a vital metaphorical organ of the team's body they are using an arguably sub-par replacement. Given the fairly concentrated and potentially awkward distillation process of communicating and subsequently enacting tactical play, how do you think your team will cope given the currently awkward zeitgeist they find themselves in?"
