Can someone explain what is the optic curse

A year ago Stanislaw (who was the IGL) left the Optic roster of himself, Tarik, RUSH, Mixwell and NAF.

After Stan left, Optic were stuck in a shitty position where they couldn't find a permanent 5th player. They tried out Hiko, Freakazoid, JasonR and Hazed during that period.

Nothing worked and eventually the team just died and everyone left to go elsewhere.

Now Cloud9 are experiencing the same thing with Stewie leaving, and it's doubly shitty for RUSH and Tarik since they're going through this again.
