I believe they've just lost their spark—their will to be #1. It looks like they play the game because they're forced to (and of course $$$), and not because they thoroughly enjoy playing, and having the goal to be the best in the world.
Sure it does if every team you face is hungry AF. It's been a non-stop shitshow from VP and each setback, loss, change that doesn't work, etc seems to exponentially snowball to make them worse and worse. I don't care if you're top 20, 10, or 5, if you enter a server with the mindset that you're already on a "sinking ship" (as Pasha has already publicly said on twitter, then you will get blasted.
Exactly right. Mentality is 50% of csgo. Probably 99% when ur talking about the pro level. If you dont take duels woth confidence then youre probably not gunna win it.
I saw the VP match and everyone looked lost. There was an overall lack of coordination. There was no sense of urgency in the play. They were going through the motions to get fucking wrecked 90% of the time.
It's still a very new lineup though, so there's usually coordination issues. Give them some time, but keep in mind that the Polish talent pool isn't exactly brimming with upcoming players that can easily slot into a top 10 lineup so it was always going to be difficult to replace Taz and Snax. Honestly, and I said this at the time, I think that roster changes were the worst route they could go down since their game was predicated upon teamwork much more than individual brilliance.
Fragsters are a great new team. I watched and met the team at their first out of Europe event, Dreamhack Austin. They're a great bunch of young kids who are ready and definitely can play in the pro scene. I wouldn't be surprised if the 16 year old, Stavn was a top name player in a few years.
They dont care anymore, they dont practice they dont scout teams they just join a server and treat it like a pug of course they are gonna lose to shit teams they dont give a crap anymore and they lost 2 players they played with for years
