I vividly remember how one of the reason according to the community behind the west doing bad against the east was the lack of practice, lack of effort, working harder, putting in more hours and so on.
While the reason behind the east winning everything was exactly the fact they practiced for an absurd amounts of hours, effort and so on.
Now when a team shows transparency and good practice results they still get shit on, because all of a sudden practice doesn’t matter anymore, so what should they do now? Ditch all scrims because they don’t mean anything?
I’m curious on what approach should the west take?
It has already been rebutted that G2 had work ethic on par with Eastern teams (they don’t). That said, I feel like Eastern work life balances in general are unsustainable so Idc. G2 lost because they choked vs a much worse team. They were never going to make semis anyways though, eastern teams are just better.
G2 lost because NRG outclassed them in every role except mid, this copium that they lost to a worse team is the worst recent take out of this subreddit lately.
Didn’t mention G2 and NRG at all. G2 happens to fit the narrative going on about how “scrims don’t matter”, it could have been any other western team which showed their scrims results, which were good but got bashed for it in return by the community.
