Holy cow, Liquid is struggling so much against TSM. TSM up 6-0 atm. Liquid is struggling against a tier 3 NA team. Liquid is just rushing bomb sites with no executes or set strats. Liquid's coach GBJames should be fired. He just takes a paycheck and doesn't do anything.
Don't mind me

Liquid loses another pistol round. You would think they would have improved their pistols after a year and a half.

The team is stacked with individual talent, it's reasonable for people to expect Liquid to do better than that. Round 20 was entirely won with hero plays but that's hardly a good foundation. Clearly something wrong when Liquid is dropping that many rounds to a team like TSM. Literally the worst TL player is more individually skilled than the best TSM player. Or close, anyway.

This is why I have been saying you need to fire the coach. GBJames is taking a paycheck and not doing anything except for being a hype man. He needs to be kicked from the team imo.

There's no sense in repeating that over and over in two threads. This is IBP 2016 Spring Invite, too, so it's especially not relevant in the ESL thread.

There isn't a IBP Tournament thread or else I would be posting in it. This general thread is the best we got.

It's a bit premature to call that. They've lost an online Bo3, sure, but they got things going for them as well. Wait & see.

Also, I wouldn't call them concistently medium, but rather very inconsistently great
It's not that they win vs the same teams below them and lose to the same teams above them. They manage to challenge the very best while losing ocasionnally to lesser teams... (but less so recently).

I dunno, i havent really seen G2 play convincingly. I do like their team, and hope for success for them, but atm im not seeing it

Was MGE and banging on the door of DMG.

Then the rank redistribution thing came in. Lost one game. Down to MG2. Won a game, lost a game, won another game, down to MG1. Kinda stabilised there for a few games.

Then I didn't play for a couple months, rank got removed entirely.

I just started playing again. Absolute landslide of a victory, I'm playing solo so a 16-0 shutout is fairly rare but it was 16-2 which is easily a convincing victory. Finished with better than 3:1 K/D. Four MVPs. And that's from jerking around with stuff like the Bizon and refusing a rifle drop in favour of running around with just a P250 for the funsies in some rounds too. Hell, the opening pistol round I was 1v3 and easily won it defending the bomb. And I'm using a brand new mouse I'm not used to and haven't got properly calibrated for. And its actually hard to even use a mouse at the moment because I've badly injured one of my fingers. And I'm getting lagspikes absolutely up the wall. Incredibly easy win regardless of all that.

Placed SEM. That is a FIVE rank drop.

...at what point is the system at fault for what is practically smurfing on my part?
