EPTOn the other hand, second team would be even better if they removed smithzzz and added fxy0. That would be like a dream team.

It used to be easy for me with French CSGO teams, I liked Titan a lot (nice people) and disliked LDLC a lot (the constant convenient technical issues they have whenever they seem to need a break, the KQLY ugliness were he DCed and came back with 16k, dropped weapons for everybody and didn't say anything and a bunch of other 'bad tastes'). Now it's not that easy anymore haha. My thoughts also :D Happy was ok, 3 of them were meh and i really dislike kqly. | ||

But if it's one of those, I'm not going to shoot at the guy unless it's a headshot, then I can see how it'd affect teammates/performance. | ||

It is not like he doenst shoot if he cant see the head of the enemy. But he is always going for broke on headshots, because in theory, he will always win the standoffs that way. And some time ago, his aim was like an aimbot so he got away with this and was a very feared player, albeit had not so stable in performace. But he was the guy o make the comebacks and carry his teams if the on fire Scream turned up. Lately he has not been his best and that means he seems bad becuase when he does not hit the first HS he wont take them down (like he never aims at chest). His aim and reaction went down quite a bit which was his main force more than prediction and outsmarting. All muscle, no brain haha. | ||

Before that they weren't any more impressive either as summed up by this http://www.hltv.org/news/12844-hltvorg-july-2014-world-ranking | ||

Not saying they were back as a top team, but they seem to be able to give good teams a run for their money. So I would have thought they would stick with the same lineup a bit longer, but what do I know  | ||

As far as players are concerned, KennyS was rarely on form from the games I saw since Copenhagen (he had like....two/three rounds a game of spectacular play and just didn't do anything else) and until ESL One they were making really questionable eco calls that kept KennyS off the AWP for almost the entire game. They force bought on some of the weirdest occasions and that hurt the team when they needed Kenny on the AWP. I don't think Smithzz has done anything...and Scream for that matter (though Pimp was talking about how the ADADAD patch back in 2013 really was the start of why Scream fell off) for a long time. Ex6enz will never get kicked but he stopped doing a lot of the tactical stuff he used to do in their strats so it's like what's the point since he still doesn't frag that well. And NBK can't carry a team full of feeders all the time. I really dislike this LDLC shakeup because that lineup had so much potential. That team could have made the finals of a really big event if they kept going the path they were taking (they made semifinals, which is more than C9, IBP, Titan, Na'Vi, and Virtus Pro could have bragged of), and few would have thought LDLC was going anywhere but flunking out of quarterfinals. In fact, I actually bet on the winner of NiP vs LDLC over Fnatic before the results came out because I was pretty confident that if LDLC had made it to the finals, so long as they didn't let the nerves get to them (which it could), they would've won the whole thing. Now Apex/Maniac/KQLY are going to Titan, and I expect Titan to still underperform after this, and I feel bad for Happy/Uzii because Happy seemed like a great guy/good supportive ingame leader, and Uzii is probably one of the most improved players at the moment and he's gotten really good. | ||

I feel like it's not much fun to watch as a spectator, since after the first half either the CTs win their 12 or so rounds or Ts win 5 or so and you assume they've won the match. T's can have some very cool Strats that can get them more rounds on nuke, Sure it's a pretty imbalanced map but I have seen some pretty cool shit done by Terrorists. I personally hate playing Nuke, can go 13-2 and still lose 16-13 if your team doesn't communicate or execute strats well. | ||

Overall, Titan was doomed to split up once Shox left the team. They were frustrated with results and weren't improving as fast as other teams. Epsilon always felt like the Shox and Kioshima show, with fxy0 gaining fame because people love AWPers disproportionately. LDLC had little reason to change up their lineup, so that's really the only question mark in terms of motive. Likely, Titan just made a lucrative offer once they knew their team was done, and the LDLC players followed the dollar signs. | ||

The guy is a beast, plain as that, and some times the only bright spot on Titan. Literally puts them on his back. | ||

Not really sure if Kioshima is considered a star player but I feel he is a very very solid player. Maybe even switching nbk with scream is also ok. | ||
