Getting just 2 kills is almost a guaranteed loss for your team. Sure, but all players have reeeally bad games sometimes. Theres no way to be uberconsistent. For example Friberg had only 2 kills after the T side on inferno at the last major final. Still didnt see massive amounts of people wanting him kicked... | ||

But we can make fun of him at the least. xDD | ||

You could slap Olofmeister in Allu's space and NiP still couldn't get shit done because the problems run much deeper than that. And I'm a huge NiP fanboy I think most NiP fans realize Allu isn't the problem. The problems is that NiP simply have nothing which puts them ahead of top teams at the moment. No brilliant tactics, no great shot caller, forest and GTR aren't going godlike anymore etc | ||

I'm guessing the org is not going to let this pass. | ||

maybe its because the competition just raised the bar ? I mean tactically NiP its just not good enough, their strategies are just not up to par to teams like TSM, Fnatic and nV and they can even be challenged by tier2 teams. | ||

Well at least I'm not that delusional and I'm a NIP fan On August 21 2015 01:03 Djzapz wrote: From my perspective it's not just that their opponents have raised the bar (which does play a role too). They also miss more shots, especially f0rest, who seems to have trouble landing shots that he'd have before. GTR's problem is an extension of that... It's a lot easier to think about the lurker when you're rocking a 5v4 or 5v3 because friberg and f0rest like to stick their heads out and get picked because they're no longer the fastest and the most accurate shots in the west.. I'm a bit biased because I've been a f0rest fanboy since 1.6, but yeah it feels like he isn't landing the shots as well as he used to. | ||

And this is because they get flashed and smoked and molotov'd out of their spots, which didn't happen as much in the NiP era, when every team was going for picks. Perhaps the reason why I feel like f0rest is not hitting shots he used to be able to hit is that the shots are actually harder due to the fact that now NiP is flashed all the fucking time and their counterflashes are dirt. | ||
