PsiStorm learning the hard way that they do need a highly qualitied No. 2 player.

It doesn't help when then 2nd good player just isn't bringing in the points he should be bringing in :/

At least PsiStorm can breath a little bit with SLT and iG coming up.

Because he isnt supposed to be the 2nd best player on the team, no disrespect to Special. He could be a sniper in TvT but they need a better player to take some weight off MaxPax.

Looking forward, their only "sure win" match are against Invictus and Berserker who are prime for relegation. I dont think they can catch the other team to make the playoff push.

I don't think we should dismiss them so quickly. This weekend was their first hard blow in the playoff race, but it is probable that at least one team will make it to the playoff despite getting swept by DKG-Basilisk-Abydos (and Onsyde),
They are definitely not where they want to be, but if they can win at least the majority of their head-to-head vs SSLT, SLT, TL and SR, they still have a shot.

Yeah, Psistorm has 1 Ace Player in MaxPax and then Special, Has and Gerald all fill the role as 3rd Support player/ sniper.
They just don t have any solid 2nd player anymore.
Liquid had the same Problem for multiple seasons as well. For them it was even worse though, as Clem was strugling in WTL way more than MaxPax
