"I will be taking some maternity leave now to take care of my family and a future KT fan and LEC/World Champion"
@Wub_Wolf Quand je lis, souvent le soir, des fois ma voix intérieure pète un câble et au lieu de parler elle me hurle ce qu'il y a d'écrit et je doit me forcer a arrêter de penser parce que mon cerveau "crie" trop fort
No debates now on whether that G2 team is the real deal now.
And a reminder that the reason they are the one shining beacon in the entire West: is that they do it all right.
I laughed when I heard that they make Hans Sama do cold face plunges to regulate his nerves. I found it a bit much when I saw that they’d partially rebuilt the LEC stage in their practice room to simulate practice. I smiled when I heard that they knew that Carbs caused a late burst of lethargy for one player and so they couldn’t eat them before scrims.
From the top down: Culture is the most important word for them.
You can make arguments that this rigid structure has removed the Dionysian spirit of G2 rosters gone by, that spark that put them ahead creatively. But it becomes increasingly clear after time that they are attempting to create a framework for that creativity to grow through.
And you talk about difficult decisions, Yike and Miky out. Some people would’ve called for Hans head, or Brokenblade: difficult decisions in the market - that have been vindicated. Both of those players who have gone are top talents: but Skewmond and Labrov have showed an even higher level for the right now.
Buy low. Sell high. Making the decision based on your perspective, your truth that you see before the fans, and being confident in that vantage. That’s running a successful team - that’s having winning at the centre of your culture.
Scrim accountability: strict no bothering the players on their off day. That’s culture from @RomainBigeard.
Bringing Perkz back as both personality and because you believe he was at the forefront of your previous winning culture: it’s no different to a legend of a club becoming the assistant manager of a football club. That’s culture.
What this G2 team do that’s different to everyone else is being so sure of their methodology. That results cannot shake them. Results for them are a product of this methodology, not of rapid and frequent 90 degree shifts.
It’s not just everything on the rift. The players play great, but culture drives everything.
