Great question! As this was our first season in main there were a few things that stuck out to me. I think one of the big ones is other team's ability to punish mistakes - in IM we were able to get away with gaps and making a couple mistakes here and there, but in main now it feels like almost every team we play will notice and take advantage of them. This means we have to clean up our game quite a bit and try to be more ready for their reactions. Another one is the overall quality of the games. We had no games this season where it felt like the opponent wasn't able to shoot back and most of the teams consistently played really good cs.
Why aren't you throwing a mid-doors smoke instead of the x-box smoke? The mid doors smoke spreads to the top, negating the angle onto catwalk and not allowing CTs to pus lowers as easily. Is it because the mid-doors smoke is easily able to be blown open?
Good question, tbh its a few reasons. When we initially saw that mid doors smoke we couldnt find a consistent lineup that was landing every single time and expanding to the top, so we just got lazy and stuck with the normal one. Also partially because its a little harder for the CTs to blow open but tbh its not that hard anyway so we probably should just learn the new one. We dont play a ton of Dust anyway so I dont think we have really seen a huge impact in either yet.
@@DinnCS2You will get punished by main playoff teams. Good players will swing cat and pick you apart. Just take 30 minutes to learn the smokes; the right util is important to play the map optimally. Don’t cut corners. Anyways, good video and it’s nice to see more guys in NA care about the macro aspect of the game
Holy hell congrats on the sponsor!!!
Thanks!

Question! What do you think changes the most skill wise when comparing an IM team to a Main team
