      maybe for next episode... what do you think about doing away with the loadout system? It is good for new players to encourage them to learn one weapon but at this point many players have switched back and forth between m4's, cz/tec9/57 and had years to learn both. Let people play more situationally, reward them for planning ahead with whichever they choose to use and allow players to drop their teammates whatever they want

    "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
    i think this pretty much defines the mibr position rn, not because they are playing bad but their attitude about it: "i won 2 majors, etc etc", i mean, they're athletes, results matter or at least should, like winning. It just makes me sad to see what once was the br hope, becoming this arrogant shit and taking the spot of better teams on tournaments only bcs of their viewers, while attacking furia on twitter like they did or accusing leaf like the way fallen did.
    But well, business is business, although its sad to see something like this happen, it does not mean nothing while all parts envolved is still filling their pockets regardless of results or attitude, like noah whinston kept defending on the immortals case

    i thought that mouz issues were that they are a LAN heavy team to where if they're not next to each other they kinda suck. There was an interview where Woxic said that he is able to look at his teamates screens in order to figure out rotations. It also doesn't help that they're international players all speaking ESL

      I think he may have had issues with attitude and motivation after recent losses. Maybe he'll be lucky and they'll keep him, just bench him to force him to find some motivation, then bring him back in place of Chris after a tournament or 2. ChrisJ hasn't even been bad, its hard to frag like he used to when you're doing all the support.

      @@tuananhhoang7113 ??? As if AciLion didn't spend weeks setting up a counter strat... You underestimate every IGL ever if you think teams just come in without knowing how to play against their opponent. The problem with mouse is that they are relying on young stars to be consistent fraggers, and karrigan put himself in too many situations where he has to succeed. Karrigan needs to try to put the rest of the team in a winning situation as much as possible, stop trying to do everything himself.
