[@thesilentassassin1167]

Donk and Spirit had to compensate what they did in Katowice, they stomped every team in Katowice and got absolutely dog walked in both matches at Cologne

[@JesoTV]

That's because Team Spirit virtually has no tactics. They don't really coordinate any utility lineups or pop-flashes, but they brute force their way into combat. I said it before when they obliterated all teams that the only reason they were that good was because nobody really studied them, nor anticipated their aggressive playstyle. Now everyone has accustomed to them that even a Tier 2 team can beat them.

[@Acolyte82]

@@JesoTVno they’re just prone to let stress get to them. They’re one of the most well coordinated well oiled machines out there when they’re playing at their best. Look at spring finals they practicaly decimated navi who are known to be one of the most strategicaly sound teams in the world.

@@PhilosophicalSock wait, did you just call Team Spirit bots??? Bro, you got to chill. Every team can have good and bad tournaments. Dont make your conclusion based on this tournament. TS has the highest firepower in tier 1 scene. Once they regain their form, they will become top 1 team again. Dont forget, they were number 1 team in the world just 2 months ago.

[@PhilosophicalSock]

@@mranderson3441 you are right about they have been #1 just a month ago. and exactly this fact blows my mind entirely. how can a #1 team become this much of a trash in just several days after blast groups? how can a dominant Kato winner become this much of a complete trash in half of a year? can you even remember any other top team who got humiliated while being #1? I personally see them having no tactics other than default. They got no real analyst, no coach, no mentality. And what is the most unexpected - they got no aim. Lost absolute most of pure duels.

[@mranderson3441]

@PhilosophicalSock they have everything. Team Spirit is a very rich organization. They just need a good boot camp to come back. TS is a fairly young roster. They showed incredible results this year by becoming top team in less than 6 months. So, no wonder they are not accustomed to that. Besides, donk is finally getting to his actual form. It is not like he got worse, he just overperformed for the first half of the year. I am not surprised to see him drop his rating as he is an entryfragger besides a very aggressive one.

[@PhilosophicalSock]

@@mranderson3441 you sound like a big optimist. i could say 'drinking copium", but let's put it like this: huuuuge optimism. I get your subjective opinion, but I dont believe in their future from now on. Yes, the org is rich af, but the team just got destroyed mentally. even donk dropped from 1.7 to 0.8 rating.
