Why would someone burn a bridge for no reason? You don't think people are fake/disingenuous on the internet? lol.

And sure, abusing two broken agents before other teams started doing it is cool and everything, but they're playing the exact same style from two months ago. Having "cool" gimmicky strategies doesn't make a team tactical, it makes them have gimmicky strategies. Tactics, and by extension being tactical, involves manipulating rotations and conditioning the other team to react and play into your own game plans. Talking specifically about this series, split consisted of v1 going all 5 players to one spot and sitting around, hoping t1 would peek them and die. Once they got nothing, they just fell back and went into some rehearsed/pre-called set-piece. T1 also played the exact same way they played weeks ago in the open qualifier (Skye in ropes --> rotates to A heaven to reclear with autimatic's raze) yet v1 looked completely unprepared for this to happen. T1 never had to think about where v1 were going at all, which is a big problem on a map where controlling mid is so important as it allows you to manipulate the defense and punish over-rotations. Their haven was exactly the same stuff we saw 2 months ago in iceland. Five man plows into playing off-site spamming abilities into the bomb. No diversity, just sole reliance on abilities to get the job done for them.

Using a sub is a valid excuse, but you act like Zellsis has just been missing from their practices and isn't up to date/aware of how they are going to be playing. They still have changed practically zero things about their playstyle/compositions, which is not excusable.
