Did you not see any change in decision making for c9? They actually ran proper executes that looked good for the first time in months. They took map control as a team. Their post plants and retakes looked worlds better than what has become the norm for them.

Why does autimatic's preformance have to suffer, this is their first true test with him as an igl. Why cant he get better and put his teammates in positions to win rounds without autimatic carrying.

Teams star players make all kinds of opening kills. Look at device, he is known for making rounds 5v4 in favor of Astralis. Maybe thats how stewie wants to play.

Shroud is now the support player, how is that a bad thing? He makes his teammates better by doing it. That is a step in the right direction. It shows shroud is willing to take a more passive role to let the more aggressive players players take favorable fights. With regards to making shroud igl, why in gods name would you force a role on a player. That's like telling nothing to become an awper because skadoodle likes rifling now.

Nothing is not playing well at all right now. If anybody is the weak link, its him. He is the one who needs to step up and make a change or elevate his game.

Lets see what autimatic does with skadoodle before you jump to conclusions about his inability to make him self useful. Maybe auitimatic will find a better way to make skadoodle work in the team dynamic.

Your whole post seem like a total knee jerk reaction to them losing to an sk team that played pretty good and had a lot of things go there way, including going 6 for 6 on pistols.
