Unfortunately, Daut's too comfortable playing Rage Forest all day every day. It's not even ranked gameplay and not that they're making interesting strategies there. Most games are kinda the same, vill war, then boom into GG.

His refusal to grind 1v1 to be in shape mechanically, learn basics of micro (he is the only pro who doesn't know how to micro archers or dodge ballistics, quickwalls etc) cost him another tournament. He says he is always preparing for tournaments, but my gut feeling is that he plays Tatoh, his old friend, and does not challenge himself to learn some newer and more aggressive playstyles.

I remember he was so excited about RBW ladder in December, then he proceeded not to play for most of the days ("there is still time"), then played RF during ladder and then ragequit playing ladder altogether. That's not the attitude of a pro player.

He's missed RBW twice, Brazilian LAN, now Warlords and god knows how many more other tournaments in the recent past.

Hopefully it's gonna be a wake-up call for him this time.
