The team:
>Washed up pred (according to Selen and her former teammates) who's more like plat or diamond level and is somehow assigned more points than other more skilled players>A guy who knows almost nothing about Apex and has to learn all the basic shit in a month while still doing other activities as a vtuber, but he's good at other FPS, so according to some anons, that makes him instantly good at Apex>Axel, the zone guru, who is at plat level and over extends and has pretty much no tournament experience (afaik) does all the shot callingThe circumstances:
1.They're playing on a JP server, so all of them have like 200 ping
2.It's extremely early for Altare (4-5AM) and probably for Selen as well, so it's not exactly top performance hours
The gameplay:
1st match - max KP, decent placement
2-4 matches few bad Axel's calls and lack of communication leads them to losing those games and causes bad morale
5 match their coach (noc) tells them to have fun since it was impossible to win the first place at that point, so they ditch their usual tactic/strategy and go full ape mode which leads to them being one of the first teams to die
The result:
They lose. Who would have thought that playing against players who not only spam Apex all the time, but also have 2-3 members experienced in tournaments (and VSaikyou specifically) would cause that? I had fun watching all of their practice matches, but anyone with a functioning brain cell could have told you they were not going to win the tournament. Also, blaming just one or two of them is retarded. Axel made at least 2 bad valk ult calls which resulted in them dying in the next ~20s, and then him getting tilted. Altare fucked up at one point with scouting, and Selen made at least 2 big misplays that I saw. They simply didn't have a player who could carry the rest of the team and their individual mistakes contributed to them being down on the list of teams. I guess it's a good day to be a Homostar or Selen hater, huh?
