Custa: "Just makin' sure he believes it, you know?
He's got to believe in himself."
[Sighs] We lost.
And then you start recalling all the reasons why you lost, start questioning a lot of things,
because you know, obviously things went wrong when you lose.
After we lost, I was a little disappointed in myself.
I didn't really perform in Volskaya, and I didn't really perform in Oasis.
So, I was mainly disappointed in myself, but I knew we could have won the series if I had
played a little bit better.
Like, I don't know what's going on.
Maybe Bunny got me pressured, idk.
We started off really slow.
And felt like we could have played much better in the beginning.
And if we started off warmed up we could have took the win.
"It feels like you guys had a really tough first two maps.
Come to the dugout, and then go out and then play--[discussion] It just feels like the
entire team is just not prepared as a whole.
But it's always the same pattern.
We either give up the first two maps, or we needlessly fight hard to take them.
Like someone needs to make a super hard carry.
It doesn't feel like we're trying to win with the strategies we discussed, talked about
trying to do.
It feels like we take the map if someone is, like, in the mood the carry.
Like the first two maps have been like that since Dallas.
Mike: "Your PC's okay?"
Hello, my name is Finnbjorn Jonasson.
I'm from Iceland.
I'm 19.
And I play off-tank for LA Valiant.
Hi, my name is Kyle Frandanisa.
My IGN is KSF.
I play DPS for the LA Valiant and I'm from Washington State.
It's good to have more players here.
More eyes.
More focus, and all that kind of stuff.
So, i'm looking forward to when Isayaki gets in.
While Moon is gone, he gave us assignments for when we play competitive together.
And focus harder in scrims because towards the end we fall off a little bit.
Probably, Moon is the most important part of Valiant.
He's our head coach.
I think we'll be okay but it's obviously going to be a big adjustment because he came here,
he helped so much, and now he's going back for a little bit so we need to figure out
how to play without him.
Custa: It's going to be interesting to see how it all functions without him here.
You know, he's obviously important to the team.
I'm sure he'll still be 'present' in some manner.
But yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how the team keeps growing.
Because especially seeing, if we are coming out of this honeymoon period, this is the
time where it's more important to like, focus down, start working out the issues instead
of grinding them out.
This is the same scenario over again, you can actually go on stage and win the two next maps.
2-0, 2-0, done.
Going, for the 5th map.
It's something that we already saw many, many times.
You're always going to be in a honeymoon period of some sort.
Maybe it's over, we don't really know.
Like, there's definitely some cracks starting to show on the team where, at times we're
looking uncoordinated.
[discussion]
Custa: I can speak to this.
Kariv said that he was in positions that he shouldn't have been.
And that's how I felt in Anubis.
Like, every time Kariv died, and I'm like, I have no idea where Kariv died.
Like that one time where Winston pushed in, like, that's my fault.
Space: "We're talking about the same thing.
Like, we all made mistakes today.
Right?
And the last two games that we've lost, and even before the Dallas Fuel game.
You know, we come in the first two maps and we're not warmed up.
We're just not playing like we usually do, we're panicking, because mechanically we're
not high level.
But there really is no solution to that.
Because how far we live and even though like, today's match was 6 PM, so there should be
no excuse that nobody warmed up.
But still, some of us didn't warm up.
If we ever want to improve, we need to come into every match at 100% already.
And every match we come in at like 70% and then when we lose two maps, we all turn up
200% and then it's too late.
I don't like making excuses to lose but it's the truth, like we're always not warm.
We didn't deserve to win because of our situation.
Like, coming into the beginning.
If we won, it's just because they made a lot of mistakes.
So I feel like, if we prepare better for the next matches, you know, we'll never run into
that mistake again.
Dr. Doug: You guys bring up the right point.
Ok, before, we were having issues, no one wanted to come here early because everyone
was sitting around and not doing anything.
But if you look at any professional sport team, there usually, where ever they're playing,
4-5 hours before they're doing stuff to get themselves ready.
Okay, always.
And while it might be a bit on the staff, I think it's on everybody.
We have to make the decision to come here, and get ourselves ready to go as a team.
You need to be out there frothing a little bit.
You need to have worked up a little bit of a sweat.
You have needed to be thinking and working and coordinating as a team.
So we're not utilizing our time as good as we can.
Plus, if you get out here earlier, you're not sitting in 90 minutes of traffic.
It's going to take you 50 minutes to get here.
Then we eat, we scrim, we get ready, and then we take the stage, we already got our sweat
going.
And so I think that's an absolutely critical piece to our success.
Once again, a team hasn't really beat us; we've beaten ourselves.
Um, and, it's really becoming evident that we still have a lot to work on, which is how
it was always going to be.
It was never going to be perfect forever.
We're working really hard to try and find our position, and work out how it's going
to function and fix all these issues.
But, it's still going to take time.
