Are Fans Being Too Sensitive About CLG Locker Room Meeting

After Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) exited week 6 with a 1-2 record, the team released a video on social media discussing the way forward for their roster. The video sparked main outrage from followers and has since been faraway from the staff’s web page. Many followers have known as into query the place the true blame ought to lie for CLG’s horrific 2021 season and whereas their criticisms might have validity singling this video out because the trigger for outrage could also be a extreme overreaction.

Within the video, CLG GM Tafokints is surrounded by a visually defeated LCS roster explaining that it will doubtless be the final time that the present squad shall be enjoying collectively. Tafokints clearly states to the staff, “If we went 3-0 then it does deliver up completely different concerns. However since we went 1-2 it looks like it’s simply not clicking.” The morale is useless and everybody within the room simply appears to be at their witts finish, possibly due to two back-to-back losses, or possibly as a result of they knew that this was certain to occur ultimately.

Whether or not it occurred now or on the finish of the season the CLG roster needed to be retooled. They’re at the moment tied with Golden Guardians for final place proper now within the total standing and have the worst file in Summer time Cut up. Whereas you can also make a case that the dialog was one thing greatest had in personal, it was an inevitable actuality that we bought to witness not some random act of cruelty.

Storylines are an vital a part of each sport and it’s these behind-the-scenes interactions that assist followers join extra with their favourite groups/gamers. Not every thing might be uplifting moments or rallying cries, particularly coming to the top of a season that’s clearly down the drain. That is the true world of all sports activities and we’re getting a glimpse into that with clips like this.

The place fan outrage does maintain some credence is the vital eye that’s been positioned on the administration of CLG. This season is an absolute wash, but when we’re being sincere the staff has been extraordinarily mediocre for years now. In depth roster modifications have been made that haven’t garnered any success, it might be time for an enormous swap up high to assist create a brand new successful tradition.

Though it’s unhappy to see a gaggle break up this staff’s lifespan has clearly run its course. Hopefully with the brand new addition of Tanner ‘Damonte’ Damonte within the mid lane hopefully the staff can come collectively to complete out the remainder of the break up robust. However, they’ll nonetheless want some severe upgrades earlier than we will take them significantly once more within the LCS.
