Brainstorming about CS

Over the years I have seen a lot, I have always thought that the more you practice the better you will perform. My old team coach said to me, ”the one who dares, wins” - It's pretty straight forward; the more you play, the more you build up your endurance. The more endurance you get the bigger the hunger becomes. If you play football for 19 years, you'll definitely end up being a professional footballer. You might not end up playing in the first division straight away, but you will for sure play in the second division and that classifies you as a professional fotballer.

Get_Right is a player who has a will and hunger like no other, everyone knows about his history, from one team to another. He is one of the world's best players, but haven't had the luck to melt in socially with the teams – but still he never gave up, he continued to play and play whilst his hunger kept growing. He is a great example of a player that has had the will and hunger all the way, the bumps in his carrier has never stopped him from his goal.

Another good example is if you compare a ordinary player to a professional player. A major player has an average of 30 hours in ”played hours” whilst a professional player who wants to success has 120 played hours. It's pure fact; the more you play the better player you will become. Take fnatic as an example, who plays the most? Get_right? I don't think that the rest of the players in fnatic are playing as much as he is, same with SK. I don't want to jump on my team but I think if you have a little bit older team that has played on a professional level for a while it's naturally that they tend to play less with time. How many played hours do we have on average, 50? I absolutely do not blame our loss to the mix team on this, but I think that much of this text reflects back to what I've previously said.

I wrote about the success and will where I took get_right as an example. Is motivation one of the keys to success? I strongly believe that the more you play, the better you become. I can honestly tell you that's how it works because I have trained taekwandoo for 19 years and won multiple Swedish and nordic championships, so putting more effort into your training will show results; like it did in this case for the mix team.

When you consider the willingness, motivation and the time you put into practicing as a team you must never forget about the communication. Communication is the key to success when playing in a team, I think that Björn ”Threat” Pers did very well, I want to salute him for his calls and give him credit for reading other teams tactics pretty damn well I have to say. Same with Snajdan; he's also a good caller and a good in game leader. – But when walles instinct is flowing as it should there is no one like him, to me he's one of the worlds best callers, but when you lose too many important matches you tend to not rely on your instincts and become a tad unsure.

People has recently been speculating a lot about the loss to the get_right/gux-mix this weekend, but in all honesty, I think the mix would have great chance against teams such as fnatic or mtw – It would not surprise me if they beat them. I have recently read some comments back and forth on fragbite, sk-gaming(..etc) and have seen lots of different topics where people have sawn us after our loss to the get_right/gux-mix. I understand that some fans are disappointed, but some topics should be taken with a pinch of salt – if you are a true supporter or a fan you should be there for us in all weathers.

Do you remember a few weeks ago that Robin Söderling beat the world's best player Nadal in tennis?
Does it mean that just because we lost a game versus a mix team they're suddenly better than us and we're horrible? Lots of young players and newcomers take such findings, an example would be when SK plays against fantic, they've met a lot of times and each time fnatic wins then suddenly fnatic is a better team?

If you pracc with semi-players with little or no motivation then nothing is taken seriously. A training session is equal to one round in counter-strike, each session has to be played seriously in order to reach a professional level.
Once you're a professional player you will get used to having someone in the team as a in game leader, taking charge and let you and the rest of the team know when something is wrong. Actions has to be taken
immediately in order to win the match. Comments from your fellow team players such as "I can't be arsed to deal with it right now" will not be sufficent when you play on a professional level.

"The person who dares to train and boost up their endurance to their maximum is the person that willl success, the one who dares, wins."
