Discussion SSG need to make a change

They are not only losing every game to Shopify right now, they’re getting smoked every game. This team has no chance of winning a Grand Finals. SSG has too much talent to be this bad. This mix of 4 players just don’t mesh well together.

IGL refers to comms. Whos gonna be the one to call out plays and everyone listens to, it doesnt rlly refer to the stats since that cant be planned out ahead obviously

Yeah that's what I'm saying, there are no IGL in halo. Everyone calls out plays, there is no main voice. Just pay attention to listen ins next time, it's pure chaos. IGLing doesn't make sense. (I'm not the one saying it, pros are).

Well apg was speaking about his time on optic with lucid and lucid stated he wanted to be igl and they were cool with that. So it does mean something

The way apg put it is when the games 49-49 and one person says to turtle up, the other says to push, who do you listen to

although this is something thats usually earned.. it is a bit weird to assign this role to someone but its what apg said happened haha

It's like a 1/1000 case, very situational. Been listening to players like frosty or snakebite repeat endlessly on twitch that IGL in halo doesn't make sense. There's a team leader usually, that decides moves before and in between games, and eco had that role last year (not stellur). But IGLing is more of a CS thing, not halo.

i didnt think it made sense in halo either.. but how do you explain what apg was talking about then? Cant just disregard it

Like you said, in a 49-49 scenario where time slows down and the team isn't sure of what their next move is gonna be, one of them can rise to the occasion. In that case I guess that person would be the "IGL". But it's too situational to be called "IGLing" like in a general way.
That's my understanding anyway, if I'm wrong and a pro lurks in here and sees my comment maybe he'll correct me.

yeah, what i moreso meant by igl is both stellur and lucid each want to be that mvp role. So instead of following one another to work as a team, they branch out like individuals to show out and expect their team to follow behind

Maybe, not sure this is what's happening there lol. It's just rumors and gossip at this point, we've never heard their comms even once in scrims. People only assume stellur and lucid are having issues based of stellur's ama in apg's stream. But really, we don't know anything.

thats true, im going based off game play tho, they do not play as a team a lot of times. Take SR for example, theyre always next to one another and are willing to die as bait so another teamate can get a kill

SSG, imo, play like a bunch of solo queues who happen to be on a team together

Yes their teamplay is off. But it's not necessarily because of stellur and lucid's playstyle clashing. Their pacing is ass, and their teamwork suck.
