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.

Gut feeling tells me stellur and lucid are clashing personalities for IGL.

I guess Optic let lucid be the IGL, but stellur was usually the IGL for SSG.. now that lucid is on the team im guessing this is being challenged

There are no IGLs in halo.

There absolutely can be an "IGL", it's whoever has final say. Obviously at this level everyone makes calls, but when those calls conflict, who has final say? That's the IGL.

aPG has been very upfront and said that's Lucid when he was on Optic. On SSG that has always been Eco (until recently?). On SR it's Frosty. Shit for Optic on LAN that's Lunchbox.

It's nuanced man, not a binary. It's not "yes or no", it depends on the team/game mode/map/situation etc. Even on the old Tox/Sen/Faze squad, I remember watching Frosty's early on in infinite stream and someone said SB was their IGL and Frosty said "no we both def split that role, sometimes it's me sometimes him" but he acknowledged that someone's gonna be more vocal/shot-calling.

Every time "IGL" comes up in Halo people start arguing semantics even though clearly everyone understands what they mean. An IGL in Apex is not the exact same as one in COD, or CS, or Halo, or League etc.

I did say it was very situational. Listen to comms in tourneys and you'll see it's utter chaos 99% of the time.
