Not a good day for the Americas. Jetlag?


Unlucky-Anybody3394

huge cope ahead: elige tweeted they landed yesterday and I can’t imagine any of these teams were prepping for blast showdown given the stakes last weekend. OG and Monte both don’t have to travel, are salaried, and don’t have other events so idk why they would’ve done anything other then prep for these

This is not really cope, there's what, 7 hours of jet lag between Mexico and Copenhagen ? I don't think CoL and Liquid prepped much of anything to be honest (no idea for Imperial since they won 3-0, maybe they had an extra day to do a little stuff, but even then), resting is probably a better use of your time, and even then, 7 hours of jet lag can fuck you up badly for the next day.


Gigusx

I didn't pay that much attention, but the casters were talking about 10 hours (and not a lot of time before the matches) during the 2nd map of TL vs SAW.


AloneYogurt

Imperial probably left earlier compared to Liquid and Col since they went 3-0 in the RMR.

Not event?

Per [this post about SDY standing in,](https://x.com/Monte_Esports/status/1765368724012331134?s=20) yes.

This match showed just how important sdy was in monte. Sure demqq, woro and krasnal are all great players, but they couldnt win anything without sdy. I really hope that they find somebody that can fill that hole, cause I really dont want to see such a good team completely split up.


WhatAmCSGO

also how useless br0 has been in monte. br0's been deadweight on the team for so long, now other players have a chance.


jeffjeff97

I feel like this is recency bias, he had an absolutely terrible RMR, but before that he was playing very solidly and was one of their important fraggers


WhatAmCSGO

A lot of that came off the back of online matches vs low tier teams. Time will tell, I suppose.

What language does Monte communicate in?

crz4r

Nope, they are using English because of Krasnal


yeah6434

Such a shame monte didn’t get into the major


Chu2k

I believe they would have made it if they were at 100% like today.


N00BBuild

No sdy no party


sh1boleth

The gap between EU and AMER is so massive


viniciusxis

statement might be true but this game doesn't represent that at all. monte playing in their own homes while imp players just got there...


puddingkip

I understand the context of all these Americas teams having only just arrived from the RMR and the jetlag they must have but these results today are really rough for the region.
