I think everyone expected things to just get better when we transitioned coaches
and didn't really understand that the problems with the team lay a lot deeper
than that I think some of the players on the team started looking at Agilities as
a problem to solve rather than as a teammate. Coach Moon was still in Korea
so he was kind of able to see this from a remote perspective but wasn't able to
impact it on the ground and so to kind of stall the problems and prevent things
from getting worse until he could get here he wanted to swap KariV onto a flex
dps role how many heroes have you played today
My name is Brady Girardi and my in-game name is Agilities I am 18 years old from
Alberta Canada it was difficult for me at first because of how hard I've been
working to keep my spot and I had to deal with a lot of pressure and stress
from the main roster guys and just like had to take a lot of criticism and a lot
of feedback and they didn't do it in the nicest way so it was hard on me mentally
and then you know after all about work after all that like trying and trying to
impress them and trying to gain their trust back like they just sent me to the
other team and I felt like crushed.
So the sister team is basically like
the bench players I guess until now we were kind of just festering away on the
bench doing nothing and since we have enough subs to make a
roster we decided it'd be better for those subs to make one team we haven't
been scrimping anymore we weren't really actively watching
scimming about being used in the discussion so much as well as well it
was important that we had a platform to actually practice and improve because
because otherwise what's the point having a special time ranked
my name is Indy Halperin my in-game name is Space 17 years old and I'm from
New York City my name is Christopher James Schafer and
my in-game alias is Grimreality and I'm from Chico California my name is Ted
C Wang my in-game name is Silkthread and I am from Katy Texas so I'm Sebastian
Barton and I'm Numlocked in-game I'm 25 years old and I'm from Livington
On the sister team it's a lot more like laid-back and we have more fun and people are as
aggressive with each other when things go wrong because you know when we'll
focus on getting better we don't mind too much about losing. They hadn't been
scrimming for a while so they're obviously itching to scream again and
they're happy about it because they got a chance to do something other than
playing ranked all day we all know how like bad ranked is for practice so
that's probably the main reason why the sister team is a good idea so they have
a chance to you know get better and improve and be on the same level of the
main roster guys. Every player gets a even amount of practice time and so that
we're all ready to rotate in if needed we all need to be prepared.
I was even tougher for Brady just because he's kind of like the star player of the
team like if you think valiant Brady's put one of the first people that comes
to mind to me. I'm sure reading comments all the messages it gets and stuff making made
even harder for him to transition out of that because the you know puts
into his mind that he should be on the team and in some cases that right I
think he should be on the team because he brings a less one-dimensional style
of play to seem I think in the in the fact that he can play more hit projectile
heroes than most of the people on the team
I felt like I wasn't good enough to be here and I felt like there's no reason
for me to be here so I my mentality kind of shifted and then I tried to get
better on the sister team playing a good environment with my friends and overall
that really helped me out
So when Coach Moon and I had had a big conversation with the rest of the
coaching staff one of the things he mentioned is that you know he thinks
you're really good mechanically it was like he wants to spend a lot of time
with you like one-on-one trying to give you that environment that
you didn't have before so you understand that you're gonna be
have a have a shot at the main roster again yeah but but to be transparent
with you like this is the shot right and so I really hope that you go into this
giving it everything you can and really working as hard as you possibly can and
showing everyone how hard you're working and how much you're learning from coach
moon because you know this is the shot if this doesn't work it's gonna be
really hard to kind of build that bond up again you know I'm a big fan of yours
I'm really looking forward to see what you can do with like a more structured system.
It's a lot of pressure I mean it's good though because I I kind
of feel renewed and I feel better about playing but like overall like having
that that pressure where it's like basically just perform as best as you
can or you're out it's a hard feeling. I've only scrimmed two
days so far but two days I've probably played better in scrims than I have in a
long time so it's looking hopeful.
