Tafo Puns

Thanks.

Sincerely, Everyone.

(I'm a CLG fan since the beginning of times (HOTSHOTNIDALEEGG Kick my brudda in tha ass) and it pains me to see how we've stooped this low... I try to watch the games every week, being from Europe with LCS' current schedule it's hard but I still do it because I love CLG... Evey week I feel like shit after we drag ourselves trough the rift. Something drastic needs to happen right now.)

Enough is enough.

I've been a faithful CLG fan since season 2 - I've been through enough to know that ever since Tafo has entered this team, my love for this brand has slowly dwindled.

Now I'm never going to stop being a CLG fan but I'm going to speak up when an outsider comes into my team and see it destroyed beyond recognition for years.

It is, as of today's loss, a 13-44 record

Let that sink in, 13-44. That is about a 23% win rate

77% of our games are losses since 2020

Damn

With all the flame that is flying around these days, most of it warranted id like to give a sort of theory as to the decisions that Tafo made during his time as GM and hopefully vindicate him in the eyes of this Sub.

Tafo in my opinion has done fairly well given the circumstances, now of course this post should not be seen as a defense of any other person in the org especially Trinitii whose entire career is mired in mediocrity, but Tafo has been dealt a really tough hand in his first year and the people who are calling for his head need to look at the bigger picture.

The main decision I think tafo did right was keeping the squad for summer split, now to look at it through his perspective you have to establish a couple of facts that influenced this decision.

1. The Org is definitely not the richest and given the Pandemic MSG is probably bleeding out money and is most likely unwilling to fork over any cash to their Esports team.
2. With the Lockdown and stopping of international travel importing a player from any region is impossible.
3. Replacing any of the players or coaches will require you to pay money to break their contract.

With all those in mind there is no other course to take than running back the same squad and hoping that they somehow fluke their way through the season. Replacing the players with objectively better players is regardless of the present situation hard mid year and changing something for the sake of change is not something you want to do when your team is trying to keep costs down.

In conclusion Tafo's decision to run back the last placed team is actually the only realistic option that he could have taken and I think that people should realize that and lower their expectations for this split and instead look to next split because I would be shocked if by next spring we haven't changed our roster significantly, and if we do make no real changes and continue to be mediocre then for sure there should be lots of outrage but for now we need to understand that this split was not an attempt by CLG to actually challenge for anything and even though they might not want to admit it this split is only serving as a tryout for our players to see who to keep and who should go for next split.

I didnt make this post to defend our bad play or argue for the benefits of this roster competitively or to excuse our shitty coaches only to give my theory as to the reason behind the salty runback, I agree with what I would assume most of the communit

I need to know
