The post elicited a slew of impassioned responses, underscoring the deep divide within the gaming community. One user, ‘NotSnowdenEdward’, humorously quips that “blud is trying to get on the team”. On the other hand, a more sympathetic user, ‘costryme’, puts forward the view that the issue arises from the inherent challenges of creating a team from scratch and competing against established outfits, stating, “Most sensible people think that, to be honest. You will struggle to have a team fire from the get go…”
Realistic Expectations?
The argument pivots around whether expectations were too high for kassad and BLEED. ‘TheRealCaptainR’ opines that “player performances shouldn’t be judged too harshly this soon into the teams existence” while additionally critiquing kassad’s attitude. Others agree with this sentiment, with ‘Filthy_Commie_’ drawing parallels with another struggling team, Liquid.
