Same boat as LEV, the dumbest person u know thinks this is cope.
4-5 max prac days for a new meta on 7 maps. In a completely different region travel
obviously you wanna win and its not 100% the reason, but anyone who thinks this is not an INSANE disadvantage is an idiot
Imagine being NRG in this event.
#1 - The timezone change with just a few days to adjust is pretty brutal, especially when EWC was at 9:00 PST at its latest.
Example: In NA for optimal performance starting at 5 PM PST: you would wake up 12:00 PM PST. This is the same as waking up at 8:00 PM in london (8 hour difference)
So within a few days, they had to do a complete 180 on the sleep schedule, fly across the world, get everything set up and catch up on sleep etc. Just in terms of performance this is just far from optimal.
#2 - No time to adjust to the new meta
With the meta completely changing, no time to prep new ideas comps etc. Literally 3-5 prac days at max to do so, you cannot prep 6-7 maps in 3-5 days of practice so any big changes are just dice rolls. LEV was in a similar situation which is probably why they got anti-d so hard in some rounds.
#3 - Every team that was not playing recently had maximum time to change how they are playing, create new ideas for pistols, bonus, r3s etc. Or just adjusting basic macro, NRG having no time means every single VOD they have is going to show alot of the gameplan making them super easy to counter.
Its not end all be all, but genuinely a nightmare scenario to go into a masters with a nerfed performance individually just based on that timezone shift, a complete meta change & no time to prep anything.

this is a perfect example of what a confident first timing lurk can look like in ranked especially when you know they rotate like this before hand. If you are going to lurk, make sure you either 1. impact rotates, 2. Kill rotates / first timing fight them or 3. Prep your team to potentially cancel off your timing

If you post the VLR leaderboard screenshot after losing a match you clearly care so much about stats & public perception that you are also playing for those stats in the server.
It’s been like this for a while, but 75% of VCL duelists & upcoming players hard stat farm instead of playing for the win because that’s how players get scouted now.
