Rofl at all these yuki sheep circlejerks.

They are incredibly good but everyone on that team is at an extremely high calibre, if it was just yuki and sheep they wouldn't even come fourth.

Termo is the player people will be singing praises about after this tournament.

Everybody knows Yuki and Sheep are absolutely amazing, but it isn't right to overshadow 4 other players who just happen to be some of the best players in australia, and probably some of the best in the world.

im not shittin on anyone here but I wouldn't say some of the best, sheep+snow are the best scouts in aus, termo best demo, current iM is pretty much the best players in australia currently playing and probs the most legit "aus all-star" team you'll ever see.

i52's gonna be very fucking interesting

When you have so many high caliber teams competing on even ping it is extremely hard to correctly predict every single match outcome.

I think ultimately iM didn't lose because of any lack of ability, but rather because they didn't have enough experience winning in high-pressure situations. The core of mixup (and epsi and 4g) have played lots of high-stakes games. Harbleu's decision not to pop and his double-kill had little to do with his absolute skill level and everything to do with his ability to perform under pressure. In comparison, Sheep and Yuki had the first two deaths in that Golden Cap mid-fight. It's not that iM choked (see Granary, iM vs. TCM @ i49), it's just that clutching in a situation like that is easier when you've done it before (see Golden Cap on Badlands, mix^ vs iT @ ESEA lan).

The irony, of course, is that the one experience iM does have in a situation similar to this had an identical result; last year, TCM won a golden cap to drop iM into fourth place at i49.

It's not iM's fault, though. It's perhaps their fatal handicap that Australia can't support at least one other team of similar quality. In some sense, iM's absurd skill level means that while they are right there with the top teams, it's impossible for them to be psychologically prepared for an event like this. Traveling around the world and spending so much time bootcamping, renting a house- these only added to the pressure iM felt to perform. There's no way to simulate these sort of situations. By comparison, even Mixup's least experienced player, Squid, has been to three ESEA lans and played in two LAN grand finals. Snowblind and Termo have zero comparable experience. The rest of iM have just i49.

At this level, everyone is skilled. Mixup won the match in the closest fashion possible, but it's possible the factors that led to that victory were beyond either team's direct control.
