I think Link needs to check himself. That one TSM game they played in they lost because he kept messing up Lissandra ult on team fights. His team did not play well but ether did he.

Also because Doublelift had dreadful positioning and died almost instantaneously in teamfights.

True I would double lift in the middle of the fight and I was like wtf are you doing there

Yeah I'm not defending link, but he wasn't the only problem with that team, I think everything in his document not relating to him was likely close to 100% accurate.

Other than the fact that 90% of that document suspiciously didn't relate to him when he probably SHOULD'VE had something to do with it?

Doublelift seems like a real piece of shit if you were to believe everything Link said. I've always thought that he's a big part of the problem, but I feel like Link just threw all the blame directly at him.

Yeah, I thought that too. It seemed he placed very little blame on himself and alot on dlift. Not to say dlift hasn't done most of what Link said, but it seemed like he's solely blaming double for the failing of the team, which he also deserves some blame for.

Im kinda surprised at what he said from every players in CLG. I always knew Doublelift was a bad teammate though. Also, Montecristo was a very bad coach it seems like.

Every CLG player seems to give Monte shit, but as even Link said, the team didn't accept him on any level. They're on reddit while he's coaching, they refuse to practice his comps and even when he gives them a comp that wins, they discredit it.

It's CLG being the most uncoachable team in all the world. Did anyone honestly expect Scarra to 'coach' as opposed to being moral support?

I think it is a bad thing on the whole, and very disrespectful. Almost putting that he was prefect where everyone else was not.

BUT I think the post in itself had some good points on showing CLG issues. Many beyond his control.

I don't think Link comparing so is anything like the leader he is claiming to do. Also Link tried to put himself as one of the best mid laners in NA, Link is not putting presence on the map like Bjergsen or Hai. Even if he was a top 3 mid in NA it was not comparable to these players, but comparable to player worst then them.

_It was the wrong way to play the game. League is a team game. You don’t just sacrifice your lane and pray they’ll do fine. It’s not how you win the game. Every lane is just an extension of the game. Every lane is just a piece of the team. _

But, TSMs been winning for a while now ...

There is always some truth. Obviously, Link is being biased with his own view of himself. If anything, we can guess Link was a slacker. He seemed like a slacker, even his big post comes off as a slacker. The type of guy who didn't put any effort in.

I can imagine half of what he says about Dlift and his team is correct. These are general feelings you get just from looking in from the outside. Its not like its a stretch to believe any of it. We see most of it anyways.

As far as Monte goes, well I never believed he would be a good coach anyways. You cant just decide to be a leader or a coach. He doesnt seem like a coach, he does good analysis and shoutcasting, but thats it. He might be a good analyst to help a team, but he doesnt seem like the kind of guy who could garner any respect and/or be a good coach. I mean, the fact he tried doing Skype coaching should say just now effective he really was. You cannot coach like that; hell you cannot even lead like that. I think we all knew that wasnt going to work out when we heard it. Sounded more like a publicity stunt, or a typical CLG screwup where they stick someone who is not qualified in a position they were not qualified for. Sticking ADC mains in top lane, sticking mid laners in the jungle, sticking shoutcasters in coaching positions. Etc.
