Honestly, I feel like Mixwell and Rush have both dropped off ever since they were no longer living at the same house. I can't personally remember all the details of it, but my understanding was that Rush lived at the house so Mixwell wouldn't be there alone but would rather live at home. Ever since Mixwell got moved he has dropped off... Rush moving home has likely unfocused him, and we know what he can do... literally the only things we have going for us are that Naf seems to be finding good form, and Tarik is playing more consistent, with a few bad plays that seem to have some comms issues that truly caused them (even though everyone just wants to point and say "peanut brain")

I like Hazed a lot, and followed him and the other guys a few years back in CLG, but my understanding was that we were all excited that he would be this calming personality and bring more positivity to the team. The thing is... listening to them in some of the youtube videos (yeah i know... rank S... haha... boo whatever, their emotions and behavior still reflect their real personalities), I hear a lot of complaining from Hazed as if stronger fraggers like stewie and Tarik should be setting him up... and the body language we can see during these matches combined with that just make me believe he's a vocally emotional player. Imagine hearing something negative directed at you and then having a bad round to follow it up... it would tilt me...

The things I want everyone to take away from this are: 1. why the hell would we want to kick Tarik or Naf? the only 2 improving on the team. 2. I thought Hazed was supposed to bring us together and help to calm the guys down. 3. Rush would do better in a team house. 4. Let Mixwell live with the guys he actually knows and talks to... I fear for his mental health in all of this, especially because the other guys in the house he's at seem to view him as a recluse... that dude has GOT to be lonely... it makes me sad. 5. I would be more willing to give this time with Hazed if I didn't feel like he was basically dropped from CLG, which was deemed to be worse than Optic, and only picked up with intent to coach. Circumstances changed with JasonR leaving, but he seemed to have the impression he was our permanent 5th. 6. We should have beaten ALL 3 of these teams... this was hard to watch.
