The match was lost during the night time, however, the criticisms continued until the morning hours. MAJ3R published a new statement. This time the focus was on the team’s AWP player, Ekrem “l0gicman” Aydın. He was heavily criticized by the community for being ineffective.
Normally I do not write such things, however, we started this endeavor with Ekrem, and we will go till the end with him. We will leave him on the side of the road. If you don’t wish to support us, no worries, I respect that!
It is a very weak act to blame a human being. Ekrem is not the main problem of the team. Does he play well? No. He knows it and works every day. In order to change this, everyone should think about themselves, including me. I am not playing well nowadays either. We need to continue to train.

So, the captain said that, they would continue their journey with Ekrem “l0gicman” Aydın, and that everyone in the team, including himself, needed to get better.
The team’s mistakes and performances should be open to discussion. If a team wants to be successful, the players must correct their mistakes. However, harsh comments will also lead to a negative impact. Both for the team, and the individual players. At the end of the day, we hope to see a better Sangal in future games.
