‘Chiu on This’ is a short and regular opinion blast

On twitter today, @gatamchun translated some comments from Korean commentator AKaros. There is a thread about the entire living conditions for the team. It’s fairly detrimental to team performance to whoever that is doing it. If it is indeed the Shanghai Dragons though, that puts some interesting implications about the players they picked up.

Regardless, we can’t confirm one way or another who it is so I’ll skip that point. What really interested me is that AKaros was far less complimentary of the Shanghai Dragons roster than almost the entirety of Western media. The focus of criticism around the Shanghai Dragons has been around their coaching, management, and support players. AKaros is more critical as he points out that outside of Ado, everyone had problems. He doesn’t go too much into detail beyond pointing out that Geguri was not synergized at all with Fearless which is counter to what I hear from the West most of the time.

As for my own thoughts, I personally think the team needs to blow up. Regardless of whatever talent you think you may have in this roster, this is the harsh truth. They have become a symbol of failure the likes of which we have never seen. So long as any of these players stay in this team they will feel untold amounts of pressure every time they go up there to perform. It’s better for all parties involved to split up and make a completely fresh start.
