yes it seems like that since the facts we have now are:
1. they did great on lan without lurppis
2. they lost 1 online (BO1) match without lurppis
=> after considering these two facts we come to the only conclusion possible: they need lurppis

WinFakt BASiC: We tried to play with dRiim after a successful Copenhagen Games run, but we realized it wasn't going to work because he had to work in the evening and on the weekends and it was really hard for him to get time off work. We have practiced for one week with Metaphor, so we're not prepared as well as we could be and individually our preparation has been average.

WinFakt BASiC: Both times we've gone to the tournament with very short amount of practice and we will probably be very similar as a team as in Copenhagen because due to our lack of practice as a team, we can't win games only because of good teamplay yet, we need good individual performances. In-game Metaphor plays very similar roles to dRiim in our team.

Why would they care about the name?
Xapso is a danish org
Wikipediots was just temporary
and eSrael is an org supporting them for this tournament..
It is all about the support, not the name.

turkizh is better on lan, lol. Also coloN made great job on lan. I know not as good as on inet, but maybe it's because he played with team mates more games on net =D.

Only one in that list that could possibly transfer is karrigan. Nuggi and Friis are main awpers now (I think Nuggi used to be backup awper to Friis back in Full Gaming not sure).
Though eSreal already has an amazing awper they don't need another, karrigan has a great rifle and can be backup awp so I don't see why not.
Although x9p is an amazing upcoming talent in my opinion.

FG never won against teams such as Natus Vincere or Lemondogs. Furthermore, your comparison is absurd because this team was just created and whole career is in front of them.

They only played against navi with a stand in and lemondogs online and played against some teams in Balkan League this is the real test for them not some HSBG

When you said devices, I was thinking about the bomb and I just thought of something. When someone plants the bomb it sticks to the floor as if it was the hammer of Thor, can not be moved... Can walk on it, jump from it onto higher boxes. Etc... If you are on top of a box it'll go THROUGH the box.
If CS was more realistic I'd take the bomb and put it elsewhere :P It's as small as an Ipad anyway!

Not everyone sleeps right when they leave their home (at least for first day or two), cause beds and everything feels different. Just my thought.

I mean when you look at mTw when they have people advantage,you know they're favorites to win this round. When you look at esrael,there is something like if this man dies they're gonna loose the round. But it will be better with time for sure.

Na'vi didn't have markeloff, Lemondogs didn't eat breakfast yet, Winfakt didn't have lurppis.
YOU GOT SERVED!... oh wait, excuses aren't original? Oh...Well let me think of something original. Back to drawing board.

he seems like a legitimately good player and he hit a lot of insane shots this match.
however, that doesn't take away from the fact that two online matches, especially one against na`vi without their star player and awper (who colon goes head-to-head against) do not count, so i'm not sure why you're hating.

I am making fun of people who have been making excuses for every loss for years, of every nationality. I don't have anything against the teams and sure everyone has certain disadvantages, although everyone is tired of excuses instead of "it was a nice game, very entertaining". So it seems like a better idea to parody than to get annoyed by them.
EDIT: I am not hurting anyone by making fun of people always making excuses, I don't see why you consider me as hating.

you were hating on the people saying the na`vi match didn't count or the lemondogs match didn't count imo, and especially for a match without markeloff those guys had a real argument. you wouldn't say you beat sk if walle was ringing for f0rest, would you? :)

A team consists of 5 players, a team isn't based on one player. If one player is missing but replaced by someone also pretty good, then it might be 4.5/5 vs 5, but it doesn't mean the team doesn't count as being Na'vi or SK. The other players are still there for it to be count. Whether I'd say if I beat SK...I'd say "I beat SK with a ringer", but I would have still beat SK regardless of them having a ringer. It counts as SK + Ringer, and not as Mix team deluxe.

Beating a team with a ringer isn't a team anymore, everything changes (and this comes from experience, I've attended tons of events with ringers and beaten teams with ringers).
Removing ceh9 from Na`Vi would make the team totally 100% different, and fanboys think he's not even good... Then go on to remove their star player, one of the best players in the world, a player their ENTIRE game play revolves around... And replace him with a player who hasn't played actively in 6 months?
Does not count, not even close.

Even if it's a different team, it's a team regardless. If you put in effort to beat a team, you should at least get credit for it. Rather than people congratulate the team for their effort, they give excuses that the other team wasn't fully prepared.
You say you speak from experience, I'm sure when you shake hands with a team that just beat you; you would praise them for their effort, unless you tell them to their face that they just beat a mix and doesn't count?
Sportsmanship comes in many ways, and your way of thinking may sound logical but it's in the eyes of the beholder.

Of course you get credit for beating the team with a ringer, but since 80% of the fans think it makes no difference, you have to go the other way and make it clear how different it is.
Events where my brother wasn't old enough to play sure "counted", but if I thought about our team's real level, I never counted those as a way of judging my team. You can't remove a key player and compare that team to their results with that player.
Na`Vi without markeloff would be a good team, but not a great team by any means. Wikipediots beat a good team, but not a team of the caliber of the real Na`Vi.

It's the same thing in any sports. If you beat someone/team in low prize match/tournament that's not SO big. If you beat your opponent in one of the biggest tournaments it's worth more.
Of course you can take full credit of beating other because every match is important in some level and no one wants to lose.
I also agree with you that making excuses are lame. But this game is played and viewed by teenagers and they usually make excuses. If players and the community would be more mature we would see comments like: "congrats to team other. we didn't play our best today"
But for real there is always some reason big or small if a GREAT team loses to lower team. The reason might be that lower team plays ridiculously good or the better team has some problems with anything.
