Danny "zonic" Sørensen described a recurring issue: poor starts leave Falcons stressed, impatient and unable to follow their protocols or communicate properly. "It's frustrating to see because it is something that we are addressing and talking about daily," he said.
The Danish coach also addressed Falcons ' struggles on their own map picks, admitting that Dust2 is currently the only map they can rely on, and even that comes without guarantees.
Listen to the interview here Yesterday I talked with karrigan, and he said you've been struggling to win your own map picks. From your perspective as a coach, why has that been happening? Obviously, we have tried several times picking different maps.
Right now the only map that we can actually rely on, but it's not even 100% sure, is Dust2.
Right now the only map that we can actually rely on, but it's not even 100% sure, is Dust2 Danny "zonic" Sørensen We don't play with patience. We don't communicate properly, and it's a trending factor for us this season, unfortunately.
And talking about the mental part, you picked Mirage the last time you played against NAVI.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Falcons Esports still has to answer for this: "Danny "zonic" Sørensen described a recurring issue: poor starts leave Falcons stressed, impatient and unable to follow their protocols or communicate properly. "It's frustrati…" That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.

Natus Vincere can stand on this line: "Danny "zonic" Sørensen described a recurring issue: poor starts leave Falcons stressed, impatient and unable to follow their protocols or communicate properly. "It's frustrati…" It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
