Unfortunately, I don't GS. I've never had a team and I can't imagine how difficult it would be to try and accomplish a win at this time. I don't have many friends on graal that don't already have teams and other guilds that they practice with. The kind of understanding of how someone plays and how players cooperate together while sparring is what it all comes down to. Let me elaborate.

MLG players at live competitions all sit together, and they communicate while they play. Players in a GST can't really communicate. Typing would be foolish, and I've never seen a team and its members just 'know' what to do in some situations. I don't know how GST strategies and tactics go, it all seems like teams play super defensively and hitting someone is mostly just a fluke.

I thought I heard something about how Alumni members were all able to communicate during the GST rounds, hence their consistency and fluidity throughout. I'd need conformation from an Alumni member, though.

Teamwork is a huge thing in GST. I hear stuff about "making a wall" or whatever. I don't really know what you mean by making "the right team", because that could mean a number of things: player attitude, how they support in a round, how they spar in general, etc. Something with Alumni is they just had the whole round under control. Each player of Alumni just knew when to switch targets and knew when to help another player or players.

I don't know if all of them just simply have it figured out or if they're communicating all the time, but when I watch other guilds spar it kind of seems like an 'every man for himself' kind of spar with the occasional gank or whatever.

I've seen other guilds with nearly the same thing and same fluidity.

I just need an in-depth explanation to why some teams just don't work. Even if the guilds all have exceptional players.
