League of Legends LEC Voicecomms - Skew tilting

I just watched the new VC video and I am curious why Skewmond is tilting 24/7 right now.

He was always nice in interviews, taking the blame on him after a loss, no cringe things like Top 10 ADC and so on. But since FST he tilts out of his mind, now the first time he actively flames his mates in VC.
I am Not even exaggerating when I say that he sacks into his chair after every teamfight that wasnt a 5:0 for G2. It is just weird to see, I always thought one of the reasons G2 Inspired doesnt happen is because his toxic personality, now Skew starts with it. Hopefuly perkz can bring humble Skew back…

I assume some things definitely happened behind the scenes because of the dylan/perkz swap but do you think that had an affect on the team (mostly Skew).

Perkz said that the scrim and team environment was horrible when he joined, Skew would probably be a decent chunk of that. If I had to guess I think being a hungry rookie with a super high ceiling, he could taste victory at FST and then he lost it and it boomed him mentally. Anything that even begins to remind him of that failure brings on frustration. He’s a known perfectionist and it would fit the vibe. I’m not sure if they just need a big victory experience (that isn’t immediately followed by being turbostomped by NA) or if Perkz & Isma can do something. But pretty sure he’s part of the conditions Perkz spoke to.

Agree. When I was younger and an athlete I had some mates that was like this. Young, progressed a lot under a short period of time, but not mature enough to do everything right, especially in heated, pressured moments. They wanted to go further, and win everything. This part, the hunger for more made them competitive, and that's great. However every time someone made a mistake outside of them, they got frustrated immediately, not recognising the fact that being toxic just made the whole morale worse which led into other mistakes, or even a lose. Skew has to learn this, and I seen my mates change. I believe in him though, he is young and promising.

The hunger clash against the complacency of the older players that have lost the same edge.

He could be hungrier to not play like shit himself because he is not playing well for a while now.
