CS2: Why are star players being blamed for failing to reach the Major finals? Or is there a problem with the team composition strategy?

The biggest goal for each team is the championship trophy. Awards such as TOP 1 player, strongest team, and strongest player seem to be of little significance to the higher-ups. Of course, winning these titles means that the team is exceptionally strong and one in a million, which will give them the opportunity to poach players and will inevitably lead the club to victory and elevate it to another level.

Because of this mindset, do fans feel that whenever a team loses a match, the star player seems to have to take the blame and bear more pressure than the average person? They are the ones who have to apologize. In addition to daily training and competitions, they also have to do public relations shows, promote and attract fans, and increase traffic. Their work is quite busy. Is the presence of other team members so low?

This is not to dismiss the efforts of teammates. Perhaps the criticism from the higher-ups is that they love to gamble on the star players they bring back. Thorin once mentioned on social media that the Spirit team was "consuming" donk and had to carry the team alone. His comments exposed the club's subconscious behavior, believing that reaching the finals was entirely due to the efforts of one person. Resource allocation and lineup selection revolved around one core player. It is undeniable that superstars have led teams to the finals, but why are they always the ones who receive the most criticism and blame after a loss?

This unspoken rule, invisibly, robs star players of their potential. From their debut, on their first day in the professional arena, they are unstoppable. People always say, "His past record was amazing, why has he declined this year?" Undoubtedly, it's because they are burdened by the immense responsibility on their shoulders. Greater ability does not necessarily mean greater responsibility.
