steel does a pretty good job of "shooting it straight", said that swag is (arguably) iBP's best player and that swag didn't play even half as well as he should. He's a bit blunt in his interviews but it's refreshing to hear this instead of the typical cliche lines that you hear in many interviews.
I will say that he was pretty quick to make more excuses for himself than others (feeling ill, jetlag, hardware issues) before mentioning being outplayed but I think it's more of his pride/ego, not in a bad way, in feeling that he is should've done better for whatever reason. At the end of the day I'd much rather hear him speak bluntly than just give typical cliche interview responses.

possibly, but i feel that he's usually brutally honest so if he felt like they were out played he would have said that. since he didn't those reasons aforementioned is what contributed to the loss.

Steel gives some great interviews, no joke.

So are they out of the tournament? How many games did they play/win? Are there any VODs of their games?

I think they lost the quarter finals so they were out at the first match

I love IBP but I knew they wouldn't go far this LAN.. people over hype them so much Since they destroy NA when NA only has 2 good teams.. IBP and C9
yes they won ESEA but COL beat most of the hard EU teams and the LAN was in USA so EU where expected to do bad
After they bootcamp they should be in a better state

I love this guy, and usually follow its stream. But still not confise about what he said in its interview, i mean yeah they lost, but bringing all that escuse ... Come on
- Mouse problem
- Server issue
- Communication problems
- Jetlag
- Hardware
- Streaming instead of practice AIM To be fair i would rather see him just congratz other team and accept the loss like titan did since a lot of time rather than come up with all that "escuses"

The interviewer asks him why he (Steel) personally wasn't playing well, and Josh just names some things that could have been a factor for his poor performance. He concludes at 8:22 that he was just outplayed, so he did in fact accept the loss.

I don't buy other excuses, but Jetlag is real.

They arrived in Europe like a day or two before the event. Now they start bootcamping at the Gfinity studios or something like that I think.
