Yeah, I agree. As good at Monte is at casting, I don't think he quite understands what exactly Lunatic Hai's 2/2/2 is aiming to do with Esca in those situations. To be fair, not a lot fo people outside of Korea really get that playstyle. Like when Esca is on Widow, yeah he's not getting crazy headshots cause hes not a serious Widow player like Taimou. It doesn't matter though, he's just picking her because on that map he will consistently apply pressure and finish kills regardless.
Again though, this season he's been really hot and cold on a lot of stuff. He's had to drastically alter his hero pool, change from being a carry to a supporting DPS, and there are monstrous DPS players in KR where they weren't before. Esca was known for gettign in over his head and dying in S1, and so far in S2 he's had a rougher time with that which has costed his team entire maps. That's why he's getting called out more than anything; if somebody on LH is going to throw it will be him almost every time. It's easy to see him as the biggest liability in that sense.
When he does take those risks and make those plays though he's a god tier player. If he could consistently iron out the "optimistic" nature of how he sets up plays he'd be one of the best DPS players in the world. Not mechanically even, just on a teamwork and fighting level.
LH is a fun team to analyze. Lot's of interesting players in a very interesting playstyle.
