- Why is FB stressful at E6+ ? I keep hearing from blind about how stressful FB is at E6+ Is E6 like L6 at G where you need to identify projects, and since PSC is more intense than perf, you are forced to identify and land hard projects every half? Or is there something else that makes E6 so much scarier than E5 at FB?
