ACEND L1NK

I'm unsure why people think this is a promising signing because wasn't L1NK the weakest link (😉) in Liquid? Like statswise he doesn't perform that well?

this team is gonna be straight ass imo but we'll just have to wait and see

L1nk definitely wasn't the weakest.
He was a huge anchor and always turned up when he was most needed.
Honestly think he was the most important piece to the puzzle

he's a good clutcher + acend needed an igl, probably he's gonna be igl and vakk is gonna play support or even duelist in some maps

igl is starxo now check starxos twitter bio

Masters 1--->people calling to bench L1NK and soulcas, it happened and now L1NK is suddenly good when he gets picked up, people make up ur minds, is he good or bad

then they have 0 chance in the lcq gg

i don't think so, starxo has a big potential to be igl and people are underrating him so much

0/8

Listen to meeee kurwoo!

I started to lose my respect for Acend's technical team. I hope I'm wrong but with Zeek being benched and replaced by Link "and Vakk transfer to the champion team" lol Lcq seems hard to win. I don't feel good for this team anymore, I hope cNed, starxo and monsteerr find a new team next term. Teams cannot be managed with this mentality and vision.

With this logic, they throw one of cned, starxo or monsteerr as a move to the next tournament and take guild russ instead.

If they kept zeek and bonecold, benched kiles and got monster instead they would be a top 3 team in EMEA, but sadly they're too stupid for that

there was no better choice than l1nk tbh ;)

L1nk was okayish in stage 1 and terrible in stage 2. Soulcas was trash in stage 1 and became a GOD in stage 2. Tough choice

yes, definitely...

then you won't give up zeek "your team mvp as you become champion" you will somehow find a midpoint and repair it whatever the situation is. Also, there are many young talents like Deepmans, go to one of them and take a risk, worst case scenario, you will have invested for the next period, if it works, it will be a long-term trial.

I think bonecold left by himself cuz his vision of how the team should grow didn't match his. Bonecold was unfortunate, but they fucked it up by benching zeek and kiles.

i kinda agree with you, i don't think this will work out

They benched zeek because of that vision bs too and monster for kiles is a huge upgrade

Its true that he has had pretty terrible 2022 so far, but 2021 showed us that he can be really impactful player.

I doubt it's bs. Bonecold left prob bc he wanted his team to play a completely different playstyle (like Benkai asking paper Rex to play like guild), and zeek prob don't want to play support but wants to be their star player(obv not possible if cned exists). Link left for the same reason: he wants to play anchor and not flex, but he can't do that if nivera is equally a good anchor(and in parts, better anchor).

Zeek himself said he prefers being a support player now instead of raze/reyna/kayo he used to play. Also not believing in the igl, who helped you win champions, after he showed he clearly has some interesting ideas, like omen split comp in astra meta or the unbeatable bind comp they created with brim, im pretty sure they won like 30 games straight on that map.

-Vakk
+Zeek
In my opinion

I see what you did there :)) I don't know what to think about the signing honestly L1NK is good (turns up when needed and he is a A tier anchor) but he has some really big boots to fill because zeek was really good

I think people just hear l1nk and think of it as a good signing by itself but forget that he’s replacing zeek of all people
