What are your opinions on these guys ?
Hate - Medusa - Estrella - Fivek - Efina - Goddead - Suggest - Seoldam - Astell - beyn , and others Koreans playing in japan or Free Agents . Is it possible to create another Korean contender ??
Suggest: most likely to be the main player Detonation build its core roster around.
Seoldam: Probably leaving Valo to be CR 3rd Apex roster member, as he's been playing with many pro apex player.
Astell: Terrible, after the astra nerf, this guy always refuses to take fights always want to rotate and in CR pro matches as their IGL they spent all their utility before even taking site as attacker. Speak very good japanese tho.
Medusa: Can speak japanese, Luck his way into 2021 CR roster due to being part of Bakemon, benched as soon as Bazzi joins and his time at reject wasn't all that impressive either.
FiveK: Feel like he still got it, but probably very comfortable at being a streamer rn.
Lakia: As talked in BoDork stream, Lakia been performing very poorly at multiple franchise teams scrim tryout, feel like he's not adaptive enough to current meta, might still somewhat dominate in JP teams.
Don't really know enough about others mentioned, but 1 player I want to see returning is Bunny. He speak quite decent English when he's playing ranked and his Raze can be useful to some teams since most korean duelist all play Jett but rarely Raze.
Lakia got wrist injury. its been there since last year's challengers stage 3. even Bail (Gen.G coach) said that he couldn't acquire lakia due to the soft lock deadline since if he brought in Lakia, they;ll have to wait until he comes back from the injury.
Seoldam is rumored to be in Detonation.
Astell if he goes back to being KJ/Cypher he'll be solid
Just saw the GenG thread about coach Bail stream, hopefully Lakia can recover soon, but he's still in contract with IGZIST and hope he plays with them until he recapture his form post injury.
Seoldam case is a weird one, cause even Bo Dork said he has offers from tier 2 NA teams... maybe he just doesn't want to relocate. I remember 1 stream where smth was teasing Seoldam about him playing chamber more often and Seoldam been playing customs a lot too. I feel like Seoldam would jump into CR 3rd Apex roster member if he have the chance instead.
I agree with Astell going back KJ/Cypher, Rion is a better controller.
Hate - Medusa - Estrella - Fivek - Efina - Goddead - Suggest - Seoldam - Astell - beyn
Hate - most underperforming player on TNL roster. Solid player but nothing like his ex-teammates Exy, TS, eKo, Meteor
Medusa - heard this guy is very mechanically talented but never got the chance to show it. Perhaps it will be a form only within scrims.
Estrella - high potential, but supposedly has an attitude problem.
FiveK - too old.
Efina - not good enough.
GodDead - not good enough, inconsistent.
Suggest - good, but he probably didn't get a taste of real competition. Doubtful he can return to his Reykjavik/2021 form.
Seoldam - really high potential and IMO if he plays the way he used to he will be one of the best Jetts in the world. Supposedly has a comm/attitude issue though.
Astell - not good enough.
beyN - probably received a lot of good coaching, but did not produce amazing results as DRX's oldest trainee. Perhaps he will find his prime in the future.
