Who's excited for the new fnatic roster??
Derke and alfa were already 2 incredible players on the same team. But now with Leo and chronicle??
Damnnn.
Can't wait to see them all together playing!
What are you looking forward to see?
I'm dead serious
I don't even need to explain why Navi are insane
And each player on Fnatic and Liquid is insane individually. So yes they do look good on paper
The only questionable part I see is boaster. Not saying he's bad or anything, just haven't seen anything from him in the past year that yells top 3 international IGL
You cant be "dead serious"
Fnatic and Liquid are flopping 100%
they do look good on paper
They picked up m3c players, which have not been strong in over a year. The only real pickup either of these teams made was Leo.
Going to get 2 teams of randoms overtaking them for 2-3rd trust
The only questionable part I see is boaster's IGLing.
Yeah he sucks lmfao, they would have needed to sign the 4 best players in their roles around Boaster to carry him to even have a hope of being competitive. Instead they have mid-tier and washed-tier
Not doing the sentinel one because we realistically haven't seen a Sentinel played in almost a year, players like dapr were always better than nAts. nAts has a massively inflated percpetion based on lurking around maps and cleaning up free kills, once that got exposed he was never the same powerhouse
Redgar maybe top 20 IGL in the world? Cleared by:
Ange0 Bonecold FNS Benkai Vanity Saadhak Laz Dephh Stellar Stax Shahzam Hazed POISED
Zeta counterstatted to LBF against teams ranked higher with arguably more firepower (TL, PRX, DRX)
Dephh has IGL top 3 team XSET for (i believe) the entirety of the rosters, knows how to work with his coach, and can bounceback from losses and take lessons from every match to comeback stronger (obvious improvement thoughtout NA Challengers to disappointing Masters run to really respectable Champions performance)
ShahZam ran the meta for the first year of Valorant without a coach, only fell off because it took them too long to hire one, they hired someone with no experience, and they couldnt work together to figure it out. If they had a Chet or a Sykko I dont think SEN would have seen the falloff that they did (also some credit to his shitty victim attitude though)
hazed made that dogshit TSM roster look like an international contender before it blew up, gets dropped, goes to NRG and makes them a title contender as well with all new players
POISED took Dicey (which 100T dropped because he was a "Jett one trick") and got this roster from T2 to one of the best teams in NA while working around his players strengths
Vanity took 2 separate rosters to LAN, and specifically with C9 made sure that they were never out until the map was over. His stratbook doesnt run out and he keeps the team coordinated for the whole map without even having a hard carry on either roster.
Redgar: "Alright guys, play this round slow and wait for the enemy to take space, hope they dont check nAts and we can get a free numbers advantage"

They are all (except redgar who's pretty mid mechanically but he has his moments sometimes, kinda like ange1)10x better than any na player aim-wise, and you know it. You legit said that nats is worse than fucking dapr out of all players which is hilarious af since dapr has never dropped 30 in his entire career, no anchor player in NA can replicate performances like nats astra on ascent vs oglu
