How would you fix Kru?
in my opinion DaveeyS, Axeddy and Keznit should stay but idont know enough about your guys scene enough to know good substitutes
(Edit: due to popular demand Melser should also stay, i forgot he was in this team)

Nozwer was only on Furia and they had Mazin as their IGL. Before that he was on the same team as Saadhak so I assume Saadhak was IGLing that team. I dont think he has ever IGLed before. But you clearly need more than a good coach because LEV isnt doing good with him. You need someone who can midround well aswell as a coach who has good ideas
Nah kinggg is still a good igl, the fault lies in a shallow support system in lev. Particularly in the fact that they are too rigid. They need more ideas flowing and if the players can’t give their own ideas then they need more analysts and assistant coaches. Lev is a good core they just need more support.
i mean look at the stats before and after igling. This split vs NRG 0.73, vs LEV 0.5, vs SEN 0.83 . And he went positive on 2 of 8 matches.
On lev, vs FPX 0.97 vs LOUD 0.92 vs PRX 1.12 vs Liquid 1.08 vs Fnatic 0.98 vs XSET 0.98 (SOLO CARRYING most game), vs KRU 1.14.
He had maybe a couple of matches where he showed some fragging power but really inconsistently throught maps, and the teams that he was playing were much better besides KRU. I love melser and i like their attack sides, but sometimes it looked really sloppy on defense. No good setups, or good calls for rotation, etc.
The players i suggest may be playing against worst competition, but they are more promising in his role.
david has an over 1.1 avg on all smokers, and he is a great pistol player (he overheats a bit). Mited has a ridiculous 1.4 avg on omen on both splits and 1.2 on brim(he is the biggest overheater tho). darker is the most talented aimer of all of those, and can play smokes and initiator with good stats (1.3 on omen, 1.2 on breach).
I think overall stats dont tell the whole story, but after watching the games, i felt like i was seeing the melser from australs, with low experience and confidence on some rounds, then the 2021 on others. You need a player who is consistent on smokes. He may have better fundamentals than the ones i mentioned and experience, but rn his aiming and trading has been subpar.
I think only keznit should stay, give him raze+flex role not awper. Give atom 1 more split. Klaus, axeddy, daveeys, melser and nagz out. Klaus has some of the worst stats on the league, daveeys plays same role as keznit and did not work as flex, nagz had too much chances, and axeddy is still inexperienced, he would also be better in duelist role on other team.
First get an IGL. Best options are in this order: deigara(good stats and flex), Mited(overheats on smokes but also good fragger), ntk(best but, language barrier mb), suther(keznit friend also), jfoen(worst fragger but top 2 on igl side on the list).
Second priority get a jett awper that can flex. Options are: Tuli(may clash roles with keznit), Virtyy(really consistent and good fundamentals), Matis/ligasa(both promising), nicomachine(can flex also) and fresht(good awper and good entry). Maybe Screwface as he can speak a bit of spanish.
Third a cracked smokes: theres 3 guys i recommend highly, Darker (can flex also), Dav1d(Mono), and Mited who i already listed.
As for sentinel just get either Feniz or mizu, and mb Theory if cant buy others.
my ideal team is ntk(igl and initiator) keznit flex+raze, darker can fill, feniz sentinel, virtyy for awper+entry jett. for 6th just get an assistant coach KEKW.
I disagree on some points. Keznit is no longer as good a Raze player as he was and Jett is his strong point, so taking that agent away from him would not be nice. Also, I don't think Latam hasn't produced such good duelists, however, I think they have good players in other roles.
Darker is a very promising name, but I can't say if he would be better than Melser playing at a high level, besides he doesn't have much experience and lack of experienced players can be bad. Plus the factor that Melser can be the IGL of the team.
NTK is very good, but I believe Rubkkoide (which I think has good potential) and Adverso are just as good. but they natively speak spanish.
and in your team who would be the IGL?
isnt ntk igl? if im mistaken please correct me. Melser as an IGL lacks lot of experience, as he was IGLd by kingg and after he started IGLing his numbers dropped heavily. On stream the other day keznit mentioned he is not as experienced with the awp, and that his rifling is much better, so he would be better fit as raze/initiator(not sova tho). I think his raze is still top tier as you can see on stream. You have not seen it much cuz he is pretty much jett main on this split, even when he could(axeddy played it).
I think you can keep melser, but get him off IGL he cant keep up on fragging lvl. but then Darker can come in as flex and fill w/e. I do believe he is the next big young player, alongside with Feniz they are undeniably top tier players. Rubkkoide is a good player but i think he clashes roles with keznit if everything i said goes along(he would play initiator mostly). Adverso is a good player, but not a good igl, as 00Nation did not perform and in the matches he lacked a lot of discipline and fundamentals(still a option, but theres recency bias as his recent stint in AK is really working out). Look at the numbers alongside both splits and my team would have better stats and passed my eye test as i saw most matches both splits.
To contrary of your argument, latam has great duelists as keznit, taco(not this split tho), tuli has amazing stats and does not miss. MatiS and NicoMachine look promising. mta had a great season also but i dislike him personally.
raafa is The Union's IGL, NTK has a lot of experience but doesn't fit the role. I believe that Melser can improve as an IGL, but if that is not possible I would suggest Mited or Deigara as a Flex/IGL. Kesnit even has the potential to recover his raze level and play well as an initiator, but come on, he is the best on the team at maximum potential, so I would prioritize him playing in the comfort zone.
I have no idea if Darker plays well in any role other than controller, so I can't comment. In reality, he has too few games for me to judge yet.
and about the duelists from Latam, not that there aren't some names with potential, you mentioned some good ones. But do you agree with me that none of them are the best on their team? I think I would prioritize other names, Rubkkoide and Adverso are basically smurfing in LAS
i couldnt agree more with the points youve made here. actually inexcusable that Kru chose to enter the season with this roster when so many more deserving players remain in T2. the fact alone that Kru decided to pass up on feniz and run nagzet in that sentinel role is criminal in its own right. also not a single T2 player in the world i wanted to see debut in this years franchising more than darker but theres always next year..
honestly just super excited with the roster potential of Kru but im still worried they'll continue signing these T1 retreads and assemble another rather mediocre roster. this team really just needs to be completely tore down outside of keznit and rebuilt with all of the available T2 talent to the point where it'll actually be devastating if they choose to retain more than like 2 players of this current core imo.
welp heres to hoping 9z take ascension and Kru management gets their act together :)
aun asi, entiendo la idea de traer a daveeys para reemplazar a keznit, pero si vuelve keznit, ahora quedo un hoyo gigante en los roles. Entiendo el enojo con nagz, pero es uno de los jugadores de la liga con mas clutchs (11), y ha mejorado su sentinela/viper. Aun asi hay jugadores mejores en su posicion. Viendolo de forma objetiva, nagzet perfectamente podria jugar en cualquier equipo de challenger y seria un aporte, pero para franquicias necesitaban a los mejores de la region, con la oportunidad servida. Aparte nagz es awper y creo que seria mejor en jett en este meta pero denuevo choque de roles. Lo que si, su kj muchas veces se comio lurks por poner tarde torreta o simplemente no ponerla/estar fuera de rango, algo completamente penoso al principio de la season. Una pena lo de KRU que no merece irse 0-9 pero si no tienes a todo el equipo alguien aparte de keznit tenia que ponerse la jineta y fraggear. Una situacion muy triste para nosotros hinchas.
Get another IGL.
Keep Melser, Keznit and Axeddy.
I think the others can stay as sub, I mean, I think Klauss, NagZ and Daveeys are really good players, but they need to prove themselves, we have seen far better version of them, and I don't know what's keeping them from playing like that, maybe nerves or a mental block, but I know if they overcome them they can play at T1.
