Duelist Cryo - (duh?! 100T won't replace him with yay bc 1) that's dumb 2) they don't want to spend big money 3) the skill increase isn't worth the massive price tag when they are trying to save money 4) it's not that big of a skill increase and cryo is young and improving a lot 5) they need a solid core to build around and cryo is their best player and is a superstar 6) anyone who says to drop cryo is braindead. 7) he performed as well as he did with poor utility assistance, Asuna utility sucks, and he only really gets Derrek's util)
Flex Asuna - (should be replaced by NiSMO but Nadeshot sees him as the face of his val team so he probably gives him one last chance, plus 100T isn't trying to spend a lot of money, and should've picked up Zekken last roster mania but whatever. Plus it's not like he's bad, he's pretty decent, and sometimes he looks like a superstar, but he needs to be more consistent and disciplined, also needs to use his util on initiator better it's his biggest weakness and would elevate the team significantly)
Initiator Verno - (I think Derrek was a bad fit in the loose style of 100T, and the pressure got to him sadly, I think he can be as good as he was in LCQ again but sadly he just doesn't mesh and sadly his window has closed, plus Verno is too good of a prospect to pass on. He's a young talent with loads of potential, very moldable, low buyout which fits 100T plan of not spending too big and allows for more money to be spent on other roles, and he's insanely good!)
Controller Zander - (Sadly Bang is too inconsistent, again could be another thing like Derrek, just doesn't mesh well with the play style and the pressure also overwhelmed him. Also, it's too risky to pass on Zander and even Skuba here. I'd pick Zander bc he has good chemistry with Cryo, Asuna, JohnQT, and NiSMO if Asuna is replaced. He can also help JohnQt with midround ideas, strat ideas, and adaptations which is extremely helpful and a very underrated and invaluable Asset (An asset Bang doesn't have) he's young with loads of potential, disciplined, and is already an elite controller. Skuba is also another great option, he's insanely good and promising, and he also has some chemistry with the team, and 100t already tried to sign him back before bang, so who knows?)
Sentinel JohnQT - (Since Valyn isn't an option, JohnQT is easily the next best IGL available, and he's not too far behind Valyn, perfect replacement for Stellar, good chemistry with Zander and some of the team, NiSMO too if he is added, and a pretty promising IGL! )
let me know what you think!
