Now that the season is over - I think we can all finally admit stellar and or Mikes were the problem with this team. Everything Sean built last year collapsed instantly with seemingly the best duelist in the region being added coming off an insane individual performance at champs. stellar's IGL'ing is selfish and he plays more for himself than his teammates that's why his stats typically "look better". Asuna was a shadow of his former self becoming the sacrificial lamb for whatever shitty comp they came up with. He played whatever role - and sacrificed the most for this team. Then bang who was seeming like he was going to turn into one of NA's best players didn't even plateau - he plummeted. Cryo started slow but returned to form at the end of the year and tried to carry a dead team. Derrek was never the star but even he looked like a shadow of himself. All we ever saw from this team was individual heroics - they never looked together. At the end of the year it truly showed that all of them were unhappy with the system and yet nothing changed. It was a complete and total failure of a team I have supported since Hiko, Pride, Venerated, YaboiDre, and Valliate. We can all play the game like "the fans have no clue what they are talking about" but someone needs to take the blame for this utter collapse of all seemingly star players. Make it make sense. I like all of these players (aside from stellar) and hope they all retain a spot in tier one even though it seems likely Bang and Derrek are gone at the least. Hopefully 100T build around Cryo this season and put him in a position to succeed. DDK as the GM is also to blame, eventually the "give them time" speech runs out of juice. Wake the fuck up clown.

read through your post, like everything you mentioned, idk if I agree with the Asuna sacrificial lamb part. He played the same role someone like victor/chichoo/jing etc as like a secondary duelist(raze main) who can flex to initiators like skye/kayo.
IMO their best play is probably keep cryo, get fns and som and i guess joshrt? prolly means asuna is gone and bang with him and for sure derrek and stellar are gone. FNS hates asunas play style, has literally clowned on him live on stream.
We will see what happens...
