Given the problems that liquid had this season, it baffles me that they ended up choosing redgar over sayf. Like all of the other gambit lads, redgar is such a lovely guy, but we didn't see an igl/firepower performance this year that I think merits him over some of the better tier 2 igls. Liquid probably also have more money to spend than the broke streamer-owned orgs too in terms of getting the better igl prospects. I'd be really surprised if sayf actually wanted to leave the nats/jamppi core.
Yeah I could totally see that from sayf's perspective. After a year of trying in a pretty dysfunctional system it must be a hard ask to sign up for another year. Was it until 2026 that they signed jamppi for? At the least he's a hyperflex and good personality, which probably helps a bit when you're re-building the roster year after year.
