Would LOUD have won these games

with qck instead of aspas?

I think not

Genuinely how can anyone believe that LOUD will be the same as last year

They had aspas to bail them out of so many situations but this year they just won’t have that

LOUD fall off incoming

This assumes they're just going to plug qck into aspas' exact role but I highly highly doubt that will be the case. I feel like they trade firepower for flexibility and they will continue to innovate and bring forward new ideas, whilst still having high firepower. They might not be as good as 2023 but it's hard to compare as they will most likely look like a very different team.

I actually still think they will be top 3/4 but if anybody thinks they r going to be better without Aspas, then that's just not true

Not sure but I have played with both qck and tuyz a couple times and qck always instalocks duelist while tuyz is just playing anything

I would assume qck is playing duelist and tuyz smokes

no. He was selected for his duelist prowess. One look at his tracker and it should confirm it

once for all you have to understand something: players can develop their performances and understanding. You are assuming tuyz(first time playing controller) and cauanzin in their debut internationally will perform the same which is not true.

Bro, by this logic, LOUD 2023 would be terrible because without pancada and sacy they wouldn't have been world champions

Difference is that cauanzin and tuyZ were rookies, in other words unknown quantities. They were always probably good, but were never given the tier 1 chance

qck is a known quantity and was given many chances at the tier 1 level and was never that good

Also Aspas > sacy and pANcada

pancada and sacy were way more important than aspas at that time, also qck never had many chances to play duelist in tier 1, the only time he played duelist in furia he had a broken back due to an accident

cauanzin had more international match wins than qck even before franchising, also players can easily be elevated or brought down by the teams around them. Dont act like qck is a bum who will make one of the best teams in the world not competitive at the top
