bearmans [#3]do you think last season's roster would be better than the current one? since they got to both tokyo and LA.
No, last year pacific were much easier. Last year T1 would be around zeta's level if saya perform like this year.
i think t1 should seriously consider trading sayaplayer out for a more solid smokes player
ive liked izu's duelist 70% of the times i've seen it and if t1 do choose to keep izu i think main duelist will be his best role
saya's agent puddle puts t1 on really shitty chamber comps that i've seen several teams punish very nicely now, and we are still not in a particularly strong jett meta
and a smokes player pickup will help xccurate's fragging a lot - he's struggled HARD with doing the switch to smokes, calling, and fragging all at once
i wish t1 were keeping rossy but they've made it pretty clear they're moving in a different direction
LeCat [#2]Yes.
I love xccurate and rossy but the team would function better as a full korean team. Im sure both will still find their place in Tier 1
Get Yoman for the igl role and maybe replace saya(king is the better sentinel)/carpe(stax as the perma initiator with saya flex)with king
yeah, I like both Xccurate and Rossy but idk if they fit the team
it's clear that the Autumn's ideas are not working out
maybe it's better to part ways with both of them - Rossy and Xccurate will easily find themselves a spot in tier-1

k1Ng would be an insane upgrade over Saya on the sentinel role ngl
ButterflyEffect23 [#8]k1Ng would be an insane upgrade over Saya on the sentinel role ngl
definitely, but i think i'd even just prefer xccurate to play sentinel
sentinel is a much much easier role to learn than smokes, plus i think it's just a better fit for xcc
rather they pick up a pure smokes player, or spend an outrageous amount of cash on demon1 lol let the guy do what saya does except flexing smokes instead of chamber and do it about 1000x better than saya literally ever could
toofan1 [#10]Trade Estrella and xcc
Xcc is good but learning a new language and idling a team is heck of a job
idk if I would want to see Estrella on T1
ahdd [#14]why? is he not good enough?
just not a big fan of him and I don't know how good he is as the IGL
Warlordwibz [#13]
- With Buzz contract expiring end of season, if T1 can use autumn’s C9 Korea connection to get Buzz, it would be an upgrade over Saya.
- Give trials for following players and see which fits the team: Akame, Sylvan, Yoman.
idk if BuZz would leave DRX for T1

I wonder how much money would NRG request for Demon1 buyout

and Rossy is out
hope the future will be bright for him
I agree they should go for a full Korean speaking roster (-Rossy even though he's individually good) where Xccurate speaks korean--assuming he speaks it well.
I sort of have faith he can do it though, he learned and used to IGL in mandarin for Tyloo during his CS days and gave some pretty banger performances at some majors.
There's a very clear issue regarding Izu and Sayaplayer; they're both good on duelist but Izu is only really good at Omen when put on smokes and Saya can't play smokes at all. If we're speaking long term you have to drop one of the two and put the other on perma duelist while you find a better smokes player.
I'm inclined to keep Saya even if he has slightly worse fragging because of his proficiency with Neon which we're seeing become more commonly used across all regions and I haven't seen Izu's Neon yet
I'm also not big on keeping Carpe after his performances the last 2 years, I used to have faith but not anymore, especially now that he isn't igling. Maybe bring in K1ng
Izu/Saya - Duelist
Stax - Scan Initiator
Xccurate (IGL) - Flex
? - Smokes
K1ng - Sentinel
