Riddle need to win this and ascension. Otherwise, the same thing will happen again. Seoldam's teammate gets scouted and seoldam left alone. Worst case, seoldam probably retire.

not enough. caedye and aace already get scouted by zeta. the only thing that can stop them from leaving is winning ascension. this team is strong they need to stick together.

My heart cannot take this. On one hand, FL looks shaky and even if they win grand finals, I doubt how much I can put my trust in them to win Ascension. On the other hand, RID might break even if they win Ascension.

Of course, I want the team that can win it all to go to Ascension, but I also love FL. Fuck. I'm going to lose my shit tomorrow.

Age is one of the factors among many. Some players will most certainly be poached. No point in waiting another whole year to get a shot at winning ascension when you can directly get a ticket to franchised teams.

We'll see if that's down to VCJ being more competitive/VCK having more mid teams or if they really are better. Ascension will tell

VCJ is more competitive than VCK 100%, and VCK does have more mid teams than VCJ.
And yes, only Ascension will tell. But according to the eye-test, I just find more layers to SPG than to Riddle. I actually think if Fennel won they would have a better chance.

What a comeback by Riddle, after that disastrous misspick on map one and the very one sided map two, you probably could have said this match is done. But those young players showed immense fortitude to make this reverse sweep even possible. Eight more rounds and Riddle would be the first ever Japanese team to actually win coming from the upper bracket.

I know everyone here is saying FL players should be poached but I personally think they should stick together (although it's selfish of me to ask them to sit another year) because it's better for the scene.

#146

Aielt

0

Frags

–

no. It is absolutely terrible for the scene if these players stick around cuz it would hinder the success of Tier 1(some of them belong in Tier1) and appearance of new young talents that could be taking their spots.

#147

arin2016

Frags

+

–

ZETA and DFM both have the capabilities of turning a mid player into a good player because of their abundance of resources. Rather than poaching players who have already proven themselves, they should take players who are mid and turn them into good players.

There is plenty of spots left in JP VCL for new talents to sprout in. Just because FL is there doesn't mean that new talents won't show up.

Also, taking players who perform well and slapping them together in a roster has never worked. You have to see if the team even gels first. They can't just take the good performing players from each team and then put them together and tell them to win.

#151

bubblecattxx

Frags

–

in that case shouldn't ZETA just sign the whole of Fennel? Hiroronn already played and won split 1 with the Fennel boys last year. The chemistry is there already, and there shouldn't be much role issues, then send Dep/SugarZero to DFM so that Meiy actually has teammates who can keep up with him
