another "good util" merchant get zest or rb to replace this man
edit: i don't actually think lakia is "ass" nor is he at fault for GENG's performance at champs. but korea can definitely do better.
AstroGalaxy [#3]lakia is good just had a super off day
Hynix [#4]
- bad during kickoff
- terribleduring madrid
- mid during stage 1
- mid during shanghai
- bad during stage 2
- terrible during champions
all I know is that he was good in shanghai
Wunkey [#6]As a DRX fan, I apologize to everyone for this terrible take.
I second this. It's amazing how quickly the conversation turned from "Are GenG the best team in Valorant history" to discussions of who Lakia should be replaced by.

"mid during shanghai" 1.10 k/d in playoffs while co calling with world class util
same k/d as karon with way bigger role, also way higher stats than munchkin, since im sure thats all u care about

lets talk about stats then.
Lakia has the 3rd worst stats at champs
Lakia plays the same role as reins, sacy, and trexx
they are top 10 in stats
Lakia may not be "Bad" but hopefully pacific valorant has better options.

geng fans want a guy who can throw util and frag with less "super off days" 🤯

we do "zest/stax" or maybe someone from tier 2 but the synergy will be broken ... i think they will try to win the next masters, if they dont, then they might make changes

bro what
lakia plays a different and more important team dynamic role than those guys. also, all i did was point out how good lakia was in shanghai without nerding out about his util, cause hynix said he doesnt care abt that
great stats (sometimes, usually in bigger games at that), huge in team role, great util, how can korea have better options than lakia? he is so important to gen g, and finding a better korean initiator than him isnt possible

always the initiators getting the most hate, not everyone is leo 😔

i agree that i gave off the impression that utility usage doesn't matter, which is obviously nonsensical on my part.
i also don't actually think lakia is ass, it's not like he's the sole reason GENG were terrible in champs.
but i've been advocating for a change like this for a full season and i wanted to emphasize that it would've been a good decision after their terrible showing.
ASTEROIDCHILD [#15]zest is not the insane fragger you guys think he is, he is very much in the same category as lakia. maybe 10-20% better and that is pushing it
you're not wrong, zest was always criticized for not putting up numbers much like lakia.
even more similar is the fact that they were both known for their utility usage over anything else.
but the fact is that zest did have those games where he was carrying all of DRX on his back, while lakia's performance is always proportional to the team's performance.
Burgru [#10]geng fans want a guy who can throw util and frag with less "super off days" 🤯
im not a geng fan but yes i think anybody who wants to see geng become a better team would want a better player.
Hynix [#24]im not a geng fan but yes i think anybody who wants to see geng become a better team would want a better player.
name 1 better korean initiator
Hynix [#27]ivy zest rb stax francis yoman
i think only two of those are decent ideas, ivy and yoman
stax could be good but hes never been much of a sova
