what is bilibili doing 😭

Recent poor performances in LAN + nephh is a very expensive import because he won APAC ascension with BLD. He might got an offer from BLD as their roster rebuilds but only time will tell

Bro doing god's work

totally not china but holy shit another big roster changes to GE? wtf
and good god, i wish they replace sword9 with someone better. they are fine with the 4 of the players and could even win some big games with spitfires online but holy shit sword9 was and is going to cripple this team.

GE making a new roster change is valid, the 2024 GE roster was acc not hitting and they need more Indian talents.
But I have to disagree with the Sword9 replacement. Sword9 had been the OG player in the CN valorant scene and he had been there since the start. He has a ton of experiences and AG is a team where their performance > fame.
Sword9 didnt even perform that bad and he was acc pretty stable and reliable as an IGL (Not having too bad of a stat and not having negative impacts to his team. Spitfire is really inconsistent and he only acts like a so called "star duelist" when he is facing the less favorited teams

rocket isnt really credible, they got a ton of stuff wrong last offseason and havent even updated basic stuff + making assumptions about teams while they were playing in champs

sword9 only got positive stats once, and that was against the dumbass team called tyloo, for the whole year.
this is FPS. they need a better player as IGL and as an overall player.

Thats why I listed them for rumors for now. I dont really I agree with him but we just need to wait.

I hate to say this but. He is an IGL.
But I agree they need a better overall player but according to reliable sources when Sword9 was in EDG as an assistant coach in 2023 he made a ton of anti- strats & Strats and that made them succeed in 2023 majorly.
