Galactc [#3]No shot they make magnum play initiators again he's shit at all of them except skye
avez has way more experience on initiators than sentinel. My guess is he's going to flex for them
Lugnam [#10]avez has way more experience on initiators than sentinel. My guess is he's going to flex for them
Oh okay then I don't really know much about him I was just worried since if he's the first from MENA and ends up on a shit team it might be bad for the region if he mainly plays initiators it's all good
UvuvwevwevweOnyetenyevwe [#11]I want more leaks, Emea ascension is already over, what are the teams waiting for?
bro let them tryouts
anyr [#6]is he good ? i just see him in radiant ranked but i dont follow MENA scene 🤔
yes, hes incredible
theres like 3 players who really need to get t1 from that region (avez, moh and akai) and its LONG overdue for one of em to make it
pretty much every t1 coach knows them but (probably buyouts?) they just never quite make the cut
Hes gonna be really good
kayte [#14]bro let them tryouts
I expect some teams to move quickly
many teams are trying out the same players

flexibility and comms are his main strengths tho, but yes bro can shoot
Mortadelo [#19]flexibility and comms are his main strengths tho, but yes bro can shoot
Has he been IGLing? Midrounding was KCs biggest struggle last year imo
Lugnam [#22]Has he been IGLing? Midrounding was KCs biggest struggle last year imo
Um, I don't think he was the IGL on NASR, but he was playing pro 10mans the other day and he did IGL a couple games and overall seemed very vocal and with great ideas
eklipse_val [#20]uhhh johnqt?
I mean if youre offering that we get to claim him as EMEA......
edit: yall are desperate for him lmao xD
Targu1n [#25]I mean if youre offering that we get to claim him as EMEA......
edit: yall are desperate for him lmao xD
You should anyways, he’s from africa lol
Targu1n [#25]I mean if youre offering that we get to claim him as EMEA......

I mean he is EMEA to the eyes of Riot
Mortadelo [#24]Um, I don't think he was the IGL on NASR, but he was playing pro 10mans the other day and he did IGL a couple games and overall seemed very vocal and with great ideas
He wasnt IGL 100%, they had xenon
vadoshi [#28]He wasnt IGL 100%, they had xenon
yeah that's what I thought, I just didn't have an explicit confirmation
Galactc [#13]Oh okay then I don't really know much about him I was just worried since if he's the first from MENA and ends up on a shit team it might be bad for the region if he mainly plays initiators it's all good
Let's see, i'm quite confident with Engh
Mortadelo [#5]Fuck yeah fucking finally, dude deserves it, he is insane. Been asking for this for a long time
do you really watch mena? i am alraedy swamped with the bigger regions in eu
Mortadelo [#9]Yes, great fragger, great flexibility, very vocal will probably help the mid rounding issues
so thats the plan? carry magnum by hiring a bandaid caller?
im telling you if yourre right about him he will be full igl before the end of the year
Congo1 [#33]do you really watch mena? i am alraedy swamped with the bigger regions in eu
Not all games but some, I do keep up with it

look at it this way: we know magnum + enzo + shadow (based on people talking mainly the first 2) was able to create a great igl'ing core back in Apeks
IF they can reproduce that combination then theres no reason to not keep magnum
gotta trust that KC have a plan, they overcame everyones big role worries last year too (and then got wrecked with comps anyways but ya know, in theory solved that issue)

Well in the same 10mans I heard his comms I also saw Magnum's and I was very positively impressed, he didn't feel like just a stratcaller, but I can believe he ran out of ideas at some point. Having a second caller is very important and almost every team does, if they didn't last year that could have bee the issue.
Idk I'm just fucking yapping we'll see, I like the signing

i think engh is fantastic obviously. he seems to be banking on molding magnum into what he wants to see and i respect giving time to develop which is rare and somewhat needed.
...but
magnum didnt show any real progress across the full year imo. if he got at least a little bit better we could be talking. So i respectfully disagree with the goat coach lol.
might as well make avez the new project and kick magnum for a player with higher individual skill. because if you match up larok with magnum you will get crushed. like just fill the spot with better players.
At the end of the day the burden is on the igl. most teams have the simple absolutist structure with the main igl having to call it all. Sure secondary callers help but you shouldnt NEED a second caller. If you do youre a bad IGL. Simple as.
