KC SaadHak problem

A lot people is hyped for SaadHak join KC, but you are missing something...
First time Saadhak will be playing in an entire new roster and will be the first time he will speak English. I know he is capable to talking in English, but call the shots in another language is totally different.
How impactful this drastic change will affect him as an IGL.

Well Portuguese is not his mother tongue either, so he has already had to overcome that level of complication

Saadhaks English is pretty good tbh

I got faith in him tbh

His english is very outstanding so I don’t think this is AS big of a problem as you think, however it depends on his new teammates

He's pretty fluent in English, and he also comms in English quite a lot in ranked, so it's not as if he's super uncomfortable with it

But you know... Spanish and Portuguese are very equal, and he is been playling in Brazil for years. English will be literally his first time as IGL (valorant).
And i asked him in his stream about that, and he literally said:
"Of course im better at calling in portuguese, i never called in english."
This was like 3 weeks ago.

He lived in the US for a time

3 months to learn a language he already knows
he'll be fine

KC are playing in an off-season event soon in November, by then we can see early previews of how saadhak IGLs in the team. I agree this won’t be an easy adjustment but if there’s anyone that can do it, it’s him. The red-bull event is the perfect time to look at room for improvements

He still does, while everyone else has moved back.

I met him in person once and his English was pretty good ngl

My point is: talking in english is one thing, thinking is other. Sacy already said this affect his gameplay.

We got 4 months until the season starts lil bro have some confidence

saadhak isnt exactly being brought in for his incredible gameplay though, even if it affects his gameplay his calling will be top tier in EMEA especially a massive upgrade from magnum last year

Yes of course, you're right. But if he has been able to do it once he is more likely to be able to do it twice. For example Kingg did a great job transitioning this year

Actually, less than two; unless KC have a stand in, saadhak will be playing in the red bull event which is starting early november.

That is true. Saadhaks life will be much easier if he has a second caller that’s used to comming in english, Im not super worried.

C0m did most of the midrounding though so a better example would probably be someone like redgar and that hasn’t exactly gone well, it’ll be interesting to see with saadhak though, I have a lot of faith

Last time I checked Red Bull didn’t start the season kickoff did

i wouldnt be concerned at all in saadhak's case
