Does anyone know what is up with the roster? Very eager to know what is being cooked.
Obelisk [#5]don't think kaajak will leave when he just won Ascension
We'd be dumb not to. Apeks is gonna be a bottom feeder, FNC isn't, FNC pays more and Apeks has always the risk of being demoted
Mortadelo [#7]We'd be dumb not to. Apeks is gonna be a bottom feeder, FNC isn't, FNC pays more and Apeks has always the risk of being demoted
I don't think Apeks will be bottom I can see them being similar with G2 where they have a shit kickoff but come back minus dropping anyone

acording to ardiis (i know gotta be taken with grant of salt) apeks atually pays a lot
sklein [#11]acording to ardiis (i know gotta be taken with grant of salt) apeks atually pays a lot
yup, not the most in t2, but the "rumor" is that they pay more than some t1 orgs
We dont know exactly where fnatic falls in compared to others, but they do have a reputation of attracting players with the teams culture rather than money
Hades_Loves_Rb [#9]hear Rb has been linked.
i see you bro , you are a bad person , imma tell you time2time , very toxic
sklein [#11]acording to ardiis (i know gotta be taken with grant of salt) apeks atually pays a lot
They do, but not as much as what FNC can offer

If I told you tomorrow, KOI is signing Avova hype and soulcas what would you tell me
Mortadelo [#15]If I told you tomorrow, KOI is signing Avova hype and soulcas what would you tell me
there isnt a single universe some1 buys them out of Apeks, that would be such a money waste
Obelisk [#10]I don't think Apeks will be bottom I can see them being similar with G2 where they have a shit kickoff but come back minus dropping anyone
seeing the roster moves Apeks def will be bottom or near bottom, Molsi is a good IGL and Kaajak can shoot very good but soulcas is to inconsistent and Avova and Hype r kinda mid
Huitzilopochtli [#16]there isnt a single universe some1 buys them out of Apeks, that would be such a money waste
No you misunderstand me. Let me out it differently, imagine Apeks had lost that 5th map and players were FA. What would you think if KOI signed hype Avova and soulcas. Wouldn't you think wtf are they doing they're gonna place last?

oh yeah i def misunderstood u, but i would def think they will gonna go last, esp after seeing some of those roster changes by some previously "mid" teams

Exactly. My point being, Apeks is gonna go last xD
Targu1n [#6]Milan said they will start trials next week so not much to share yet
They've already been trialing since last week. He said they have gone through like 5+ different trials
TM06Nick [#21]They've already been trialing since last week. He said they have gone through like 5+ different trials
o wait yea youre right actually, the initial rumors of milan joining fnatic got started via trial screenshots (where he was just sitting in them on his main)
not sure what he meant with that they start next week then, probs took a break or something? but ye still got a ton of people left (he said they were still going to do 10 mans) so some misinformation on my part, but result is the same

The roster would look pretty shit on paper
Our best team of the year (TH) was one that looked horrible on paper too; on paper is not the end of rosters.
And its not like we are looking at Apeks on paper. We already know its a team where the pieces work together. Definitely not anywhere to the level of TH (rn), but they work.
Being skeptical of their chances is fine (offseason teams are looking scary af atm), but you cant treat an existing team like new signings.
(Also we dont even know if they keep this roster or if they end up making changes)

its just TH had insane firepower to begin with and Apeks firepower is mediocre (Kaaja doing the heavy lifting and sometimes Soulcas against bad teams) and for T1 terms its def in the lower/bottom, strat wise imo theyre smart and innovative but thats it

Offseason it really wasnt clear if they truly did
Benjy, miniboo and boo all looked shaky (tbf boo was pretty good for an IGL, but nowhere near what we saw when the season started)
But ye, my point isnt at all that Apeks will be the next TH^^ Just that on paper pickups != actual roster

yeah thats a fair point especially miniboo was a gamble but i understand ur point
Huitzilopochtli [#3]I doubt Fnatic will pay 80k buyout and apparently hes trolling in scrims
who said this i'm curious
Moiraine [#27]who said this i'm curious
In sergioFFerra stream they said that xeus buyout is more than 80k
abhaudk [#28]In sergioFFerra stream they said that xeus buyout is more than 80k
no i meant who said he trolls in scrims
