lakia will most probably not be in t1 this year

Lakia already announced his deal with gen.g has fallen through.
twitter post

he didn't announce any other deals but t1 and drx are nearly done with rosters, although drx could possibly sign him
the only reason I think DRX would sign him is only because they still haven't signed athan and mako also said he wanted an older brother on the team, which lakia could be.

only if all this speculation is false, then lakia really won't be in tier 1 valorant again this year

imo pretty sad but it'll be nice to maybe see him help develop DplusKia or IAM and even promote them in ascension like he almost did in 2023 ascension with DplusKIA.

you can just piece it together i havent had someone tell me but FrosT and others have said specifically they have scrimmed lakia trialing for a cn team and most of the china rosters are set atp but blg is looking for an igl, has money, and has made an international its pretty likely lakia is trialing for them as an igl no other teams really make much sense

So? Underperformed throughout the entire year and crumbles in the biggest games. You can win something and still be bad, look at fns and boaster. They just contribute in a bigger way, but Lakia doesn’t have that bigger way of contributing .

TBF to him, even if he did contribute to the win, it wasn't flashy or noticeable to attract offers.

Fair, him also having a horrible first impression at stage 1 for viewers, and then ending the season even worse off at stage2/champs definitely doesn’t help in teams wanting to pick him up

zellsis had similar if not sam stats to lakia when he won.

also you can't say anything when you'll never win a major anyway and lakia will always be infinitely better than you in every way

I couldn’t care less about if he’s better than me or not bro. If u don’t watch games that’s ok. His champs was horrible, stage 2, was bad, kickoff was horrible, and Madrid was alright. Unsurprisingly the streak of games he got his shit together they won Shanghai, his performances hurt the team more than it helped

What a weird argument to make.

Band wagon cause I’m not from the region of the team I support alright bro been supporting geng before they were even in apac. What the fuck does knowledge of the Korean scene have to do with anything when we are talking about performances in t1???
