giantx hope?

i see a lot of people have them as a dark horse. please convince me why they will be decent. cuz imo this roster has nothing runner and tomaszy on off roles plus cloud (best player) igling i dont get what some of yall see in this. also their coach just copies everyone never seen good giantx comps or anti

there is a chance
not confirmed, but there is a chance

that ardiis is replacing runner for kickoff
(he's replacing someone for kickoff, but if it's runner I actually have mega faith in them)

that would mildly excite me but i wouldnt think they would be good just might have a win or 2 in them

purpo- very good fragger with lots of potential
cloud- proven talent with very high agent mastery and individual skill
westside- t2 prospect with solid potential
tomaszy- very good player that adapted to senti/flex very well
runner- poor 2024 but showed good potential, decent aim and gx picked him over others for a reason

basically lots of unproven but potential talent, good mix of biggish names and smaller names, plus a roster like this wasnt built to make headlines, it was built to have good chem and win

i mean i guess? i dont really have any trust in this teams scouting or trials tho after the constant roster moves of last year. it wouldnt surprise me if they made changes after 2 games. the only real thing i agree could elevate them is if purp0 lives up to his potential

everyone thought the geng and th rosters were not going to be anything more than mid, hsk and neilzinho were literal nobody scouts to most people

purpo and cloud usually play at a very high quality
westside seems very promising
tomaszy is kind of a 50/50 but when he plays good he plays pretty good
and ardiis is pretty reliable, similar to tomaszy but with a higher skill floor (so his bad games aren't that bad, but his good games are still really good)

as much as I wouldn't like to see it that roster can defo beat fnatic in their off season form

Wait why is runner getting replaced? is he having a visa issue as well?

we don't know if it's runner
but there's someone allegedly with a visa issue and ardiis leaked he's the one filling in, role wise ardiis would make sense

I mean Ardiis is fairly flexible, he can play scans and flashes, or sentis sometimes
If hes going to replace purp0 on duelist its ggs

yeah but that is quite different. heretics was comprised of unknowns 3 tier 2 players plus a fortnite pro and a returning player from the original lineup which had internal issues. and geng was 1 returning player, a ranked player, a tier 2 player, and 2 tier 1's from unsuccessful rosters but showed some promise. neizhino also won a masters and hsk had no control on dfm. i dont see the similarities we have seen pipson scouting and we have seen all of these players besides 1 play a full season and the 2 pick ups were on semi successful rosters but were probably the worst or 2nd worst player which is why they got rid of them. i like tomaszy but he was very inconsistent and im a vitality fan but runner was legit terrible and was a big reason to why they lost at champs. there will no doubt be surprise teams but giantx? i really dont think so

Cloud is good we know
Purp0 is going to breakout, I can’t say why

Otherwise I don’t know why they’re going to be so good, they just will be

i mean fnatic in their off season form was very shaky but tbf they were subbing players in and out all the time

i have more faith in gentle mates or koi tbh

Okay valid because gentle mates is goated. I bought their vct 25 bundle because I alr had gx vct 24

Koi can be decent but I doubt it

Won't be surprised if they lose to BBL again

ofc they aren't 1-1, but they are similar. I think pipson is a good coach (very emotional, which is good in a coach, shows that they care, and on interviews explains his more obscure comps and ideas). I also think that players like purpo, tomaszy, and cloud are proven to be very good, and the players like runner and westside have a lot of potential. I really think that the fact that they dont have a big name doesnt hurt them, if anything it helps them. I would have them top 3-4, bc the only thing that concerns me is cloud's igling, plus there is a chance that they just suck, but for the most part i def see them as a tight knit team that can have very high highs
