Zander pickup

Genuinely why?

because he was one of the most exciting / hyped up players in T2?

because he was one of the most exciting / hyped up players in T2?

He couldn’t even beat 2G esports when it mattered the most

well he was better in trials than the other options. the other options being other people he beat in tier 2

He is underperforming bigtime there hasn’t been much showing from him

bang left and (on paper) he was the best replacement if not an upgrade

he's genuinely SO MID
tier 2 performance =/= tier 1 performance just like verno

so one loss in the finals discredits his entire career?
also he played a probably better 2g roster then they have now

how is he getting the blame lol

Zander is good. I blame the team hes in tbh.

people hyped him up because last year NA challengers was mid and he was their alleged best player. xenom is on the same role and hasnt even classified to ascension last year and hes frying on franchising now, theres no excuse. hes good but was overrated pre-season and is on fraudwatch now

Anybody who thought Zander is an upgrade is lost

I think Zander is great but upgrade is crazy

bang was coming off a mid ass performance on 100t and zander looked great on m80

now bang is clearly better than zander but tbh the constant here is 100t so im hesitant to even blame him

I don't agree that he was mid last year personally but everybody is entitled to their own opinion

if anything he looked better on 100T than sen to me

Lots of new Tier 2 potential players need to replace a lot of these Tier 1 frauds.

he was good most of last year but the whole team had a stinker stage 2 except (ironically) the sen game where asuna and bang turned into shaq and kobe

T2 prospects like mada have definitely proven their worth but Zander is kind of in a weird spot, he's being led by an accomplished igl but the 100T system feels complacent and uninspired. He's done nothing to stand out but he's not outstandingly bad or awkward either. Losing 13-1 for example is not the controller players fault.

he was the most hyped smokes player in T2

You must know nothing about NA tier 2. He has been one of the best controllers in NA for years.

y0y clears him on smokes

feels like the constant here is 100T

imo i wouldve considered Skuba better than Zander tbh maybe he has also very good calls for midrounding but purely on aim and util based i value Skuba way higher

Zander has also just been around longer and knows players on the team better. He was playing in NA tier 1 before franchising.

Imo boostio is overrated as an IGL

That EG roster that won Champs was amazing looking back at every player since then, but boostio has done nothing since, and he's still the worst mechanically. FNS levels of a poor shooter some maps.
