Are we thinking it was worth it? Serial hasn't looked nearly as good as he was in T2 so far
Cluckyistaken [#3]Yes , kamyk wasnt a bad player but he made many rookie mistakes which costed us some rounds. He did clutch few rounds for us as well , but he is very inconsistent compared to serial
Yeah unlike Kamyk Serial is very consistent. Consistently bad that is
Gyoppkyg [#6]Yeah unlike Kamyk Serial is very consistent. Consistently bad that is
i aint seeing serial whiffing neither a sage wall nor an astra star

I ain't seeing serial have half the impact Kamyk had util or fragging wise
If you look at the interactions between TL players and Kamyk, it seemed like they just stopped vibing together. So, even if Serial is not an immediate upgrade, TL are better off with a player they feel better about.
Serial can find his footing with time. He got thrown into uncomfortable roles with little prep time; I think he will get better (shooting wise) as time goes on. And he's already had an impact; TL showed flawless defense halves with him on Deadlock. Especially on Lotus, one of their worst maps in Bangkok. TL with Kamyk on Lotus was so lost that I think if they had actually had a default comp on Lotus, they might have even beaten Vitality in Kickoff grand-finals; they had that much momentum in that match, going into Map 3. I think this double sentinel meta suits TL with Serial, and nAts can call around it well.
We'll have to see if this comp holds up as well when opponents have VODs on it, but I am optimistic. They seem to get better each week.

Lotus Vs FUT was a util masterclass from serial, not fragging wise though

Yeah his Deadlock is clean I'll admit that
Kamyk was the top tier 2 player of last year and serial is just patitek with a stache. Ofc serial clears. /s
But in all honesty Kamyk was super impactful fragging wise however his utility as a role that’s not init was good in throwing the crucial rounds. Serial is just better util wise in non init than kamyk even though he is worse at shooting rn.
