In defense of replacing icy on EG

#1

Wrk

I genuinely find it hard to believe that replacing icy on this EG roster would move the needle all that much. icy stats and performances are mediocre yes but it's also a byproduct of Evil Geniuses not getting results, too many individual mistakes, overcooking and overthinking site hits, no true identity as a roster, etc. People replacing one player on this roster will not automatically translate to wins for EG, EG need an identity shift and major changes to their playbook.

no they should do a full revamp imagine gmd or notexxd or spaz in t1, their performances would be better. potter needs to start getting t2 players instead of t1 rejects. theres a reason G2 dropped icy

g2 dropped icy because he was always going to be temporary they picked him up mid season when nobody else was available. and jawgemo is obviously an upgrade. and having a full team of rookies makes things a lot harder i do agree like 1-2 can work but picking up 4-5 rookies you just lack too much experience it would be a miracle if it actually improved them in the next season.

who would you actually keep ?
yay sure fanbase
derrek maybe good performances
icy hell no
nature no
supamen maybe but better t2 players
sure "experience" is good but this roster will never make an international and only just scrape by through playoffs

i agree you can get rid of 1-2 of the players for rookies but not a entire new roster thats all im saying

nah i dont see supamen improving in the future. hes solid sure but if you want to be better u need to look for players with more potential.

but they'll prob keep him since they dont like signing rookies at all

that's true, there are way better t2 duelists that would kill to have an opportunity on a franchise team
