He already got the title "the first world champion" and since esports career cant last long he might just want to earn more money
I think if they didnt somehow win the tournament everyone would Cned to 100T reasonable
Lets not act as if Acend was a good fit for Cned , all year long they were called Cned and friends , imagine the mental toll he must've gone through when he tried his best against 100T and still ended up losing.
He might've considered switching teams even before the tournament because of how the team were playing until the semis. And its absurd for him to deny heavy bucks and twitch viewership for a team that rarely turns up and if somehow they bomb out in 2022 because of the other 4 not showing their A game , he would regret staying with the org
Cned is literally just making a business move. since acend won champions and he is the star player he knows many teams would be willing to offer him large amounts of money to sign with them. however he isnt going to accept any of these offers, he is just going to use them as leverage in negotiating a resign with acend. ex. "oh 100t offered me x amount of money per month salary can you match that or beat that price?" obv acend will try to do what ever it takes to keep their star player so in the end he will end up resigning. if he does somehow decide to leave tho it has to be for other reasons than just money. possibly internal conflict with teamates or management. either way he is most likely going to just resign with acend.
