FaZe new roster

FaZe clan new roster as confirmed by Dot esports,
Babybay
Dicey
Shot_up
LarryBanks
flyuh

Thoughts?

no matter the results, this is a great investment for the future of na val. it promotes an environment in which young talent gets a chance to improve and show results rather than only signing experienced players (possibly from another region)

agreed, larrybanks and flyuh are from teal seam which is a c tier team

Mixing 2 really good players and young talent with an experienced player is the best they could do for the Valorant scene. Each one of them will grow professionaly from this experience.

dont u think they could have picked aproto?

I said it was the best for the scene and for the players, not for the team. There's better players in each one of the roles they needed to fill, aproto being one of the best options if not the best rn.

From how I've seen LarryBanks play from his streams and his career, his aim is honestly hella cracked to the point where I'm surprised he wasn't looked at more

ya it will be really good to see new players emerge in the "ex-cs-pro-turned-valorant-pro" scene

Especially since it'll help to build a strong base for upcoming Valorant pros, and allow for Valorant to create its own pro player base, if yknow what i mean

True, still aproto could've been the safest pick. Investing time in Larrybanks is beneficial for the player and for the scene but if it doesn't work out or if he doesn't play up to de expectations he could end up like most tier 2 players. aproto in the other hand has already proven he's worth the chance and even if he underperforms could still get picked up by tier 1 or 2 orgs, maybe going back to LG or joining ABX, SoaR, Apeks...

I mean Faze trialed both Aproto and LarryBanks, so either

a. Aproto just wasn't the right fit
or
b. LarryBanks just ended up making a better impression

Maybe they saw the potential in Larrybanks and decided to give him a chance to grow with a better team. A lot of tier 2 players could get way better with only a few months in a tier 1 roster.

What about flyuh, could some other rank demon have taken his place ? why not silenx he is too good with the astra and LFT

It could've been the fit but flyuh already got the sync and teamwork with Larrybanks. It's a good move for orgs to pick 2 players from the same team just bc they play good around eachother. E.g: nukkye & AvovA (out of TH), Sacake, PHYRN & Shrew (UCAM), even al0rante played well with amilwa in his team.

I think they already had Shot_Up in mind, so they probably weren;t looking for an astra player
