EG not taking full advantage of the odd player movement and drops is the final straw in their destiny as a team. There has never been one singular offseason with more star power moved and dropped, and right now there's still plenty of good players that are LFT. EG made its first mistake letting Dre go when he was their only consistently good player, and though they haven't finalized a roster I doubt they replace him with anything better. This offseason they had the chance to make a team of
Wardell(OP Chamber and Jett)
Dre(all Duelists, Sova, Chamber, Kayo)
Ethan(secondary caller, Sova, Sage, Skye, Chamber, Breach)
C0m(IGL, sentinel, Breach, Skye, Sova, Brim, Viper)
Smokes player(IDK who but there are plenty of options, WeDid is the first off of the top of my head so we'll say him but guys like Aproto before he signed with Ghost and Andersin come to mind)
EG very much have the money to do this, and with a team that's been stuck between top 12-20 for the past year in NA now was the time to make big moves. Obviously, the 3 I mentioned are still F/A's, but from how it stands I've heard nothing about EG making an offer to anyone of note and Wardell makes it sound like there's no team he's interested in. This was their chance to become a top 8 team(maybe an overstatement but Wardell and Ethan are genuine stars, Dre has been fantastic for a long time, and C0m is the best T2 IGL) and seeing them not care at all enough to make heavy hitting moves is really upsetting when you want as competitive of an environment as possible. I hope guys like Ethan c0m and Wardell find teams, but would this not have been a sick roster to watch progress? Maybe this is too much of a ramble post but seeing such a powerhouse team in other games do absolutely nothing of note in this one is quite upsetting.
