Bruh did they not see him play on SR

“During the offseason, he was scouted by both BIG and Acend, but neither team signed the youngster.

“It was heartbreaking at first,” he told Dot Esports in an interview with translations provided by talent agency AZYT agent Chanel.

Alfajer said BIG and Acend, the latter of which was victorious at VCT Champions in December, turned him down. He said BIG chose another player because they had more experience, while Acend told him his English wasn’t good enough. “

every1 knew alfajer, there is no scouting there, they just were smart enough to pick him up regardless of experience or english

there was a very wholesome pride thread where everybody was wishing happy pride month and stuff, and then that guy came out of nowhere, I can't remember exactly what he said, but a big discussion started and I guess mods were sleeping or smthn. I remember he started saying weird dated and offensive racial terms for no reason at the end too. After a while, mods deleted his comment and locked the thread

I think they rejected him just because of his English and communication which is one of the biggest things in a team. Probably Boaster and the team didn't care about his English or willing to teach him some basics about how things should be comm'd in a team.

Imo, he’s a young player so he can absorb info like a sponge and learn languages fast.

yeah definitely, i really don't care much about this teams rejecting alfajer tbh, maybe he couldn't deliver the best on pracs with acend and big

i think he went to the best team which fits for him

both the reasons are fine tbh. Acend one is completely reasonal while big' is understndable as well because they went for musashi who used to play the same role as alfajer and was cracked at it (alfajer)

obviously now looks like a massive loss for Acend and BIG but I guess we'll never really know what goes on in tryouts. Language barriers is a feasible excuse alongside giving young talent a big shot can be a hit or miss, can't blame them for turning him down but it's good to see him on a top team now excelling !! also fits into the storyline of Fnatic always picking up amazing players lol

Makes sense. Luckily Fnatic decided to go with him. Acend comms already seem to be crazy when listening to their voicecomms so adding one with pretty bad English skills would be bad I imagine. They are also really on the fly type of team or at least has been. And BIG lost gob b so them wanting more experienced players is understandable and they already talked how it was pretty hard with Kaspe and Twisten since they were so young +Musashi is German. I would imagine Fnatic being almost perfect team for inexperienced and potential language barrier problem player.

I remember seeing a clip of Acend's comms and that shit sounded so chaotic, I have no idea how a non-native speaker was able to understand that

Its understandable by BIG. Big prefers national affiliation, and with signing musashi they have this and a cracked player.
moreover, they held up the chance for a full german team. when g2 eventually opens the gold sack to buy twisten, they can replace him with al0rante.

Its not really a reject, its more a decision with an other background.
