FNC gonna drop their last piece of dead weight and have an absolute god squad for champs, might try to grab a guy like Zeek or if they want someone more flexible then try to poach Hoody, Cloud or Molsi

Agreed, this seems to be the trend at this point. Imo they need a coachand staff change, it’s a hot take but they run out of stuff later in the tournament. Just look how well fpx improved this time, this needs to be the case for us too. And look how optic improve so fast after a loss. This is never th case for us.
Ya but some of his agents aren't necessary. The average flex player plays 4 agents (usually 3 initiators and 1 in another role) he plays 5 but they don't need a viper player at all with alfa boaster and enzo. If they get someone to play kayo on 3-4 maps, breach on 2-3 and skye on bind(who is better than fade IMO) then the team will be in a great spot. Mistic is a liability on most of those agents anyway so a replacement is necessary
Well Optic and PRX never had any players that were actual liabilities to their roster and never had fragging or role problems. The only time I can think of for either was when F0rsaken was on Sova which they quickly changed or when Victor was struggling but they were never gonna drop him after one meh tourney when he had covid. FNC has been a player away at pretty much every tourney they competed in, and mistic is the one guy who has struggled over multiple international tournies(was an atrocious fragger in both Copenhagen and in Champs last year) that has remained on the team. Derke and Boaster continue to perform, Enzo has been good since joining and Alfa is just getting started, whereas mistic is clearly behind on his role to every single player in this tourney apart from maybe Russ.
I also wanna add in here for everyone saying Mistic is an overall awful player, I think he's genuinely a top 6 controller player (boaster, nats, redgar, soulcas, ange1 prob ahead but then after its an odd jumble with guys like zeddy and baddyg all playing well in their limited opportunities) but flex is not his role. Put him on a team like ACE or G2 and I think he could be a very good supportive 4th fragger for the team, or even a team like Fokus , MAD or BIG where he could be a star or even try IGLing
IGL's are the main players in his role lol, the flex initiator role is the most popular IGL role because it puts them on agents like Breach and Kay/o that can be played hella supportive. Of initiators in playoffs he's still behind d4v41, benkai, stax, shyy, fns, leo and was around the same as enzo ardiis(when on initiators) and crashies who are all marginally better fraggers. Thats anywhere from 7-10 dudes who he's not support as well as.
Even assuming comparing IGLs and non-IGLs in a discussion about dropping a player is valid, including FNS is unfair as he has only played breach on initiator as his APR on breach is well below mistic. Most of his APR seems to come from viper and that’s just not a valid comparison. That leaves benkai, d4v41 (who to be fair actually has better apr on initiator than his overall stats due to him also playing chamber and who I probably should’ve included first time mb) stax, shy and Leo with higher APR (though the difference w shy and esp Leo is statistically insignificant). I will also admit that while looking at this, i noticed that though his breach is very solid and his Skye isn’t bad either for support, his kayo isn’t the best when compared to others in a similar role, and that is probably his biggest weakness in role. The acs point is eh as his role is basically not to frag ever
