Obv some t1 players can flex better than t2 lmao

nah dude being 6th man in most teams is just bad for their careers. I think people are overrating 6th position like if many wanted to be that one. You are way better off at trying to get into tier 2 team and trying to win promotion for VCT than stay as 6th in team that will never play you like most teams I would assume. People are expecting that teams will actually play all 6 even tho in reality most likely 6th man will never be played just sitting in bench and that is bad no matter how good you are. You want to play so your form stays good, show how good you are and then wait for offers from tier 1 teams. 6th position is for players who don't want it hard enough. If you have ambitions or want to success in your career you don't accept offer as 6th player unless they play you and even then its risky.

Maybe an idea is just take a young T2 prospect and develop them. The merits of subbing out a player depending on maps or whatever hasn't really been shown yet, but maybe that's not what you mean

omg again, 6ths are not a thing dude don't have hopes for it, good players don't wanna sit fucking bench. Also why in the world would you want a sub to IGL

better to have someone to sub in than no one at all

Yeah sure, and which top tier player would want to not play all year long until someone gets sick? If you don’t actually guarantee him a minimum of maps no one would ever accept it so you’re gonna have to put a shitty player regardless

6ths are not a thing

Are you stupid

Omg chill the fuck down, not this again, they are required to have a sixth, not required to make him play there is a BIG difference.

Teams can put their fucking mom as a sixth and keep doing what they were doing. If they didn’t wanna be six man rosters last year wtf makes you think they are gonna want to be it this year

Plus no fucking tier 1 player would ever accept to be a fucking sub that’s so fucking dumb

what will be even more dumb is by the time roster maina is over, every team will have a t1 sub

no t1 player would want to rot as 6th man
they would prefer to play on ascension
leave that spot to paycheck stealers or analysts

at least he played 1 map, doubt the 6th man will actually be involved just a sub if needed

I think SEN should bring back Kanpeki as the 6th man. He has a lot of energy and is great for content

Eeiu 6th man for c9 so he can play a dedicated sova on 1 or 2 maps.

Moose seems like the perfect fit for c9. The team needs another viper, cypher, and sova player, and Moose is arguably a top 3 sentinel whose best 3 agents are those 3 i mentioned. Plus he can play other smokes and a bit of breach

6th mans just sit on the bench and are forgotten about, look at what happened to all the B teamers in OWL

SicK would be an amazing 6th man. But he probably wants to be on the starters
