also found it interesting he said that riot told FPX it was riot's decision to replay the round, I always thought they were in the dark

Ardiis said on some podcast that at first someone from riot told them that xset wasn't happy with turret incident before the descision to replay was made that's why they were angry at them.
i don't know maybe it's riot fault or one of them is lying

and the shade on how unmotivated Tenz was lol

It wasn't a shade. He didn't know what happened on the team and as he said he talked to all the prev members and got the vibe that there's a lack of motivation on the team, not just TenZ. Then he sat down with tenz and was convinced that tenz was still motivated and the public perception of him preferring to be a content creator wasn't true i mean obv cz his stream numbers were very low compared to most players! Why are you putting words to his mouth to paint a narrative? LMAO

Yeah its not that bad yet and them going for imports is somewhat understandable, but there was a world where 2 out of the 5 Chamber players of the 5 NA teams could have been from EMEA. Like just develop your own talent. See EMEA taking tier 2 talent like Wolfen, Fit1nho etc. Ofc its bit different in EMEA because many teams and they can't just import top of NA due to money. But NA already starting or wanting to import top EMEA talent is not a good look for the future of the region. And its really frustrating as EMEA enjoyer as well.

He never said tenz was unmotivated, quite the opposite actually.
Anither interesting thing he said is that he actually talked with marved but he was already planning on taking the break, for anyone who thought he was making it up due to no offers

any particular reason why marved suddenly taking a break? Such a weird move when franchise just started.

#35

Burnout, too much commitment with franchising, and personal family reasons

this maybe the worst decision of his career, its not gonna be easy to come back and hop on a winning stable team if he takes a long break.

Yeah but i cant really blame him. He prob put a shit ton of time and work this year and is exhausted.

Maybe, I think he will be fine even if he has to grind through T2. He was the top controller in NA for a long time.

Some points :

Syyko mentions that he had a call with Tenz where he said the public perception of him only wanting to stream is not true and he wants to compete and win again and that he wasn't happy with how the old roster was going.
He wanted to bring the whole Xset team initially.
They reached out to LOUD players after the rumors about the team breaking were out.
They did talk to Marved, and Syyko talked with yay but he had an offer from c9 he couldn't refuse.
There's an unannounced assistant coach.

Great interview, kinda crazy he was basically given the authority to build his own roster, he mentions the crazy buyouts for top tier awp players, wonder how much C9 paid for yay, NRG for ardiss and TL for Sayf

tenz, dicey, bdog and more are all on par with tier 1 awpers. they’re just importing for experience and gaining a larger fanbase. NA plays chamber the most out of the regions

started listening to a bit of it so far, and when sykko mentioned that he was interested in marved, that reminded me of when rob moore followed both marved and crashies. they already had dephh as an igl and would’ve needed smokes and initiator so i think sen were interested in the both of them.

also kinda nice that sykko included that marved himself wanted to take a break since there’s been a lot of people speculating other reasons that are damaging to his image as a player
