agreed they aren't trying to build any hype or feed their fanbase even a crumb of excitement

What’s the point? It’s a disappointing roster. I feel bad for Jawgemo. Dude is so talented I just wish they built a super team around him.

Jawgemo is really good, boostio is alright,com doesn't deserve franchising,Ethan doesn't deserve franchising especially over initiators like bcj,Trent,eeiu

Hard agree with the Ethan comment. Only initiator I felt like he played well was Skye and even then it took him awhile to adjust to it. Didn’t rate him much as a KAYO player or as a Sova player when they switched the roles on 100T for a short while. Never really seen him play Fade either so I’m struggling to see why EG would pick Ethan over the likes of BcJ, Eeiu, Trent or even someone like Flyuh.

weird that people say jawgemo deserves franchising and c0m doesn't, when all their notable games were played together and the difference in stats is normal between duelists and initiators

Nah Jawgemo found a lot of consistency and started playing suuper well. c0m has just kinda stayed the same, just been that like “floater” I guess. I just feel like when you look at all the talent that you could have signed from NA especially in terms of initiators, IS c0m better? Not really.

Yeah but for their role it is clear that COM is down in the picking order. Trent Bcj and eeui are better and I can't think of a better kayo/fade player than Jawgemo.

Jawgemo still used to carry many of eg's games and he is one of the best flex duelists available in na. But I can name so many better players than com

Everyone severely underrates the experience Ethan brings to every team he's been on. Every team he's been on had a significant uptick in performance after he joined

Doesn't take away from the fact that there are way better and consistent players in his role

Hmm idk. Experience isn't everything. Ethan was very good on old 100t. But I have rarely seen him pop off at nrg. I definitely wouldn't say he is washed. But would i rather have someone like bcj who has shown himself to be consistent or Ethan who is just there

BcJ has been on xset for ages when they had fourth place curse, I wouldn't say he's anymore consistent than ethan besides his international appearance being more recent

And he was always good. And we need to take recent performances into consideration to build a team. Otherwise why not make a team with subroza,shahzam,dapr,zombs💀

Bcj is so highly rated because he's one of the more flashy initiators, he has great highlights and is heavily talked about. His stats are very good and they show how good can be. Ethan on the other hand is someone who is consistent and has discipline to make an entire team better just by the way he can play off of other people. Ethan really does make teams better, not because he's flashy or makes crazy clutches. It's because he has amazing fundamentals and team play that is literally team changing. People care too much about "popping off".

you cant say something like that when it's objectively not true. he brings far more to the team than fragging power, and he's able to play whatever agent necessary

Again there are way better players in his role that didn't get in

i hope you know what you said is mutually exclusive from what i said. i said nothing about "his role", i said he brings value beyond just a role player

U replied to my statement about how there were better players and more consistent players in that role. Ofc I am gonna think u are refuting mine especially when u use the word "objectively not true"

fair enough! i was referring more to players in general providing value (regardless of role) but i get where there was the misunderstanding. cheers to a non-combative discussion

EG isnt bad

They just could have been better, and thats the issue.

Jawg
Boostio
Bcj
Marved (If he stayed) / Ethan
Vayln

Maybe Com will prove us all wrong.

EG choose to save money at the start of the franchises?
Jawgemo is very good and deserves his place in the team,
but i think EG missed the chance to get players from FAZE, Guard, SR, Will(Ex 100T), marved etc
