ive been watching hiko since cs but man seriously he might need to go if they don't qualify for berlin
nope. nadeshot cares 100% more about brand image than winning. they can sell merch through marketing their team, winning is not compulsory for 100t like it is for others. they can just be near the top and pump out content and people will buy their merch which at the end of the day is their main goal.
100t isnt going to sign that bucket or marketing disaster, the brand runs on pr and the allegations killed all of chances of sinatraa going to 100t. but if all of that hadnt happened then sinatraa would be the perfect replacement for hiko, fanbase would merge perfectly cause 100t merch is just hypebeast + a tinge of simplicity, literally a match made in heaven but it isnt to be sadge.
I think Hiko gets underserved hate the majority of the time. But if Sinatraa can come back the same as he was, I think you’re 100% correct it could turn that team into a powerhouse. As long as there is no personality clash or something behind the scenes of course. But from a pure talent standpoint, that line up has the potential to shake what we think of the world standings. Especially as it seems 100T is in a solid place right now with it not just being Asuna and friends. But everyone doing what’s needed.
100T is just trash in general, these 'pros' dont learn or practise Haven nearly enough yet are paid pros. literally a fucking pattern of every challengers finals against sen 9/3 half now its against xset, and they have Texas lan ping. XSET to berlin at this point because 100T dont deserve to go with how they're playing rn
