the GOAT needs a good team
They may know each other but Yay wasn’t able to keep up and I’m skeptical whether or not he would be able to thrive the same way he did before in the chamber meta. I understand that he is a high level Jett and his teammates may have been subpar for his level but imo I think NRG as an org would rather want players who fit the meta well and can be trained by their great strategists of Chet and fns to be way better than before
I understand he was the best player in the world but with how rapidly riot makes changes and updates to the game it’s easy to fall out of favor in the meta. If I had to bring up an example of it, I’d think of KennyS. Absolute demon on the awp but because of how well he utilized it. However it got nerfed and his career became obscure and mediocre by playing on many teams with it not working out
L take tbh. Yay has not shown that he's as good as he used to be when going gets tough. Chamber nerfs killed him, Meta changes killed him. and lack of Team synergy killed him. It just shows that Yay being a million years better than ardiis means nothing if he doesn't have the support to go along with it. They're not going to change what's working and pay more for Yay just to replace a team that has already shown success together, that would be braindead on their Org's end.
