feel bad for them, another publicity roster instead of getting an actual competitive one (which is fine, creates hype gets people watching) but man these players are just getting thrown into the spotlight just to be ridiculed because they aren’t gonna go far, it’s fine with the team before considering they all were big content creators, don’t know if these players who don’t have any exp are gonna be okay with playing under pressure like this… (look how the challengers roster got mauled on twitter)
We all “knew” EG wasn’t gonna win shit.
We all “knew” C9 wasn’t gonna win shit.
Yeah it’s a massive gamble signing these players but to claim they did it for popularity, so they can seem like they are Jesus or something for giving these players a chance is braindead.
Toast is a genuine dude and wants to see people who deserve to win win. He ran an absurd deficit he could care less about publicity
i just feel like he was forced to do this after the cringe backlash of signing content creators to get more recognition, i just don’t wanna see these players get bashed by idiots because they don’t win a game. i really do like the GC scene i just don’t know if these players will be capable of handling what these people will say if yay couldn’t.
i think everything you said is correct, but i also still stand by my point of view. they deserve to be showcased, just hope the people understand that if they can make people that have been competeing at the top level for years talk about the backlash and mental struggle of playing for dsg, imagine what they can do to players who have 0 exp without anyone ever talking about them.
those players got backlash MOSTLY cuz they were top level players
ofc people are gonna start shit if the esports player of 2022 plays in t2 only to lose every single match...oh and they kept making roster changes every week....
not saying the gc team wont get hate but itll start dying out and theyll just be another gc team like any other
no one reasonable should be expecting this team to beat a v1 or a sr
Yeah unfortunately the players who don't play up to the standard the viewers set for them will most likely get shit on. Really sucks considering that I think Toast has great intentions of making rosters for fun and recognition for the scene, which in theory is a good idea. However the players getting ridiculed happened last time he made a roster and unfortunately could happen again. Hoping this time it changes though.
and it's still true for those players that being constantly ridiculed and having insane expectations constantly pushed on them is wild. however, comparing Marved and Yay who are seasoned players and competitors to 3 of the players on this team who have little to no pro experience diving into a massive streamer's team in front of thousands is completely different. they might not know how much it will affect them or how bad it will potentially be.
Pretty decent roster considering the NA gc landscape, with most of the big players already locked in for the season.
Core of unstable-hannah-katarina who qualified for the astral clash
https://www.vlr.gg/event/1378/astral-clash-2023/virtual-qualifier-playoffs
katarina formerly of v1, hannah formerly of geng.
unstable has been grinding some of the gc cash cups and has made some decent runs.
nathn a player who has experience on sqn 2.0, a pretty legit t2/3 roster
misu is probably the biggest question mark.
Huijinyong is a good pickup as a coach. part of the oresports coaching setup and has gc experience.
I've seen your VLR history and oh boy. You're on VLR all day. There's no way you have a job because you're an idiot. You don't have a life. Stop lying to yourself LMFAO. You're the biggest lifeless fuck on VLR and you need help.
Here are the hotlines for Czech Republic according to Wikipedia:
yeah i was just making a joke, this isn’t meant to sound harsh in any way but most of those tournaments you’re playing plat-immo players who are just casual gamers, wish they could separate the “main gc” event stats from the lower tier tournaments because their stats are actually better playing the real events
