Bc people don’t watch t2 they think heretics and vitality built a good team when in reality they got the 5th best option in each role

People said this about dephh on Sen, yeah I know better than the coaches, or maybe this game suffers from nepotism imagine thinking some bang average bum who was tossed around every vrl league is gonna do shit against t1 pros LFMAO

this is a t2 player who has no connections to any tier 1 people except an IGL who now coaches for t2 in NA
there is no Nepotism here

there’s obviously nepotism because he’s shit, except it’s braindead nepotism because heretics could get a Spanish init Yurii who’s just as average as kicks if not a little better because yurii didn’t get tossed around 5 different regions

he played in 2 regions at least go with a factual narrative
and its clear you have very little info about him and havent bothered actually watching his past seasons (or even clicking on the stats tab) so you have fun hating on young players^^

Any player who can’t use utility properly against unicorns of love isn’t gonna use utility properly against giants

again the france is an offseason tournament, since you apparently watched you will have noticed that its a different format and didnt require teams to swap regions as you can tell by bonk immediately playing in polaris after the offseason ended

hey parla had a bunch of rejects because they played in EMEA tournaments during the offseason! how could they practice!

Yes, you're right, Kicks, RunneR, Benjy, Woot and Riens are all TH and VIT owners family

Gotta be because they suck ass rip those teams

As a loyal vitality fan this is why I can’t rep that org in this game, no French to carry no win

Specifically RunneR and Woot I've been knowing they would be in VCT for a long time. I have posts in RunneR games almost a year old. If you can't see the talent it's fine, you will next year

Look at his time on Bonk if you wanna see how amazing he was/is
The bonk offseason roster was a genuine force - theres a reason they beat parla shortly after forming, who then immediately went on to upset actual t1 teams

it is clear you arent interested in actually looking at his stats, so just have fun
if it makes you happy hating on a tier 2 player getting an opportunity go for it, and keep crying about nepotism while your at it

I'm not saying he doesn't have the potential to be tier 1 in 1 or 2 years but I haven't seen anything that says he is ready now.

he was one of the best players in polaris 2 seasons in a row (back when it was still competitive with actual teams... not the poor husk it is now), has preformed well against tier 1 teams every time he played them and has put up incredible numbers in scrims allegedly

Vit has trialed him for 2 years in a row now and have deemed him worth signing this year so make of that what you will

Imagine the criteria for being tier 1 ready is going +2 against a t2 team with one goat named twister
