Russ has been a tier 2 level player since early 2022, he hasnt played in tier 1 since his disaster in masters copenhagen.!

Russ isnt a star in tier2, just an average player

But theres something people dont understand.
He is apac eligible and apac is bad.
T1 went 6-3 in apac league and had xeta and ban employed. Those guys were actual tier 2 na players and would be even now. Xeta and ban were also better than carpe while being tier 2 level.

Apac is bad and russ being a decent tier 2 emea player is enough to make masters shanghai

ALLAT FOR A PAYCHECK STEALER

It all really matters on what coach they pick up

with this logic then ge with ayrin shouldve been alright since he was in tier 1 na team, but no he is still dogshit in apac

This move actually makes sense they have two well experienced players in benkai and russ who make the call cook starts. It also gives lf and blz and others to get more experience. Plus he's indian so more representation for sa

with the recent leaks, i think ge will have a problem in the firepower department
