how good is NDG? It looks like he's the most likely to be dubstep's replacement so how good he is compared to other players?
NDG was scouted by Naos because he was almost always at the top of the leader board. Naos subbed him midway through challengers and didnt use him at all in ascension. I think it was a role issue because he was subbed for senyorcarl, a better sova player, i guess he couldnt keep up.
I guess he is a young up and coming player but he lacks the experience
Edit: i made a mistake NDG was not a duelist player, he was their controller/initiator.
I am all for pickups like this, it's way better than taking the easy way out and getting giansanity, look at how picking up invy led to him being relatively unknown to being their best player, plus it's an upgrade mechanically wise as Dubstep and BORKUM were lacking in these departments (I hope BORKUM was replaced but ig we wait until next year)
There are currently 2 top tier controllers in PH right now BORKUM and Papichulo. When it comes to overall skill Papichulo edges out borkum but from what i've seem with TS' team dynamics i guess you can call borkum the "heart" of the team. He brings in good vibes and lightens up the mood, you cant really replace that unless borkum's performance will become more and more of a hinderance
Sharp aim, but zero IQ. I remember watching NAOS matches and when they play Bind, he repeats his position over and over again every round. He’s so readable. He just hides behind the box in hookah with a judge. Worked one time, but that’s it. Played and died in the same spot the rest of the match. And he did that throughout several matches. Literally zero IQ. Zero creativity.
Every map that he plays, he just chooses one spot to play the whole match.
