I can understand where this comment is coming from, this is a very questionable move. In several weeks, this will either look like the dumbest move ever, or a 200 IQ move. Boi has been listed as a sub for several months now and has been working with the team. So I'm hoping that there's behind the scenes info, that were unaware of, that determined that Boi was a better option.

A more likely explanation is something happened for Steel or leave or be dropped, and b0i is there as a sub, either 100T has someone lined up, perhaps some CSGO legend, but cant be intergrated fast enough so they have b0i cuz he knows the system, or that maybe something happened between Steel and management or something and they kicked him cuz of it, idk

It's possible that they have someone from the dwindling NA CSGO scene lined up who will eventually replace both steel & b0i.

ya maybe after LCQ, they already said he's gonna be replaced by Boi. Boi has already been working with the team as an analyst/sub. 100T is already making a risky move by dropping Steel, at least the replacement has been working with the team the past few months, mitigating the risk slightly.

This is definitely one way to not win LCQ. Weird decision considering we are so close to LCQ. This 5 went up against Gambit and won. How do you break this up now? If anything their Berlin performance was shaky because Asuana was brand new international lans and had an underwhelming performance. I don't see how you place that blame on steel.

Just finished re-watching the tournament. The difference that I think is being overlooked by 100T is that Asuna is not an Operator Jett and that was the meta for this tournament. Yay and d3ffo are both getting early picks at a rate that surpassed Asuna hard. I don't see Steel being the issue and swapping him out is not going to improve your chances unless you're bringing in b0i to replace Asuna on Operator duty. Asuna is a god tier rifler but I can't say the same thing about him using the Operator. I'm 100% not shit talking Asuna but if you look at the man's stats on tracker, he practices rifle at like a 20:1 ratio of operator.

If you look at the 100T vs Gambit match, they lost Ascent on forcing him on the operator. In Icebox, he's Reyna so naturally he's rifling. On Split, he doesn't take the same aggressive angles you see from d3ffo and yay. You see him taking more off-angles to guarantee him the round and he doesn't abuse his dash. Most of his kills in the Split game came off a combined pistol and eco kills plus rifle.

By no means do you bench Asuna. That would be insanity. But if you're looking at the reason why you lost in Berlin, it wasn't Steel. They came in with a double info team comp and it didn't do well against the Jett Operators. when 100T didn't have that in their back pocket.

He was probably dropped for his poor performance and stats during the year, or a disagreement in agent roles since he’s a more aggressive player. Unfortunate really but that’s just esports and some teams just don’t work out. All these sensitive people saying he was dropped because of his toxicity obviously don’t know he’s not at all toxic to his teammates. You can even hear that in the YouTube coms vids. He only banters with other teams and that’s just part of esports, I’ve heard wayyy worse shit in COD lmao. Anyways if he keeps playing he’ll be a hot commodity in the valorant scene since NA are in need of more igls.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT LISTEN I GOTCHU ALL.
Nitr0's JETT OP as a second duelist alongside Asuna allows them to be more flexible with literally everything. Sure steel's protocols/setups are insane but that is stuff a coach can try to do (steel's insane no joke at these but), and nitr0 calling mid round gives them a higher ceiling imho. Boi can take over smokes and the team proceeds under a 2 duelist comp as say whatever, op is only viable on jett and the only one good enough on 100t to op is the grand slam winner lads.

This is probably what they’re going for. I think they’ve seen some type of problem with the one duelist set up they used to run, and they are going to run a more aggressive set up. My question now is who is going to play sentinels, and if they are even going to play them at all?

This is really risky. I think they're trying what Envy did with yay right before Berlin (iirc NV had a bootcamp right before the event), and they've probably already got someone in mind.

Always thought that 100T need a change in personnel, either steel, Hiko or their coach. Feels like in every tourney they came up short against sentinels and now envy when it matters.
For such an experienced team, they kept making the same mistakes in every match. Peeking one by one is kind of their trademark at this point, not properly clearing a site or corners. Spacing is still bad, asuna too out infront and hiko too far behind relying on clutches to have an impact.
A change is really needed, but dont know about the timing though.

Wow.. I really didn't think I would need to further break this down.

Okay watch what I do here- I am going to use a process called deductive reasoning to come to a logical conclusion.

Let's start with the topic being "reported Steel being dropped from 100T" and that there is some degree of uncertainty about the authenticity of these reports shown in the comments from this section. Considering you have 5 stars I'm going to assume you understand how forums work, and most likely, you generally leave well thought out comments and replies (this time being an exception wherein which you could've just realized you weren't talking to an idiot apologized for being so arrogant [cause it does happen to all of us] then moved on but chose to further exacerbate your own futile attempt to put me down as some "idiot kid" despite me being old enough to be your dad).

So I replied to the topic with Steel's last tweet at the time "he dodges me in the LCQ" which is implying that he (Steel) at least according to himself is going to play in the LCQ. We can all assume Steel would have known about him being let go prior to this tweet [because we look at the time the tweet was posted, and the time of the report and see that Steel's tweet happened after the report] This would lead any reasonable person to one of two conclusions it's either facetious (more likely) or there is a possibility that the whole report is a troll. This is unlikely however the portion of the tweet I pointed out is still notable to the conversation, not for the part you chose to reply to as if I was asking about loaf or even cared to be enlightened to where his screenname came from but from the part at the introductory sentence of this paragraph.

So what you do is take the unrelated part and act as if I'm an idiot "fanboy" of Sentinels because I didn't know some information about your favorite team, as if I'm entitled to care about your B-C tier team, whom up until this point I had never had any reason to dislike. I have been a Sentinels fan from the beginning I am not some bandwagon fan because they did well in Iceland so the term "fanboy" would be misleading.

Now it's time for my lesson to you people use generic insults like idiot and low IQ because they aren't original to come up with anything better or intelligent enough to make a coherent argument so why don't you go back and finish high school, get laid if you can, and stop insulting people you don't know at all on online forums which only makes LG's fanbase look childish.

This is just speculation but steel also got kicked when he tried to go to OWL because they told him his history with ibuypower made him untrustworthy. Maybe Riot is doing something similar for their 2022 season so they want to swap him out early?

I think we have to analyze the loss to ENVY to understand this move.
That and probably something in those comeback wins against ACEND and GAMBIT, which may have been won after they said "fuck it" to Steel's calling/setups and went full pub on the maps.

In Valorant, you either call super fast changes or hard setups need to be flawless (at least to catch an initial 1 or 2 kills, to provide a lead that is hard to counter). And usually on defensive teams (and because of age alone 100T has to be more defensive/passive) you are forced to react faster than other games would require. 100T could not counter the loss of one player in matches against Jett OPs, so I am guessing they need more individual skill and faster calling/IGL-ing.

Someone else also mentioned how 100T could not get good trades as they peeked one by one many times, and that is fixable by training and also having a better IGL.

As a fan, I just hope that 100T is indeed the best team NA, DESPITE Steel, and not BECAUSE of Steel. Perhaps Steel lacked the ability to make them win over Envy, or was not the cause they won over GMB/AC.

Remember the guy who asked HL players if they were getting paid?

This is him now:
