Feel bad for QCK, how the fuck do you even replace ASPAS? Welp he's going jobless in the next season, LOUD DGZIN? @DGZIN make it happen please.
Well in 2023, saadhak and less rotated between viper or kj duty depending on the map.
We don't actually know why Saadhak decided to push towards these sentinel-less comps.
You could easily argue that it was in reaction to the map pool and how retake heavy the meta was becoming.
QCK has not been good enough but neither has the rest of Loud.
Also, dgzin? really.
dgzin is a powerful duelist, have you never watched the guy play?? also yes saadhaak would have rotated between the duty but the meta has shifted for double initator and so Saadhaak cannot play viper and cypher in the same comp or he would lose 1 of the initators. LOUD's problem is they didn't shift to the meta (gekko, cypher) and they have to run 2 initators to setup QCK for a chance when ASPAS wouldn't need as much resources. So mainly the problem is QCK but some other problems stem with not adapting to the meta and role issues.
You are including aspas when you call them shitty right? https://www.vlr.gg/295612/loud-vs-leviat-n-champions-tour-2024-americas-kickoff-winners-b
Also I would rather qualify to an event, get top 4 and get prize money rather than sitting home but idk thats just me
There was a time on 2022 that aspas was the differential on Loud. It became more evident last year after Sacy and pAncada left. But Loud still got good results cause Less and aspas took the responsibility. Now, the firepower is all on Less' back and Saadhak's IGL mind. I think QCK is a good player, but not competitive enough.
I don't think that's the only reason Loud is losing rn, but that's a good part of it.
