like u cant even call him s"0"m since it makes no difference :V
I’ve seen ppl genuinely hate him for how much he sucks up fns and that’s honestly understandable. Deciding to sit out an entire year mainly to stick with fenis after looking insane is pretty crazy, it’s even likely that he got an offer from every NA Tier 1 team ngl.
I love bro but I honestly still can’t believe he isn’t playing this year. Don’t think there’s any pro out there as good as him that would voluntarily leave competing in hopes of playing with another player, he’s too good for that shit.
But if you're a garunteed duo with one of if not the beat igls in all of vct if you just wait it out and let your stock get higher, why wouldn't you do that? It's not just about FNS and s0m sticking together since s0m said he's fine without playing with fns but s0m is also increasing how much money he could make off of offers, and if he does get to duo with fenis then they're probably gonna make an amazing team since they have a world class controller in s0m(diffed mako and other international smokes when they played against each other) and a world class igl in fns.
like i alr said, he's too good for a decision like that. It's likely that burnout plays a factor in this but his value as a player both in and out of matches could've had him join whatever team he wanted for the cost of just not playing with fenis. s0m ended off 2023 as the best controller in Americas but I feel like he's giving fenis too much credit for his role swap success. Maybe he's right tho, impossible to tell atp.
