Due to the time limitations between our time and Shanghai and Stage 2, giving us 11 days of practice, I personally would much rather have options rather than making extreme decisions like cutting a player, but that is a personal take. This allows us to have more time to make decisions while also having extra input to make the right choice before Split start. - T1 Daeda
