its clear that keloqz and koldamenta will get benched and maybe m1xwell so what are the options? keep in mind that for now they are not willing to pay a lot for players
I’m 99% sure mix is staying, not sure about Kolda, pretty sure about keloqz or Nukkye. One of them is 100% out, the others could be or could not be.
Honestly knowing Carlos I wouldn’t be surprised if just Mixwell and Avova stay (not saying they are the two best in the team, only the ones with more probability to stay)
Nukkye is the best player currently in the team 0 doubt, my concern is his attitude, what he said wasn’t right even if his angry was justified, plus he has said that he wants to focus on stream…
About Koldamenta you’re very wrong, he’s being fraging lately and being consistently in half board, plus helping a lot with the staff work. I’m not saying they should or will keep him, just saying he is nothing like bonkar
If I was in charge, I would drop whoever nukkye wants to drop as well as keloqz and koldamenta. I'm assuming he doesn't have issues with AvovA since they've played together for so long and if he's chill with Mixwell, then rebuild around those 3. Personally, I would pick up pAura and Russ from SMB and move Mixwell to Jett/Skye/Breach. So if I were in charge G2 would be: nukkye(Raze/Reyna/Phoenix/Sage), Russ(Sova/Skye/Jett), Mixwell(Jett/Skye/Sova/Breach), AvovA(Smokes/Sage) and pAura(Sentinels/Viper/Sova). Obviously the big question marks with this team would be who the IGL would be and if Russ could comm good in English. Obviously pAura was the IGL for SMB but he's not a top tier IGL so maybe AvovA could give it a shot or they could just keep pAura as IGL. But then again there's a reason why I'm on here and not running G2.
pAura and Russ are on their level tf you talking about? And even if they weren't, they are the 2 best available players right now in EMEA. Mixwell isn't on the same level as the other 4 but he is very versatile and he brings so much more outside of the server than the rest so dropping him wouldn't make sense. I don't see any other better options than going for pAura and Russ and dropping Koldamenta and Keloqz.
I love the idea of loanee's... Unfortunately in esports it's not normalized like in sports like Football (Soccer). I think it's great to have some young talent that can develop in peace without the pressure of beeing cut off the team. So yeah normalize loaning out players, or get an academy team is always a good option IMO
It all depends of the results of course... And looking at RB Home Grounds, that was worrying. But for a young gun to make Top 4 in Berlin, and Keloqz played well there. For those results in specific I wouldn't say he hurt the team back than. Of course Valorant is a young game and the meta is evolving beyond anyone had expected (I assume). So yeah, if players don't evolve with the meta fast enough.. That can hinder them
I really just think they should drop koldamenta and keloqz(or try to loan keloqz) and sign pAura and Russ. pAura already has some chemistry with AvovA and nukkye, can IGL and is one of the best sentinel mains in the game and Russ is a top 20 player in EMEA who can play initiators or jett and he would have the chemistry with pAura already as well. Of course this is assuming the internal issues in Heretics didn't stem from these 3 players and that the internal issues in G2 aren't between Mixwell, AvovA and nukkye. If not, then this roster would be stacked and G2 would once again be able to compete with the top 3(since everyone else in EMEA is pretty far behind the top 3).
Russ is going to Guild though... So that already seems less of an option :/
And we really don't know where the internal issues lie.. I've heard people say it's between Nukkye and Keloqz, or Nukkye and Koldamenta or Nukkye and Mixwell.. I've heard it all... Only thing I'm quite sure of, that Nukkye is one of the sides. Than again Nukkye said Lucas Rojo is now their "ex-analyst" so maybe that was the internal issue... Who even knows right
