GX potential | VLR.gg

#1

Mortadelo

They have rejected a big offer from FNC for Cloud according to Lembo. But apparently Cloud will/wants to stay most likely. Other than that they are keeping Pipson and most likely purpo. Everyone else is in big doubt. According also to Lembo, GX has advanced talks with a RFA top EMEA duelist which means they want purpo on flex which I fucking love. And also apparently they are finding it easy to approach players because a lot of people want to play with Cloud. So the roster as of now looks something like this:

Cloud Initiator/IGL
Purpo Flex
Top duelist (if they manage to close it out)
Unknown smoker (Not necessarily fitinho/hoody)
Unknown sentinel (Not necessarily fitinho/hoody)

No no no, Purpo is an average duelist for VCT level but a world class flex

Fitinho is also an average duelist, if they keeping as duelist is probably because they couldn't find anything better. Also might wanna try to keep him as sentinel or something idk

I really doubt that, he has to wait until after APAC ascension which is really late and can't do tryouts from India, he might be fucked

nah purp0 is a really good duelist
he had highest fk to fd ratio in vct emea by far
it just didnt matter since his team wasnt setting him up properly and redgar was getting outcalled so purp0 had to entry stacked sites

He did a good job but I still think he would shine a lot more on flex and have a lot less pressure

if they get a really good duelist and other players, ill unironically start supporting them, even tho i already did support them somewhat

subbing a player in finals for 1 map only is just braindead, I doubt any other player with barely any experience would perform, especially on duelist

purp0 and cloud is a crazy good core especially if purp0 will play flex
if they manage to find other good tier 2 or tier 1 talent then they have a huge chance to become one of the best teams in emea

Not really, he streams to talk about his information doesn't publish anything that is not a 100% signing. It's a spanish stream, I can link that if you want

He IGLed the last 3 games of the season and looked really well. That being said it's not guaranteed yet, if they find a good IGL they might still choose to go that route

Fnatic going for cloud is super interesting to me.

Like what does cloud bring to fnatic that they don't already have?
Could this mean they are looking to replace boaster or Leo?

Good firepower ofcourse.
Igl wise, still pretty untested but did look good in the few games he called.
Role wise it gets interesting because who would then play duelist and controller?

Cloud on controller could make sense?

like most emea teams GX always a core with potential, idk if pipson can do a good job tho, I hate the valorant his teams play even if I recognize he knows a lot about the game, also too much of a dictator wanting to be a protagonist and not understanding he is a coach and not igl, should give more freedom to players and not use that weird system where no igl is needed, I am so excited for EMEA next season, the level could be insanely high if teams do their rebuilds properly and from what I have seen teams are targeting the right players and no recycling
