ElBarco Rostermania news (updated)

Congo1

Will update as stream goes along

Kadavra confirmed for Gm8. new/current duelist trials filu, tomaszy, kamo

profek is likely to not find a team at all

Kamyk to Team Liquid close to a done deal. Flickless, Tomaszy and Kamo are potential options now/ are being considered.

New KOI trials: magnum, ; Kamo likely to leave. --> Koi is in trouble. multiple players ditched them for other orgs. Still haunted by mistakes of old ownership. unable to secure first options.

Noone wants to join KOI. They have to start completely new sets of tryouts 1 weeks before roster announcement date. Kamo has been "stolen" and Filu most likely will too.

now Zeish joined chat and is arguing for magnum to be signed to KOI lol:
"Magnum was staying 100% we just had an opportunity and if no one picks him its really A BIG TROLL he's one of the hardest worker i had in team"

feels like Spanish community is in disarray and very mad at KOI management. A lot of frustration and blame going around. Meltdown mode.

Light rumour of Famsii to apeks

BBL news! : Tryouts with Ruxic and Izzy

xeus situation getting more and more complicated. Running out of options and his buyout is still 105k

Nothing of that kind brother. They just had a very unfortunate first season and then physically couldn't sign anyone the second year so they've just sucked for too long which makes players doubt them

Yeah but it's not true, they've just been unlucky for the most part really. The first roster was not suppose to collapse like that, it was objectively a good project, and all of KOI players have always had good words towards the club. Barbar doesn't owe shit to KOI and still tweeted how good of an org Koi is the other day

#25

They used to be fused with Rogue who are in LEC. But rogue has legendarily shit management so they had an ugly long divorce that made it unclear who has to pay for what and who makes decisions so they were unable to build god roster.

Plus theres still peopl contacting old management when trying to get in contact with KOI. There is stll confusions and outdated perceptions causing chaos and avaoidance

He's not doing it to troll man. KC has Magnum in very high esteem and all of the reports were pointing at magnum staying (KC fans were mad af)

But hearing his comms he seems genuinely good. That being said I don't think he's an option for KOI

#42

thank god. KC got saved. Neither would you want magnum to igl over saadhak nor would you want magnum to senti over elite.

Magum is fine. but you should want more. he is more like a Koi transfer than a KC one. he fits the midtable calibre

first season fell short of expectations, second season they were screwed over by transfer window and couldn't get who they wanted. from an outside perspective, players are probably skeptical of how their year will go with KOI, plus there's a lot of unknowns regarding new coaching staff

#61

Idk couldn't Koi just go for some of the Dach players?
Like Lime, Anguist, DaviH, Fizzy, Alorante would be really good players to pick up. It honestly feels like they are just bad at scouting players and not trying to increase the player pool.

No other team wants those players either, it has a reason

Anguist does, DaviH I suppose too but he's also got comm issues apparently. And Fizzy alorante and lime are bortherline tier 1 talent, there's better options for the teams + might have buyouts aswell

#83

Targu1n

Frags

–

I dont think the comms issues are based on anything concrete
All CGN players have been alleged to have comms issues due to their time on cgn

The team is the meme team in DACH so things do just get blown out proportions a tad bit. Its fun to make fun of them for their play-style and its easy to call them out since the comms videos were laughably bad (from a comms standpoint), without ever having to worry about it getting personal since they win anyways

But that just ignores that ascension ever happened. CGN grew so much by the time groups rolled around and ended as one of the most effective anti teams. Theyre not exactly the same team we were making fun about for the past 2 years anymore.

#69

C310

Also they could try to get some of the Acend players since they aren't contracted anymore right?
Musashi, Alive and the others aren't that bad especially when Musashi doesn't have to igl.

#73

Mortadelo

Same, bortherline tier 1 talent but teams think they have better options

#74

C310

Frags

I mean if Koi can't get the players that they want and ngl I don't see how Filu and Kamo are better than Lime no front, they will need to definitely consider other options. At this point just pick up some Turkish players without a buyout.

#75

Mortadelo

0

Frags

+

–

Lime was statistically the best duelist in Dach last split, Kamo was statistically the best duelist in EMEA last split. I don't think it's comparable. kamo was very very good

And yeah the solution might be some turks or some we don't expect

#77

C310

0

Frags

+

–

I think you mean Filu since Kamo was in tier1 and wasn't that great anyways, Lime also has just some of the biggest flexibility of any duelist players in Tier2 you literally could put him on any role and he will frag out.
Anyways Koi themselves just make it harder to get a good team and are way too focused on getting "hyped" players instead of building a good cohesive roster that makes sense, they don't have that much bargain power compared to the other tier1 orgs and just should trial more underrated and less popular options.

Yeah Derke would be open to it. And if FNC still doesn't want to sell to VIT, GX could be a good middle ground both accept. Derke gets a good project in EMEA and FNC doesn't help create super monster VIT
