your version of udotan is stuck in 2022. He has been playing initiator/duelist depending on the team's need. Saya is good, but he can only really play jett, raze is alright, neon questionable, and chamber. He IS more versatile than saya. its clear you didn't even watch udotan and basing his performance on the ones that you watched in 2022.
I have watched all of udotan’s games in kr challengers and all of RA’s ascension games (mainly for freeing). I know what I’m talking about and it’s nothing to do with bias. there’s a reason RA took him off duelist, his mechanics are completely fucking mid. on RA he was carried by freeing and on GJS he was carried by stew. he can play fade and gekko in cn tier 2? great. put saya on those agents with 0 practice and he will also farm cn tier 2.
the players are pretty decent. I think every single one is a great decision. The only decision that I caution is kellys. Other than that, I think they have decided on a pretty good team. undotan is a pretty good player. kr1stal is a great IGL. yokam is a new player, he'sstarted playing this year, and he has a promising career ahead if coached well. papichulo is an old and experienced player(not in t1) with cracked aim and pretty much, I think, he was among top five controllers in Ascension in 2024. So, I think they did a pretty good job."
