ive been seeing a lot of criticism regarding the loud signing, is vinny that bad?
is he comparable to guild yacine?
this was a funny game tbh https://www.vlr.gg/220450/edward-gaming-vs-loud-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-lr1

It was this actually
No because less is goated
Vinny is a good player from T2, definitely not the best and they had plenty other options
IGL'ing has always been a problem in Brazil because everyone sucks at it, so I guess pANcada is confident v1nny can be a good IGL since they played together several times across crossfire and valorant
so theres four things about v1nny signing:
1) individually, hes not bad. he had a good year in red canids, while they failed on split 2, they were top 2 on split 1 and he was one of the best players there. his numbers are pretty fine for a flex, and while he's not mechanically gifted, hes pretty ok and won't compromise anything on this
2) HOWEVER he was not igl on red (unless theres something i missed) and he didn't igl for over a year now, and when he did he never was really an outstanding igl in any way
3) so anyone would ask: why the fuck did loud sign him. its not that hes bad hes just... not special? there was absolutely nothing he did this year that would make anyone think "yeah this guy deserves a shot on franchising"
4) and this is answered with the fact that it was pancada's recommendation, and pancada is best friends with him. so yeah hes there because pancada wanted lol
which makes it a very weird decision overall
