Plenty of options to do that in EMEA not named Rossy, specially when you already have an IGL

i'm not really sure who are available, can you tell me some?
like no good T1 experienced players left right?

edit: also how is avova, molsi and hype rn? do you think apeks couldve signed any T2 players instead?

A good experienced tier 2 player is definitely not what they need rn. They already have 3 of those

Molsi is like, Avova and hype I don’t believe much in, specially hype

Rossy doesn't have to be the IGL, he can just be a secondary caller.

I know, I'm saying if they needed an IGL I would understand because there are fewer, but if that's not the goal I simply thing they should have sticked to someone from tier 2. Maybe like a DaviH or something (CGN might have a high buyout for him but you get the point)

Eh, I think having a Tier 1 player who has qualified to an international LAN and has a hunger to perform more is better and safer than any T2 player at this point.

Honestly, I don't think you have to be worried because it most likely is an assistant coach and not Rossy, since on Rossy's stream 2 days ago he said Apeks hasn't contacted him, so this would have to have been a rapid-fire decision.

I would like it to be Rossy though. Apeks #1 goal isn't to win champs, it's to make champs and do better than M8 if M8 make it to champs. I think Rossy perfectly plays into that goal.

They've already got 2 of those with Molsi and Avova, what they need is young blood imo

But yeah we'll see who it is

Someone who qualified to a T1 LAN last year. Molsi and Avova haven't been to tier 1 LANs in 2 years.

Sry but t2>>>> gc, as much as I want to see flor on a bigger stage, pushing her to tier 1 is far too hasty, I just don't see how this is helping apeks.

I agree, it is very unnecessary, it's not as if EMEA are lacking players, should've put in more faith on their own players than looking for imports.

You're getting downvoted because of your tone but I agree with what you're saying. As bad as we all feel for Rossy, there is an UNFATHOMABLE amount of talent rotting away in the tier 2 circuit. And soulcas was a flash initiator/flex, so Rossy doesn't make all that much sense anyway (unless they're moving MOLSI onto recon)

Fair enough, but I did mean the tone. Nothing against Rossy, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, C9 is fucked up for that, but it just bothers me that we import so many people

Rossy is supposed to play Soulcas roles bro, soulcas is on koi alr and Rossy does not play Soulcas agent pool that much

Soulcas is not on Apeks, he was talking about him replacing Soulcas playing a slightly different agent pool

You need to keep the tone that way tho, if you :

welcomed them: org's will be emboldened to import more

don't react : orgs will still be emboldened

So you are left with keeping the negative tone as if to send message to org's " this is the last time you'll be doing that" or something along that line.

To me, importing is like opening a pandora's box, once you open it there's no going back,there's a lot of downsides with importing especially in the long term, I'd sure as hell hope they never opened it in the first place 😂

there r so many great players and they also pulled two unknown players from T3 who had insane potential out of nowhere (kaajak, keiko) like why cant they do it a third time, do it early, prac in offseason against T1 teams also they had Lime as a possibility, like he was the best player from a whole vcl season and is very flexible, like idk what apeks is doing

kaajak and Keiko were both in the Ascension finals of their respective signing years (both times on Apeks), so that's not exactly the best comparison
