The thing is, he was hit-and-miss in the off-season as well. Could be a bit of a Clove one-trick, but he definitely needs to consider if he has the right playstyle for Tier 1. SSeeS was pretty solid and decently stable on smokes getting DFM quite far in the off-season competitions. gyen might need to take some time in the Academy like Athan has done for DRX.
On the other hand, the rest of DFM minus Meiy were looking pretty sloppy. I'm not sure what happened to Akame, but he doesn't seem to be the same as he was before the PRX 3-1. Abyss might not be his kind of map and that Pearl comp was just not it. I would rather have seen the EG or PRX comp rather than Meiy on Yoru and Akame on Iso. I can see the vision, but Meiy works amazingly on Jett and Akame is a good flash initiator. Akame on a flash duelist as a pseudo-information gatherer is surely a better idea.
Feels like DFM got jinxed by their off-season highs
I think if they did an aggressive comp with Meiy Jett and Clove Gyen it could really work. Just sucks that omen literally dominates smokes on all maps (except lotus imo)
I think SeeSs had a more conservative smokes play style (like bang?) while Gyen seems to want to be more aggressive and take fights with his flashes (like tenz, even though tenz barley missed his flashes.)
I hope they fix this before their next game, get those mental jitters out of the way and turn back the clock to how they were in the off season.
Edit: also forgot to mention the experience factor, Seess has a lot more experience in t1 than Gyen does. It’s a hard choice. (Gyen was also a recommendation from meiy so who knows.)
Gyen needs to grind t2, we can't have another primmie or karon every time, even in the off-season events he wasn't that good. SSess has experience and fits well with this team. Maybe i am harsh but bro hasn't had even a round for us to be like OOOO this kid is sick he's just been shitting the bed everytime. As for the rest of dfm idk people perform best when there's nothing on the line.
I hope Gyen will be fine, Karon and prime had a little experience on a team before being picked up on their teams.
I think what they should do is, put Seess in and let Gyen see how he can mesh with the team like Seess does, as I said before tho, they have 2 completely different styles of smokes.
I honestly believe if they somehow can get clove to work in scrims on a few maps they can do a lot better.
(I’m coping on the clove thing LMFAO)
Definitely agree with your point. Karon and Primmie are examples of when ranked demons turn out to be well-suited for pro-play and can hold their own. Alternatively, we have seen some blunders of this such as NDG from Team Secret. It definitely becomes an experience-diff between gyen and SSeeS so I think gyen needs to grind Tier 2 as you said. The potential is there if he can lock down the smokes agent pool rather than depend on playing Clove and playing overly-aggressive because you can pop heal or ult when you take damage or die.
Edit: If they want to give gyen his Clove and then have another player play smokes, they could do that, but this option is highly risky given the map pool seems to be leaning back into solo-smokes and the addition of Tejo is reintroducing double initiator and Vyse + Deadlock combos are bringing double sentinel comps to a new level.
RRQ got some heavy aimers. They look great.
Gyen is a tough situation tho. (As said in my other comment in this post) Gyen and seess are 2 completely different play styles. One has a lot more experience in T1 but plays more conservative on smokes. The other has no experience in t1 but is a lot more aggressive on smokes.
It just really depends on the maps they want to play.
And as Midzera said, Gyen could just be a clove one trick.
I honestly think they can make clove work over omen on some maps.
