They are not adapting to the Astra/Viper meta like every other team in the world. Teams like SEN, C9, V1 etc have been playing tournaments every week without a break and still adapt/learn the meta with viper and Astra. But 100T had 3 weeks downtime (I think) to practice/learn/adapt to the meta. IMO they need to stop forcing different comps in the meta and also the IGL (Steel) needs to adapt faster. I think they are stuck playing Master 1 comp. Also get a better oper than Steel (oping on cypher is not it, imo)
Some adaptability would be really nice - that could mean Hiko flexing into more agent picks to free up roles for other players on some maps. I also think their attack sides are just kind of bad most of the time. As a top armchair analyst, I think that nitr0 could probably take up a more active calling role on the attacker side if they need to switch things up.
I don't see this team as either needing nor making roster moves for a while, though. They are an amazing roster, their org has trust in them (and pays them a lot), they really like each other, and all of them (except for the 30/31-year-old-boomers) are cracked out of their minds. They probably need structural and strategic change, and that will probably come without the need for roster changes.
They definitely should replace frost with a new coach, though. I don't like him. He needs to do more content for them if he wants to stay in the team 😠
Honestly I haven't been watching too much Valorant recently but I've been keeping up. With that being said, 100T is a top 5 team and 2 1-2 losses to Envy and Sen doesn't mean they need roster changes. However, they do need to make some comp changes and better adjust to the meta. Also anyone who thinks that 100T needs roster changes, tell me who they should drop and pick up.
they won't do it, but Hiko is just not good enough anymore. He is showing why he is washed in CSGO for so long before he switcched to Valorant.
Most Sova in the challengers event are better than Hiko IMO. In first strike he is one of the best Sova, but he didn't improve much since then, while others caught up and became better than him.
I think Steel still has a place in 100T but maybe more of coaching role. But either way -Hiko + a competent Sova will be the best change they can make
