a bit of VCT CN news

#1

Swerl is officially benched/moved to the substitute role on NOVA, as they want to field the full Chinese roster to improve their communication and team cohesion

Autumn is the new IGL for FPX. He'll be calling all the set strats, as Yosemite will be responsible for the midrounding adjustments

Autumn stated that he can frag well while IGLing so it shouldn't an issue.
SWERL getting benched is a shame but Nova has been looking mighty good with a full Chinese speaking roster.

Not sure on the specifics but I'm sure either the others understand basic english callouts or Autumn is capable of basic mandarin callouts

Interesting to see how one opts for a better communication while the other actually doubled down, making their english speaking player to be the igl 😂

NOVA change is good, Swerl is a great player but they looked insane in the 3rd party tournament with OBONE back in.

How much chinese does Autumn know? I can't remember but I hope it's enough to sufficiently IGL.

they looked good but OBONE is just not a good talent, he is highkey mid-low skilled, a guy you hope isnt going -10. They are going to hit a skill cap against good teams, especially since o0o0o isnt a shooter either they need 4 other guys to compensate that and I dont think OBONE is going to be the one for that

Surely if they wanted to do that he could just improve his Chinese

So has Autumn become fluent in mandarin now? Or are the cn players learning english?

Yosemite said that it shouldn't be that hard for Autumn since he's only responsible for the general off-spawn plan

Yosemite is responsible for all midrounding when the round is developing

idk if it's a hot take that NOVA are making an actually smart decision. They've been looking soooo much more coordinated since putting in OBONE. I hope Swerl's learning mandarin and gets better at communicating. He has a bright future in the region

it's not a hot take and I hope that all-CN lineup sticks and finds success as Swerl learns mandarin

it should be much easier for Ooooo to call now since he doesn't have to switch between two languages too

swerl has hand/wrist injury since the start of last year so thats one of the reasons why hes going on the bench
Communication wise swerl speaks the best mandarin out of all the imports (-nephh and prob delb) and his mandarin is genuinely not bad

after NOVA won Evo Series, cb said that they had communication issues with Swerl and they couldn't reach the ceiling
