with heretics seemingly imploding, it seems that G2's superteam is going to happen
how good do u think this roster will be?
- mixwell
- nukkye
- avova
- pyth
- koldamenta
i think they will be top 1 EU and be instant contenders for masters 3

I want to argue that you should pick nukkye as the primary duelist or maybe patitek for smokes
over bonecold or duelist over Lowel, but that’s just wrong. Perhaps you could transition nukkye or patitek to Sova and get a better aimer than ardiis on Sova (not that he isn’t good, he just isn’t the best rifler in Europe, or even top 20 probably) but this almost certainly would lead to a drop off in performance in terms of utility, as ardiis is still one of the best at Sova utility in Europe, if not the world. Now if niesow wasn’t taking time off.... I would definitely pick him and take the cut in utility for a top 10 player in EU.
Anyway, if twitter likes are anything to go by, I find Tanizhq liking particular neL's tweets quite intriguing: https://i.imgur.com/1tmoeLX.png
If Tanizhq's twitter like on neL's "It's starting. Basically G2 will finalize it's roster, then everything will move." means anything, then this only corroborates the article that was published by neL a week ago. Or the mans could just be baiting.
Intriguing in terms that he is likely corroborating/confirming the move. I'm aware that neL's record is near perfect or perfect, but in his article he did state that negotiations were ongoing and it was all dependant whether G2 could reach a reasonable agreement with Heretics regarding buyouts for both nukkye and Avova.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I have my doubts about nukkye being the main duelist on this roster. He does have a decent Raze and Reyna, but he does slack on Jett and op'ing in the current meta, as he is supposedly main OP'er on Heretics team too. At the same time I think that niesow was the superior aggressive duelist over nukkye. Don't get me wrong, nukkye is a solid player, but not the kind of player that could carry a team like cNed does or niesow did in heretics roster.
If this G2 roster iteration is to succeed, they will need to have mad good fundamentals, chemistry and tactical depth. This is not the kind of roster that is gonna win games due to their mechanical skill superiority.
If Acend, G2, and Heretics fall apart the players are:
ardiis, avova, bonecold, cned, kiles, koldamenta, lowel, mixwell, nukkye, patitek, paura, pyth, rubino, starxo, and zeek.
What teams should keep:
- Acend (I really don't think they should trade/change anything, but assuming they do decide to change 2 players):
- cned (cracked Jett/Reyna player, can definitely learn the other duelists)
- bonecold (cracked smokes player)
- koldamenta (igl, good Sova)
- G2 (top 10 team in EU, but I guess they think its broken even thought they aren't giving enough time to the igl + patitek duelist plan):
- ardiis (still a great and flexible player, although no longer an elite rifler)
- patitek (great duelist, get him off smokes)
- pyth (still a top sentinel player in EU, and the best looking player when patitek isn't on duelist)
- Heretics (also don't think that they should make changes, but if the team is falling apart and they change two players...):
- lowel (second best player on the team currently, and that's not counting that he's the igl)
- nukkye (best player on the team, incredible duelist)
- paura (this one was hard but it's easier to find a great smokes player than it is to find a great sentinel player imo)
This leaves the following 6 players:
avova, kiles, mixwell, rubino, starxo, and zeek
I think that the players out of those 6 that are worth picking up are avova, kiles, rubino, and starxo.
I can't decide where to place these 4 players since I feel that the only one that shouldn't go back to their original team is rubino, and that Heretics should find a good Sova from somewhere else. This would lead to G2 needing 2 if they did not decide to get rubino and have one of them playing something other than Sova, Heretics needing a Sova, and Acend needing 0 changes.
IF this team happened which i hope doesn't , there still could be other changes then what a massive downgrade roster i prefer zeek ardiis patitek pyth mixwell over this
nukkye will be the only shining light of this roster , AvovA/pyth/kold are such low fragging trio that it will be all on nukkye to carry and mixwell is very inconsistent on OP
i think that heretics can be a great team with the core that they have as in
lowel, nukkye, paura, avova
the team could go back to dominating if something like what happened to liquid/fnatic with a new pickup. I think lowel and nukkye are locked to stay if this happens, but this whole scenario is unlikely.
