Bro trexx is a world class player. You should have the whole team dance for him in maid costumes if need be.

But trexx has 0 interest of joining that team anyway

so you think he'd prefer to miss out the rest of the year? at least by playing he won't get rusty

Its better to sit out than to tank your stock. Playing on a bad team will make you look worse individually. Plus a lot of extra stress and burnout for nothing.

Take a break. Recharge. And come back to a good project with 100% of you

I might be coping but if someone with the skills of trexx was playing instead of Governor, Apeks might have had slight chances to reach playoffs maybe

i mean he wont have a chance to join a champions winning team thats for sure. and if he wants to play in Stage 2 besides probably Apeks if they drop Governor and KOI (must do full rebuild asap) i dont see any other teams making changes

Giants or Mates could have open spots soon. Giants might now retain flickless and mates might drop zyppan with the stinkers he is having.

Gentlemates could get really really strong with him

swapping zyppan only wont fix their team. they need good duelist too

i mean i agree that trexx is one of the best initiators in the world, but if he's toxic, teams won't want him. It's a team game, and if you have someone like that on the team, you're fighting an uphill battle. Unless they are 1v5ing every round, it's just not worth it.

I don't even know where the toxic narrative came from. He got kicked for having disagreements with Sayf. Maybe he's a big tilter but toxic not so sure

miniboo was at a similar level to other trialed players and the nepotism helped a very tiny bit
Governor is genuinely worse than id say 90% of EMEA T2
Crazy how the 2 worst plays in VCT 2025 so far happened in the same map and by the same guy

I think while miniboo was probably equal if not better, the nepotism definitely helped majorly

tbh at that point it's chemistry diff rather than just raw nepo, probably makes the most sense anyway

Miniboo was not the best option at the time but a good talent for sure.

Governor was known to be a subpar player.

theres gotta be a lot we dont know about, legal stuff money etc. bcus if all these teamless t1 players and open t2 players were that easy to pick up, theyd be picked up. but even besides the nepo teams, so many teams just dont pick them up
