Hiko and Ethan are both t1 players, but their roles are starting to overlap and it seems theres no room for both of them
Ethan was fantastic last year, especially on LAN, and I’m biased because of his rather successful (by NA standards) CS career. However, he hasn’t played well lately. Sova and Chamber are not meant for him.
Hiko is good if his other 4 teammates are cracked zoomer entry gods, and he also played well on LAN. His clutches are fun, but he can only play Sova well.
Set them both free, tbh.
hotter take, Hiko isn't the problem. He's an experienced support player who fills his role, everyone who has ever played with him across his long esports career has talked about how much he has supported his teammates behind the scenes which is more important than most people realize. Ethan is good, he just isn't being used properly. Biggest thing holding 100T back is lack of a good igl and firepower. If they pick up a good caller and a good OPer (which would let Asuna focus on rifling) I think they could become a contender for titles
There was never a chance for them to sign those guys. I dont know why people keep bringing it up. 100T thought they had their full 5 when those guys were on the market and they got picked up very fast before the team fell apart. People keep acting like it was a misstep when it was clearly a timing issue.
