100T Roster: Stellar & Will > Hiko & Ethan

#1

romanval

I have seen a lot of people asking why they threw their roster simply because they booted ethan?

Stellar plays both Hiko's roles (viper and kj) and he also plays ethans role (chamber) much better than any of them did.
Stellar IGL's more experienced than ethan.

Will is 7th overall in ACS for NA in the past 60 days
Stellar is 8th...

Will plays Jett and Raze but is more comfortable awping than asuna, so they stick asuna on flex which i think is a good move, just like scream.
Bang will play smokes and in this meta i think the aggressiveness will workout really well.
Derrek is close to signing and he plays sova / 2nd initiator
stellar will play sentinel, 2nd smokes or chamber awp.
Will main duelist

Sean, ddk and mikes have literally built a team of 5 high fragging players who have all top fragged for teams on numerous occasions and people are saying they are a t2 team lol.
If any other team has a chance at becoming the best in NA it is this roster, excellent management and coaching, young players who are hungry to win, a fan focused org.
Where have you heard this before

little reason to say it will work unless we see them actually play together and show some results

good chemistry and time is what it comes down to, I see this as a new Guard-like roster if not more talented

They started practicing already (1 month before vct) I think they have time to build chemistry. It will be easier since bang was Derek and will's teammate. I also saw will duo with asuna on stream a while ago

Stellar is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "weeb 1 go kill". He is also known for a tactic called "Weeb 1 died, Weeb 2 & 3 go kill" what a absolute legend. Top 3 igl for sure

Derrek and Stellar are close to signing per GeorgeCGeddes but Will is unknown and Wardell could still be an option even though unlikely (was seen deathmatching with bang i think)

Wardell just plays jett and when wardell is on chamber you have asuna play rifle duelist just like babybay and dicey, Asuna on raze jett reyna and a few role shuffles for the map and you are set

You have to consider their recent stats come from mickey mouse tournies and they havent been as outstanding when playing against t1 teams. Also why is everyone so sure about the ethan situation? Did I miss something?

Stellar is 100% a great choice. IGL, can play smokes, and AWP. He carries Soar in VCT and hes always been underrated in NA

yeah but their stats are still better than the players deemed t1 participating in the same tournies so doesn't matter. If you need to rebuild out of the remaining players will is actually just better stat wise and already has chem with one of the core players they're building around.

ur right it would be easier versing worse teams but they are above all the other players in these tournaments like Wardell, Screwface, Reduxx.

I mean I find it crazy how they are 7th and 8th in ALL of NA for ACS like still that is kinda crazy + 73% KAST is pretty good I'm sure it will get better with 100T and teamwork, that's what separates good teams for bad teams, playing together and relying on your team like Guard, V1, C9

Yeah. looking at it too it's kinda crazy how few choices for igl's they have. Maybe c0m, poised or stellar. Literally in the fa's or players in teams that should be willing to switch teams or get chances stellar is the best option rn. Just fragging wise recently and somehow having the best resume and experience out of the available igl's. I guess you can say some other players but stellar is like one of the only actual strict igl's available and has experienced t1-ish while also being able to filll a role 100t need. A sentinel who can actually play all 4 sentinels and viper is so valuable to a team rn, especially for 100t with how their roles have lined up so far this year. Having someone who can actually be flexible within their role while being a self-sufficient igl seems like the best choice for 100t rn ig

it is a lot of hopium but I truly believe this is the roster, young players who can shoot paired with an experienced coaching staff.

If they work as hard as the guard did and then double it they can easily be top 5 NA

NA should stop classifying players who are not on tier 1 teams/scene “bad” . All could have a potential future when u r dedicated and have a good coaching staff.

yeah I agree but there are still big skil gaps between t1 and t2 I mean look at what perc30fishfillet(zekken or some other t1 player like skuba?) just did against some of the best t2 teams like Nearest Airport he dropped 40 kills and made it look too easy

Will 7th ACS
Stellar 8th

I scrolled down for a good couple of minutes and found asuna then bang but no ethan or hiko

I am not saying they are bad but these pickups make sense no more role conflict and better IGL

Ethan will probably get picked up soon he is a talented player but the agent pool clashed with 100T way too much he was just useless

Ethan is talented and stuff but like with the roles he played there is no room

Asuna better on flex
Bang better on smokes
Derrek better on sova
Stellar better IGL and plays chamber to a high level
If wardell gets signed then obviously he is a better chamber

People get far too caught up on big names. Don't get me wrong Ethan is a solid player but people are acting like he's Zywoo of Valorant. The recent success of The Guard is proof that names don't matter so hopefully more teams go that direction instead of recycling the same players.

People tend to evaluate potential rosters based on recent performances and stats. They fail to forget that team can build cohesion and chemistry while at the same time, making them better both individually and as a unit. So often, they tend to forget that just the playstyle of a player being compatible to others is more important than the pure fragging power or a star potential.
And because of what I've stated, I'm so excited to see this exact roster. It would be so dope to see how they match up against the rest.
Guard type of practice and a little team-building vacay could do miracles for this roster.
