Nade bro, you missed out on tenz, cryo/zander, and cned. Don’t pass up on daddyS. Some ungodly naysayers may complain he is “untested,” but give him a few months and he will be a monster. If Will doesn’t show up as an awper/jett. 100T Kenny, u feel?
not that i agree with their philosophy. ironic, too, considering 100T wanted an awper who’s better than asuna. i don’t think will is that guy, although he will be a decent entry player. ultimately they whiffed on the best NA awper available, and i think they’ll regret it.
i think V1, on the other hand, will do great. Shit, I could even see Wardell picking up KJ and Sage on a couple maps if they absolutely need it (to mirror Wippie exactly). He’s awped on Sage before, although with less impact, and I’m sure he’s eager to prove that he can awp on KJ just like mitch, steel, and nivera.
This is his first team since peak 2020 Drone/Subroza that has players similar to him in skill. He wouldn’t have to carry every match, just focus on doing his job. I’m very interested to watch him in this Open Qual, assuming Wippie doesn’t get back first. And I want absolutely nothing bad for Wippie, but it would be cool to see Wardell stick with V1 if they perform well.
yeah, he’s 26, which is stereotypically old in CS. then again, Cadian and Device are also 26 iirc, and older players have maintained their skill awping before.
for kennyS, it actually comes down to being washed, which isn’t solely dependent on age. personally i think his quick flick play style isn’t as sustainable with age as careful smart awping, but idk.
