how did they swap three but potter is still on the team? this EG roster is baffling. Good luck to them but I'm still really confused as to what this org is trying to do in valorant

From the standpoint of a SEN fan, EG having a mostly new roster makes things a bit easier for their matchup down the line.

Any worry that was there is gone now. SEN does like to get upset in these Challengers tournaments though, you can never put it past them. A fan like me has to be worried somewhat.

I actually like Potter, but I thought she'd go in a broadcast talent direction, especially after being featured on the Reykjavik stream. Aleks and Temperature splitting up is sad, now all the Moon Raccoons are separate. Aleks 100% makes it onto another T2 or even T1 team.

Plus the impact and leadership of an IGL can't just be seen on the scoreboard.
It's not just LOW KILL = BAD PLAYER

1-15= HORRIBLE PLAYER... She consistently plays like shit and EG could definitely sign much better players. They will never win anything with Potter playing although they could add her to the coaching staff. Also I don't think I've ever seen a sage get 0 assists in my life especially since healing someone who gets a kill counts as an assist... An org like EG should not be losing to a team like Noble, especially after their best player just got signed to an org...

I took a look at her past 5 games. Her Sage games have been absolutely god awful. The only time she did "decent", and by decent I mean just barely positive k/d/a was when she played Sova and the her team dominated a no name team.

I wish her the best of luck, but not once has she performed well from her stats. You can be a god tier IGL, but you still need to do good yourself. You don't see Boaster or Shahzam bottom fragging as an IGL, let alone being negative in 80% of the maps played.

If they want to get better and better, being able to compete at a higher level... potter needs to go (1 example: https://www.vlr.gg/15583/time-in-vs-evil-geniuses-nerd-street-gamers-summer-championship-open-1-winners-f). This may sound rude, but she should stick to what she's best at, casting.

I still remember that EG was one of the best organisations when I used to play CS 1.6 professionally (with shaGuar, tr1p; fRoD, n0thing, lurppis). When I heard that they're entering into the Valorant scene, my expectations were quite high, thinking that they will be as glorious as in the good old days, but the results were kinda disappointing.

As they're looking now, there is almost no difference between them and a small org.

I didn't even know they had a team until I saw this thread, so yes, in Valorant they're basically a nobody. Plenty of smaller orgs that are 100x better than them

If they wanna go for representation, there are sooooo many good female players in the scene rn that are either f/a or EG have enough money to poach instead of keeping potter.

Or they could go the other route like other organisations and just make a female roster, that way they can compete in VCT Game changers events as well

Check reverse ACS, potter is second worst (156 acs) but notice zombs is also down there at about 170ish acs and not many people say he's bad at shooting. Another example, Boaster sits at 204 ACS while also being IGL for fnatic. ACS isn't the be all and end all stat, but I think it's fair to say that unless potter improves the rest of the roster will always be feeling kill pressure.

the thing about those other players are that they show up when they need to, they have the skill. they also are very coordinated with their utility and strategies. potter doesnt do any of it, and at the same time has 13 acs

Zombs is consistently praised for his utility timing, site defense and coordination with his team, all against the very best teams in the world. Not seeing any of this from potter, against T2/T3 teams otherwise they would be doing a whole lot better

Potter seems like a nice person, so I don’t want her to get hate, but she really is a weak link in the team. Even if her playbook and IGLing are some of the best out there, she needs to perform better in actual fragging for the team to go anywhere.

If EG are keeping her for representation reasons. Let her take up a coaching role. She might legit be able to shine in that role and do a lot of good for the whole representation goal the team seems to have. Listening to her in the casting role she does know what she’s talking about. EG have to put Potter and the team in a position to succeed. There’s a lot of great minds in sports that would be horrible on the field, but are great coaches.

I do truly hope for a time in the future where all female leagues are a thing of the past, and it’s just normal for teams to be made of both males and females. But this team sadly isn’t it and arguably doing more harm than good.

Potter probably should go to a coach slot or be let go. Her strats and igl skill is actually really good, but her personal performance really drags the team down. I love EG, and I honestly really want to see them find success in Valorant. With Potter as a coach, and a new player, which there are a lot of good free agents that could take her role, they could find success in tier 2 or even maybe tier 1.
