OXY rookie of the year

this team looks spicy

pick up poised and babybay or poised and dicey.

put vic on perma senti and poised on flex.
babybay and dicey are both great duelist players who can op so either one of them can be great.

poised

poised and mitch still exist

poised and mitch both flexible and can igl

he's playing apex with roza and shanks rn lol

thats possible too

list of possible teams Yay could join:
(What we know: this roster move is funny)
Americas:
EG (replacement for demon1?)
C9 (this one would make the most sense as it's funny and possible but wippie is more likely to join C9)
LOUD ( replacement for aspas?)

Pacific:
GE
Bleed
EMEA:
??

c9 yay as senti

he obv plays a part. most 6th men help with the coaching stuff.

somehow c9 and eg are going to come out on top again 😂

i been saying SR flyuh

according to george geddes, immi is C9 new coach. thoughts?

Yet s0m got replaced ...

Soulcas> mistic at that point

fr and on top of that, this team would've continued to place which would bring more revenue.

victor can play senti with saadhak playing the flex role

orgs like C9 and EG are so comfortable with getting worse players and lowering salaries because they know regardless of how they place, they will still be in the league.
riot needs to do something about this.

its not just boostio

WOW

what made riot choose these orgs?

Yh cause franchising def represents the best teams and players right? I would argue M80 and TGRD in 2023 were better than SEN, 100T, and other Americas teams. And to make things worse, we got teams like C9 trying to make budget rosters making the number of spots for top players even less.

When does Ascension start for 2024?

yh but esport orgs don't make that much to justify 6 digit salaries for every player. i think 60k-80k makes sense for the avg t1 pro and thats without the tournament earnings.

nrg?

if we all put our biases aside, this is truth🤷‍♂️
Fns and s0m are great but vic and crashies are the obvious choice here for NRG.

i don't understand why people underrate crashies and victor? i get that they probably can't be relied to be the best players on their team but they bring a lot to a team.
They have good chem together, they both (especially vic) can play a lot of different agents, they're really consistent, and are very vocal.

Crashies and Victor. Forever underrated
They just want to reunite with marved

flyuh the goat

he just wasn't comfortable on the senti role. he's more of a entry/op player.

jett/chamber op. can also play raze. i think his kj wasn't as good but def has potential if he gets the right help.

pick up Dicey, he's on the same level as demon1 and yay, just unproven on the main stage yet but with the nrg core, he's going nuclear.

babybay and dicey both underrated. dicey op is too clean

he igled rise and faze to actual contenders beside 2023. aside from igling, he is proven on multiple roles and has insane fragging potential.
i would choose poised over runi or stellar.

another wasted talent is thwifo sitting on 100T bench

i feel like he plays so much better on smokes than initiator. maybe get him off that role and try him on another role.

this is entirely the guards fault. but the way riot went about this is completely screwing over the players on the guard and creates a lot of questions for the future of T2 val. why can't riot fund the players as a f/a team or let other orgs help fund the players. how is this seen as the guard selling their spot when the guard doesn't make any money from this if all the players are f/as.
at the very least, they should move M80 up to ascension. i don't know why leo says that it would be wrong to move M80 up when riot did qualify teams before when the qualifying team couldn't make it. (liquid replacing fpx due to fpx not being able to attend iceland 2022)

did you see eg's merch? eg's merch makes marved's merch look so much better.

poised is the most underrated player in NA. he can play multiple different roles and is an really good igl.

bro is getting mad over shitposts 💀

prime tenz was 1 tournament. prime yay was a whole year

the whole m80 roster is unrestricted f/a. the only reason i would see them not make changes is if the current roster is on a lengthy contract.

N4rrate is really being overlooked. he has potential so i don't think its a bad move to at least pick him up as a 6th man and try him out in scrims.

is faze staying in val or no?

when does ascension start? this september or same schedule as last year?

any new scrims/ trails today?

congrats and goodbye 🐣

champs was great but i hate franchising so much 😭

depending on the contracts, i could see them running it back with the same team.
