i'm not saying they did it wrong, i'm just saying that there were a lot of better options (in paper) to fill that role
but the payoff was insane, so who am i to say

it is weird but not surpring the lack of tier 1 caliber igls in brazil
lev natank wasn't that weird imo
mostly because of the circumstanses and the nationality of the teams
jamppi was the first international signing in BBL history (which was surprising, considering how large the talent pool of turkiye is)
and the SEN signings were just weird, no one expected Sentinels to sign 2 of the best brazilian players that year. and especially considering the language barriers
he was not worthy of a tier 1 trial back when he was playing in enterprise
it seemed (at least to me) like a clout signing to sale merch and farm views
but he improved ofc.
most of these are not in strict order, i'm surely forgetting sum
mine is:
Nikita "Derke" Sirmitev (Vitality)
Nikita "Trexx" Cherednichenko (Vitality)
Nikita "d3ffo" Sudakov (SweetNSour)
Nikita "HeavyGod" Martynenko (G2 Esports)
Malkolm "bonkar" Rench (NRG)
HC: Nikita "anf" Kostin (Zero Tenacity)
you can't rn, cus the qualifiers were not meant to be streamed anyway
you'll be able to watch it normally once the main event starts
i think that title belongs to gorilla
he was the best player at fnatic, sure, but he was still adapting, it's expected for him to not perform at max level
but agree to disagree
recency bias post
kaajak wasn't that great in kick off, and derke was arguably the best duelist in emea during kick off
kaajak is better for fnatic simply because of his flexibility
his neon is way better, and fnatic are not forced to have a duelist every map (you see that in their icebox comp)
kaajak had a slow start, but not only he perfected his yoru after kick off, he's now playing a lot better individually aswell
i mean people calmed down a bit when they signed kaajak, but the main narrative was that fnc made a mistake for dropping derke
and this narrative inflated when vit won against fnc in kick off
idk i've seen a lot of people in chats and streams doubt fnc for these reasons
i've even seen people call chronicle washed as well, which is... (but i didn't include it , cus it was not a popular flame)
you'd be surprised
a LOT of people doubted crashies because he had a rough year w nrg in 2024
people flamed fnc for dropping derke and signing kaajak
and i've seen some fans and haters doubt milan bc he was never a head coach and trying to sign d00mbros as an AC
yes, he's been working on his mechanics since the end of 2023 i understand
but i thought boaster was the igl with the worst firepower in the world??
but i thought crashies was washed??
but i thought fnatic was trolling by signing kaajak??
but i thought that we didn't have a "real" coaching staff??
but they told me minip00 was the best duelist in the world?😂
TEAM FREERETICS🥶 TEAM FREERETICS🥶 TEAM FREERETICS🥶 TEAM FREERETICS🥶
baseless accusation
he was just as good in LAN
he only shit the bed in his EG tryouts
this guy is "the best duelist itw"?
ADSGOIUNBUBIOSDGBIO kaajak diffs this choker every day of the year
can't be since he won kick-off
good call on vo0kashu
cryo doesn't count here tho, he won stage 1 with 100t in 2024
both g2 and prx have won regional tournaments, twice
prx won 2 apac tournaments
i'm counting regional tournaments (amer, emea, apac, cn) as tier 1
good bait? in vlr? i need to call my family
nah, youtube is DIFFERENT
you will see people asking to bench players because they didn't win a 50/50 duel or don't clutch a 5v1
at least twitch chat flames more obvious/reasonable mistakes
every region looks weak this year...
there's only 2 really insane teams i'd say (heretics and g2)
xlg and blg look good, but idk how good they would do in the internationals
geng looks good enough, they could upset the better teams. prx is a wildcard rn, they could be insane, but they barely qualified to toronto
sen and mibr look great, but sen is inconsistent and their form depends on their momentum
fnc is great, they will beat other top 2s, and maybe top 1s, but i don't see them winning the event. and the third spot for emea will get eliminated in groups
bbl needs lar0k and loita in case profek underperforms in stage 2
bbl is really promising already
a real igl and head coach and they might go far
i don't think that goked wants to sign him
especially after what happened with koi
