mini was asked about the timeouts on yesterday's interview and the guy goes. "Boaster gives the calls on the timeouts"

Well cauanzin kinda whiffed, Ardiis was just perfect

The mollyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

thank god is gone

Wtf did Less do against FNC. I could do the same with Alfajer

And what context is there to say Less is better than Alfajer? Alfajer has the highest rating at Tokyo AND at champs. And no, Less did not diff him

So was kiles last year

Bro going crazy after 1 map

If this is a diff I'm an astronaut

Btw I have had 3 page threads arguing why Less is far better and more important than aspas. But no, he is not better than current Alfajer

Alfajer is the reigning MVP

Link those 2 times

Alfajer has the highest rating in Champs and Masters, and no

How do you ask this question after a clutch what do you think the answer is gonna be xD

Wtf are you talking about nobody never said "Ardiis is in NRG so we'll treat him like we treat all the other NA players"
We actually said "LOOOL NA so bad they complain about few slots and the import LMAO so bad"

If you see the comms from the game vs EDG in between maps before the Fracture the PRX CEO goes, no balls 5 drop on pistol. Guess what happens after

nt man

Well they probably cut off most of the parts where boaster is talking but derke just won't stfu in a good way. He doesn't seem like he calls Strats but he keeps telling exactly where everyone is give key enemy info over and over again even when dead. And also he is the one to bring the mood up in the team, but I'm not just talking about that part, it's everything else

Ofc there is a story behind those numbers, but the difference is not like you put it

NRG's run at Tokyo is the most impressive one out of the 6 for sure, and the NAVI one at Tokyo the less impressive one.
Aside from that, NAVI does better at Lock in even if it's a lower caliber tournament. But let's be real, at the most important tournament NAVI's run has been far more impressive than NRG's.

That is just justifying the unjustifiable. Both teams have been trash and definitely hit their celling

If they were playing playoffs rn my take would be exactly the same one as it is. The roster has hit their peak, once that happens there only is one direction to go and it is backwards. The players need a fresh start from 0

Yeah you're right cause some teams went straight to playoffs, still, does not change the point

Said the guy without an NRG flair?

As I said, once you have been on the top your goal should be to up there again. They have placed 5th-8th, 4th, 9th-12th. Which would be a perfectly fine for any other team, but not for them. They managed to win with a duelist like prime yay, they are not gonna find another prime yay anytime soon, so their celling is just not what they used to be, they can0t find the same success they did in the past. They can only go backwards.

Same applies to NAVI, actually if you look a pure results:
NRG has placed 5th-8th, 4th, 9th-12th
NAVI has placed 3rd-4th, 7th-8th, 9th-12th

Do not fool yourself, NRG's year is exactly as disappointing as NAVI's, literally the same

MrFalin is a blessing for the Turkish scene and Ata Kaptan is superteam material imo, one of the best controllers we have in EMEA in general, more valuable than qw1 and the rest of FUT imo

I think the time has come for both the NAVI and the NRG core.

Think about it this way, once you have been the best team on the world, anything that is not doing it again feels like a failure to your fans. In the case of NRG, they were the best team in the world with all their players in their prime and having the best duelist in the world which I don't think are gonna find again. And for NAVI it's the same, they have reached a point where small changes don't make a difference imo

Only hearing FNC comms is when you actually realize his value. A player probably values derke's job the most

Oh don't get me wrong I would 100% bench ardiis, he is a liability imo.

And yes Victor duelist would be better because it wouldn't force you to play Jett, but no, on those maps where you do wanna play Jett, I don't think Victor is better, minimum not significantly better. Ardiis has top 4 stats on Jett this event, his Jett is not the issue

I never said he is bad, I said he is not good enough to be NRG's duelist. #17 last paragraph is the best explanation I can give

Alright if that is your actual ranking then yes Victor Duelist is your move. I rank Victor below both Leaf and Keznit. Which means imo he is not a top 5 Jett in his region, therefore not "good enough" for a team whose goal should be to win champs. I don't think we're gonna agree on how to rank those 5 players, but I hope at least you get my point a bit more now

OPTC was able to win an event with the best duelist in the world on their team, and I believe that core can't do it again unless they have something like that again. And that is way passed Victors celling imo

No no, why do they sign a Jett then is my question if they already have a good enough one. It's easier to find someone on any of the other roles Victor plays

Why do you think he has not been given that chance then? He has only played 2 maps of Jett this year my friend.

The only reason Victor wasn’t on jett was that ardiis isn’t good enough on other agents

See that's where we disagree. I see it the other way around. The only reason why they signed ardiis is because they knew Victor wasn't a good enough Jett, and the team knew
Bro Victor has played 11 Jett maps on his life, 2 this year, yeah he did well on those 2 maps this year, and I think you're just remembering those 2 maps instead of the whole picture.

Alright bro, let's do something, forget everything else we disagree on, rank me all of Americas Jett's, or at least the top 5 of them, see where we place Victor

1 Not good enough ≠ not good, we're talking about a team that wants to win it all. Is he a better Jett than Demon1 or Aspas?
2 No, he is not a better Jett than ardiis, but he is a better everything else

Just what I remember from watching him play it last year on the very few maps he did. And I just don't think he has the firepower other world class Jett's do which is key imo. I'm not saying he is not good, I'm saying NRG should be aiming to win it all, and I just don't think you can win it all with victor as your Jett

Good raze
Prob good Neon
Not good enough Jett

Fair

What was his peak then

He is the best he has ever been which means he is in his prime. Could have also said cned wasn't on his prime at the start of Acend and it turned out he was. If he becomes better then great but as of now he is on his prime.

Anyway that wasn't my point. My point is Current Alfajer > Prime cNed

Prime Alfajer is already better than prime cned imo

Low key I wanna see Scarz and to what point they are worse than Zeta. Last year it was Manchester so we had a couple Polaris teams to we might get the same this time

FUT is the ever first Turkish team to put up a solid strategical game. MrFalin is the first step to succeed but there’s a lot of work to be done

Idk if FA but benched, Vitality has announced they won't be counting with him for next year. No announcement for the other 3 as far as I know

Bonecold was benched and no one wanted him, that's not a coincidence, same with zeek. And this year they both have gotten a second chance and have been benched again. the roster was done imo

Third is probably something like Sweden and then Finland, Lithuania, UK or maybe Poland. I'd say those are equal or above Spain and France

Fuck yeah thank god

Jing is allowed to be a otp Raze because he is extremely good at it but there us no one who can replace him and justify playing like he does. Something plays raze, sign someone on another role

I think no one can replace Jingg, and that is why you do not try to replace him. It's time to not be forced to play double duelist on all maps. You can tell sometimes they don't want to, like in Fracture so they are forced to do other stuff.

I would sign someone on another role, if he can play raze great but if not just let something do it and on the maps you want double duelist you still have forsaken

Jemkin and Kristal cracked
Bisk is a beast

All 3 better than wippie purpo and deffo

Chronicle
Derke
Nats
Suygetsu
Shao
Something
Demon1
Cloud
Trexx
Sheydos
Jemkin
Bisk
Deffo
Purpo
Wippie

Unrated: Vici because haven’t played in too long (but prob between Jemkin and bisk), and the 2 IGL’s because can’t judge without comms and the value of IGL’s depends a lot on the team/region etc. Hard to replace role

HM: Vokashu, this guy was not picked up fro franchising last year because of his high release clause but dude is cracked af, even if he has had a rough year

Nope, not saying people won't leave, but deep down the game is the same game. Way bigger than OW2 but the same dynamic
