So many good options and you end up with a 2021 roster without an IGL, sounds great to me

No, he was not at the top of the Surge and 3 of his teammates have better stats. But yes I'm not saying he is not a good choice because, as you say he improves fast and his celling is the sky, just not the player who is gonna give you the best immediate performance available

No I wouldn't kick any of the other 4 guys, seems like a great core to me. If it isn't benkai I do see a Kristal/Vici move being a great choice

None of them were true 6th man. True 6th man would be if they actually sub in a player or another depending on the map with a true tactical purpose. Both Marved and something were just better players, it wasn't a true rotation because of agent pool. Only teams that actually did that through out the season were some Pacific teams like RRQ

Yeah that's what I'm saying, he would be replacing nephh. The only agent nephh plays that Benkai doesn't is Kayo and that is easy to figure out. I just feel like Benkai's experience is what a team coming into franchising needs and he is a really good IGL with a very decent firepower (He doesn't necessarily have to IGL, crazyguy is great, but can't deny it would be great help)

Isn't Crazyguy the initiator

Bleed Benkai please

So is Marved by that logic. What’s the difference between Marved situation and something’s situation. Illuminate me

It's a whole different circumstance tho. In one you bring him in because you have no other choice and in the other one because you think you will do better with him. One is a 6th man the other more of a sub

But anyway if you wanna count it the answer is something, not marved

Well the SEN move wasn't really a 6th man thing, like you get guys like Zeish, Txozin, Kamyk, Weber, CGRS, who had to step in because the main guy couldn't play. Marved thing was more just a bench to dephh in order to bring Marved in, it was a different circumstance. Kinda like something

So if we're counting that then it's gotta be something, if we're not, it's gotta be CGRS

You can't save someone that doesn't wanna be saved, can you?

Yeah that's what I mean, like it's not like both cases are the same and they gave different treatments, but it's just not something exact and fair. They need to change it

Benjy is not a top tier 2 player, he has been a middle board guy on a play in team

Alright fair, mb. Rest still stands tho

Pick a guy that can help you now, give him a short contract and if you don't succeed you sign Benjy in the summer instead

Could only do FA players tho, but yes, he would have

xDDD

No, Sen and Furia signed a 6th mid season and then used it which is a signing and exactly the same case as here.

Again, it probably should but it's something subjective which is why I don't like it, but you can make a case how having a player injured or a player step out on free will is not the same

Fair Ig, just kinda looks like giving up the current season

Hold on there, TH is not the only team who has used the Emergency clause. SEN has used it, Furia has used it and I think someone else.
Problem here is Newzera stepped out himself which is not a reason for Riot to allow a signing.

I think deciding what's enough of a reason what's not it's too subjective, the problem is not having a second market through the year

Nope

I agree it's not fair

The official reason is because they lost their players for different reasons, 1 was reason enough to use the emergency clause and the other one wasn't. But I agree it's not really fair, I think they need to add a market before LCQ for everyone

Yes

Not really, it's a pick for the future. I just don't know if a move for the future is what you do before LCQ

Is it tho, not too sold on it

Totally, he would have to decide, but I think it would be a very exciting project for him. And talking about Bleed, Benkai could give you the experience you need to kick off in the league, he can hold himself very well with the firepower, help crazyguy who it's also a great framer with his calling. Also same roles as nephh, idk, it just seems like the move to me.

Serious question, to what point is Benkai an option for Bleed

Oh yeah not saying you hate him, just like that's not the bait part, the ssk part is

TDLR: Hate Fitniho, no problem with that, but ssk might be the worst duelist in the Turkish league and FWC knows it he is just baiting xD

Doesn’t work like that. Also Rogue is in charge of making the team not KOI

You fell for FWC bait didn’t you

Starxo needs to go imo

No it’s not

We’ll be fine as long as FNC doesn’t split up xD

Yeah, but just saying, when they have to replace someone, who's SAW gonna bring in? Yk what I mean? Does kind of situations are the ones that lead you to players like Newzera in franchising

Guess Acend works too

Problem with Saw or M8 is that I feel like they will only pick up Portuguese or French and that's not good for the talent pool either

Exactly the reason why I don't want Apeks to ascend, just wanna see new talent in franchising

New guys are also risky tho, look at Wolfen. But it's definitely better than what they did

Well they can pull the money when they have to. Spent like 250k on this roster

I think they need to restart from 0 tbh xD

Arnau is the sports director, we'll go and explain him how it's done

Facts

Lowel hasn’t IGLed since the First Strike. Unfake on the other hand is a great IGL, so just gotta switch that

We don’t give a fuck if it’s 4 Russians or 2 Russians a Polish and a Bulgarian. Spain doesn’t have the talent, so we might as well get the better possible roster

And would #19 not be better than what we currently have?

I wouldn't be so pessimist about it

Yeah no easy solution there either. All I can think of is 2 conferences like the MENA league

crazy guy will stay for sure too

I don't think you can blame what's happening on Rito tho xD

They do need to do something asap

Hell no. If you had a CIS league, would you want a team with 5 Brits in it?

Not having a CIS league is unfair to CIS
Doing what you say it's unfair to the rest of the regions
