She’s already in the second best roster, doesn’t get much better than that

I actually think it's good. they've clearly shown they have great scouting and they've gotten some money

Teams have higher ceilings than others tho. It's not that simple

brother his team just won. You might not think he's not good but he isn't gonna destroy a team

Hell no, I'd much rather have Soulcas than the ex Acend players. Also Soulcas is not 35

That's not what I'm implying. I'm saying if several teams agree on the same thing it likely means Tomaszy isn't excelling on praccs. Which doesn't mean he isn't the best option but it at least means you can't ask the teams to see the fucking future

They've tried out a bunch of random players. I don't think any ranked ones but I wouldn't either. Out of all of the recycled players Soulcas/Sheydos have some of the highest ceilings. It's not a starxo/Shadow at least

Wait I thought he renew but no, he might be getting a slight bag. But it's not like he's trapped or something, I'm not sure he would be in VCT if it weren't on KOI

Yeah I agree

I mean stat wise there really isn't anyone better. But yeah I agree, but I'm saying he is the choice after they've missed on a thousand other tier 2 prospects so it's more like a patch tbh

It did. But if you go back and look at the rankings at the start of the season they were a unanimous top 4 by people's opinions. The roster was good, it wasn't supposed to crash like that sometimes it's unlucky

I think if all teams agree there are better options as duelist is for a reason tho

80% of the league wanted Koldamenta brother

I'm not trying to be racist about a racist claim but he's polish if you know what I mean. That's kinda how it is you gotta embrace it

that sounds about right

I think soulcas is at least better than starxo, Flyuh is better than Shadow and Sheydos on flex is a big upgrade in itself

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying you might need to rephrase. But the complaints about the past management are very much legit

And he is the owner so he doesn't really make the roster, but they've very much tried to go for the good players and top tier 2 prospects they just haven't been able to get any

I don't think Tomaszy is getting picked up on duelist

I'd be more than happy with a top 8 xD

Yeah that's a bug problem they've found. Minny for example chose M8 over them although KOI offered him more money. And M8 didn't even have a project to like more yet he was their first player

Not to mention M8 has to fight for ascension

Flyuh is one of the things I do believe in

He isn't getting any bag bro xD

I'm still not sure that's a rule

The duelist is gonna be Kamo/Filu or someone of that profile so the roster is

Kamo/Filu/someone else duelist
Sheydos Flex
Soulcas Initiator
Grubinho smokes
Flyuh sentinel IGL

Look bro I've supported the team forever but this ain't it. I will still watch all their games hoping they win but never actually expecting them to. I suppose that's the same as last season xD but it's still disappointing because this year there weren't any management/money excuses

That being said I suppose the roster is slightly better than last year because overall all the positions seem slightly improved other than kamo/grubi but still not nearly enough for how good the league has gotten

No tournament starting Tuesday as far as I know, I doubt they announce unless it's a lame ass picture or something

VCT Transfer Window. The VCT 2025 transfer window will open for all teams in each League on October 7, 2024 at 9:00 am local time in the League’s Hub City (“Transfer Window Start”). The window will close for all teams in each League one week prior to the start of that League’s Stage 2 Playoffs, at 5:00 pm local time in the League’s Hub City (“Transfer Window Close”).

The term “VCT Transfer Window” means, for each team, the period of time between the Transfer Window Start and the applicable Transfer Window Close. For example, if a League’s Stage 2 Playoffs begin on July 8, 2025, the VCT Transfer Window for the teams in that League will close on July 1, 2025, at 5:00 pm local time.

It's not a deadline brother, teams are gonna announce whenever they're ready and whenever it's a standard time in their country. But most likely we will see very little/none announcements tomorrow. Y'all are way too excited for it

That's the thing tho, they already had an initiator and controller. They needed a duelist and a sentinel. I suppose this means flyuh will be the sentinel, but I don't like a sentinel with low firepower and I think it's harder to IGL on sentinel

Eh yeah it's not that bad for Apeks but they already had the chemistry and the roster worked for them

Random ass pick up, and you've already seen what player he is, he can improve but idk man it just isn't it
It also forces you to move around the roles just so you can fit him in

Yeah that's probably why to maintain the little fanbase Excel had but the main offices of the team are still in Spain, and 95% of their fanbase is Spanish. Spanish content creators etc.

I think the old owners CEO of both orgs are co-owners/co-ceo's but yeah, the org is essentially Spanish there isn't much remaining from Excel

It fucks Apeks and it ain't even good for KOI

Ah hell noooo

Brother they are not based in the UK. They are a historical Spanish organization based in Malaga

Can't really have all of them bait tho can they. I don't think that is technically possible

it ain't real

The only region who had their top 2 do better than EMEA last Champs was Americas so if EMEA is a one team region everyone is

Flying out 5 people is harder than 1 but yeah. If they really want they can I don't think they're in a rush to tho

That's lame af and I very much doubt it

You mean the 700 stack smolder loss? What did you expect, the summer finals loss was even worse xD
They trolled the draft today tho

Not if the rosters were closed 1 or 2 weeks ago. It also depends how all out you wanna go

Yes but you need to fly all the players out record and edit a video that usually takes a couple weeks

I actually doubt we see any announcements at all. Teams usually make reveal videos and that takes a while. Teams haven't been closed for long enough

tactical throw don't worry

Yes we can

they kinda uses most of that on kaajak

Destrian deffo insider Hiber zeddy

And I think the subs are Famsii and I forgot the other 2

Fair enough. I don’t even know how they’re allowed to compete with that roster ngl

Is Novo Esports the same as HGE?
