wrong team bro

Yes but Elite really wants to play with Ruxic apparently so you might need to sign 1 in order to get the other

Yes. KOI split up with Rogue (old partner) and about a year ago merged with MAD Lions and Movistar Riders. Rogue was a disaster but MAD and MRS are extremely successful and well run organizations all working together now

For example, extremely successful in COD OW TFT with Toronto Ultra(MAD), made Worlds in LOL with MADKoi and made the last Major in CS. They're all KOI now, they just couldn't unify the name in time for the season. last year

And in Valorant, that merger caught them in the middle of last off season and they literally couldn't sign anyone because they didn't even know if them or Rogue was gonna keep the spot/who had to pay for stuff etc. But now everything is back to normal

Ibai talked about it for an hour and a half on stream and Adam said the https://x.com/Grazen/status/1837838942650949651

Since the merger very much yes

Elite is individually the best player on that roster

But Ruxic and Elite is just speculation

Avez is the initiator not the sentinel I believe. And I think it will look like this

Marteen
Avez
Saadhack
Ruxic
Elite

Imagine having your region carried by imports lmao kekw

I think they were part of Turkey, they just changed it after the whole incident

eh, I mean you can't have both stay or tier 2 loses meaning. It's a complicated situation there

That's not how it works unfortunately. CIS not being a league doesn't mean the countries stop being EMEA. Mongolia for example was part of the Turkish league until a couple months ago when the Mongolz thing happened. Kazhakstan is indeed EMEA as far as I know

there is

whoever places higher stays. Not sure if the other goes to ascension or relegated. Same applies to both making playoffs

Sort of and only for the ascended teams G2/2G

If they make champs they retain their spot, if they make playoffs they get to play in Ascension and if they don't make playoffs they are automatically relegated

Well if we're being totally fair. Kingg or tex can play the Raze, Demon1 can stick to Jett and smokes

Nothing that we didn't know about, a lot of ranting about Spain KOI and Minny, some try outs and stuff. Only thing interesting so far has been this

I'm pretty sure aspas will stay

Yeah same here but he seems to love Lime, guess he's left a better impression in Dach

I agree, I think 3 is the perfect amount. This year for example would be the last chance for MIBR

I think adaptation wouldn’t be too hard but yeah he would need some work

Exactly why this time, unlike in LOL, Riot kept for themselves a way of kicking out MIBR. Unfortunately it takes time to get properly stablished, and patience is not really a common quality around here xD

The thing I do agree with is probably 4 years is a bit too long

Yes but you talk seem to neglect why that is the case

Imagine we had relegation last year. KC and TH would be on tier 2 and we would instead have Apeks or Acend with mid ass rosters and the total amount of 15 fans (the players and their families). The level of a team fluctuates, specially when you give them stability and freedom that allows TH to do a risky project like they have this year

A KC vs KOI will always be a banger no matter how bad those teams are, an Apeks vs Acend, won't

kaajak

They've tried out sentinels, so that's definitely a possibility in their minds

Everyone but the 2 turks is because it's the smart think to do if you want to win

It's what happens when the level of talent does not match the amount of fanbase. Regardless, EMEA needs international rosters not caged on certain nationalities

Not gonna watch it all but I'll see if they say anything interesting

Enough to make 2 owners publicly speak about it

Fair enough. I really hope they can find prime sheydos back

TH did have like the best tier 2 prospects possible tho. Last year only TH and KC were actually looking into tier 2 prospects seriously, this year it feels like everyone is

They need a year of not completely sucking before aiming any higher tbh
Someone choosing an ascension team for less money is a crazy awakening for them I suppose

Barbar is talking about the new offices and ownership, or at least that is how I understand his words

The first team was a great project that didn't work. Sometimes it happens, you bet on the wrong players. But how is that destroying their career? If anything, those players are who let KOI down and put them in this situation to begin with

And the second was dogshit because of an entirely different reason

How did KOI destroy Kolda's career? They gave total freedom and budget to build a roster, they did not perform and then he got benched? I'd argue it's the other way around

Have you read the tweet tho? It's a new ownership trying to dissociate themselves from previous mistakes, which clearly isn't working

Alright sure, answer the question tho. Tf did KOI do?

Tf you mean they finished their careers. They told starxo and Koldamenta to suck or what?

Exactly. My point being, Apeks is gonna go last xD

No you misunderstand me. Let me out it differently, imagine Apeks had lost that 5th map and players were FA. What would you think if KOI signed hype Avova and soulcas. Wouldn't you think wtf are they doing they're gonna place last?

Brother, having been seen on scrims does not mean they want to sign those players

Also that screenshot is fake

If I told you tomorrow, KOI is signing Avova hype and soulcas what would you tell me

They do, but not as much as what FNC can offer

We'd be dumb not to. Apeks is gonna be a bottom feeder, FNC isn't, FNC pays more and Apeks has always the risk of being demoted

Spanish coach diff

I suppose they don't have as much info on APAC

They meant it as if they believe M8 has better options. Which I guess also means everyone else does too

Me personally I think he's gonna need a year in tier 2 before someone gives him a chance aswell

grande Onur

Ty guys, appreciate it

I need a striker
