No he’s very solid on a Jett/chamber/kayo role
Purpo can still play the Raze and the Neon
Flex, that’s his best role and the when he was shining in when he got picked up
His tier 1 debut

There’s not gonna be many teams with higher callings than GX tbh
But yes I doubt it’s Kaajak
It’s a solid option. My personal choice is Ardiis Ruxic
No, they have been trying out duelists not flexes. They need a Duelist and a smoker
No I actually think he speaks some spanish. At least I've spoken to him in Spanish on a twitch chat, idk if we're counting that kekw
Saadhack flex IGL
Keznit duelist
Nzr Ini
Shy duelist
Melser smokes
That is because he has not been the one to run it xD
Dude has no clue about esports nor the time that it takes to run KRU. I'm not saying he might not be on some meetings or have a saying in major company decisions like idk, the VISA thing. But definitely not in who they hire and every other decision necessary
Okay here it is https://x.com/flyoum
I need to correct myself, Kun does have the CEO title, the person linked is the general manager. But my original point stands, Kun is not who runs the company, he's far to busy for that, and honestly, just not qualified or capable of it
Saw his twitter the other day let me look it up
It's not the same tho. Owner and CEO are 2 completely different things, sometimes it's the same person, but most of the time the owner pays and the CEO actually runs the company. Kun is not making any actual decisions cause that would be dumb af
Nah man, ardiis had a rough split but he's been a top Jett in EMEA for a long long time. I'd be very surprised if any of those guys were actually better than ardiis right away, for example I'd argue none of the rookie duelists last year were. And purp0 can still play the Raze/Neon, I like the idea of mixing it up
He didn't specify, he replied to someone saying VIT was the main option saying they were actually the 3rd
Actually, anonimotum said the other day VIT is the 3rd most likely option rn and that it could be, they're pushing
If he actually IGL's well I do kinda like it. If your team has an IGL that can pop off like Cloud can your celling is the sky
Yes, GX confirmed Purp0 is staying in the Cloud anouncement
They need a duelist and a smoker. Imo I would go all in on Ardiis and smoker you got more options, ideally Ruxic but I doubt it
He baited a little bit yesterday but it was kinda obvious. He is the heart and soul of GX, as long as he’s there they will always have good potential rosters
Also confirmed that he will be the IGL and that Purp0 stays
Yeah, and I think they’re cooking great things. They’ve got some massive signings on the way apparently
Yeah I think they know what they get with Pipson and they’re comfortable, it’s nothing crazy but it’s good emough

Renewed his contract, I believe there's more announcements today. If I had to guess it would be Cloud's renewal too, which is very important. Maybe Westside
Huh?
No, we're talking tier 2 here, all tier 1 teams have only 1 import. And I don't think it's the case for any ascension teams this year but 2 actual imports are pretty common in APAC tier 2 specially in JP(not so much anymore) and India
you're right EMEA supremacy clearly
If you assume that's what he meant, which it wasn't, then the original message of the thread doesn't make sense. But yes Ig you can see it that way
Well not necessarily, let’s take as an example last years Apeks duelist Keiko
It’s looking like TL will keep him one more year, but if he was on Apeks and they had descended this year, would another team be giving him a second chance? Maybe, maybe not, idk, but it’s definitely a riskier path
1 Never fucking mind I'm blind
2 Money, better project, stability
This is only a problem in China or very specific teams in APAC. But yes, they have to kick 1
I still wouldn't, as you said Trexx might be slightly better individually but it still does not compensate for everything else, in my opinion. And hence why I was making the argument on why I think people around the scene rate Cloud so highly
Couple things here. Everything I have said here is purely a player comparison on who in my opinion is the better player. It has nothing to do with Vitality as I'm assuming #8 to be true with like a 95% chance. Obviously the fact that I think Cloud is better does not imply I wouldn't rather have both if I could
Jawgemo has a lower FKPR rate than Aspas. And sure, it's different styles, I'm just saying both are viable
And yeah, he kills them all sometimes, and others he just gets killed, he is no superman
He is not a normal duelist. I don't see the issue in not sending the best player in the world to enter a site like a human drone and instead sending someone else even if it doesn't make sense role wise.
I think that does inflate stats but it has a purpose, maintaining the best player in the server alive the longest possible
Oh no no, that's not what I meant, just arguing who is the better player. What's gonna happen with the rosters is completely different. #8
And no, no Russian roster for GiantX because they already signed Westside who is Polish
No, I ask myself a better question, which player am I building my team around? Center, Trexx, or Cloud, and it is 1000% Cloud
It's not about IGLing 2 games, is about being able to IGL which means you bring a lot of things to the table that Trexx just doesn't
And no I'm not analyst, neither is anyone here so we might aswell not have opinions. But btw, GX rejected an offer from FNC for Cloud, while Trexx was let go by KOI. I think analysts would agree with me
Idk what games you were watching but he was not the second best player in 2024
That is because you do not see that Trexx hasn't spoken since 1972 and that Cloud is an IGL now. The average fan doesn't see that without digging a little bit, hence why I said pro's would rather play with Cloud
Yes it does, it means you're a competent org, not one that got lucky with their signings once. And most orgs would sign rn, attending champs every year even if they never win it
That’s still not bombing out, and It’s simply not true. Being top 4 of your region every single year it’s hard af. Think about it this way, literally out of all the Americas teams that went to Champs last year, KRU is the only one who managed to do it again this year, let alone 4 years in a row
