Yeah I really like Engh’s style of scouting and he has proven to be outstanding. I think they will be able to sign 1 or 2 more renowned players tho, Elite maybe, or around that style

I would on any team, KOI is just the only team that gives this type of information. What other team is openly talking about their market, when they make an offer, when they have tryouts, when and how they have signed a coach, etc. it's just good content
He has 1 outstanding event and 2 above average. You can think what you want about him but saying he doesn't deserve tier 1 is outrageous and straight up baiting
SergioFerra on stream rn and Anonimotum corroborating in chat
About yesterday, they have sent an offer to another team for a top player that they already tried to sign last year. The player has other offers from better teams but KOI seems like favorites rn. The player is not Sayf, Alive or Fitinho
About the rest of the roster. 3 players are 100% confirmed. Grubinho Sheydos and one of Minny/flyuh, but the other one will probably also be closed soon (that last part is my opinion only). Which means the player they are trying to sign is probably a duelist
Also unrelated but Anonimotum said a couple interesting things
1 Market is crazy rn everyone is bidding for the same couple players
2 Avez was KC’s favorite option since the begging, he thinks KC will be able to sign their preferred option on every position
The 2 Ascension teams being G2 and 2G will never not be funny
Yk there's a saying, it's better to jump than to get pushed. Just admit it's over and shave it off, bro needs to let it go
I really wouldn't mind it tbh, but we need someone else to play the Neon and the Raze xD
I want GX Ardiis tho
Yeah I suppose Ardiis would kinda fit, but Scream was available and didn't get picked up so if they tried they would have gotten him
It's against NAVI I believe, but kinda guessing here
Couple different spanish sources, they check each other out. The NRG and VIT being the favorites is for sure, the rest is more speculative
How do you lose 2 ascensions in a row to G2 and 2G
Yes, but also that they tried to sign him last year and I don't think it was the case for neither, but idfk atp
Well in the same 10mans I heard his comms I also saw Magnum's and I was very positively impressed, he didn't feel like just a stratcaller, but I can believe he ran out of ideas at some point. Having a second caller is very important and almost every team does, if they didn't last year that could have bee the issue.
Idk I'm just fucking yapping we'll see, I like the signing
Not all games but some, I do keep up with it

We won't really know the roles until they play, Engh loves flexible players
yeah that's what I thought, I just didn't have an explicit confirmation
Um, I don't think he was the IGL on NASR, but he was playing pro 10mans the other day and he did IGL a couple games and overall seemed very vocal and with great ideas
No no I agree people should be have low expectations, just saying there was a reason the market was how it was last year
flexibility and comms are his main strengths tho, but yes bro can shoot
That's not the point. The thing is the break up and merger happened right during the off season. They didn't know which part was gonna keep the spot and who was supposed to pay for what. So basically when everything was solved everyone already had a roster
That I am, but gotta give it to you, if we count the yapping on the podcast you win
I mostly agree, but the bad at roster game is more complicated than that
🫡
Yes, great fragger, great flexibility, very vocal will probably help the mid rounding issues
Fuck yeah fucking finally, dude deserves it, he is insane. Been asking for this for a long time
yeah that would fit the description, just don't think Ibai would be excited about it
he could have worded it wrong but Idk. Just feels weird, I don't think he would be excited about xeus
Is not a knock on Tomaszy, I love him. But Ibai doesn’t know many Valorant players so I seriously doubt he got excited about someone he doesn’t know xD
KOI could probably be able to get Xeus but is 100% not him. He literally said someone they tried to sign last year
You cannot judge him by his level 3 years ago. That's just not how it works, might aswell get dapr Bonecold and Shazham
Truth is he is not good enough rn. But that being said he has had tryouts, if he doesn't get picked up is because he doesn't deserve it
If you see him play in tier 2 and cover up his name you wouldn't see him standup
NRG and VIT seems like. People speculate the situation is stuck because he wants VIT but FNC doesn't want to sell him to EMEA
With more context there's 4 possibilities that would fit the situation
Impossible: Sayf keznit (No way)
Realistic: Fitinho (most likely)
He got overhyped for no reason: Tomaszy (Unlikely why tf would he be so excited)
It's someone we never discovered they were after last year. (Unlikely)
It’s not Sayf, I think Ibai just worded it wrong. Sergio says it’s not anyone people is mentioning, like with the coach
None of those names fit the description other than Sayf
Couple things. They said yesterday they had sent an offer for someone that wasn’t Minny or Flyuh, so I assume is this. That being said I assume the Minny and Flyuh things are very much real so he must be talking about a duelist.
And last year they basically could’ve sign anyone until the end of the summer so they didn’t really compete for any signings, ence doesn’t make sense that they tried to sign someone and couldn’t because everyone already had the teams made. The only signing they did try last year and we know of is Sayf, which Ig fits the duelist description, but there’s no way that happens
They already said Derke rejected, it’s not him
