I wonder how rare it is to get +2 Rating on two maps in a row

was heat not recycled? xD

He was close to it but he never did. Either way that's not what I'm saying.

Originally were going for saadhack

You're saying they got rid of heat to sign Saadhack

Nah saadhack can clearly play both since he's playing info initiators on kc

You're saying heat and saadack can play together

I don't think you're making sense here brother

Language, and he is not an initiator

I usually troll a lot but atp I can't even argue. 6 out of 12 teams is fucking nuts

Brother crashies is a great player. All of NRG was shit that doesn't mean anything. There is no available player anywhere close to crashies

Nothing, just a Boaster clip from a couple months ago. That's all I've seen

Mixwell did insinuate he thought he might not be able to play the start of the season. Guess he was right

When is this long term it's usually mental stuff but in this case I believe it's a physical issue, bro can barely play apparently

I don't specifically know about DaviH but CGN does have extremely high buyouts. And DaviH is not better than crashes. Also idk if DaviH would accept, I mean what does he do when Leo comes back?

Another import...
Hate to say it but that one does make an awful load of sense

doesn't matter, the rest still make up for it

Probably Vitality

He is trying not to get too distracted until he finishes school I suppose. I believe this is his last year and then he can choose to go full time again

Monster has school, doesn't have much flexibility to do that

That's where the hunger part comes in. Also Avova is far more experienced than Rossy

My point is hype Molsi and Avova are already veterans, it's not experience what they need

If G2 wins this I'm gonna go ahead and assume GX owns all of this teams too

Eh, I think having a Tier 1 player who has qualified to an international LAN and has a hunger to perform more is better and safer than any T2 player at this point.

They've already got 2 of those with Molsi and Avova, what they need is young blood imo

But yeah we'll see who it is

I know, I'm saying if they needed an IGL I would understand because there are fewer, but if that's not the goal I simply thing they should have sticked to someone from tier 2. Maybe like a DaviH or something (CGN might have a high buyout for him but you get the point)

Without the money

Soulcas is not on Apeks, he was talking about him replacing Soulcas playing a slightly different agent pool

Quite literally the day the were made

Fair enough, but I did mean the tone. Nothing against Rossy, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, C9 is fucked up for that, but it just bothers me that we import so many people

A good experienced tier 2 player is definitely not what they need rn. They already have 3 of those

Molsi is like, Avova and hype I don’t believe much in, specially hype

Really? Cause KOI and KC been acting like they face each other for a couple weeks

Idk tho, you might be right

it's been out for a while. At least the EMEA one

Plenty of options to do that in EMEA not named Rossy, specially when you already have an IGL

We've had a bunch of imports this year but by far that would be the most fucking unnecessary one

KOI rebranded

Brother Sayonara is worlds better than Flor, that comparison is not even fair to Flor at all

Also he didn't get shit on, he did worse than Alfajer, equal to Chronicle and better than the other 2

Hasn’t been leaked yet so most likely no verbal agreement yet

MiniBoo was not abusing Neon, he played it before the buff and kinda stopped after

damn after leaving m3c bros been hardcarrying koi dropping 82 kills in the spotlight

I think on paper they look top 11th. But I'm hopeful and I believe they will make playoffs

If the stars aligns I suppose they could make an event at some point. But that would be a big ass alignment.
I think their main goal should be preparing their image tbh

Define hopeful

That sounds about right. Fair enough

Apeks is never gonna get into franchising, they're not nearly big enough. But yes this is a fantastic move, not necessarily PR move as in "Oh let's sign a girl make our image better" but more with the objective of solving every small orgs main issue, that no one actually gives a fuck about them. This move brings attention, whether it is to support or to hate a bunch of people care about Apeks now and are gonna watch the games and talk about them. At the end of the day that's where money is at and how you create fans

And just so I make it clear, I'm not saying that's the reason she got picked up. I'm saying if you like 2 players in try outs very similarly, stuff like this is the kind of thing that can totally tip the balance.

Interesting thanks. As said other factors influencing does not mean she wasn't definitely one of the priorities.

According to UCAM’s CEO who usually knows what he’s talking about it was Apeks’s CEO decision. Which doesn’t mean Flor wasn’t high in the tryouts

And I’m sorry even if Flor was trash the move make A LOT of sense organizationally wise

Yes but no, t's a combination of both things. She was not the main option, doesn't mean she wasn't high priority and deserve it

many players were

UCAM CEO who usually knows what he's talking about said she wasn't Apeks first option but more of an imposition by the org. Which doesn't contradict what you're saying, I'm sure she was high priority, but I don't think she was the main option. Also obviously Apeks coach would claim that, his job is to take as much pressure away as possible

Italians play in the Spanish league now

Italian VCL is not a thing and that wasn't HGE final roster, it was just to win the qualifier

That being said, no clue

No matter who they sign they are gonna be 12th in EMEA on paper. Which doesn’t mean that’s where they will end up

the database doesn't mean anything. That is useless

idk about good asf but def better than runner

And that is your conclusion based of off 5 really tight off season games?

why do you think they locked him so quick

Yeah to me this is already next year xD
