He definitely can

I agree, I've been claiming we need new faces for a while. We will get some but I think we do need more. Gorilla kinda counts as a new face and I think TL is trying to get Danyto. I hope someone picks up Kapio or Lohan

Oh same here, fuck M8 and KC but I hope goked does well xD

I hard agree but this is not the case at all, unlike many of those coaches you're talking about, Goked has won in tier 2 and has done extremely well in "Ascension"

The project with KOI obviously did not work out but there really isn't much he could do there as an assistant, and LEV knew that which is why they signed him. And sure you can call his time in LEV a failure but he did build a good roster, specially the tex pickup proved to be really good. Team started not as intended, needed a reset and goked was the chosen way to do that. It's not like they were complete dogshit either.

My point being, this is a second chance and in a not very top team, not a 4th or 5th on a top team

You gonna get a Fitinho Vorwenn Guardy on M8

he just needs to get a full spanish roster now and everything will be fine kekw

I didn't know, that's cool I'm happy for him

Both NAVI and Liquid will have new staff

Wanted someone else?

Alright hold on there everybody, Ik goked probably doesn't have many fans rn and that I sound biased, but he is actually good. He has plenty of accolades in tier 2 and Leviatan hired him for a reason, it just didn't work out there

Oh, it's been said for a while now but yes, M8 is not going full French anymore

I knew ZY were anouncing a Rising player today, but it was Bisk??? No way

I really hope they do well, for Inthra and Wolfen

Calm down buddy.

Look, Esport orgs are companies, before, their performance didn't affect how many years they got to be in franchising, but now they NEED to win in order to stay. Orgs often have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars for the sole purpose of Ascending and if you think they're not gonna try to do everything they can to protect that just because someone "grinded all year" you don't really know how a company works

It's not about the players, if it were all the spots should go to Turkey/Russia/Poland instead of France or Spain. It's about the fans, and the league is hosted in Germany so a German team is very necessary to start getting decent crowds in the arena

1. Alright that is indeed an important detail. But if I'm understanding it correctly, Apeks and MistGames do have the same ownership? I understand that's where the confusion comes from, because I've heard this rumor from trustable sources which include esport CEO's, so it's definitely not just random.

My question here is, even if they are separate companies, if they do have the same owner (if you confirm so), does that not still constitute a conflict of interest? I understand it's a more mild one, but it still would feel weird

2. Fair enough, that answers my main question if we would have another the Guard situation, so yeah that helps

I don’t think NA and EMEA are gonna care about VALM at all. Not really a thing here

The org gets the spot not the players. And also now the org only gets 1 guaranteed year in VCT, they’re not just gonna lose that spot because someone “deserves” to be there

I said something similar but definitely not that

I’m afraid it does work like that. You can drop them all if you want. The situation with G2 was different

It’s definitely this year, season starts very early next year. And also we should know all of the rosters in not too long even if their not announced

Woot's flick on Derke

I'm not making up anything, I'm asking questions
I would like to hear which part it's wrong tho. I'm genuinely curious in a good way

Germany does deserve a spot, it's time

It's very hard but what I think is,
Apeks, M80, Sin Prisa, XLG

What I actually want is
CGN, RETA, Don't care, KBG

No restrictions I believe, the spot belongs to the org

Well unless they choke like last year it's looking like they're gonna win Ascension. But I've got 2 big concerns

First of all it's about Apeks as an org. I believe they have bought the TO of Polaris and they intend to do it themselves. But the rumor is they plan to become full time tournament organizers, and that they were gonna shut down operations as a team if they didn't ascend. I'm open to corrections here but I believe they have already shut down/are going to shut down, all other divisions in other games. So I suppose if they do Ascend they will obviously carry on with it and we're not gonna get another TheGuard situation? And even if they do, I think it would kinda feel weird if that is the only division they have. Also when they descend they're gone?

And second of all, I really don't believe in the roster. If a team of rookies ascends you at least don't know what their celling is, but in this case we've already seen this guys, and as a team I believe they would have the lowest potential in VCT, other than kajaak who is obviously insane. And I do believe the other guys can still play VCT, but probably better in separate pieces instead of all together. And I do think Dannyto deserves it too.

Do they make changes if they Ascend?

More like MENA’s

Soulcas is looking good but then again, so was Enzo last year for example. It's kinda hard not to get the same vibe

And the Hype and Avova... If Anonimotum leaked tomorrow that KOI signed them people would be asking for them to be kicked out of franchising

If it is because I'm glazing MENA I don't think that's how it works xD

You've never seen Kaquka?

I'm an Akai believer

Sure, so is your first statement. I'm just saying what I think. Either way we'll never know I guess

Yes, but it never felt like they had a chance to win

I don't think TU would have lost to Joblife if the had Akai in the first place

I genuinely feel sorry for the, I think Ascension would have been very different with Akai, they might have even had a chance

xD

He has dropped 34+ on 2 out of the 5 ever international games he has ever played

wtf am I reading

I wish xD

How is Usain Bolt a sentinel

Well they might still be, it just doesn't look like we're gonna see it any team soon xD

His Raze actually used to be kinda nice

Yes and no cap I think CGN stands for Cologne Gaming Network

Need better internet bro

He will 100% join the team, this is from before the anonimotum report

That ain't Berlin tho xD

Well that is a problem of the people you play with. And if pro's don't do it either it would be because they decide another use is more necessary than watching flank.

And literally no, how are the alarmbot and the trip any better? Other than because there's 2 trips

Tf you mean she has no anti flank ability. What do you think the wall does?

Pretty sure that's Germany so it's actually CGN Demon1
