Xeppa just seems like a troll

IMO senti/controller work best. I think initiators should work really closely w/ the duelists to set them up, but the more passive the role, the better for calling. As long as the rest of the team gives good comms.
Probs just talking about his time on KPI (when he was a monster on skye and flash initiators)
Tomaszy clearly has a better neon. I feel like purp0 has a better raze. For jett, I'm not too sure.
Probably going to have a 100T situation.
Not wanting delay I understand. Even with how fast his chats build on his streams, he'll still respond to questions. Can't really do it in real-time with a 15-30 second delay.
With the map, you literally just have to put your camera/org ads over it. Fixable without costing more real estate on screen.
Probably just going to sign an unsigned team that quals
Imo they should buy brawk from mxs. Out of the blue but he's a great initiator, a mini leo in NA vcl. Huge gamble, but it's a 1:1 fit for roles.
Really, it depends. Age isn't as much a factor as your needs changing as you age. Want to start a family? You need a consistent income that will allow your family to do more than subsist. I could probably try and play in Challengers through my 30s, but id probably have to maintain a part time job, and rely on family or SOs to do it.
Pretty sure most pros who get their start at an older age (I.e. glowiing/pwnalone/roej in cs) have already been playing in lower circuits for some time.
End of the day, if you have the skills, comms, and temperament, you can do it at any age.
I see your point, but Trent is a terrible example of an initiator who doesn't provide excellent util.
Lakia, d4vai, and soulcas are all great examples though imo
I've just been watching it with my gf, but Scandal is cool.
Not sure if it's something I'd watch by my lonesome.
He's pretty flexible as far as duelists go, but yeah, his raze is his best. I think the way prx run things, they're more worried about team synergy than anything else. I actually think jingg is more consistent than something, who is good jett, and yoru sometimes, but he's better on gecko and some other agents than jingg would be.
IMO, have something play duelist on OP maps, like Pearl.
People talk about flexibility in EMEA, and his name doesn't get brought up often enough. He has great mechanics for an initiator/controller, and he picks his duels well. I'm not sure what their full roster will look like, so it's hard to really know what role each player will take.
at least 7/10 or 8/10. I'd say ANGE1 is more like a 4 or 5 /10 in comparison. He's experienced, but his mechanics are pretty awful at this point, and his calling hardly seems competitive compared to other IGLs across VCT.
Well, he's more experienced than most NA duelists, and also has shown way more flexibility over the last year or two in NA VCL. As people have mentioned, happy basically brought him back across the pond from M80. That being said, he's really hard-working, consistent, can also OP as well as cNed IMO, which you'll see him buy a lot, even on Omen or Yoru, not just Jett.
People are saying 6/10 generally, but I think him joining Na'Vi will be to the same affect as N4RRATE joining KC last year.
So, my prediction for how much value he'll bring is 8/10. I think he brings more to the table than cNed and ardiis did (NA bias ;p)
Imo SEN could be better long term, but so far NRG seems like the best all around team rn. Experienced vets and experienced t2 talents.
Realistically there is just better duelists. I'd prefer they sign a more unknown quantity like okeanos than someone who's consistently been inconsistent.
Huge country, so lots of variance depending where you live.
British Colombia, Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta are the largest provinces (mostly referring to populous, but as a consequence, they tend to have the best infrastructure and major towns/cities to live in. Southern Ontario, for example, has a massive proportion of the country's population, so most jobs are there (here, for me). Housing is expensive, but not as pricey as BC.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, on the other hand, are way cheaper, but are generally colder, less culturally diverse, and have less infrastructure outside of major cities.
I'd say it's generally pretty friendly, but we're not without our own forms of bigotry like any country.
I feel like they're super similar as duelists, sym is more confident with the op though.
I only downfrag when ppl act like they know val pros
Especially when there's a player with the ign 'jakee'
Weird.
Definitely extended negotiations. Apeks will make or break with his replacement next year, fnatic will have to drop the bag for him. Honestly a risky pickup despite how nuts kaajak is tbh.
SEN, and 100T will be great teams (imo). Interested to see if C9 make any changes, but the ones they've made so far have been good choices on paper.
Benjyfishy, riens, and wo0t were all unknown elements in T1 val during last off season.
It's been all of a week since their roster was announced? I think a core with izu, meteor, and buzz/stax can be competitive. More than T1s last roster anyways.
Agreed w/ all but the kaajak comment
I get he's unproven, but I think he has the potential to be as good as Derke, if not, better.
Haven't seen people glazing sheydos in years. He was honestly the most consistent player on KOI this year too :(
Fr?
This makes about as much sense as a Spanish construction company owning the 407
But wait....
Imo it's criminal to not have sayf and/or derke not on duelist, unless chamber becomes meta again.
They definitely can't afford yay. I refuse to believe that.
I don't dislike Izzy as an option, but I feel like there's better duelists out there. If they do go with him, I hope not all Turkish orgs have the same rep as FF
Same team that left is playing tomorrow. All players are restricted FAs
I'd rather see GE suck with local talents in pacific than suck with imports. Most of their imports have been on people's radar for awhile too, so I don't think I understand how it could be cheaper at all, especially since you need to provide housing for them too.
If ur gonna keep sucking, at least cut some losses by having a cheaper team with a coach that provide them structure, so long as everyone speaks good enough english
Fr I would rather see Zander join SEN or C9. Probably the former.
No reason to drop bang, if they find someone who can be their main duelist across all maps, and then someone with experience and leadership who can be their second caller behind boostio, they'll be set.
Wdym his breach is insane. His sova and Cypher are pretty mid tho
correct, it's Portuguese. Seeing as he's chilean, I imagine he's played on BR servers for a long time.
God damn. Americas T1 really getting cleaned of experienced players. Guess there will be more room for new players, but damn.
Wonder what viewership will be like next year. Lots of time for more people to retire...
V1c and Rossy are both great players though. I think if they find a good recon initiator (maybe Brawk) in place of xeppa, they'll be competitive.
Kind of like zellsis, dude streams consistently, therefore bringing value to an org beyond his performance in matches. I wish he stayed in CS, he's been mid in official matches. Poor agent pool and bad decision making for someone who's been playing so long
realistically senti and smokes are the best roles to lurk in
They definitely went under a lot of people's radars heading into play-offs because of how much people glazed MXS, OXG, and M80. Less antistratting being done, and I also think you're right, they came together as a team way more in play-offs.
Plus even when they had 5, WeDid still going through cancer treatment. Before his diagnosis he was their best player. Unfortunate situation :(
LogaN on senti, kadavra on omen/viper, natank on duelist/flex. Idrt takaS was a great duelist, but I imagine there's a French speaking duelist out there that can compete in T1. Still, sick core of players.
Probs building around this core, unless negotiations w/ n4rrate between competing orgs is taking awhile
Would be a better duelist than whoever they might sign from Brazil imo, unless they can get another T1 from a different team
