They said its a temporary roster for this event, could be trialing these players for the finalised roster of course.

riot said clove had some sort of a bug so they had to move it to week 3 if i rmbr correct

Last time i checked viper v2

I mean hes just starting out smokes/flex role so of course he needs time to get better, its the offseason its the time to experiment.
Pancada is of course better on smokes rn.

monyet, mako, s0m, boostio and demon1 were all duelist players who switched to smokes (eg players play other as well but yk) so it doesnt matter if theyre a duelist player
