true

yeah he turns 17 in april, and even tho the age cap means he wont be 18 until partway through the 2025 season i'd assume the same tier 2 grandfathering rule will apply and even if he cant play the start of the season he'll be 18 for most of it

also what the fuck reduxx is almost a full year younger than me and my ass is hardstuck diamond

skye nerfs r gas for g2 bc trent can play sova/fade and jonahp can play 2nd init

sacy and crashies clear every other americas initiator in terms of consistency

i think eg gonna have OD underdog buff

derrek, nature, supamen, apoth, and jawgemo all have chips on their shoulder now

he will be by 2025, no?

yes. a huge part of effective aim is positioning and setting up fights well

some of those players were not available without a buyout, which c9 obviously isn't willing to pay

theyd perform significantly worse then, who would you even get to fill those 4 slots?

yea

blame jack for budgeting like a retard

its an atrocity mce isnt in franchising

anyway, rating coaches without seeing the internal workings of the teams they coach is stupid

asuna and especially cryo's strength is their strong mechanics tho, the issues those players have had have never been aim related

derke chronicle and leo have great aim, it just isnt flashy like how demon1 and something aim. they are maximizing for consistency not peaks

cryo's playstyle is significantly less team oriented than zekken (he's more passive and therefore demands more resources while also not taking as much space for his team to play off of)

cryo would need to have better stats than zekken for him to be an equally impactful player, which doesn't mean his style is "bad" or "wrong", it just isn't a solution to 100t's issues at the moment which is an overall lack of aggression and decisiveness. chamber fit cryo incredibly well because it allows him to leverage his incredible mechanics and oping without the additional burden of playing as a hard entry the way a duelist agent does.

its hard to compare jdg and drg bc drg beat 4/5 jdg players in ascension but the jdg/ra core did better before that event
seeding is a crapshoot in cn anyways

ex6tenz (i dont rate anyone on gm8 i think he carries that team)

unironically i loved watching that navi roster with jady 7ssk7 and cloud

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/a1afa3c2 calling sen runback for lols

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/d449f11d vit is a trap game for fnc

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/f50a9716

KC 2-1 GX

i think the way they aim isnt that similar but personally demon1's aim is a bit better
not like oxy's aim isnt insane tho

2021: tenz, nAts, cned (HM:yay)
2022: yay, marved, aspas (HM: suygetsu)
2023: demon1, alfajer, jingg (HM: less)

picking 3 is very hard

list 40 players you'd have definitively above him

i can list plenty but not 40

by role:
top: smeb, theshy
jg: canyon, score
mid: faker, rookie, scout
adc: ruler, uzi, deft
support: meiko, mata

then u can argue some others like khan chovy xiaohu viper ming etc

the diff is league knight is one of the best players of all time

lol knight originally thought his name was said K-Night also funnily, he swapped to the actual word when he went pro tho

sentinel: less
flex/igl: saadhak
initiator: crashies
duelist/smokes rotation: tuyz and demon1

this isnt optimal but i think the conceptual basis is very interesting

crashies for initiator
leaf for duelist

ass

NRG LOUD (i think LEV are gonna start slow)
FNC FUT (VIT trexx integration starting too late to be ready by madrid)
PRX T1 (sayaplayer pookie)
EDG DRG (flair)

he might be off duelist on raze maps

asked abt aim
not being a holistically good player lol

scourge
suygetsu
alfajer
demon1

tuyz is prob still better on fraggers than smokes ngl

the way ic it is that mazino has more depth but on tuyz's picks hes better, he just has less picks yk

we dont even know what tuyz is gonna play on every map

any 2 of nrg lev loud and sen can make it

nvm ive been informed by sources that this is not bait and the proposed roster will be fielded by eg for kick//off

my apologies cboomer

falling for freakishly obvious bait

common drg w

forgot abt this one LOL

he was a similar igl to seangares too... much 2 think about

carpe noctem vs 100t

this teams gonna be better than ppl expect imo

jawg is an s tier player globally, and the core around him are all good and underrated "setup" players

i can't predict a placement but my call is jawg is going to be statistically incredible

abo was also a sub for them (star duelist for titans esport club)

Ethan Leo Aspas Alfajer Mako

Aspas>Demon1 for raze

Shut the FUCK up

sawdack

pancada and nzr to mibr
-rglm (dogshit) and jzz (unfortunate)

roles depend on map for nrg you need a whole ass spreadsheet to predict it
