Yeahhh disagree on that one. Heretics, Fnatic, Vitality, KC at least are all looking better to me, and being on a team that might struggle or barely make top half of EMEA even with Derke on them is a huge downgrade for a top2 duelist oat. Not that Vitality is guaranteed to succeed, but at least Sayf and Trexx (and now Less) are “Fnatic-level” players. And again, there’s salary concerns on top of that.

You yourself said it though, he doesn’t want to leave Europe. Expecting a player to move to a different side of the world isn’t reasonable imo (we don’t know what his personal reasons are). So, really it’s any EMEA team except for the best available and the best-paying one (if rumours are to be believed).

Is it? Pro play is a shit tonne of work so if he can’t get on a team that he doesn’t think can win is taking the bench salary and streaming or doing whatever worse? Riskier for his career, sure, but…

Regardless, this shouldn’t even be a discussion since there is a team that he wants and that is willing to pay.

This does not make it any better… let’s force him to literally move continents or go work his ass off for a shitty eu team that he clearly doesn’t believe in (and probably doesn’t pay as well as Vitality), thank you for your many years of service Derke!

The official website has spoiler-free vod links

They clearly meant in the context of the game, if you were actually listening. And I agree, T1 didn’t look good and honestly should be ‘happy’ that they managed five.

Yes the games will be on LAN and no they won’t be at the LEC studio but a different location. Tickets have already been on sale for a week or so here

They have their own version of this on their YouTube channel with 60k views

This, according to the tracker someone linked below he has played Skye five times EVER in ranked lmao

Anyway not that serious and not a judge of his potential ability on anything imo
