i do agree that thief isn't the best replacement option for moose (and yes he's not proven anything past t2) but he's been more consistent than moose

he did his job being a selfless entry player, sure he may not be fragging like everyone wants but he's the reason the others are doing so well, never overheats

They're literally smurfing in T2 (haven't lost a game apart from that one fluke in 7 months). In that same tier with KOI, GX and M8 imo.
