"munchkin is a good shooter but stratwise hes kinda average"
Didn't munchkin outcall... basically every igl in 2024 at one point or another?

Can't wait to see which team the GOAT Shr1mp will go to

that GENG team lacks firepower

Didn't Buzz leave DRX willingly or did I hear wrong? I could understand the DRX roster moves at least, they had a really underwhelming year results-wise. Freeing and Hyunmin are both insane players. But this GENG roster change feels wrong.

I'm guessing yoman to replace Munchkin, zest to replace lakia and why the FUCK would you let go of one of the best senti players in the world? The only POSSIBLE upgrade for Meteor would be Freeing or Flashback

I read the last part as "This is a devastating story and will be updated shortly"

There was around a 2 year age gap and the circumstances around that e-relationship were really strange so you can kind of have to take that with a grain of salt.

Free1ng and Hyunmin unironically have higher ceilings than Buzz and Foxy9 right now. I don't know Leviathan but this looks like an upgraded team to me.

Don't make me support TL bruh

He streamed Alien Isolation recently and I swear 10k people exited his stream the moment they saw he was playing something other than val lmao twitch viewers are shameless

Could FNC afford him?

Patitek supposedly trialed for several teams and nothing worked out. I think a leak showed he trialed for TL most recently. I think he's good enough for T1 (proved it in Shanghai) but it's looking increasingly unlikely he'll get picked up.

Ardiis said on stream he had 2 offers but was leaning towards streaming, he's been offline for like 2 weeks so idk if he's trialing/made a deal or what.

Zyppan was signed by m8

aspas will be snaking kaajak to join FNC

I agree, people are overreacting again. HYUNMIN and Freeing have a way higher ceiling than Buzz and Foxy9 right now. Not sure about Leviathan over Beyn but we'll see.

Foxy9 on senti was probably his best role but Flashback has potential to be the best senti in the world. He's just the better player.

on stream he said he had 2 offers (that was like 2 and a half weeks ago) and he hasn't streamed in 12 days, no idea what's going on

There's a ridiculous amount of cracked Korean players. Lakia is a very good player, but he's not the best on the market and players like Zest, Beyn or UdoTan for example would bring more fragging value to the team (even if its a10%-20% upgrade). Mechanically he's the worst player on an excellent team. That's just how it is. It's very easy for people to 'hate' the worst player of a good team.

I don't even think GENG should drop him, I think they should run it back and see what happens but if Lakia underperforms again then we'll be having the same discussions again.

That sounds like too many cooks in the kitchen

Where the fuck is the igl?

Supposedly he got 2 offers

Kaajak feels like a long term project type of thing, I highly doubt we're going to be seeing BIG results right off the bat

What team would you like to see buyout Aspas?

This is exactly what TEC needed. Abo is a really good player but his calling was not good and the fact that was a duelist igl was a large part of that. Let Abo focus on fragging. I guess this means B1ack who was temporary is out and the roster is Rb/Abo/Haodong/AC/LockM. I think LockM might need to be dropped for someone with more firepower. Maybe slowly, zixuan or another promising t2 player.

Who's giving him a job?

send jinggg to team secret

NA is actually too stacked, they're both good players but no longer in their prime so it's a tough sell

Aware

he is racist, correct

He's repeatedly said on stream that he has an offer to play in EMEA that he's considering, but he's 60/40 leaning towards content

hiroronn? wouldn't it a different t2 player be more promising

Any chance of the Riddle Order guys getting picked up by a t1 team or are they going to run it back next year?

"SPG in my books still doesnt look as good as FS, BOOM or riddle"
I genuinely wish I could be this delusional about things

Israeli TV is literal brainwashing as well

The world is waking up and realizing the Israeli government is a terrorist organization. Countries and world leaders everywhere are recognizing it. If the Israeli citizens are being subjected to racism it's wrong, but no one should be under the belief that criticizing a corrupt government is 'racist'.

Vlr is literally a racist forum, you're just finding this out? Even putting the French comments aside I've seen COUNTLESS comments making racist remarks against Chinese, Brazilians and especially Indians. "But X, Y and Z isn't a race" Yeah okay man, Racism is prejudice or hostility towards a person's race, color, nationality, or national or ethnic origin.

I think Marteen has the mechanical talent to be a top 3-4 duelist in the region, he just wasn't able to reach his full potential last year due to KC's poor calling/midrounding.

Zivuan from CCG is scrimming with FPX, I haven't heard anything about any other CN Ascension player being rumored for t1.

j0nggg

FNS

I think he should be given another shot in tier 1 but I don't know what his motivation is like right now

So Lysoar is pretty much gone from FPX is what I'm getting from this, it's honestly for the best. Solid player but his international performances this year didn't cut it.

I've heard the rumor that FPX is making a roster change. The only person that you could let go of is Lysoar, I guess Hfmi is a better player than him.

Haodong is like the most successful Chinese igl, it would be a waste for him not to go to another team.

He's definitely getting picked up by GX, Liquid or KOI right? A fragging igl is really hard to find and there's not a lot of proven igls for the t1 EMEA teams to choose from.

This is bad for XLG though. They could become another DRG, a team with really poor midrounding and inconsistent results if they don't get a good igl.

Honestly the NAVI roster wasn't even bad lol, all of the players they dropped were good. Look at their Split 1 performance. Ardiis is past his prime but he's still a solid teammate to play support/Jett. Doombros leaving just collapsed the NAVI system and ANGE1 might be a questionable igl right now.

Did anyone actually watch the Riddle Order grand final? They're no doubt a good team but they definitely lack strong fundamentals at times and play some really messy maps. I think SPG should have been the favorites going into that game.

He was definitely good in the few matches we've seen from him in tier 1 but you have to remember that Talon's system isn't great and Primmie had some moments of poor decision making due to his inexperience. I think with time and more cohesion on his team he'll be great.

There was no 'great' option to win EMEA ascension. PCF couldn't even qualify with their roster, CGN wasn't that special of a team aside from like 2 of their players and Apeks is a team of former T1 players and their best player (Kaajak) is likely going to another team. It is what it is.

I think his time in tier 1 is done right now tbh, there's going to be other options in the Pacific region after ascension is done

Replacing a duelist with another duelist will definitely fix PRX's problems

It sucks because in most cases you'd be insane to drop a flexible duelist that puts up the numbers Rarga does. He's an incredible player but the Chinese region NEEDS proven igls. Kr1stal is a very good igl and puts up great stats.
