To be fair, though, they are 3-3. So it's not like they have too poor chance of qualifying.

saadhak has no plans to leave LOUD at the moment. I've looked into it and the only two players getting dropped are qck (most likely leaving the org) and potentially Less (benched for "monetary reasons").
Okay, that side of smurfing content could be pretty useful, to be honest. Curry does it but I think a better example is CHARLA7AN, who used to do similar kinds of things (certain agent to Radiant series, where he'd showcase certain strats and playstyles for specific agents). It is still fundamentally wrong to smurf, though. The morally correct way of doing content like that is what royalg does nowadays, for example, where he has several accounts, all with pretty high mmr, so that when he does his placements he ends up high diamond minimum.
Oh, neat. Hope that doesn't take too much energy (CPU + mental power) to maintain.
As a stat nerd, this is great stuff. How did you manage to do it?
The vibes of the team are a HUGE problem. It's all work, no play, and it genuinely seems like a mental health problem for all 5 people, plus maybe even the staff e.g. Chet
It's inconsistent at times, but the threat of it is super powerful ngl
s0m would solve at least one problem, which is the vibes of the team
Yeah, I read the first few and went "wait, this sounds familiar"
Would love that. Kinda tired of EMEA just being E.
Or a worthy replacement of Rb, rather
Dude, what are you talking about? johnqt was M80's sentinel + secondary smokes last year. How in the world is that a role change?
It is unfair he's being dropped. He's a good duelist, but everyone's so blindsided by the fact that he's not aspas, and there's so much pressure built up onto him that it's practically impossible for him to do as well as people are yelling at him to do.
Sure, he's not as good as aspas. But frankly, who is? No one. So do we realistically expect him to be? No. It's an absurd expectation for someone who, mind you, went from being FURIA's Viper player last year to the duelist on one of the most consistently achieving teams of all time with four of the greatest Brazilian talents of all time.
He probably wasn't the best option for duelist in the first place. But that doesn't mean we clown on the guy. He's super nice, he's still young, he has a bright future, and he doesn't deserve all this slander just because he's not a dude who's been playing fps games since he was 3. It's just tough.
That being said, though, hope he finds a comfortable team to join next. Who even knows at this point? It could be the other Brazilian teams, it could be T2, or it could be nothing for the rest of the year. Do wish him the best, though.
FNATIC dropping mini and bringing in Elmapudd- oh no wait, that already happened
I like Harbor
Yoru, Gekko, KAY/O, Omen, Harbor
paTiTek. It's almost certainly not gonna happen, but just imagine how funny it would be if it did
Can't believe you're dropping these awful takes while he's on the exam grindset. Put some respect on his name
Common side effect of using the SEN classic btw
Bad rng. Really all there is to it
What's your source on pAncada? I thought the rumour was FURIA wanted to pick him up
Seeing them run the NIP Deadlock Ascent comp is really interesting. Feels like it has some untapped potential, crazy as that sounds
Fair enough, but like... what would you expect from a replacement?
...what...? Dude, that's first person... what are you talking about?
Yeah mb, thought you meant they should negotiate with those teams instead of Hero Base
I mean... it's not like he wasn't doing his job. He was entrying. He died on that entry really really often, but it's not like that stat alone can discredit his performance.
None of them have Portuguese-speaking players
NRG does need a proper igl, that's 100% true. But either pick doesn't solve the other huge problem with the team: their vibes. They need a vibes guy. They either need their IGL to fill that role as well, or they need to add a second player, in place of literally anyone. They'd still have a bit of a problem then (their sentinel player is also their Raze player so they're kinda screwed on some maps) but it would do wonders for them regardless.
...I'm sorry, but if you respect someone like Curry or JOLLZ, for example, for smurfing in lower elo lobbies purely for content, MORE than people who genuinely want to help you improve at the game in a morally correct way, then I don't know what to tell ya, man.
Yeah, that's my main concern. He doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Didn't know he stopped. Did he apologize at all, though? Or did he just slowly ease it out because people stopped watching it or something
Mb, prolly should've just elaborated. The whole smurfing thing... he doesn't see anything wrong with it, and he's still doing it, therefore encouraging his viewers to do it as well. Just puts a bad taste in my mouth.
