If you force this roster to play like the last one, it wont work. However, I think this roster is more stable because the roles won't switch from map to map much. It will practically put zellsis perma flash initiator, bang controller, johnqt senti/viper. Upgrade or downgrade is hard to judge because the playstyle will be very different.

Idk shit, but it definitely felt like a financial issue bc c9 also randomly disbanded their GC team when they were killing the NA scene. Also they randomly picked up a collegiate player, no shade to jakee but there was definitely more proven T2 players at the time. But all speculation on my part

It's bc between the two, neither jett is significantly better than the other. However, one is already a world class sova so its easier to slot in this way. You don't have to spend time teaching n4rrate the little nuances with the agent and go straight into strats and scrimming. But who really cares about my opinion im not on the team. LMAO

But outside of zekken, who do you want to play sova on ascent, icebox and haven? Johnqt? We saw how that went in RBHG. Its not like they're switching him to sova and putting a bad jett in, its n4rrate. If they do it, it'll be just fine

Why do people love complaining so much? Seriously if you don't like something, don't watch. It's clearly something he does on the side, separate from his other content. If you want actual new and most up to date stuff then scroll through twitter or reddit

Honestly next level of dedication to care that much. If that isn't written with AI, please you need help.

pointless comparison, we won't know until they play

I'd be okay with him saying bang has better game sense and taking smarter duels but to say someone hard diffs tenz purely on mechanics, when that is his main things is difficult. Not many people are imo

I think its a great pickup. I do think his performance will be better compared to 100T bc I think he'll have more freedom. We don't know the dynamics of the teams but based off the way tenz and bang played on their previous teams, tenz was able to make plays off his own instincts and be more aggressive. Also considering how zellsis plays brim on bind, very aggressive A short, if they let zellsis play that way, surely they'd let bang take his own plays as well, which would help his consistency alot too.

Why would you bring a sign for a player that isn't playing? Thats like bringing a lebron sign to a cavs game in 2024

I'm not hating I just want reduxx

This is just me being a huge fan of reduxx and wanting him to be in franchising. I am biased but I do feel like he'd have a higher ceiling than bang

assuming my scenario is possible with reduxx joining after, I'd feel bad for players like bang to join the roster to get benched so I just put curry as he's okay with being a 6th man

I know rumors of n4rrate and bang but since nothing is confirmed. Imma do my favorite thing, what if scenarios.

Reduxx could be sen's woot. Assuming n4rrate is more plausible, keep curry as a sub until reduxx turns 18. For a kid, who hasn't played omen or gekko in a pro match, he was pretty damn impressive. I think you invest in him to be your next big name

I'm no pro obviously but if they only had mound control I would get the decision but having C, breaking trip and cam. I think you get the bomb down and let zellsis play his own timings, instead of all doubling back. Even if zellsis goes down you still have 4v3 on site, I think trying to keep all 5 alive costed them a very crucial round

that 5v3 mid round pivot to b back to c again, you know sacy would've veto'd that shi and won the round

If you're watching sen vs c9, you know which one im talking about

That was one of the biggest tosses i think i've seen

rossy was just confirmed signed

naw trust, he just hasnt game'd seriously in awhile so he's shaking off the rust

at an offseason tourney LUL, who cares about how he performs? He was running it down

NASTY

damn thats unfortunate for the 7 then

2G got to ascension based on points, I'd be heated if I was the 7 because them winning upper final did squat for them. 2nd and nothing.

I don't pay much attention to T2 outside of NA, was this in other regions too?

NRG for sure

Yes, it went to more comfortable and permanent roles like you mentioned. However, it doesn't dictate the environment of the team. Even if the original roster has vic full time duelist and d1 on senti/ secondary smokes, marved ontroller, ethan flex, crashies recon. I don't believe it would've changed anything because their macro approach to the games was horrible. Roles don't effect how you read the game.

I would actually make the counter argument that it was the calling that was the major issue for the team. The sample size is small but the team was never cohesive, it was always based of individuals. Their defensive rotations were awful and never had a good read. The team completely flipped when FNS and s0m rejoined.

Yes D1 has a small agent pool but they could've easily when victor raze and d1 smokes on maps like bind, lotus and split, which they did change after. I can't fault them for trying the d1 raze bc it probably worked in scrims. Compared to 2023 sen, they didn't have bad role issues

Chamber was strong, Neon is more annoying than anything. Hard to be bad on old chamber compared to Neon

I'm kinda surprised that no one else suggested it bc it made alot of sense to me

If no bang, zander or skuba. What about koalanoob? The dude plays alot of omen and is a hyper aggressive player like Tenz. One of the reasons I think zekken did really well is the fact that tenz was always backing him when entering sites, tping in with him. He always Ops alot which can help create that potential threat since zekken doesn't op much off that jett role.

Obviously a tradition controller is a better replacement for tenz but just food for thought. From the outside looking in, Tenz and koala are pretty similar

One of the few with a really strong duelist pool. Strong rifle with alot of aggression. Only downside I would say is doesn't op as much as you'd want your main duelist too.

apparently the one's threatening showed him a picture of his house, so it stems more than just random comments

He was getting death threats and threatened doxxing

doxxing someone for spreadsheets and rumors? Most rumors are fake anyways, who cares that much????

I considered it a toss up bc 2G haven't played it all year (ascension and both splits) so it could've been good or bad. If 2G played the meta comp, yes 80-20 for M80 bc its what they scrim against. However, 2G pulled the iso/yoru which is a hard comp to play against, which brought it back to 50/50 for me

G2, Sen, NRG

Assuming G2 get derke/jaw
Sen get narrate and skuba/zander
NRG get mada/jaw/derke

LEV lose aspas
KRU losing heat and not getting saadhak
100t no roster changes

I prefer open circuit because then these "no name" teams can randomly show up and kick ass. Thats what the guard did initially and we wouldn't have to watch teams like MIBR, KOI, M8, BLEED, DFM just shit the bed constantly.

Also relegation should be for every team not ascension only if EVERY org had a chance of making T1, there would be so much more investment into the scene and trying to build a strong team

M80 lost bc they got diff'd and hard anti'd

Its not that shocking considering the factors.

M80 lost their 2 comfort maps in Ascent and Lotus, which they played alot of in split 2.
2G heavy anti'd them on sunset both times.
Haven was a toss up bc 2G hasn't played it all year and pulled a very unconventional comp.
M80's bind apparently was never super good

Both teams are pretty even imo, different day, different map pool who knows the result?

Good answer

Franchising (23'/24') or Open circuit (21'/22')

Just dumb

100% slide accuracy just shouldn't be a thing and how fast you pull out your gun is crazy. Slide shotgun, okay like the sheer number of bullets with being close should kill but a single vandal bullet is too much. Nerf alittle but not kill pls, its nice to see a variety of agents

that was actually like a 1/million miss

I think it works for M80 bc its fits their atk style with the heavy midrounding

not even, we have seen double senti do well, its just a very niche comp that you have to really understand it to work. We have seen teams do well on lotus, bind, Lev and fnatic (one time) played it on ascent. Obviously the sample size is very small but its not as weak as you think it is. Will it ever beat the meta comp? no but it still can work well occasionally

their mental is actually gone now, noway

if I am them, my mental is gone

What are you supposed to do against that if youre zander? LUL

Shohei 50/50 club

curious to know why you think that?

remember precise gunplay

I will forever say this agent is dumb
