Hmm I wonder why they decided to stick with him, either they see potential in him (maybe performed in scrims, or good comms or something) or they decided to save money because rest of the roster is so expensive and maybe Kicks was already under contract. Really hope its the first one. But yeah I think he should do fine as long as he gives good utility.
I would want to see tomaszy play duelist, but Kamo had a better season easily and I doubt tomaszy would instantly perform to Kamo's level even on duelist. I get that Kamo has problematic history, but its crazy how much some people try to underrated him as talent.
Jamppi > Kicks
but obviously Kicks was just a rookie last season
Role swap really fucked him I feel like. KC picked him as last and seems like he wasn't doing really well in trials as he was close of not making it to VCT. And now I don't know. He was promising in tier 2 but had to change roles.
i won't say what i think, but he should consider different haircut/beard combo
otherwise not wrong
wonder will Lewn play duelist or sentinel and if sentinel then who will be the duelist
Such a weak selection for EU players tho lol
No real doubt, but I don't see many reasons to import player like him
Russian parents but born in Finland
Its still Leo, Alfajer and Chronicle + Boaster + Kajaak who was one of the best duelists in tier 2 EMEA. That type of team will do good no matter what unless Kaajak becomes Boaster 2.0 fragging wise. Also Leo aka arguably best initiator in the world was missing for some time and is now back. On top of that Fnatic has always been big honeymoon team when they make changes.
Yep... feels so pointless to watch Worlds. The gap between G2 and the rest of LEC seems so noticeable, but at the same time G2 look so outmatched vs good LCK and LPL teams. Even if the games are close its usually because G2 clutch out a fight or something. Gap between the west and the east seem to just be widening year after year and its especially noticeable in LEC. At least LCS teams seem to have improved a bit overtime, but for LEC its just down and down. Would not be surprised if G2 got knocked out by like FlyQuest or something. And rest of LEC just look horrible like what the fuck Fnatic and MDK.
Next year is going to be really exciting. There's already teams like Team Heretics, Team Vitality, FNATIC and even Karmine Corp, FUT who all can be expected to perform well unless something goes totally wrong. And then you have bunch of rosters with a lot of potential and I would not be surprised if some ended up performing better than expected. I honestly think that the only roster with low potential is Apeks.
Same. Honestly just depends on how the players transfer into tier 1 play, but I think they could be great underdog type of team. Click has bunch of potential and now has experienced guy like Zyppan to support him or play double duelist with. RobbieBk is an actual IGL even if unproven. Kadavra has always been solid and never really got the chance to play on good team. And Minny was one of the better sentinel players in tier 2.
Yes, but Guild was still relevant team back then and Bonkar's fragging just sucked
Would have been decent pick for Vitality. I don't get why he is getting so much unnecessary hate. People treat him like he was Guild Russ level. Still solid player that would have been completely fine on roster like Vitality full of crazy talent. Not a carry player or superstar, but decent well rounded player. Hopefully he at least makes it to BBL and can perform.
Breaking Bad ofc like wtf
Masterpiece of a series vs weeb shit
seems to be quite common theme in CGN, wonder why....
Yeah also in my experience its not even a kids only thing. I heard slurs in internet, school, army... literally everywhere where there's been people of my age. And these are not some edgy lords but just regular people.
I mean isn't all the controversy around him bit overblown? Oh no 17 year old Polish guy said the N word! Like I think people who go crazy over it would be in shock if they actually visited a country where people throw slurs quite casually (like Poland I would imagine). Also the whole nudes thing is bit 50/50 because yeah its weird, but at the same time it isn't illegal. And also something that is easy to judge outside looking in, but people behave differently and the intent might have not been bad just possibly a random interaction in relationship.
just some thoughts, but yeah ofc he is a brand risk.
Actually looks really nice and exciting as long as Sociablee can IGL to decent level and perform and they get decent coaching staff. Profek was one of the better players in tier 2 statistically, Click is young and big potential duelist, Jamppi has experience and is flexible and has good peaks even if inconsistent, LewN I don't know much about but good stats and seems to have really good mechanics from watching Jamppi duo with him, and not so sure about Sociablee because haven't watched him for a while.
But overall I think this roster could do something and hope it happens. And overall I wish BBL went international, because even though there's a lot of Turkish talent BBL always builds pretty boring teams and performs to meh level. Also would be good place for Turkish players to get used to comming in English, because its just better for future career.
Elias is normal Finnish male name. I'm pretty sure Jamppi just learned Turkish because well there's many Turkish players in Valorant and I guess he had interest to just learn it.
Vitality 100% and its not even close. I mean imagine keeping Sayf and Trexx while adding Derke and Less.
Damn hope Xeus ends up performing and ends up being an upgrade
0-3d in the finals vs Bleed. And what did Bleed do in VCT afterwards (with arguably upgraded roster)?
Apeks with either of the interpretations would already been playing in VCT if they attended the China Ascension.
Oh WOW! China Ascension! Like holy fuck. China Ascension is the weakest out of the 4 regions. Just because EDG won the Champions doesn't make China a strong region. BiliBili and FPX dropped out of Champions 0-2. You could likely put CGN Benny one tricking Phoenix and he would look like the next coming of prime Saadhak. (jokes)
Not saying Kr1stal couldn't do well, but acting like he is for sure tier 1 level "fragging IGL" with his career so far is crazy
Overall not a fan of the roster, but I think Kamo is good pickup from gameplay perspective. Just depends on how Keiko can frag on smokes and how Kamyk does in tier 1. But overall Kamo is good and bit underrated even.
Kr1stal maybe most overrated player for a while. Guy plays well in tier 2 China and instantly people think he is tier 1 level and upgrade over any of the guys Liquid just signed. Guy has proven pretty much nothing and is no difference to these players in fragging talent (likely worse) or in IGL talent compared to many of the tier 2 EMEA IGLs that didn't make it to VCT.
rather go internationally like they are trialing
yeah wtf. Less, Derke, Sayf, Trexx and 5th is way better on paper than Victor, Marved, Crashies, Ethan and Demon1 (if that was the roster). So far until maybe this roster Fnatic with Boaster, Derke, Alfajer, Leo and Chronicle has been the only real built "superteam".
Fnatic looked like garbage. Insane what a difference between 2nd seed LPL and 2nd seed LEC. G2 is only team with any hope and even they are like 3rd/4th seed of LPL/LCK level when playing well.
Imagine having to pick between Los Angeles, Berlin and Seoul
all shit
Likely yeah. I mean there was report from Sheep Esports so pretty much confirmed + all the tweets from Derke, Sayf, Vitality CEO etc hinting at that.
i do wonder did the community outrage change things up and Fnatic realised they needed to save their reputation, or something else
yep and even tho its business after all its Derke who has done so much for the org and pretty much made them relevant...
