he's prob leaving drg but i dont think there's any news on where he's going to after that. i would guess he stays in cn

he was linked to bbl and gx a bit back in really early trials, but im pretty sure he's not gonna get back into franchising this season. no clue on what his plans are either

unironically the most predictable move of the offseason

mpaypal is certainly a new one, never heard that before

i still have faith, FUT is good and cNed is solid

and the vitality superteam is dead before it even plays a match. not even jamppi fault he's just inconsistent but sayf igl is going to be nrg 2.0

i actually like the natank signing, he's a good player. but if they turned down an actual t2 emea talent to import koalanoob that's just poor decision-making

pretty sure he's middle eastern descent, going by his name maybe pakistani?

correct, ange1 was running trials, although icl not signing click is defo a nepo move, ange1 was playing ranked with him earlier this week

being broke

wolfen is the only one who was in franchise

i mean i would prefer GX derke too tbh, i want sayf on duelist not igl smokes

CGN buyouts are notoriously high

i would put them at a comfortable 4-5th

the eventual neon nerf may hurt them a bit

Because of cloud i assume

unless some turkish billionaire who no one knew was a shareholder in BBL made a generous donation

first season fell short of expectations, second season they were screwed over by transfer window and couldn't get who they wanted. from an outside perspective, players are probably skeptical of how their year will go with KOI, plus there's a lot of unknowns regarding new coaching staff

EF have a lot of money from their other investments; 105k is a ridiculous amount but not all that surprising because they know he's a hot prospect. at least bbl are finally alive it seems

oh so he is like TE kai or 2G silentzz with the duelist/sentinel. i feel like those players have really high intrinsic value rn because of role overlap

unfortunately i don't think liquid are trying to compete for championships anymore, their best chance was when sayf was on the roster and they let him go for basically nothing in return

ah ok. is there any rumours about who gx igl is? are they gonna stick with cloud or are they picking up someone else

in terms of pure kda, sure. but he was certainly having an impact in those games with his kills vs his ghost performances in the vct league. i feel that he's only replaceable by ruxic, and even then he's been with FUT for a while

i thought redgar was retiring, he talked about it on Frost podcast

but they should get syouta anyway no? i understand the criticism of the aspas move, i honestly don't see it happening from a financial perspective anyway, its just a what if situation. they don't have a ton of amazing options regarding proven duelists tho

pretty sure this was the initial rumour when offseason started. still not sold on this navi project though to be completely honest. hiro and shao are the only two i really feel are top franchise level

i mean looking at when he was on LEV he kind of just was told to go and kill. feels like he's been learning japanese for a while too

didn't people say sacy and less were on bad terms a while back even though they really weren't?

ata actually is quite good at internationals; its a shame he doesn't put those numbers up in EMEA consistently. if anything they might wait another year to make changes because many young turkish talents aren't of age yet, and yetujey was a great prospect that they picked up shortly after he was eligible on FF

well i mean TL doesn't seem to be going crazy on the budget for this season, its not too crazy to think KOI offered him more

unless SEN can get skuba since zander seems to be going to 100T, he's prob the best alternative. proven in t1 + has LAN experience

i was just curious about this, but im not too familiar with JP orgs so i thought id ask those who are:

can zeta even afford to put an offer on the table for aspas? im sure if its a decent amount he would consider it. they could have a roster that would look something like this:

aspas
dep
sugarz3ro
CLZ? (idk i keep seeing his name on the spreadsheets)
SyouTa

and carlao as coach ig but i would prefer someone from pacific so maybe a korean coach or vorz if he's on the market

1. G2
2. LEV
3. 100T

i would put 2G but im not even sure if spike can play

i thought that anonimotum clarified he's further away in talks with KC vs some other teams or am i confusing players

i don't think they can buy out anything except their own stock atm

oh i didn't know that. great that he has some added job security especially considering the current esports climate.

ill be honest it's harder for him to get into franchise considering he was a bit worse this year performance wise, but im sure he will be a trial option for many teams. maybe he comes to emea?

this is either going to go really well or really shit. wouldn't be shocked if this was Bilibili 2.0 after what kingg said, but i believe in the 2-0. pls don't wake up first game primmie

im not a devoted gen g fan, but as someone who watched them this split a lot i would absolutely take them in an elimination match. gen g are better under pressure

FUT are likely better since EMEA is more competitive + they have shown to have a decently high level of gameplay, but if FUT aren't shooting EDG can run away with it

agreed, but im worried about how the rookies will play on LAN. its in seoul so they have homecrowd advantage but last time foxy9 was on LAN he shit the bed

thoughts?

honestly i was surprised by kingg's disrespect. no matter how good lev looks rn, there is always a chance. realistically tln loses but primmie could have a legacy game

i lowkey think it might be newzera, i remember this being the joke of the community for a good month

Newzera vs. VIT

https://www.vlr.gg/183953/team-vitality-vs-karmine-corp-champions-tour-2023-emea-league-w3

he got more kills than magnum or redgar so ig it was slightly better but fns played three maps while the others played two. I would put it in this order from best to worst:

1. FNS vs mibr (mibr actually were alright here and it wasn't a blowout)
2. Magnum vs TH (he dropped 0 kills)
3. Redgar vs KOI (KOI are the worst opponent on this list and Redgar wasn't even calling a great game. also this is the performance that likely got him benched)

This is like if zellsis was igl for SEN. Can he call? At a decent level, probably. Should he? probably not.

i was trying to see if he would say something more racist but he didn't. I'm very aware of who the recipient is

read it then if you think I just copied it

after they lost to Furia i feel like you had to pick LEV though
