Yeah, i think if Benkai went to coaching he'd probably just stay in PRX as a coach... but a man can dream, you know? Cause 100T benkai coach would go so fucking hard.

I did also think about Valyn! However, i didnt put Valyn in as a possibility, since he plays smokes mostly (and thats what we have bang for)

thank you!
I love Sliggy's streams. For a long time i didnt get why people watched them, but then i did, and i mean, i got better at the game, i understood it more.
I'd love it if Sliggy came back to coaching.

thank you SigmaMale

No, sorry, i explained it really poorly there. Thats a soup of words.
My apologies.

What i was trying to say is that, the reason for TL's struggle to win against EDG is not ONLY because EDG is in good form, but ALSO because TL is currently in poor form.

I know TL can play better than they did in that match versus EDG - so thats why i said theyre in poor form. Theyre a fantastic team, and i feel that if TL was in their normal (or even good form) then the match would have been much more in TL's favor.
Hope this is explained better.

thank you tantbagger

i know sgares retired... but hes just that good man, i had to put him on here. hopium he comes back, yk?
anyway, cool to know sliggy was open. Thanks

thank you bobkiller

Thats true, you right
idk then

Big warning before you start reading: I'm not the smartest when it comes to the competitive val scene. I feel i didn't do HORRIBLE, but theres for sure some brainrot induced takes in here. I mean, some of the additions i said could maybe happen are probably people who are not even taking offers, hell if i know, i didnt research THAT much.

Some guy on some other thread asked how the OP would fix 100T and the op's original post said he didnt even know where to start.
I started typing stuff out but it felt too big to be a reply
so heres what I think.
Opinions on my take?
And what do you think will happen to 100T?

This is how I think 100T can change for the better for next Franchising season. This is, of course, subject to change based on what we see at LCQ.

SUBTRACTIONS

Remove
-Derrek

Debatable removal:
-Stellar

Explanation:
1) Derrek, although we know he can be great, has been consistently underperforming this season. I love his personality, the character he brings to the team, and I would LOVE if he could be great like i know he can be, but unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be that way. No disrespect to Derrek, truly, but he just isn't cutting it right now.

Stellar TLDR? Stellar is a mystery block, he's gonna be fantastic or hes gonna be bad - at least right now. Getting a second coach, like when they had Sgares, will likely help him tremendously (and could justify not removing him)... but who knows. Not me. Remove him or dont. I think either could work.
Full stellar explanation down in spoiler

Additions:

(Derrek Replacement possibilities)
+Verno i feel is the most likely, if Derrek were to be released. Incredible player, and his team didn't make ascension, and he plays all the right agents

(tiny chance) if M80 do not win Ascension - eeiu (the reason for eeiu is obvious)
(tiny but slightly larger chance) if TGRD do not win Ascension - trent (the reason for trent is obvious, but hes more likely as a pickup than eeiu due to TGRDs financial instability)

and, if Stellar were to be removed, here's what i could see happening - ordered in terms of how i see the likelihood

• Vanity (He is literally orgless. he is vanity.)
• Kingg (Who knows what changes LEV will make - and if, for some reason, Kingg is available - he can frag well, he can flex, and, very importantly, he does speak english!.... and im pretty sure hes a good igl. LEV's end-of-season performance has me skeptical, though)
• Flyuh (I have a feeling MXM will try to hang onto their roster, but Flyuh fits the role - he can flex, and he, in my opinion, is good enough mechanically and in leadership to play in Franchising.)

Now, the biggest, and most important addition: COACHES!!!!
Here's who i can see potentially joining:

• sgares (Obvious choice for coach, hes goated. goat coach.)
• ENGH (He's a free agent, and hes had success in the past with Gambit. Didn't do too well with TSM but i think that was just because it was TSM)
• Sliggy (is he open to offers? I dont know. But he was a good coach for Lulquid, and i think he could still be. Plus - hes cool.)
• Benkai (This one i think is a very hot take and really unlikely. BUT - he's benched, and he was a very good IGL. I think he could totally be a fantastic coach - however if he does go that route he might just coach prx and probably not 100t.)
• Nitr0 (It would be cool to see him play in T1 again, but i can see him doing this. Its unlikely though i think. I just have a hunch he'd do well as a coach. Not sure though, would prefer those above)

The Final Roster(s):

Most Likely, IMO:

Asuna
Bang
Cryo
(stellar/vanity)
Verno
with Engh and Mikes in the coaching slots

What would be really fucking cool:

Asuna
Bang
Cryo
Vanity
Trent
with MikesHD plus one of Benkai, Engh or Sliggy in the coaching slot

i think he means the time inbetween the end of the regional leagues and the start of Tokyo was short and didnt give teams time to get relaxed and ready to play again.
Or something.
Not 100% on that. Im not rumbledink. I dont know what he meant for sure.

I mean, maybe, but it's not like the breaks inbetween tournaments last year were much longer.

Yes, I'm saying EDG is in better form than Liquid is.
That doesnt mean EDG can't lose to Liquid's poor form, thats just how good Liquid can be.
If EDG, even at their current strong form, played Liquid, at a normal or good form, the match would be much more comfortably in Liquids favor.
TL beat EDG because theyre simply a better team IMO. I'm saying EDG is in good form because theyre playing amazingly, better than past performances.
I'm saying TL is in poor form because theyre struggling to beat EDG, a team who, if Liquid were in normal, or good form, Liquid could beat comfortably - even if EDG is in their current, great form.

EDG is not in good form because they made the match against Liquid close, theyre in good form because they are performing above past perfomances and doing very well, AKA good form.
TL is in poor form because theyre struggling to beat a team that they would comfortably win against, were TL in a normal or good form.

TL is EMEA first seed. They beat FNC. They have the capability to win that match versus EDG quick.
They struggled
EDG is in good form, yes. That doesnt mean TL is not in bad form.

Its a worryingly large majority of teams that are underperforming, thats the issue.
Especially considering the underperforming teams are some of the best, who are, well, usually very very consistently good.
DRX only not made it out of groups once, consistently good but not too up there--> DRX barely make it out of groups and exit playoffs early
LOUD, the previous champs, and the team who almost NEVER loses (and when they do, they usually put up a hell of a fight) --> Exit playoffs 0-2, demolished
NRG, one of the better teams in the world at their normal, good performance --> struggling to beat T1, DRX
et cetera
et cetera
et cetera

Whoopsie

(at least as good as they can be without Something)

AKA a third of all of the teams in the entire tournament.
No shit half of the playoffs teams are the ones in form. Thats why they got to playoffs.
2/3rds of the team in the tournament are looking bad, nothing like how we've seen them in the past.

none of the teams are in proper form bro, except for EDG, PRX (at least as good as they can be without Something), EG, and FNC

LOUD playing poorly ( i didnt watch the game no details from me)
NRG playing poorly (theyre winning but cmon, they can be so much better, and we know it)
DRX... Not even the one consistent guy on their team, Mako, is consistent right now. And it just looks so bad. Theyre so lost
Liquid won, but it was uncomfortably close. Lost split horribly and Map 3 was 13-11
Navi 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 frauds
FUT lost to DRX in their current shitass form

what the hell is going on?
Everyone get the heebie jeebies or something?

this helped :D

i still like him, idk man its odd like theres better but idk why people dislike him so much

but el racisto, Asuna is on that team! you hate asuna. (please dont be a 100T fan, 100T fans are delusional. NOT racist)

is it like FPX in that old tourney where he cant make the first few matches and comes to play later, or is he just 100% not playing the rest of the tournament?
I know this is old and probably already answered but I myself dont know

5cmps made me cry :(

yoooo!!!!
lets go man
captain america
it would be cool if he comes back but i dont want someone to sign him immediately he needs time to get back into val

Thats true. I think a good coach would speed up the move from CS igling to val igling really quick.
Also, i totally agree with most of what you said, but i do still think its a good idea to give him time to re-adapt to the game (mechanically, gamesense wise, and IGLing wise) before he gets signed to any T1 team.

I didnt see kimi no na wa in the HM's and i was about to just fully lose it LMFAO

Your Name and Weathering With You (both makoto shinkai movies) are fucking fantastic
What is also unfathomably good are ghibli movies
Unfortunately i dont feel like ive seen enough anime movies to properly rank a top 5
but you could maybe add some ghibli in the HMs

doesnt change the fact that its been years since hes played the game professionally
and CS igling is very diff compared to val igling because of all the utility, you gotta give him time to adapt to that as well

PRIME LAKIA!! Plz

how about you shut up how about that

Yes

idk bro, a lot of people from my school in the us use d/m/y (except for on assignments where they need to use mdy)

If you’re talking about the thread I think you are, it wasn’t disrespect, it was people saying Ethan wasn’t the best init itw….
Rather than “Ethan sucks” its “no Ethan isn’t the best initiator in the world”

Prime lakia could slot in aswell

We love americas

Ayup
Rivalry is allowe during na vs br though, any other matchup we support each other (ex na vs pacific or br vs eu we support each other)
