He was one of just two re-signees entering 2023, alongside Ryad "sh1n" Ensaad. Newzera has struggled to stand out in KCorp's partnered squad, only cracking 1.00 rating in one of the team's six matches played so far this year. In the last three months, the French player averaged a 0.79 rating.

It's only fair to the other players. Newzera using 50% of his skill drops 50 elims every map

People are gonna be rude to Newzera but I honestly respect him a lot for this. Stepping down is a selfless, team move and I wish the best for him in the future!

poor newzera, probs bullied into leaving :(
this might actually be a W for KC tho, not bc of newzera being out, but bc of scream not IGLing anymore and a coach IGLing instead.
curious to see how it'll go, but feels like it can only go up cuz they're rock bottom rn

Honestly they'd look better if they had a gold player mechanically but was a good igl. They have the talent to win games 4v5 as long as they actually play the game coherently.

Why there are transfer windows in a franchised sport that doesn't have academy teams will always perplex me.

No transfer window = teams will literally cut and replace players every other week. no stability in franchise seems good to you huh

Not only that, but they'll be picking apart tier 2 challengers teams who are also trying to be stable and win ascension, so the whole T2 system would fall apart very quickly from the weekly invasion that would take their best players.

I want this team to succeed, but they're done until the the transfer window opens.

Looking at the their past gameplans (determined by coaching staff plus "IGL" ), it doesn't fill me with confidence that someone from that team will be calling.

The first advice to give to players joining partner team is to stop looking at Twitter and Vlr.

KC needs to sign Enzo and Mistic. Scream and Nivera can play around them, then KC will outperform TH, BBL & KOI

Sh1n will can't bench in this team! My KC ideal team is:
Scream
Nivera
Sh1n
Keloqz
Enzo

It isn't a bad change given their options, but the last competitive match this guy played was three years ago. I agree that they need a change as obviously they seem to be in shambles its just i don't expect this to work whatsoever.
