no real competitors besides katarina, another publicity roster
no real issue with that just that the expectations should be that it is for fun/publicity and recognition rather than to win

I just checked all of the VLR pages for these players (I assumed they were streamers again, which is my fault) and they are actually good upcoming talent. That is my bad, I actually kinda like this roster now and Toast giving them a chance. Apologies.

Regardless if it’s bc budget or not I’m glad they are giving some less known people chances. Plus kat should’ve been signed ages ago she’s fucking crazy.

feel bad for them, another publicity roster instead of getting an actual competitive one (which is fine, creates hype gets people watching) but man these players are just getting thrown into the spotlight just to be ridiculed because they aren’t gonna go far, it’s fine with the team before considering they all were big content creators, don’t know if these players who don’t have any exp are gonna be okay with playing under pressure like this… (look how the challengers roster got mauled on twitter)

How is signing 4 unknown people a publicity roster? Isn’t it quite literally the direct opposite. They are taking a hit on recognition to give 4 cracked players a chance

yeah taking random players and giving them a huge org is a publicity stunt, this team won’t win you have to know that, 2/5 actually have real experience the rest could be considered ranked players

We all “knew” EG wasn’t gonna win shit.
We all “knew” C9 wasn’t gonna win shit.

Yeah it’s a massive gamble signing these players but to claim they did it for popularity, so they can seem like they are Jesus or something for giving these players a chance is braindead.

Toast is a genuine dude and wants to see people who deserve to win win. He ran an absurd deficit he could care less about publicity

i just feel like he was forced to do this after the cringe backlash of signing content creators to get more recognition, i just don’t wanna see these players get bashed by idiots because they don’t win a game. i really do like the GC scene i just don’t know if these players will be capable of handling what these people will say if yay couldn’t.

DSG GC roster fan base was incredibly supportive and I trust it will stay that way.

I understand the concern is there that they are put under too much pressure but I don’t think toast would sign these players without good faith in their ability to succeed.

i think everything you said is correct, but i also still stand by my point of view. they deserve to be showcased, just hope the people understand that if they can make people that have been competeing at the top level for years talk about the backlash and mental struggle of playing for dsg, imagine what they can do to players who have 0 exp without anyone ever talking about them.

those players got backlash MOSTLY cuz they were top level players
ofc people are gonna start shit if the esports player of 2022 plays in t2 only to lose every single match...oh and they kept making roster changes every week....
not saying the gc team wont get hate but itll start dying out and theyll just be another gc team like any other
no one reasonable should be expecting this team to beat a v1 or a sr

Yeah unfortunately the players who don't play up to the standard the viewers set for them will most likely get shit on. Really sucks considering that I think Toast has great intentions of making rosters for fun and recognition for the scene, which in theory is a good idea. However the players getting ridiculed happened last time he made a roster and unfortunately could happen again. Hoping this time it changes though.

They might get shit on and ridiculed so it would be better for them to just turn down offers and never try

Not at all, I think they should take any opportunity they can. I'm moreso saying that it sucks that they have to deal with the ridicule in the first place due to the viewers having extreme expectations.

happens to everyone, even the GOATs like yay and marved.

I'm sure they would have chosen another career path if it really affected them that much

#26

and it's still true for those players that being constantly ridiculed and having insane expectations constantly pushed on them is wild. however, comparing Marved and Yay who are seasoned players and competitors to 3 of the players on this team who have little to no pro experience diving into a massive streamer's team in front of thousands is completely different. they might not know how much it will affect them or how bad it will potentially be.

i %100 hope they rock it and do some crazy run, but really hoping if they lose toast actually keeps the team and develops the players rather then having them lose and get mauled by 13 year olds only to be dropped after.

Pretty decent roster considering the NA gc landscape, with most of the big players already locked in for the season.

Core of unstable-hannah-katarina who qualified for the astral clash
https://www.vlr.gg/event/1378/astral-clash-2023/virtual-qualifier-playoffs

katarina formerly of v1, hannah formerly of geng.

unstable has been grinding some of the gc cash cups and has made some decent runs.

nathn a player who has experience on sqn 2.0, a pretty legit t2/3 roster

misu is probably the biggest question mark.

Huijinyong is a good pickup as a coach. part of the oresports coaching setup and has gc experience.

yeah i was just making a joke, this isn’t meant to sound harsh in any way but most of those tournaments you’re playing plat-immo players who are just casual gamers, wish they could separate the “main gc” event stats from the lower tier tournaments because their stats are actually better playing the real events
