I think they should have never subbed out Zest for Foxy9.
It should have been Buzz from the start. Hot take?

Buzz was really good during the regular season and tokyo. He's not been amazing this tournament but hard to justify taking him out.

Foxy9 was mainly a better Jett player than Buzz. for awhile Buzz had consistancy issues on Jett, and was struggling. This is what led to role swaps with buzz going on KJ for a bit, or smokers, etc. That's when they had RB take over the aggressive role for awhile.

I do agree with Buzz's performances not looking spectacular, however it's better to have 5 people being comfortable and playing consistent, than having them all play disorganised.

yeah, kangkang reminded me of yr1 Jett, which I miss as a viewer.
I am enjoying watching a lot more raze than oping tbh. It's not as flashy, but aim duels with rifles are always satisfying to me.

Coordination comes with time which isn't exactly what foxy had

Also it's easier to smooth into a role when the 4 other members are comfortable unlike when foxy played everybody's roles changed

They should have used foxy9 like eg used demon1, totally integrated him into the team

I think it is an hot take. Because Foxy9 can’t handle pressure and Buzz is pretty good at it. Plus what really helped them is putting RB in the duelist role with Buzz. Aim wise there isn’t much difference between buzz and foxy9

There's no point in subbing now that they're doing good, it will just ruin yhe chemistry

They overcooked. Foxy9 had an amazing debut game (because Buzz had personal problem I think and couldn’t play), even got an ace and mfs decided to put him in the roster. They shoulda stuck with the old roster. I think even Stax wanted that from the start I remember in Tokyo press conference

zest has stepped up alot and drx seems way more proactive, that was basically the only difference with foxy9 and zest. when foxy played they were more aggressive and proactive. but now looking at champions they are being way more active without foxy so i dont see a reason to implement foxy as buzz's rifling has a way higher peak than foxy

I really don't think buzz is a better rifler than foxy

I think it's more of foxy takes less favourable duels cuz he's less coordinated with the team

i'd say foxy is a more showy aimer with a flicky style while buzz is just way more fundamental with spraydowns imo i like buzz's rifle more than foxy
