KOI situation

According to Spanish Leaker Lembo, there was a meeting in the recent days to tell the players who is continuing for next year.

Trexx and Sheydos were told the club wants them to stay and counts with them for next year. (Ig another team could still sign them but doesn't seem likely anymore and they would have to pay)

Starxo was told he will also most likely continue but the certainty of this didn't seem as strong as the other 2 so he seems to be in for now but could change at some point, following the tryouts starting tomorrow

The situation for Koldamenta and Wolfen is different, both were told yesterday the club does not intend to stick with them for next year. that being said they will be allow to take place in the tryouts of the team in case they don't find anything better.

As I said tryouts start tomorrow and we'll see how it develops it could change, but this is the initial situation

7th highest rated player in Lcq

7th highest rated player in Lcq

7th lowest rated player in regular season

Valgod [#2]

He helps a lot with the mid rounding and is a very experienced guy

rrry0 [#5]

7th highest rated player in Lcq

probably because his agent pool isn't good and he only played skye in lcq

skye didn't get nerfed yet tho and she was one of the most op agents at champs so starxo has the chance to pop off again

kold gotta retire at this point

good decision keep T and Sheydos
this team look like EG early year, missing some piece

rhixcal [#9]

kold gotta retire at this point

No, he'll be in tier 2 and try to comeback next year, like Enzo this year or bonecold the year before

asdfgh [#3]

he is not the probem

he kinda is. He had a crazy ego and wanted to play raze at some point, even to Trexx has a 1000x better Raze

Mortadelo [#11]

No, he'll be in tier 2 and try to comeback next year, like Enzo this year or bonecold the year before

when scream + nivera 'll be in tier 2

Actually pretty good roster moves

Good. Seems like they are aware of the issues

ALL good decisons.

Pretty solid.

Trexx and sheydos were the players to build around.
Issue is now we need a good igl.

Starxo is someone im 50/50 on.
I think he could prove to be a solid piece if he stays.
He could be upgradeable potential but it's not worth the risk.

bro get scream and nivera +sheydos and trexx + a good igl and u will smoke teams next season , i dont see anyone better in the market

Yup I'm also worried as I think Enzo is not gonna be possible and I don't want Bonecold under any circumstance. I really can't think of anyone, and in a certain way that might explain the starxo part as we know he does great mid rounding so they might wanna keep him in case they can't find a pure IGL

in ur dreams bozo

UnrivaleD [#18]

Yeah but a good IGL like who, Enzo apparently is not an option

they probably want to get bonecold igl and starxo mid round caller + cned

Hewcho [#22]

Def not rebuilding the old Acend, doubt that is the move, it already failed

Mortadelo [#21]

Yeah but a good IGL like who, Enzo apparently is not an option

why you think enzo not an option? i mean if he sees these names i dont think he will say no, also he's not that type of player to play with his country men only , throughout his career he played in international rosters, unless u know smth im not aware of (like a signed deal with kc?)

Mortadelo [#23]

if they want old acend they need kiles and zeek aswell + did they pracc before with acend players?

UnrivaleD [#24]

It's not a matter of he not fitting in, it's because both French teams are going all in for him and offering a lot of money, and the feeling is that he will take that route. That is what Lembo also said on stream

Hewcho [#25]

No, tryouts start tomorrow. I'm saying that that is precisely not what they want, they need to avoid it as it's been proven it doesn't work anymore. So Bonecold and cNed are probably not their options

With a few changes here and there, KOI might contend for Masters Madrid next year. The core of Sheydos, trexx and starxo is pretty good
It would be hype for a Spanish org to play in a tournament located in Spain

Would be amazing but the chance is low xD

oh i see , unlucky then, i see him as only decent free igl in eu market

UnrivaleD [#30]

Same, he is the only good option as of now

I see Redgar coming as IGL

Creaz [#32]

I see Redgar coming as IGL

That would be a very solid move but I seriously doubt it. Also atp I'm just going full Russian, get Jemkin or Bisk for the duelist and look for Russian talent there is more than enough, or even Kristal as IGL if you can't get Redgar

Mortadelo [#19]

If they cant get Enzo yaboilewis is still a great pick so they should be fine on the igl front. Maybe even Redgar if he leaves TL

Mortadelo [#21]

Yeah but a good IGL like who, Enzo apparently is not an option

yaboilewis and redgar

Mortadelo [#33]

That would be a very solid move but I seriously doubt it. Also atp I'm just going full Russian, get Jemkin or Bisk for the duelist and look for Russian talent there is more than enough, or even Kristal as IGL if you can't get Redgar

Idk, I dont see Redgar in Liquid next season and Sheydos still in KOI, I see that move kinda possible ngl. I know about Bisk but idk much about Jemkin or Kristal (never seen them play)

Mortadelo [#33]

oh yeah i forgot kristal. good shout. Theres plenty good igls around. Koi should be really good

Congo1 [#35]

yaboilewis and redgar

If Redgar ends up FA ofc but I wouldn't be sure. Yaboilewis is a tier 2 option that is fine but there are others, nothing too exciting imo

Also i don't think koldamenta was the problem.??

Creaz [#36]

Idk, I dont see Redgar in Liquid next season and Sheydos still in KOI, I see that move kinda possible ngl. I know about Bisk but idk much about Jemkin or Kristal (never seen them play)

I'm really high on Jemkin and Kristal, Jemkin as duelist is not doing the same something did, but very very similar. I have watched most of their games and he is pretty similar imo, really really good. Kristal is an IGL with an amazing firepower and flexibility, but obviously I haven't heard the comms

Valuenjoyer [#39]

Also i don't think koldamenta was the problem.??

I think he was part of the problem, not all of it, team could have worked with him and other pieces. But he is the leader of the project so therefore has to be hold accountable, he'll be back

Valuenjoyer [#39]

Also i don't think koldamenta was the problem.??

I think he was absolutely part of it though

Ok I'm a little sad about wolfen and koldamenta but they didn't meet expectations. But come on, get starxo out. He has underperformed immensely, maybe worse than wolfen did. Otherwise I think the new koi roster has potential, depending on who they pick up.

If someone better us found in the tryouts that start tomorrow starxo can still be out

Will keep an eye on them, ty for the reference ^^

On other news of the day according to Barbar 25 players will be tryouted. Link is one of the names but not likely

kinda suprised to hear starxo might be kept with trexx on the roster, but I'm glad to hear that

Sign killes bonecold zeek, keep sheydos and starxo, coach barbar and engh. This team will be better than fnc

Valgod [#2]

Starxo most likely stay???? Get this terrorist out of tier 1 pls!!!

bro if you watch koi play you know he is not the problem.

the team in lcq was horrible with their man advantage and just throwing away lives

usually wolfen and sometimes trexx and koldamenta.

starxo and sheydos are the best players on the team with their knowledge of taking duels and handling different situations

Sk00d [#47]

kinda suprised to hear starxo might be kept with trexx on the roster, but I'm glad to hear that

Trexx could be full time raze

Mortadelo [#50]

Trexx could be full time raze

I hope so, doesn't change the fact there is a role overlap currently between them. but as KOi didn't have too much time before the season to prep last time, I hope starxo commits to a role switch this offseason if he ends up staying

nutab1e [#4]

I was actually impressed by his performance this year

🚨 ❗️ ⚠️ ⚠️ WARNING: THIS COMMENT IS AN NA PSYOP TO CONVINCE YOU THAT STARXO IS GOOD WHEN HE ACTUALLY ISN'T ⚠️ ⚠️ ❗️ 🚨

I don't think it's that big of an issue

barbarr stays and kolda leaves? thought they were a pair

Mortadelo [#53]

I don't think it's that big of an issue

honestly before the leagues started my prediction was that teams with role overlaps will have major issue, and I think most of them did, at least at the start, with KOI being one of the worst examples
