Sayf situation update

According to Lembo, Sayf has started to actively look for offers (Does not mean he is 100% out, but it's not looking good)
He practiced with KOI yesterday but is exploring offers with other teams. The thing here is, Sayf sees with good eyes to be coached by Barbar again and play along trexx, but KOI can not match other offers economically. Therefore Sayf has to like the project enough to pick a lower salary offer like KOI.

Truth is, in EMEA, Sayf does not have that many offers atp, let's think.
Impossible:
BBL, M8 and Fut is impossible
FNC and GIA not making changes as of now
TH has the roster almost finalized

Not very likely:
TL staying can still be an option depending on what they do
VIT just signed RunneR but ig Sayf could join on a different role

3 options left:
NAVI, they have been in talks with ardiis and honestly I think that will be their move. Zyppan is also looking for offers which could leave an open spot for Sayf too, which would make sense an they offer more money than KOI
KC, they are building a very decent roster trying out Redgar and Enzo, and Sayf would fit, but idk if he would wanna be with Redgar again, depends to what point we believe rumors. They also offer more money than KOI
KOI, Sayf needs to like this project the most to choose it

Ig NA is an option

The ardis part is pure speculation at this stage.

I dont see how one of Sayf Ardis or Scream doesnt make it into vct. At least one of them will have to switch role it seems.

And Sayf KOI is clearly THE move competetively

Alright 2 things

The ardiis part is not speculation, he is out of NRG for sure, and Lembo has also said he wants to come to EMEA. The same teams we have discarded for Sayf we can do exactly the same for ardiis, and he has been looking for offers for longer time. He said he is in talks with NAVI, so it is not speculation, but it's definitely not a done deal at all

And about Scream, this is also a Lembo report, but I haven't made a thread about it. The informations is Scream and Nivera still want to be together, but Nivera has been practicing for teams and Scream hasn't. According to Lembo one of the conditions Nivera is putting to sign for a team is that they also sign Scream, preferably as a player, but if this wasn't possible with any team, he asks them to sign him as a CC

That is the proof that he is practicing, everything else I have added is from his stream. Lembo is a reputable reporter

i was having fun at the waterslide when suddenly i noticed a big shadow covering the entire pool i looked up and there i saw him, Ardiis. He was coming straight for me, he jumped into the pool and the velocity of the wave that followed knocked me unconcious.

When i woke up i was chained in a cold and dirty room and there he was, streaming the popular shooter game VALORANT on Twitch while talking to his chat, somehow he managed to say the word "bro" 254 times in just 3 sentences how is that even possible?? I quickly realised that the chains were actually made of chocolate, confused (and mainly hungry) i started licking and sucking them as fast as i could and managed to crawl out of the room -that i presumed was probably his mothers basement- while remaining unseen.

I searched around the house for an exit and i quickly found the front door. As soon as i exited the building i saw a horde of angry Brazilians holding blowtorches and pitchforks chanting at ardiis and calling him a racist and a loser. I didn't really care so i tried to get out of the scene as soon as possible but just as i was about to step out of the house, ardiis put his enormous hand on my shoulder and whispered with a soft and melodic tone in my ear "You're not going anywhere pumpkin pie" and "Daddy's gonna take care of this swifly". He stepped out of the house and suddenly yelled "WATCH THIS" as he flamboyantly dashed into the air and suddenly made 5 knives materialise around him. He used the knives to effortlessly tap every single brazilian in the area.

I was so afraid, blood was spilled everywhere. When it all was over ardiis looked in my direction and i knew that it was over, if they didnt stand a chance, then i wouldnt either, so i just gave up. Ardiis started walkingin my direction each step making the ground shake. When he got to me he just sat down on me saying that i got cold and he needed to warm me up. After a while he took me inside the smelly basement again and took his clothes off. He started smelling me and licking my ear, and then he suddenly got very embarrased and told me i can just leave.

Turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding, this whole time he thought that i was a chocolate egg and he wanted to eat me. The disappointment on his face when he realized the mistake he had done was palpable, a tangible testament to the depth of his sorrow.

Yeah KOI has an standard/low budget rn and KC is actually putting some big bucks in and offering a shit tone of money. Like KOI is one of the orgs paying less, but KC is not at the bottom, their budget is pretty large

And yeah, even tho a NAVI with Sayf seems really strong

How can Nivera ask that of orgs, while scream isn't putting in the effort of trialing wtfff

It’s not that Scream doesn’t wanna try out, I imagine it’s more something related to the orgs only wanting Nivera and not Scream, and Scream being very short on options

ardiis' best agent is jett and she's dead and he can't play raze (his kayo is v good tho)... and sayf is much better on op than ardiis

Ardiis would need to really learn many other agents in this offseason cause IMO duelist should go to him in that case. And that would be a gamble. How do we know he will perform on skye/fade ?

I believe it could be both, they kinda complement each other, Redgar’s strength is start calling and Enzo’s is mid rounding. We’ll see tho. KC looking nice

Same reporter who said all this said yesterday Zyppan is actively looking for offers, either because he wants to leave, believes will get benched or has already been benched. There is no really way of knowing but him leaving is a possibility

He does serve a very specific role on a team, a very limited agent Pool of mostly none meta duelist and can’t Op. While he is top noch mechanically it is a big commitment for a team, specially if he also comes in a pack of 2

That is what NaVi needs. Ardiis seemed like the only one who was challenging ANGE1's ideas and overall seemed vocal when rest of NaVi (minus Shao maybe) seems pretty quiet and just follow. Could be wrong tho

Hard disagree on the agent pool. He played support champs really well on KC actually. And his Jett and Raze have been good too. He was the best lcq player on Raze...

No, he was not the best Raze at LCQ, and even tho it has improved, it is not good enough to justify picking him up
And about the the support champs, he has played a decent Kayo, but with pretty poor utility and 1 map of Skye. That is definitely not playing support agents
