From what I see, Loud's Split 1 performance has been awful. I have never seen this team be this bad. Yes they are playing with QCK who was supposed to replace aspas and allat but they were fine just a month ago, atleast not this bad. Whatever they had in Ireland needs to be checked by the federal agencies.
But anyways, I feel like even if they do end up deciding on making changes to the roster, like adding in new talents or maybe even changing up their respective roles a bit, it won't be immediate because changing roles do take some time to adapt to and new players will take time to understand what their part is to play in the team. Sitting out Shanghai will let them fix all of these and get ready for Seoul.
There is also the scenario that they do end up choosing on locking in and saving their fate this split only. That case they really have to change up some of their strats because that match against KRU was ugly. They still have two chances against G2 and Sen to qualify for the playoffs with how shit that group is but it won't be easy with their form and their moral going forward.
Aspas left a huge gap in the team which is yet to be filled and it will take time to fill the gaps in the walls. You just gotta give them time. I love Loud as a team and what they stand for, all their passionate fanbase etc etc and I would definately want to see Saadhak prove again why he is rated as highly as he is and take them to their former glory. You just gotta keep your faith in them.
But hey, that's just me, some idiot from India typing what he feels like. If they do something and it ends up working out, I will be happy too. I just want them to rise and prove everyone wrong.
