was there a reason for him getting dropped? i didnt see anything when it happened but i didnt look hard enough maybe
atleast for me he was the standout player 4 navi so the announcement was weird 2 me, not that alexiik is bad by any means though

and guess what all of these players apart from filu were kicked for being ass and we all know if koi could change out filu they would so i wouldnt exactly call these players high bars to clear
they are not high bars to clear but they are 3 duelists that are worse than your "worst duelist of the league" but you didnt mention them cuz they from eu and not from NA
my bad for a slight bit of hyperbole point still stands though i think koala had his chance in tier 1 and failed to deliver
ok true but they couldve worked out roles/dropped someone else? also i think he was getting better as entry, they looked promising 4 stage 2
yeah. But navi is big org rep wise & so much talent is aval in eu. He was nepo pick with happy anyway..
Not true he literally got interviewed after a match saying they asked him would he join if Happy wasn’t chosen and he said yes. He had other offers almost confirmed but NAVI was 100% so he said he took it to be safe
I’ve said this already but koala had to play WEIRD comps in a yoru breach Tejo meta where he had double smokes for example and little to no initiator help and still topped fkpr split 1..
I’m sure it was just a disagree in view of the game between him and ANGE1. All of his past teammates have said he’s incredibly positive and a great player. I hope he can show what he can do next season and I think it’s unfortunate people saw him not show what he’s capable of
this make sense yeah, tejo meta did look weird for them
and yeah, im really hoping he gets signed next year. if someone doesnt theyre just trolling
He’s streamed and said he’d love to play duelist again because he knows he can do way more and I’d love to see it (he’s been grinding neon like crazy so to have that added is great) he didn’t show his Jett which is by far his best agent this season so people didn’t get the best idea of him.
He also said he’d be open to smokes as he’s played it a ton on M80 and said he’s learning flex if he needs to igl on either of them.
I’m a HUGE fan of him so I’m biased but having a player that’s willing to give up duelist and go whatever a team needs is very selfless and he’d bring incredible value.
completely agree yeah, he's a big inspiration to me so im also biased lol, so much untapped talent with him. (he would've been farming americas already if m80 didn't have 2 play bind on map 5)
The Nismo koala duo needs to happen again I don’t think it will though.
Ya him and M80 would’ve been great in Americas. Next season I hope he comes back to NA even if it’s not as duelist
Those were the types of teams I was thinking about also. Even LEV for example I could see a -okeanos +Koalanoob type of move
Scapegoated for a bad meta read by Angel n co… not playing tejo till w3 was criminal n even then it was just pearl… they where breach fade or kayo sova pilled at the wrong time
Also during the set yoru up meta with breach tejo, at some point ruxic had the most fkpr attempted on navi… he did overtake him later tho
Koala was NOT at all their best player. Shao, Ruxic and Hiro all cleared him across all stages. Stats are very clear about this.
He was okay. They wanted to improve the team. So he was kicked
Statistically him and Ruxic were the best lol. Koala also was highest fkpr in the entire league running comps that literally do not help him at all def or atk side.
I get you’re hating on him because he’s from NA but you don’t need to lie. He’s gone and a team you enjoy has a solid player in alexik to replace him. No need to slander when both players have incredible passion and are very good. He works so hard to provide for his fiancé and kid.
I am really not. Stage 1 crashies carried FNC with Kaajak. If tthats the truth is will say it. But it isnt for Koala. I will edit this comment with compiled stats in a minute as proof
Edit:
VCT stage one: Shao 1.07, Ruxic 1.06, Hiro 1.01, Koala 0.99
EWC: Hiro 1.26, Ruxic 1.17, Shao 1.14, Koala 0.93
he was also the worst by in terms of rar (1.5 is the "average" for a t1 player)
Stage 1: Shao 3.1; Ruxic 2.4; Hiro 1.7 and koalanoob 1.4
Still a scapegoat... but also the most logical change when your goal is to reach internationals this year
Oh another good person arguments
we know koala is a good person but he wasnt even top3 in navi so stop the cap and say u love his personality and hope that he finds a new home to earn money for his family
stand out?
At very least ruxic and hiro were miles better than him
Just sybau...
he was a clear scapegoat. He wasn't great but definitely not the reason navi were shit
he was 4th best player as a main duelist he was one of the reasons why navi were shit
ange1 is the reason. There could be Alfa and Kajaak on the team that Navi would still not be good. As long as he'll be there they won't do anything period. Also Navi refuses to run Yoru for some fucking reason even when their duelist is an og Yoru main. He was set up to fail
I love the stats argument because when you watch the games you see this guy running through countless util in a breach Tejo meta when NAVI were running double smokes or some whacky stuff. Sure he wasn’t the greatest that he could play but holy was it rough to watch him dry fight almost everything on executed
100%^
Players like Kamo struggled way more during stage 1 for example, and TL was still able to preform to a very high level
Blaming a player who was ever so slightly worse than the support players (while your IGL is having a performance that makes Avova look good) is just lazy
