Mindfreak

Would there be any team in need of mindfreak or he's t2 material now?

RRQ -xffero +mindfreak

better than any controller available on any other team that isn't g2/prx/drx

edit: also geng, respect on my boy karon

he's good but not THAT good

Edit - A list of better controllers:

EMEA: Ruxic, Keiko, Suygetsu,
AMER: s0m, valyn, v1c, kingg (maybe)
APAC: f0rsaken, karon, DH, Bangkok Sylvan, MakO
CN: Rushia, Smoggy, (I could name more but idk whether to consider some players flex or controllers)

This might be the easiest answer to this

he is good enough to replace anyone that isn't named mako, valyn or karon

quit the glaze bro, mindfreak will end up like benkai only teams like team secret or GE would even consider him

I hate to admin it but i share the same view, unless mindfreak cook something big only lower tier 1 would consider him. Im still holding on to the nostalgia of what he was but not blind enough to see where he is rn.

ill give u s0m, f0rsaken, karon and mako but the rest absolutely not

not even consistent in your own takes since you didn't even include valyn.
I thought hard about this and I think in terms of utility he's probably an edge ahead of suygetsu and keiko but they are way more consistent fraggers that they'd get more value. Ruxic is actually just the clear best controller in EMEA (itw too but navi are a 2 man team) and I say that with my bias for Keiko.

V1c and Kingg might be sneaks but I think the argument for either is convincing enough.
DH/Sylvan/mako are just better and rushia/smoggy at least look convincing enough regionally that if they convert that into internatonals they'd be beast (2026 foreshadowing)

He's decent and not flashy imo

• Good Utility as a controller.
• good at clutch situation.
• Experience on international level.
• But his fire power wasn't as explosive as stars player ( yk what i mean ).

Like he's doing his job properly but there's nothing more than that, so only a team with lacks a proper controller that gonna recruit him. 🤔

Ruxic and Keiko for sure, I don't think Suygetsu looks nearly as good on controller as he does on senti. So for controller I'd probably go mf. S0m, Valyn for sure too, could see an argument for V1c and Kingg, but not as clear. F0rsaken, Karon, Mako yeah, but DH haven't seen enough of and it's a bit disingenuous to specify bangkok for sylvan. CN with Rushia and Smoggy yeah.

That said, he'd probably go to an APAC team, most likely RRQ. Since PRX won't put him back in probably, and GenG, DRX have better smokes, T1 is full korean, Talon is full Thai, DFM/ZETA mostly Japanese. Team Secret might be an option?

yea pretty much agree with everyone you said but idk like yes T1 did start doing better in stage 2 but i dont think their problems in stage 1 were on him alone

If wolves are looking to make roster changes I guess +mindfreak could work?

keiko is definitely better than him and you'd be delusional to think otherwise

i literally did include valyn

g2 is literally in my first comment

also he is literally better than everyone i didn't mention

Oh no, I don't think stage 1 problems were DH or Sylvan's fault (don't remember exactly when they subbed Sylvan out) - I just find it a little odd to specify Bangkok Sylvan. I think the system itself was fucked, and that led Sylvan to under perform in certain situations - Sylvan/MF are very similar players so Idk who I'd take over the other honestly.
