Tho I agree the quality of players wasn't the best I have to say and she has admitted it herself in an interview that her idea and direction for the team got blinded by the split 1 results.
I thought she was just trolling with vetos she kept letting the other teams best maps through expecting us to be able to anti them properly and it never happened we got slapped everytime
I never understood this line of thinking. Sure they couldve beaten G2 to get to Toronto, but then what? they wouldve just lost both their toronto games and have been MIBR 2.0 at that tournament.
Nobody on EG 2025 was good enough to compete for globals, so they got dropped. Same with C9, 100T, and any other team. You keep the players you think you can win big with, and you drop the players you cant. You replace those dropped players with guys who you think might have the potential to win globals. Rinse and repeat
Well they went on an incredible run and nearly beat the team that was supposed to win before they fell to T1.
You don't understand how much momentum based and confidence based this game is if they won that series you have no idea how well they could've performed.
The same goes for DRX they barely made champs and then built up momentum and confidence throughout group stage and then got top 3.
The problem as I have stated is other than ICY the other 4 were quite decent and showed promise but the picks and bans and the comps trolled them hard.
I don't think they would of won Toronto or anything but they would've done their best.
I get the 100T moto is to Drop players who people think aren't good enough to compete in globals but there is wayy to many variables when it comes to teams to make it that simple.
"As for Jacob "icy" Lange and Phat "supamen" Le, both players are reportedly in discussions to remain with the North American organization though EG is currently running trials across all five positions, meaning nothing is set in stone for 2026."
It is kinda funny how the person everyone wanted gone has kinda stayed the longest lmao
yay derrek and nature were by the best on that roster even though supamen is incredible he did struggle in alot of games.
