the fact that GlobeX will have to rot in T2 for one more year is infuriating, he would have been a perfect 1 to 1 for Keiko
its not really dumbass logic
if a player is standout in tier2, people will trial and try get them, best example is ruxic, bro trialed for almost all the T1 teams in the 2024 offseason other than like fnc and TH
you pbb took the worst example possible cuz ruxic definitely had a bad reputation of immature and toxic kid before, and he still got trials and eventually got to Navi
i really dont understand what you mean with wayne is 1235211 miles away like what does that have to do with anything?
seeking an import in a region so far away, who requires a buyout as well afaik, when you have the exact same player in your own region and who is known for having a similar playstyle to keiko is certainly a choice. Not a bad one by any mean, but definitely not the most logic one either
Wayne is a good played I think Wayne and globeX both could have been on the roster
that's not my point, he abviously is very good and I am not questioning that
im pretty sure they trialed him he also trialed for M8 and probably other teams if no one wanted him he just shat the bed or teams saw things in him that they didnt want.
he trialed for M8s yes, it's the only one that I saw I'm pretty sure. But it looks like M8s wanted a smokes IGL precisely
wayne is good tbh i think mindfreak was in a disadvantage situation
it's not that at all. Wayne fits the keiko role a lot better than Mindfreak would've
is this a good replacement for keiko?
kinda feels sad for mindfreak…that would be great if tl picked him, but it is what it is
downgrade from Keiko but it's hard to replace a player like him 1 for 1
I mean GlobeX and Wayne were the only comparable players for the role.
GlobeX he's looked a lot better on the duelists and has had an pretty good run with the smokes agents. Wayne is a phenomenal player who hasn't played duelists as much
Tbh, I do feel like they needed a player with more smokes experience than duelist, but still needing the experience of both in some maps maybe, cuz miniboo and kamo kinda fill the role of duelist, but I still have no idea how this version of TL will work
with Wayne it's now
Wayne (Smokes/Flex)
Miniboo (Duelist)
Nats (Sentinel [IGL])
Kamo (Initiator/Flex)
Waddle (Initiator/Flex) possible as they have been trailing him.
on maps where they want Wayne on Yoru, Waddle would play smokes and Kamo on initiator.
Yep both lime and Waddle. However I think Waddle is probably the better player to take on as it just makes more sense role wise.
