fpx 3-1 blg
BLG will for some reason 3-0 here and then continue to not do anything in actual tier 1
*Muggle will be absent from coaching at today's Evolution Grand Final due to an urgent personal matter at home.
is it time to have a serious conversation about Sword9?
I'm just saying, if we give the bag to Siufat we would literally be a chinese superteam
Siufat had lower rating and lower acs than sword9 in the last 2 stages this would only make the problem worse
it's not all about rating. Obviously he had worse stats cuz wolves were doing fuck all
Using stats to defend Sword9 is very irrelevant in the first place anyway
I think sword9s biggest problem is his fragging. There aren’t really any better igls available and the difference in tyloo with and without him playing was night and day last season
I do think that replacing him is the obvious next step but bringing in siufat is not making anyone a superteam
I'm exaggerating by saying superteam but having a top 3 player at least in every role is pretty close to a superteam.
Regardless I think what they lack most is the ability to comeback and get into a good mental space when they begin to get shaken by their enemies
Sword9 is the whole reason TYL is even remotely good in the first place. He's one of the few legacy IGL available from the CN valorant scene when it was still underground, also I'm gonna be honest his mechanics are not even that bad
the thing is I like Sword9 but his mechanics are objectively not good and no he isn't the whole reason Tyloo are good considering how good the other 4 are. His accolades don't matter if he can't win rn. I'm not saying he needs to be cut atm, but him going to a coaching spot (what he was supposed to be in the first place) might be ideal
I mean have you seen TYL without Sword9? The team (even with those 4) were totally lost until he joined and started IGLing for them, that's when they finally started climbing in CN
And idk I still think Sword9 mechanics are objectively pretty decent, I mean even if he isnt as good as the rest of his team, he's shooting better than Nobody and Chichoo
