There really isn’t a single good reason to get Marved as a sub. If they wanted viewership, they should’ve gotten Tarik. If they wanted to win, they should’ve gotten a tier 2 player
i think it 100% is just for clout since tarik probably declined to play
The only reason is probably that john is going to mainly play smokes. With Victor they would've had to swap the roles a lot (probably Victor senti, cortez smokes, reduxx flex). With Marved you get a one-to-one swap and let cortez play sentinel like he has mostly.
Tarik is probably worse than Marved skill-wise and it's hard to get a tier 2 player on short notice when challengers is going on. + Marved is going to ENC, so there's that.
