"We ask for a loan, we find a player that we like. It was Twisten from BIG, so we had to get that loan going. But there was some miscommunication the org and Riot it felt, because the loan itself was not allowed. So, a few days after we had played with Twisten - we got the news that 'oh, we can't actually do this loan'. So, we had a day to find a player. So, we're rounding up this list, they have to be free agents, looking at all the options, and we ended up on Yacine. I didn't expect that to happen." --- "The misunderstanding was that you were only allowed to take an emergency loan, not a loan with a contracted player. So it had to be like, if Russ was sick, or couldn't perform, or that kinda thing - and that's why it was denied. Initially, we thought we could take a loan, and that's where the miscommunication happened."
- Why Jett and Sage?
"The Jett pick is because earlier, we had Twisten right, we were practicing with him, we had set up a whole game plan, a whole approach to how we wanted to play that map - so due to time, it was very hard to just slot in something else, and then come up with 27 different tactics."
TL;DR: Miscommunication from orgs/rito, Guild players practiced with Twisten for a longer time and then found out they couldn't get him for loan. Had to put Yacine with already existing tactics and game plans that Twisten was supposed to carry out
TL;DR (but again): anlaky bro
NOTE: Not trying to disregard NAVI win today. They played very solid valorant, well earned
