look im not saying that benjy is going to go to heretics, but there must be a reasonable explanation as to why benjy would choose to leave a team that has quite frankly done quite well in their regional league? it doesnt make sense unless it was to pursue greater opportunities, and that is supported by the fact that the team itself isnt dissolving, its just him leaving. i think i can make a reasonable assumption based on what he tweeted, and the context of the tweet (roster issues in franchising etc).
Heretics really are dumb or what? No hate for Benjyfishy, but why him (outside of clout)? I would imagine there being many others who are unsigned and who have shown better stuff lately. Really makes you question their decision making if this happens considering the mess of a team they built for this season of VCT.
Point is that this just seems like a clout move if anything. There are multiple players that would "deserve" a shot on a franchise team instead of him. I just don't think that Benjyfishy is ready for tier 1 and someone else could do better given the chance (obviously just quessing how he would perform). Them favoring clout over performance is just really shitty, especially for a team playing in a limited league.
And I never understood their tought process behind the building of this current team. I'm not hugely against Mixwell, but he felt like a clout/marketing signing if anything. And rest of the roster was built out of players who had pretty weak 2022 and were on their prime in 2021. At least I think they could have built a better team with more potential.
But this is just my opinion, obviously I don't know what is happening behind the scenes, in scrims etc.
