Was Fnatic’s scouting of kaajak a failure?

Czoaoz

Kaajak’s performance has been very disappointing, and for Fnatic to achieve good results, he needs to improve significantly.

not a bad player just sucks to fill Derke shoes when Derke didn't deserve to be dropped

I think it was a financial issue, if I had to guess vit probably spent a shitton this year and fnc couldn't match the offer

tbh alfajer is unironically way a better duelist than he is,i think it would actually be the best if they swapped roles tbh

then what will kaajak play? with himself? he has never been sentinel

to switch alfajer to duelist you need to switch kaajak to initiator and chronicle to sentinel

Gotta give him time, I only remember fnatic scouting going wrong once and the player wasn’t even bad, just mid

no he was incredible for apeks last year in polaris, it was his first game on an agent he didnt play as much last year with a completely new team and calling structure and youre filling derke's shoes

that said, i think if he doesnt perform he still stays but will be moved off duelist role because he has the aim to stay around

also kaajak wasnt the main problem with fnatic when they played bbl, stop statwatching and watch the actual game

I love the idea of "lets gang on the T2 player after 1 round cause my lord and saviors FNATIC lost to a team that actually looked good but ima ignore that fact because clearly its that 1 players fault and no other reason"

Healthy mindset

yes hes buns. I refuse to believe in people who say "its only been one match its okay he just needs to time". Its been playing fradulent for the entire off season and has had enough time to show that he isnt shit. Its truly unfortunate that for all the game hes played ive never once thought of him to be the good player he was hyped up to be

the "entire off season" if you would be able to read correctly. How do you quote it and still read it wrong

kaajak is in the same position as gyen. looked shit in the off-season and surprise surprise, continued to look shit

Bro from when did a mere 5-6 matches became a whole season event? I know he ain't filling Derke's shoes...but the fact that people are running to judge him so damn quickly is hilarious. He looks like a long prospect. Even if he doesn't perform. He is sticking to this for a while now. Though, he hasn't been terrible, but clearly he looks off.

He feels like a long term prospect because as of right now FNATIC will not qualify for Bangkok. Kaajak is nowhere near the level of Derke and you could see the difference in how Derke entries as opposed to Kaajak. But he's a very solid player.

Kaajak is the greatest valorant player of all time and I definitely didn’t think he wasn’t all that in the start of the year
