We all know Koalanoob isn't the reason this team is in the state it's in rn. Sure he wasn't great most of the time and a player of Kajaak's calliber would have pbb carried them to top 3, but the actual problem lies somwhere else.
This team has only got worse since their 2022 heighs. Sure they were pretty good in 2023 but they never achieved anything significant. Nothing shocking tho, it happens to everyone, but then in 2024 they called Ardiis back in, and, whilst he was unarguably still a top tier player the team kept getting worse to the point that they couldn't even qualify to a single International. They somehow managed to kick D00mbros for literally 0 reason at all and of course, as expected, it didn't help them get to champs. Now this year they went through a serious rebuild which is something that I honestly appreciate, taking 3 young talents, but it was still not enough despite a lot of individual brilliance from Ruxic, Hiro and Shao.
Now sure replacing Koalanoob shouldn't be too hard since there should be a bunch of upgrades in emea.
But we all know that there is only one player left who was there throughout all those years and hasn't changed much (all he does is steal Shao's comfort agents) and he, imo, can only be the one accountable for their continuous downfall so it's pretty clear that something has to change in the igling department for them to achieve anything significant again
NaVi serious talk
not even the igl atp
its the weird ass comp cooks they keep doing instead of meta abusing like normal teams
nah meta abusing isnt the way either, apac teams never meta abuse and they have won 3/3 of the latest international events
as much as i hate to say it, i think they need to replace ange1.
find a good t2 igl or just find a free agent.
Zeek has a bad reputation but with what he's been doing in T2 it might be a good shout. I'd prefer an actual rookie tho icl
jas is dogshit
source: i don’t watch emea t2 but kanyefan talks about how bad he is on discord
the cloudberry server isn't a good basis of anything
cloudberry himself can't take any criticism always hating
navis problem in 2024 was management as they were top 3 team in stage 1 and just got cooked since the first game was a KO
they would've made champs if they had kept doombros and were 1 roster change away from winning a trophy.
I don't think he is bad nor good honestly, he was thriving at M80 because of their system and how they were working around his oping but I don't think he is genuinely as good as his stats made him look. With that said Navi's system and read on the meta was probably the worst possible for him to play well and it did make him look worse than he actually is
i actually thought his stage 1 stats were lower than his ability
when statistically compared to other duelists he looks worse than he actually is
If Navi dont make champs ange1 gets kicked. everyone knows that internally. Probably still an asset for middling to lower level teams
ngl navi just sucks every time in like kick off or stage 1 they pop off then they get shit on. i think they should kick ang1e
do NOT diss OUR GOAT ANGE1, he is an icon and the pride and joy of Valorant, just wait until WE celebrate NAVI winning champs after picking up Koalas owner sym! Viva la NAVI
NAVI and NRG are constantly going downhill.
I thought NRG was a good reinforcement when they got mada and Verno, but instantly NRG collapsed.
NAVI should bring in Rank demon.
Are there any players in the vicinity of Rank KD 1.4 in the last 3 ACTs?
Most rookies who are active in any region have a very high Rank KD.
they gotta stop overcooking the comps, this is the exact same problem midmine corp are facing rn
