Losing against a new team as already having a core since the start of the year is kinda crazy when you think about it. They got outaimed in a lot of situations and strats weren’t the main focus of this tournament as we all saw.
If tou have to be competitive this current roster is not the solution in my opinion, i was sceptic about alexiiik but yesterday he proved me wrong even tho he play bad today, inconsistency is fixable especially for a 19y duelist, shao is still insane, hiro is also incredible, ruxic looks a bit uncomfortable since a bit of time and replacing him could be an option. ange1 should be out by the end of the year.
Stage 2 will tell us but a great rebuild around hiro and shao (maybe alexiiik if he does good in stage 2) should be the main focus.
If alexiik doesn’t perform well in my opinion the rebuild should have a heavy carry or a great entry duelist, a younger igl to bring some firepower and a great flex.
i have some options :
duelist - pa1ze/purp0 (depends how he plays in JL)/Izzy/ Sayf if he comes back.
IGL : Starki (EP) / Rose (BCF, i just dk about his english) / roxie (Valiant).
Flex : not a lot of options in my mind but DaviH looks like a good one, no need if shao backs to recon and just keep ruxic.
Coach staff is also questionable, low or average winrate after timeouts and progression as a team is a big ?
AlexRr - from EP looks like a knowing guy, just won emea t2 and if they can get him + starki its perfect.
For AC they could stay with chippy (dont rly know his work and what did he bring) or try ange1 if he wants to.
tell me your opinions and suggestions about this roster!
Navi rebuild
Core :
Ruxic
Hiro
Shao (if he re-signs)
Add:
Star duelist ( comeback, sayf)
IGL
That’s the main idea, if m8 doesn’t stay in franchise next year navi should sign him the day after they get relegated.
If alexiiik can find a consistent good level as he showed yesterday it’s also a good choice to keep him.
pa1ze is in my opinion extremely underrated, he plays in mena and farms but last year he did rly good in DIA, also he is not full time rn so if he can find a t1 stability, leave uni i will not be shocked about him becoming a top tier duelist in emea.
if you watch gammax games they have a different playstyle, alexiik relies to much on his mechs and in bad days he looks like lost meanwhile paize is a smarter guy in his way of playing with great mechs. if you can’t watch gammax games and see what i mean just look at his vlr stats this year and last one, but also ranked stats as they mean a lot in the current state of the game where all the new prodigies are « ranked demons »
Ain’t reading allat
Anyways kick ange1 all the other players have so much potential they are being stunted like crazy
ange1 is an issue but not the main one, no need to comment for saying shit and no constructive feedback
