Assuming managers aren't idiots is asking for too much in esports unfortunately ridiculous how small the number of them that are semi competent at minimum

Its kinda disrespectful to say this to someone who have spent his whole time trying to go pro into tier 1 and eventually he did for a short period of time. He was avoiding any kind of controversy and was propably a good teammate in terms of being friendly and passionate. He have most likely put more effort into something then you have ever done.
I also believe that Trexx might suit better for TL but your message is just horrendous.

I was going to say you’re proving the stereotypes about your flag (for valorant community), but honestly, the Americans I’ve met irl are some of the nicest people I know. So you’re just a douchebag.

Serial was solid, but when you get the chance to sign trexx, it's hard to justify keeping him.

The current meta revolves around 2 initiators Serial couldnt fit there. He was competing with Nats on the sentinel role. Liquid needed something different to help with the new meta and trexx was simply too good to ignore. Also i think that serial came to liquid casue they thought that 2 sentinel comps would be the future (they were wrong).

He should try again with a lower level team. It wasnt enough at this stage

Tier 2 and coming back stronger, ez. Still so young and very talented.

From what I've heard is that Serial is insanely silent during comms and just plays his game. But yeah... I think that's what several people said about trexx as well + that he tilts af.

But who knows? It's not our duty to solve that.

I'm very excited about TL and how good they eventually become.
