We are actually gonna be worse next year. HOW WE ARE GOING TO BE WORSE NEXT YEAR. I feel like 2026 will be like 2024 TL or maybe even worse. Like we have a good core with nAts, Keiko and Trexx so surely surely surely TL are making good roster moves or even keeping the same roster and are building a pathway for success. I'm a humble and reasonable fan so I won't even ask for an international but like surely I can ask for linear improvement or maintaining status quo. So please can someone tell why why why exactly I have been hearing the exact opposite from TL, like at the barest minimum we needed to retain nAts and Keiko yet I've been hearing Keiko is exploring offers from other teams???? There are all these rumours of signings and moves other teams are making so why is the team in EMEA with the most untapped potential so quiet?? Maybe we are waiting for ascension but then what if Keiko gets convinced to join another team while we are being quiet. WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT IS GOING ON. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I CANT RETURN TO THE DAYS OF 2024 ENOUGH WITH THESE BUDGET ROSTER OR IF TL ARE GOING TO BE BUDGET CAN THEY AT LEAST FREE NATS TOO. I joined TL with nAts, I won't abandon him but watching vct has been breaking me. Chronicle won 2 trophies when he joined FNC meanwhile nAts was stuck at TL. TH a team of rookies were matches, maps, round even away from a trophy whilst TL had regressed and were stuck at home. Thats fine 2025, our year for sure so tell me why we couldn't replicate any of that, we got grouped at all 3 VCT events this year - not mention the fact VIT went and got LESS instead of just freeing nAts. I kept thinking kept deluding myself to believe that this year was merely foreshadowing, we got nAts' a year of IGLing experience, awakened Keiko and even got Trexx so why are we going backwards again??? I can't I don't want to keep doing this anymore. please just free nAts please, Keiko has freedom so surely nAts deserves it too.
I'm crashing out
tbh Idek if we can keep it if we kept our current roster like so many teams in EMEA have potential to be scary. VIT already have the quality, GX/BBL/NAVI are on the up too. And we are only really better than FNC/TH when they aren't in good form.
TL are one of the heaviest hitters when it comes to investing, so they should have the money to either keep or upgrade
Trexx the goat will save TL but I am worried if the rumour is true that he is leaving :(
We done bro, as soon as nats departs from this team ( i hope he doeS) I will just stop the support
Btw where are the rumours that keiko is exploring offers and trexx is leaving ( give link no twitter account))
Its a few things like Keiko's contract running out and him not renewing it and there have been rumours of him trialing for TH among other things

not always the most reliable and also not guaranteed just cuz his spreadsheet said it
wait for like sheep esports to say about keiko or sumn
There were like a million other orgs at EWC as well and u blame liquid, rob moore from sen was very capitalistic in his response saying eSports neeed money
even most saudi esports fans thought ewc was poorly ran btw
meaning it achieved basically nothing for everyone involved
There are still great players left to sign man. Wait and see. Nats+lohan is an attractive package
I know nAts is attractive but there are still a lot of others team with attractive potential, I would say we are probably 4th maybe even 5th in EMEA in terms attractiveness to rookie players. I put TH, FNC, VIT above us for sure and GX are on the up technically
But I mean, Liquid has one of the best facilities in terms of emea orgs, apart from maybe vit or fnc
well 4th-5th is already a very good spot to be at. Now just diff them by managing better.
If keiko leaves: Loita, audaz, globex, slaughter, shin
Duelist: Comeback, Miniboo, Marteen, Something, Aspas, Zekken, Fangeer, Izzy, Wanzeru, bipo
Flex: kamo roleswap?, larok, cyvoph, yassien, Narrate
Initiators: DaviH, Yohpa, qu1ckz, doma
you can build really really promising rosters still. Rookies, established players, imports. Many possibilities
Bro, chill, the so called keiko exploring options with th, was a phone call... th weber said that it was only a phone call, nothing more. If trexx is leaving, it's not too bad, we have a solid core of kamo keiko and nats, we can get lar0k or cyvooph or whoever else
Every VCT player is looking at other projects because traditionally it's the correct thing to do when people start talking about projects.
