Going brazilian might be the worst decision they have done , there was finnaly a latam tier 2 team that was good in e xolos lazer and lev was going brazilian so if they stick to latam they could have made spanish- speaking star team. Just Imagine
-Keznit
-Darker
-Milted
-Shyy
-Melser

they should have but like half the team was not even registered in vlr so there was no way of predicting that they were that good
Melser is ahh tho but I agree that these fucking morons should have at least picked up mited over fraudhack
Yeah he is ahh but there is no better latam or even spanish speaking smoker than kingg and melser and kingg is loyal to lev
KRU won only 1 international game since franchise started, they needed to do something different
yes
they went full LATAM for 3 years with only heat as an exception in 2024 (which was the season of the only game they won internationally, BLG Champs 2024)
I dont think going brazilian is the worst decision they have done, and they still have Dante and Saadhak there
The worst decision they made is picking up MW and fraudhak. No one gives a f about their nationality, the problem is that they're shit, and that there were clears insane prospects in latam that kru chose not to go for
the best Latam prospects were in LEV academy and 2 of them are now in LEV (blowzin and Neon), ghoul was shit in tryouts, erde is going to LOUD but will miss Kickoff because too young and Miradaninja is too young for the 2026 season
The best LATAM players were already in tier 1 for years, Keznit, Kingg, Mazino, Shyy, Melser, Klaus, nzr, adverso... The same players recycled, but I dont think the other tier 2 LATAM players are much better than those guys
I think you are underestimating the Saadhak + Less core too
It happens
Before Champions 2023 for example, LOUD was losing every scrim to every team, they were even losing 20-2 scrims to Fnatic. When the actual games came around LOUD beat prime Fnatic twice and eliminated them
They had Aspas, but still, scrims are just scrims
Fraudhack has been shit for 2 years straight now and is the reason KC was so underwhelming and unable to reach their potential. Mited and Darker were available but KRU chose Sadhaak and MW!Stats because of pure fanboyism and not because of actual player quality
Less was also unable to carry sadhaak in 24, and unable to carry vitality despite derke being insane as well, i don't see why it would be different now, and even if he does carry they ain't getting better than top6
With all due respect to Mited and Darker, 90% of their careers are just playing against tier 2 LATAM which is arguably the worst tier 2 scene in the Americas sub-regions (NA, LATAM, Brasil. BR and NA won Ascension).
Regardless of how shit Saadhak has been after 2023, him and Less have a lot of experience in the Americas league and internationally
The only weird pick to me is Mwzera, this pick is probably a nepotism nostalgia pick and they should have picked Darker instead, but its not end the world imo
Yes and they smurfed the region all year long. You could mqke the same point about every top vcl japan player considring it's at least as bad of a sub region as latam, and yet their top prispects end up being top player the large majority of the time. Mited and darker proved that they were clearly better than the rest of the region, which is why they deserve to play at a higher level than the guys they've shat on all year long. If we stop geiving chances to top latam t2 players you might as well just delete the whole region cuz having a challengers circuit becomes entirely pointless. Keep recycling players if that's what you want, but don't be surprised if you can never have a top team.
Also the past 2 years have proven that international experience is bullshit and doesn't mean anything in terms of a veteran being better than a rookie
fraudhaak has been shit for two years and he still has more international wins than kru since franchising started even if we only count these two years
mited and darker are fucking chokers when It really matters, fucking onliners
and darke had a chance do trials on kru, and he cant go better than memewzera, so he is a equal shit
mited and darker played great at the event wtf are you on about
and darker ended up getting picked up by loud, might not be so bad eh
loud keep the second worst core in the league in 2025
mited and darker dominated north latam to choke every time at latam finals/ascension since 2022
(virty too)
caua will 100% be out after kickoff if he doesn't have an outstanding performance so the roster will actually be really good
