#1

Langacune

the biggest surprise for me is nerve tbh, I already knew koala was underrated asf and eiuu entered god mode for some reason

no he was just on the wrong role. controller-sentinel fits him much better than duelist-initiator

which is still kinda crazy to think about bc he was a great duelist player when MIBR picked him up, and even then he was good on duelist during 2024 before they switched his role

nah, he was playing flex-init on 00 before MIBR, when he did play duelist on T2 he was just average, and his MIBR split on duelist wasn't really great. he looked way more comfortable later on sentinel then he went to flex-init again for late 24 and 25 and his best games on MIBR were the games where he was playing Viper

lowkey yes, Artzin isn't getting baited by his duelist on FURIA meanwhile on a certain other team...

I think coach shaw unlocked something in the team and has a great read on every team

shaw is the best coach of all time
eeiu is the best initiator player itw and arguably the overall best player itw.
alym is a strong peice and hes good at neon (a currently broken agent if in the correct hands) (alyms hands are the correct ones)
artzin is literally valyn 2.0
nerve is my dada
koala is a really good duelist/smoke player

who didnt expect this team to be insane thats the thing

99% of people didnt expect this level of success this fast

shaw was coming off one of the worst runs ever with furia in stage 2 2025
artzin was basically discarded from mibr after a terrible champions
eeiu left 100t looking pretty replaceable
koalanoob was coming back after failing in emea
nerve was just a random tier 2 veteran that no one really believed in
and alym was the only one with some hype but still nowhere near star level

to give you an idea: furia was competing with eg (lol) for alym and with loud (???) for artzin and eeiu was pretty much a last minute pickup. this wasnt a roster being fought over by top teams or anything quite the opposite

no one expected this level of success lol. I expected them to be like 100t are right now. like a good team but unlikely to qualify to any internationals
