I think it's time to have some uncomfortable discussions anout him. He was literally a demi-god in t2 last year, dropping 20 bombs after 20 bombs. He looked like he had some of the very best mechanics out there and a shit ton of confidence and a great sense of timing (which woud cause him to overheat quite often too) so he was carrying TSM.
However this year he hasn't been anywhere this good. Sure his waylay was quite impressive at the beggining of the year and playing solo waylay is hard so having mediocre numbers on it is understandable and doesn't necessarily reflect his actual impact. However when he was on other agents and especially this split so far, he just doesn't do much. He has his rounds here and there but overall he is playing very mediocre, like barely top 8 duelist in the league. If he keeps this up and 100t miss playoffs (wich is very likely after this loss) he should be in some serious trouble for his spot. Luckily for him he is on 100T which is a very forgiving org I think so he might be fine, but if I was the coach/gm I would seriously question his place on the team.
I believe he is good enough to turn it around and it is imo essentially a mental issue more than anything else, in that he might be kinda afraid to actually take things into his own hands in some situations, but regardless he does need to step up heavy if 100t want to win their upcoming games because they're gonna be even tougher
Timotino truth
yeah this meta is too rely on duelist, if duelist cannot do anything or heavy carry its over
c*ne gapped him
100T went with the runner ups that couldnt even win in t2 but i guess they were expected to win in t1?
Cane was better but let's not act as if timotino wasn't literally the 2nd best duelist in the league
sure but i'm questionning why he isn't performing, not why he isn't winning
he isnt winning because he isnt performing. these inquiries go hand in hand.
his performance is most likely tied to adjusting to no more waylay and back to nbs' goofball comps
he was good before waylay and he was already playing with NBS's goofball comps last year what are we even saying
no... he wasn't. Lol and thats the issue people overrated him because of the stage 3 into ascension run he was just solid like jerrwin and alym for most of the year not the best best duelist in the world or anything.
yeah he was kinda good because his team support was really good in t2 its mostly team play and in t1 its mostly individuals
He's Phoenix just isn't it, his best agent was Waylay who got nerfed enough for 100T to opt to not play it and his second best duelist is Neon which they opt for Asuna to play idk.
Feels like he should be spamming Neon like majority of teams do but I just don't know what to do with Asuna if you do that
Legit what Mini has been preaching on Plat Chat. Doesn't solve their other comps but they could just spam double duelist like LEV. But plz we need more Cryo Chamber, 100T should be copying T1s comps too atp
I agree love the kid but like ive been disappointed heavily, he hasnt shown a glimpse of what we know he cna do
in kick off atleast he'd start off hot and die off like 12-1 then go like neutral end of game but now its js gone
idk man i need him to lock in, hes my goat
