Problem is either Fraud(frod) or Verno. I'm sure Verno can't control the players in the team I mean seriously you look at him who would listen to that guy.
Second thing is that it seems like fraud lacks balls bruh I think he's scared of the players lol
(And before any stupid person says Aspas, I'm not buying your crap go sell it to someone else)
they need someone to take charge who's straight up and will call out their mistakes
I'm pretty confident that Zekken is that kind of guy but who knows how the team works outside of officials
in the vlogs he does call out their mistakes and his own mistakes after the whole series
and they have improved since then but they need to have like a talk where they all just speak to each other bluntly
Honestly what i think should happen is they get kaplan as assistant coach for big bucks so he can berate them into success
Happy is their AC but he's not there in person so its kinda hard to communicate how he feels probably
they're always on the phone with him in between maps
They also need to get rid of tex. I happen to know a senti who is very critical of players and of his teams that was dropped more than likely for that reason.
Honestly get a good IGL or even coach and we're cooking. Hear me out. Beg saddhak and less to come back and Aspas will fry Americas again
there is no MIBR fix, this roster will implode and zekken will go back to SEN replacing Jerrwin next year.
Verno is a young promising leader but I suspect a lot of the MiBR people got too much ego to follow his calls and verno doesn't have the dog in him to make them respect him
i dont think so, but he's a pretty experienced player and i think he midrounded on '24 LEV
He took over Artzin during champs if I am not mistaken, but honestly he has a lot to learn and yet Mibr kicked Artzin who has seen through the toughest of times with Mibr. Look at him now frying with a full English speaking roster. Mibr truly snaked him and they deserve to be eliminated by Furia again hopefully.
Everyone knows the problem is t0x who can't hold a site to save his life. Unlike a less or alfa where the opponent would want to avoid, the enemy see senti setup and they slam the site because the senti can't do anything. Bottom 10 player in Americas should not be the one who is in charge of locking a site down.
maybe you are right this is why I Was against cortez leaving man he would've been better than t0x this is where I just don't like what Aspas did, I like him as a player but t0x pick is clearly nepotism from him man and it's taking the team down
More than Cortez, the fact that they let go of Artzin is actually braindead, given Verno is a young IGL. If they would have kept Art, he would have helped massively with mid-rounding off barrier calls etc. Look at Art having no trouble in a full English speaking roster.
if they played a double duelist in ascent they could have won but he wanted a prx comp but with jett instead of yoru which is bad if he had some balls and try phoenix jett or neon jett zekken would fry and they should always start on attack, there attack side is better than defense imo
I agree that Ascent comp was Terrorism for a team with Aspas and Zekken. Also, Zekken is probably one of the only few pros who can play every duelist agent at a high level. But Fraud puts him on Sova after famously proclaiming that he will never not put Zekken on duelist again.
yea its weird like u are not forced to play double senti in ascent look at fut with neon phoenix or th with jett and neon or if u dont want to play neon cuz of the nerfs then jett phoenix or jett yoru a role that can put ur best player comfortable instead of sova but it shouldnt have went to map 3 to begin with. mazino pushed spawn at 8-8 and they lost anda aspas also pushed spawn when there was a neon wall and they could flood since lev always play flood and then they lost if they fix those mistake they could have won split and fracture
MIBR is currently facing a very serious problem...
Aspas can't perform like before anymore, today's meta duelist is a much faster game, and different agents, one-trick Jett is weighing heavily on them.
Tex, very inconsistent.
Verno, seems discouraged by his decision to stay with MIBR.
Zekken, is still trying, poor free Zekken.
Mazino, very inconsistent.
Until yesterday's game, I thought MIBR's problem was limited to this, but yesterday after Ascente I saw a huge tactical gap, and Frod's lack of tact. I always respected him a lot and thought he was a very good coach, but after what I saw yesterday, I think it's time to change his head coach.
The guy simply copied my PRX composition on Ascent, without any tact, and it seems like he doesn't know anything about the players he has on the line. PRX's style is very aggressive, even if they pick 5 sentinels, there's no way to compare it to any other team in the leagues.
This Sage pick makes no sense at all, even on Split, which is a map where she appears frequently. She's useful for throwing ice from mid-B to the main to delay rushes, and not for throwing ice practically glued to the mouth like Verno was doing. I think to delay Phoenix and Neon rushes, he should at least throw it behind the generator... I lost count of how many times Verno was crushed throwing ice and seeing the ice disrespected near him and getting killed. I can remember at least 2 rounds at the tree, and at least 2 rounds at the mouth of A where he even got hit by Neon's ultimate and rush.
Valorant today has so many good and useful champions. Instead of a wall and an ice wall to throw, they had so many options to stop Lev's advances. I simply don't understand how they accepted this composition.
If we're going to keep the quote about Jett taking a diff from Neon, it would have been better for Zekken to come with Phoenix and try to make at least some play with Bang instead of ice, and a Molotov in this match would have been much more effective than an ice wall that was simply disrespected several times. Useless champion, tactical gap, players below par.
I've already stopped believing in MIBR, and from what I'm seeing, the only ones who call this lineup a super team are the Valorant casters, because nobody considers this team even remotely capable of anything anymore. At least now I think there's one less pressure.
MIBR's fracture, in my view, was largely due to Lev's failure to adapt. They did the same thing every round: advance in 3, Tex gathers info on where the weak points are, and then executes on that bomb site. Any other team, especially now that they have VOD, won't repeat the same mistake. That's why the rounds Lev did still manage were practically standing still on the bomb site, holding their aim.
Anyway, I give up as a fan, a fan of Aspas, and a fan of MIBR. I've thrown in the towel. And now, the least I expect is someone in Frod's place who puts Aspas to play with other duelists that are in the meta and comps that make sense for the playstyle and players that MIBR has.
I don't want them to qualify I think that's the only thing that can make them to make moves to fix this fking team that should've been really good but plays so dogshit
With Milan, Strong and Kaplan available to pick up, if Mibr don't pick one of them up along with a replacement for t0x. I mean this is the biggest "Superteam" failure. At least Vitality qualified for Bangkok and finished top 4. Last years Mibr with 2 rookies and a semi-rookie in Verno did far better than this failed team.
aspas
zekken
artzin
verno
cortezia
they had the perfect roster by getting rid of venom who was the worst player on the team thats getting replaced by zekken but decided to troll and take t0x in
whats funny is that it actually solves their problem right now if they didnt retardedly kick artizn and cortezia. artzin provides secondary calling while cortezia gives additional firepower that tex cant have
artzin got kicked because of this terrorist game:

Bring in a good senti IGL, move Mazino to smokes and have Zekken flex. Frod is good with game plan stuff when he knows what he needs to play comp wise like last year at champs.
