Appparently the reasonable rumour is that Silentzz got shafted for not playing Smokes properly (which i find ironic considering how great Saadhak was playing as Controller)
The more probable pick ups are in order
BenG (KRU Academy IGL and smokes/flex player)
Phc (Brazillian Controller rookie talent, on KRU Academy's bench)
Tkzin (Kru Academy Flex/Duelist player, also a rookie talent)
Less likely but still rumoured:
Pancada
Heat
MiradaNinja
and for some reason Mephisto?
I had a feeling he wasn't at the age requirement. He was very good in that LEV Academy squad
yeah, theyve had silentzz playing a bit of duel so i assume theyd just lean farther into double duel
Less likely but still rumoured
actually less is already on team, more than just rumoured 😂😂
Phc hasn't he used to be solid but he went mostly unnoticed so far this year, don't think he's particularly good
Beng has been doing pretty good but he's not insane either individually, wouldn't be surprised tho if he gets promoted considering they already have him right there
Tkzin has potential but he just doesn't play the right roles I don't see it making any sense honestly (and he isn't that good either)
Heat and Pancada are decent options, I think pancada could still be pretty good individually if he didn't have partiuclarly high resposibilities in a team but I'd rather them go for an actual young talent with high potential in the future. I've always held Heat to a pretty high standard and I think he could still be good but again he's kinda in the same position as pancada
Honestly they should just try and bring Shyy back cuz he makes sense roles wise since he can actually flex, dk why they would be looking for a perma smokes player anyway, Saadhak played it well enough I don't see why he would want to change roles.
I'd like them to try Basic tho, actual flex player (more than Shyy) who can play the required roles of Main smokes (supposedly what Silentzz would have been asked to do), duelist and mainly flash/2ndary init well and who I think has a high ceiling at least from a mechanical standpoint if not more. In the current context Furia are most likely going to look to retain him tho
kinda crazy that they arent considering tuyz considering how saadhak really likes him and hes FA rn (wouldn't pick him just saying that i expected him to be on the list)
with this i probably go unironically with pancada but he needs to have a reality check first
After what Saadhak did to Tuyz, i dont think he wants to play with saadhak anymore lmfao
Nah he needs to work his way up from the bottom, more nepotism would only hurt his career if he still wants one in esports
