to be fair, his company rating wise with senti players is silentzz and tex
in all of americas he was one of the 20 lowest rated players
So everyones just forgotton about the absolute fucking Terminator cosplay he did at champs? Hes a bright lights merchant just watch he's gonna turn up in London
he was also solid at kickoff and very very good at santiago
one bad split and ppl are switching up, shame
Sideshow being the only person to vote skuba and then picking him up for their vfl 🤡
had basically the same stats as xeppa and poppin, 2 players people would say are bot 20 OF VCT.... are they just supposed to ignore that?
keep watching the stats
by ur logic xeus and KROSTALY are also bottom 20 of VCT
stats is only ever like 1/4 of the story, impact is much more than that
yea which is exactly why krostaly is much lower than skuba and xeus is only 4 spots above him at 11 and i never said skuba is bot 20 of VCT, i simply pointed out hes having the same output as players who unanimously ARE
I mean hes pretty meh this split and they arent wrong tho. Hes currently the weakest point in NRG. But doesnt mean hes terrible player
sideshow personally put him on the list
the 'top 6' were unanimous basically, and then the other 4 none of the 3 could really agree with
but sideshow's reasoning for skuba at 8th here was:
'i think skuba is a great player, but skuba's form has been shocking, wow hes been playing so much worse than usual, and i think hes going to play a lot better at masters london, so i think im gonna look like an idiot for ranking him here, cuz skuba is too good a player to have this bad form for a whole single stage'
shyowager chimed in saying that 'hes not part of the formula, hes just there, being slotted in for the moment, doing his job - everyone else is doing his job so much that he doesnt have to do much, you could slot anyone else in and theyd do just as well - the reason vo0kashu is a good, is cuz everyone else is a peon on the team, if you put BABYBAY on NRG he do just as good a job as skuba'
sideshow literally said that he expects him to play well at London (as in not being a bottom 10 player at the event) but that just off of his form this split he considers him to be a bottom player coming into the event. That's what that dumb tweet doesn't tell you
i would replace rarga with him if hes not on there (im not looking that hard at the list)
I just don’t get why he doesn’t get a legacy boost but someone like botsaken does, even tho skuba on avg performs a lot better internationally than forsaken
