I think Shyy for nerve is quite the upgrade. They were always missing a real sentinel player and this will help them greatly. This guy fried in T1 when he was in it.
As for alym I feel a bit more bad because he definitely has potential and will hopefully show it on his next team however it’s not a lie to say overall he had like 2 or 3 good games this year, whereas koala minus the second half of split 1 had a good or pop off game every series. So keeping him makes sense > alym when you hear from the coach how much this guy does BTS + borderline calls for this team sometimes (sources are the Shaw post match videos)
I think people are thinking of NAVI Koalanoob again who still had top 3 fkpr despite the mid season. He had to play in a Tejo breach meta with no Tejo breach and of course struggled.
Every season for the past few he’s been top 3 in his FKPR. Kickoff he was #1 or 2 I think.
It’s an OP meta again and we saw what he could do in kickoff. People are overreacting on him going back to main duelist. On M80 he was a monster.
