Basically, he talked about the whole journey since FURIA's losses started.
Explaining the roster changes: he said Alym thought Neon was dead, but shaW didn't realize that Alym was actually tired of playing the Neon/Waylay meta, since you have to constantly throw yourself into fights as an entry duelist. This later proved to be true, as Alym really was tired of it.
Once that was brought up, KOALA VOLUNTEERED to become the main duelist. That's why we saw Alym on Harbor, Koala on Neon, and Alym on Phoenix. With that change, they also tried to make Koala use the Operator more (that was a consequence of the change, not the actual goal), but it didn't work because the meta had so many walls (Phoenix, Harbor, etc.).
A little after that (he didn't explain the details because he didn't want to expose any of the former players), Shyy and Basic joined. He said he had wanted to test Basic for a long time, and as soon as his English improved, he put him on the team. He also said he was really sad about NERVE leaving. According to him, NERVE was a very well-liked player who was willing to play any agent or situation the team needed.
To avoid making this ridiculously long: they decided to go with what Basic was comfortable with, which was SUPPORT = Breach... However, shaW already knew it would be something that worked once and then teams would adapt to it because it wasn't really part of the meta. And that was basically confirmed after Basic had the best Breach game possible and they barely managed to win.
-
Basic and Koala PROMISED to wake up early and study so they could get better at Neon/Phoenix.
-
PRX's coach, Alecks, sent him a message saying it was really amazing to see their journey and how much they changed and improved in such a short amount of time. This was after their win against G2 in this split. (He also made a meme when he picked PRX over NRG 😭)
-
He didn't explain EEIU's departure with 100% clarity, but basically, it was because of disagreements over how to play the meta/how to play the game.
-
He took a shot at the Brazilian caster who criticized him in a react video about the roster changes and playstyles. (The caster really had no idea what he was talking about...)
-
He also mentioned that the team's EGO grew a lot after Masters, which made adapting to the meta even harder. That was also one of the reasons behind the roster changes.
-
Artzin was stressed out, and managed to get back after shaW talked to him
-
Xarola being on the house doing IRL changed the mood there, everyone came later saying he was cool and thanked him (quite explains this clip: https://www.twitch.tv/xarola_/clip/GoodSweetLapwingYee-8TQSQ94AArj5mdr_ [Shyy, Xarola, TCK10 {yes the C9 streamer}, Basic {Cameraman}, and shaW, biggest random shit that could be happening]
And finally, he said he thought it was pretty bad for RIOT to add Abyss right now, because it's almost impossible to properly practice the map if you're coming from the play-ins.
I skipped a LOT of stuff, but that's basically the main points... It explains the changes that happened pretty well.
So yeah, it wasn't:
"FURIA changed half their roster because they were losing."
You're not gonna read all this 🥀
