Resign Brawk (top 3 player itw)
Resign Skuba (good senti player, off year in a double duelist meta, great chemistry with the team already)
Resign Bonkar till 2035
Keiko has contract until 2027. We need more morale additions. Although if they keep all 5, I could see with a different meta next year they do better. Feel like he just doesn't really fit with the team, but he is a great and flexible player so wouldn't complain if he stays.

Bonkar is already resigned till 2028/29.
Frauwk is gone
Skuba is 50/50
Ethan is retiring
Keiko is going to FNC after he asks to be set free
Mada is Adam
Keiko is going to FNC after he asks to be set free
if hes going ANYWHERE in emea it would be liquid
nAts wont be there to entice him so no
I genuinely don't get why people think nats would leave TL after consistent regional success alongside now having multiple insane rookies
FNC need a senti/viper player & potentially an IGL/2nd caller. nAts is a free agent and fits those exact requirements. Liquid hasn't gotten a top player from T1 since 2023, maybe Trexx but he when TL got him he hadn't played T1 for 4 months. TL genuinely just gets budget players and hopes they become insane. And majority of the time they dont, so they fuck their careers and kick them mid season/before an event.

just retarded for the love of the game 😔✌️
What’s funny is either of you thinking he’ll be leaving NRG
Since 2023 it goes: Keiko, Enzo, Mistic, Kamo, Patitek, Kamyk, Serial, Penny, Trexx, Wayne, Miniboo, Purp0, Kicks, GSR.
- Keiko was the best player in EMEA T2, but still wasn't proven. (just like Kaajak)
- Enzo & Mistic were (as sad as it is to say) washed T1 players. And were just picked up as a core with Keiko.
- Kamo was absolutely mid on KOI. (0.95, 0.91, 1.03) There was no reason to get him, genuinely. Inconsistent asf.
- Patitek hadn't played pro play in 5 months. So they got him because he was for free & had a lot of T1 & Int experience.
- Kamyk was one of the best T2 players in france & ascension and Liquid threw him in the trash. Even tho he was good on TL.
- They signed Serial when Serial playing insane but he was a 1:1 to nAts' role, so he had to play off role.
- Penny was probably picked up because he was frying in T2 at the time and lived in Canada, So he played as a sub.
- Trexx hadn't played pro play in 4 months. Got kicked, Came back, and plays decent still not as good as he used to.
- Wayne was a talented T2 APAC player, but had to play in another region and move away from family...
- Miniboo was actually alright on Liquid, but there was a reason he was kicked from TH. (Easily their worst player)
- Purp0 has been a mid player in general ever since 2022, but he definitely deserved that spot on the champs roster though.
- Kicks is just a mid player aswell. Idk why they got him tbh, maybe because he had T1 experience and was a free agent?
- GSR is roughly the same as Keiko, T2 player who is really good, but don't know if he'll be as good in T1.
Basically Team Liquid went for either: Mid T1 players (Kamo, Kicks, Purp0), Washed up T1 players (Trexx, Miniboo, Patitek, Mistic, Enzo), Talented T2 players (Keiko, GSR, Kamyk, Serial, Wayne), And Penny. Not once did they go for a top top T1 player. They genuinely did go for budget squads.
'and Penny' 😭😭
nah u did my boy penny dirty.
also wouldnt even remotely say miniboo was worst player on TH. they didnt really have a super weak link with that lineup, so he just got called out cuz he was on the thankless role of entrying, killing one or two and having superstar woot/riens clean up the other 3-4
if wayne wasnt a t2 talent in apac i wouldve said something like "getting a random decent import"
miniboo was performing the "worst" out of them and he was really inflexible to the point it was fucking TH. imo he got lucky with Neon becoming insane as she was when he joined liquid or unlucky aswell.
miniboo was not their worst player lmfao benjy was
noticeably worse than him
maybe harsh of me to say he was their worst but as a duelist he was putting out numbers that didnt really make it worth keeping him. especially when so many up incoming t2 duelists were available. Also him not being able to play Yoru in the Yoru meta was probably a reason too. Kinda unlucky that Neon became the meta once he got kicked.
Yeah I’d resign everyone ngl I am happy with the performance of this year, and I only saw them play at their best like 3 times. Someone needs to step up and be the hype man tho
Skuba tried
just keep all 5 tbh
no need to make roster changes
they lost to macro vs 100t
disgusting attack half sunset
they think 1 smoke and a dog will push timo off the A line
most readable rotations of all time too
every single round hitting 3 stacked site
nbs and doombros did gods work that game, the best 100t have played in champs by far
not even that NRG sunset attack is just so ass
ethan IGLing showing it's weaknesses
its always a shallow reclear one side then a hit opposite side
they don't actually push back the info line A ever
defense will perma fight for A info deep lines so you need to make sure they can't hold it instead of doing that half assed reclear with zero followup
-keiko or skuba

please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
Just extend the whole roster, you can’t expect to win in every meta. This meta obviously wasn’t ideal for them, they’ll still be good next year if the meta changes at all. If they want to do anything, just rethink their comps and work on expanding agent pools
I lowkey think they need clearer role changes.
Maybe let keiko learn full-time sentinel and skuba play more Controller. Or let mada learn some sentinel as well.
Drop Keiko I don't know why people want him, he doesn't fit NRG at all
There aren't many big enough improvements of players out there right now except maybe Oxy for Mada but even then Mada tho isn't in form or frags does his role perfectly.
I think this meta really isn't a NRG meta and considering that they made their own comps and ideas and did their best this year and people only consider this year to be a "failure" because they won champs but that isn't a good standard to hold a team to.
I think honestly they should stay together and give 2027 a try because they should dominate the early seasons or first half of the year while the other teams are still trying to find their footing with new rosters moves and changes.
my heart wants us to keep this roster together, but my brain says we need one or two changes
i wouldn’t mind NRG running it back and trying their hand at a different meta, it’s clear they were in the back foot for the whole year and despite that they had a pretty decent season
Resign and re-sign are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things
shit u right
