The way the scene is moving I think it's better to sacrifice a bit of your mechanics for better calling. I think a lot of teams will realise after TH this year that the lack of firepower can easily filled by cracked t2 young players. We've already seen it in NA

I agree it wasn't their biggest issue
But the way I see it is if you're adding cloud you already have a good IGL, you don't need to look for one. you could get someone in place of Ange1 from t2, maybe someone like b1sk

doombros was with them he was calling great

its pretty unlikely doombros is coming back though

waste

giants looked VERY good when cloud picked up igling

honestly atp you gotta justify having ange1, especially since cloud can igl

its literally the guy in the hoodie vs the guy in the suit meme

still more changes possible, look at cojo's tweet, the way he worded it made it sound like they're considering more changes (speculation)

the ONLY way -derke makes any sense (still a gamble)

Most likely, but cojos tweet suggested they might make more changes, I can only see this being boaster. But then again no one expected Derke to be a F/A

This would be good for fnatic but I honestly don’t think it’s gonna happen, Sayf had a good year on VIT, and now that it looks like bonkar will likely come back VIT have the potential to build the next TH.

Oh no! are you okay??

good point, I'm sure it's negotiable though

This list is assuming the sentinel player either moves over or is cut
in NRG's case FNS isn't getting cut and it's probably more effort than its worth to have him switch role
in SEN's case it's just hypothetically a clean -zellsis +yay

no way LMFAOOO

this would make a certain someone very happy im sure

wait wtf happened? I need to see this

given how recently they signed s0m, and that they dropped the bag for ethan and demon1 i doubt they would just let them go like that.
(in fact they dropped so much, the coach had to pay out of pocket)

if you want teams who should be experimenting theres EG and C9

no way the get rid of s0m, ethan, or demon1 right?

I agree, but I think 1 more import slot wouldn't hurt

by 'international org' does that mean international fielding teams (e.g. LEV, KRU, SEN)? or just outside of BR? (e.g. EG, C9, 100T)

SEN are probably loaded from bundle sales atp

havent watched t2 this year, whats wrong with their current roster?

global esports are somehow one of the most interesting teams to track in rostermania

I ragebaited my self with this one 😭😭

wait I have dementia

is he counted as an import? or does representing flag have no relation to import status.

asking because G2 is pretty much the only team in NA that makes sense for Derke to join

time to log off

Sayf can basically go wherever he wants in EMEA, its still unlikely so thats why I leave it at a 'maybe' now

is it the yessir guy? He was before my time

Liquid and Maybe VIT are my guesses

oh ok, makes sense how it works now.

but FNC are still shooting them selves in the foot no? if they keep him they'll just end up paying more for basically no reason, as opposed to keeping him at whatever he's at now.

hell yeah

I haven't really seen any backlash anyways

i dont know ball unfortunately.
I mean if say liquid came in with a 50k offer, and say idfk Bleed comes in with a 100k offer, does Derke have the right to say 'no I want to play for Liquid' or will he basically be forced to play on Bleed if FNC sell him

this means fnatic can just give him to the highest bidder for the rest of his contract right? or does Derke have a veto

If Derke gets bought out then I think it'll just be hiro moves to senti and alfa goes duelist

most to least likely imo:

1. C9
2. EG
3. SEN
4. 100T
5. NRG
6. G2

yay was willing to play for league minimum at the start of 2023, and now that his stocks are lower I think the same is true this year

looks like a decent analysis on the initial skim through.

my take:
The way I see it end of 2023 was complacency (not to discredit LOUD at all) but we weren't making many changes, allowing other teams to anti-strat and catch up.
I'm very biased, but I give a pass for the Shanghai performance due to Leo's health. Similar for Champs, they were great but I think expecting them to go further with a fresh player in Champs was wishful thinking.

nah, I've been in one though its pretty nice drive. Yeah I don't really like black rims either

I my self rock a beast of a 2008 ford fiesta

yeah solid car

have a look at this:

create a meth empire to buy derke back

gutted.
me https://www.vlr.gg/399358/now-that-derke-is-gone

ok but look at the clip and tell me i dont have what it takes

I will be trialling for fnatic, I think my skillset definitely fits what they're going for, because if they're high enough to drop Derke, they're easily high enough to pick me up. In fact my skillset is so suited for this task I even got tier 1 casters and analysts to go through a clip of mine.

look at this clip. You can't tell me THIS is exactly what fnatic are looking for. Why else drop Derke???

I'm ok with enzo staying as long as he's not IGLing, the last few games where nAts was IGLing actually looked pretty decent

probably the best move if he's set on going to NA

Liquid is probably the only other team in EMEA that can afford him ngl. But Liquid has so much potential

Derke
Patitek
nAts
+2
is a crazy roster

just let me cope man 😭😭😭 I miss gambit

If he's set on moving to NA I think this is the best move for him fosho

hey you never know, look at Boo last year vs Boo this year

I think Alfajer has played Jett in the past (before FNC), and she's not really the highest skill ceiling agent if you've got incredible mechanics like Alfajer
