Do you mean koala? No he’ll be smokes on this team surely for a lot of maps. They are getting alym. So on 2nd duelist maps koala will go like Yoru and just OP everyone. Art suits flex on those types of maps anyways.

Agreed will be exciting to see if this roster works out

I feel like this Furia team can be a top team. Alym is T2 top prospect, Koalas always been a beast flex player and now he’s finally on it and Art has always been a good flex player. It really just depends on who the last 2 names are imo

I think he’ll be smokes and the odd 2nd duelist on some maps or chamber. He LFT as a flex too but they have art so I doubt it’s that.

sorry yeah I meant Artzin let me edit

Could be bait but they are replying to each other on Twitter and art already got leaked so

Artzin
Koala
Alym
? (Potentially basic)
?

Underrated core 3 I wonder who the last 2 players will end up being as I’ve heard rumours that basic is not on the main roster

I mean it was exactly that. Go look at NAVIs comps in the most broken Tejo branch meta and explain how this chug was expected to perform. He said on streams there were a lot of internal issues.

He will change peoples opinion this season I hope

Literally irreversible damage has been done to him since on NAVI. He’s a fantastic player was top of stats in T2 for 2 years straight and highest rated M80 player.

NAVI ruined his reputation but I really believe he’ll fry this year

please..

No way 100T don’t just get Timotino because TSM coach is going there. Definitely can’t afford Aspas

Heard a leak of the potential roster right now

Art(flex)
Koalanoob(smokes/2nd duelist)
?
?
?

I heard they are trying to get Cortezia but possibly going elsewhere
What would be your last 3 to fill the spots?
Very happy I get to see koala in T1 again if true

I think unironically he’s a top 3 oper in the world. As a duelist main in all aspects I agree with you there his rifle isn’t up to par even with how aggressive he is. If he works on that my argument changes. I definitely agree with you though I think he’d excel on smokes or flex roles being able to pickup the op sometimes on maybe a double duelist/chamber map.

Just want to see my king fry in T1 again because it sucked seeing him be incredible on M80 then look like a shadow of himself on NAVI

NAVI wasn’t a representation of what he can do on duelist. Go watch him on M80. Literally ran it down every round and was absolutely frying. He talked on stream about all the issues NAVI had.

I’m just a huge fan so I’d like to see him just in T1 again. Also heard he’s been trialing a lot as smokes so we might see that instead of duelist anyways

I’ve heard he’s had a lot of trials and has done super well in them (he’s been playing smokes for a ton of them)
Saw a leak of a Furia complete rebuild

Yay as duelist return and get a good initiator that roster could cook

It’s a solid core if it happens I don’t see what the problem is

Friend of mine told me Furia is trying to get a core of Corte, Art and Koalanoob to build around (supposedly koala has trialed on smokes unless no duelist is found)

I’d argue koalas op/entry > cryo op/entry (entry for sure op more 50/50) Cryos rifle is for sure better than koalas right now.

But yeah him willing to igl/flex whatever is a big thing that people outside of the server might under appreciate

Seriously man people forget what he did the past 2 years

This guy will run it down for teams. He had highest fkpr pretty much both years M80 and in EMEA

Thank god another based pro city watcher. This guys playing out of his mind on duelist and other roles and I swear I haven’t seen him not first picked. If he competes in NA I am so confident he will dominate and all these other people underestimating him will definitely realize it was a mistake to judge him from NAVI.

I don’t care if it’s not even 100T just get him in NA franchising

Are people watching pro city Koalanoob is literally first picked every game over these younger rookies right now he is quite literally thanos in this hub and if he keeps this form up he will be putting up 2023 M80 numbers. I don’t understand why there is permanent stigma of him being a 1 trick or incredibly mid

I love it.

I don’t get the comments on Koalanoob fragging power like genuinely where did this idea of him come from???
He was for 2 seasons straight a top statistical player in challengers and reuniting with the M80 guys surely will help also. NAVI sure he played pretty mid but it just seemed like they didn’t work well together at all especially from what Koalanoob answers on his streams. This guy can frag.

I really don’t understand how people underrate him so much. He really is an incredible player and still a top T1 OPer. He clearly didn’t fit in the NAVI system with Tejo meta with their comps. I’ve watched him since ghost and he is way more flexible than fans think. He can play all duelists and has been playing smokes since M80 on top of playing it in pro 10s in the streams I’ve watched. I’ve even seen him playing flex in it. He would do anything to play in T1 again and I have a very good feeling teams will notice that and I can’t wait to see him next season.

Terrible terrible bait. Have a nice day lol

This guy was a top t2 player for the past 2 years and had a mid half split with Navi when there were clearly many factors that affected the performance.

I’ll be back! If I’m wrong then I’m wrong

Definitely not the problem but wasn’t able to shine on a team like this imo (didn’t use his jett once and played gross coops in a Tejo breach meta) Will do great on other teams but I think it was a win for NAVI Alexik suits them very well by the looks of it and it’ll be a win for koala if he gets on another team

Down for the koala vouch he’d do so good in NA especially if he plays jett

I love the stats argument because when you watch the games you see this guy running through countless util in a breach Tejo meta when NAVI were running double smokes or some whacky stuff. Sure he wasn’t the greatest that he could play but holy was it rough to watch him dry fight almost everything on executed

I’m not saying this out of the blue koala in his lft tweet said he’s open to igling. M80 guys said he’s incredibly vocal and he himself said on streams he was probably the most vocal person on NAVI besides ANGE1

Obviously if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work but NAVI need just 1 or 2 more changes to be top tier and I don’t see any harm in trying it for 2 more matches + potential playoffs

-ange1 +koala joins as igl flex since he’s under contract still and you try it till end of season

The team looks so close to being good but ange1s performances are really rough

Koala is a really great flex player and said he wanted to igl if a team is interested in that

Statistically him and Ruxic were the best lol. Koala also was highest fkpr in the entire league running comps that literally do not help him at all def or atk side.

I get you’re hating on him because he’s from NA but you don’t need to lie. He’s gone and a team you enjoy has a solid player in alexik to replace him. No need to slander when both players have incredible passion and are very good. He works so hard to provide for his fiancé and kid.

Those were the types of teams I was thinking about also. Even LEV for example I could see a -okeanos +Koalanoob type of move

The Nismo koala duo needs to happen again I don’t think it will though.

Ya him and M80 would’ve been great in Americas. Next season I hope he comes back to NA even if it’s not as duelist

Not true he literally got interviewed after a match saying they asked him would he join if Happy wasn’t chosen and he said yes. He had other offers almost confirmed but NAVI was 100% so he said he took it to be safe

He’s streamed and said he’d love to play duelist again because he knows he can do way more and I’d love to see it (he’s been grinding neon like crazy so to have that added is great) he didn’t show his Jett which is by far his best agent this season so people didn’t get the best idea of him.

He also said he’d be open to smokes as he’s played it a ton on M80 and said he’s learning flex if he needs to igl on either of them.

I’m a HUGE fan of him so I’m biased but having a player that’s willing to give up duelist and go whatever a team needs is very selfless and he’d bring incredible value.

I’ve said this already but koala had to play WEIRD comps in a yoru breach Tejo meta where he had double smokes for example and little to no initiator help and still topped fkpr split 1..

I’m sure it was just a disagree in view of the game between him and ANGE1. All of his past teammates have said he’s incredibly positive and a great player. I hope he can show what he can do next season and I think it’s unfortunate people saw him not show what he’s capable of

Get koala back in this current meta and he will stomp for sure

Of course a proven IGL will always be a better option than the risk of a new one I agree with you there!

But I think if navi don’t wanna spend even more money this could be a super interesting move.

I heard in a video/stream cannot remember koala and ange1 had different views of the game so maybe a new vision of how to play with this roster could do a lot (same can be said about any igl they get though just if they can’t afford)

Ya I can see that for sure but to give him the benefit of the doubt he’s never shown his other roles except smokes which he clearly can play at a good level. I’d trust him enough to grind whatever other roles he’d need to be on. And like I said it’d be till end of season to test how it’d go.

Unfortunately for ANGE1 these numbers are unacceptable at this day and age of IGL’s where most top teams have good enough fragging igls. Look at Boaster. Even he improved a ton this year.

I’m sure he is. I just said koala 1. Because I’m a fan and 2. He’s still under contract w/ navi and I think they probably won’t want another new person to give money to. This would be a fix till next year and see how it panned out.

Team has issues even with new player

-ange1
Bring back koala since he’s under contract still. He was LFT as multiple roles including wanting to try igl. Try until end of season and go from there.

I watched him since first year M80. He started as a Jett 1 trick and fuck is he good on it but he’s very flexible now and has said in interviews he plays whatever the team needs him to. But yeah, I still support NAVI because of how he praised them but I expected it to be similar results. Seems like it’s a system problem more than duelist. Like I said earlier they played these weird comps on a Tejo breach yoru meta and watching the matches was brutal of him tping in dry then getting stunned rocketed etc. I expected the same stuff to happen to Alexik which will be very unfortunate for him because he seems like he has good potential as a player.

Koalanoob played in Tejo meta with weird comps that did not set him up at all and got obliterated by utility. If NAVI ran even 1 of these comps they ran this tourney with him and the meta change post-Tejo nerfs they most likely would’ve won today.

I feel like people don’t actually watch the matches and see score lines. I’m a fan of koala so very biased but he’s playing with comps that give him 0 support (ascent deadlock cypher, split double smokes, haven double senti etc) I do agree he needs to get more consistent because it’s been very average, but I feel like I’m seeing him need to tp, satchel everything dry and it seems like it must be so hard to play for him.

Would be so nice to see both Jonah and Koala qualify

See now this is a fair reply. He still can improve and to me at least he is improving a lot especially now that he has a good raze (one trick jett/kinda yoru in past) so when I see players like this that show signs of improvement and growth I don’t like hate that gets thrown onto them because it shows that they grow versus some other players that get stagnant.

Maybe bias because I followed M80 a lot, but I believe he can become that player one day (as well as rest of ex m80)

Judge him on debatably his worst series here so far.. what about the fnatic game where he was single handily winning rounds with the rifle. He may not be ELITE with it, but on a normal day he’s good enough for t1 level of play AND his op is top of all of partnership.

It’s so funny seeing people judge players based off of scoreline. He has close to highest fkpr in the league so where is this “non aggressive” play you’re seeing coming from?

He is a major hype man and completely runs it down for his team even when he has an off performance. To me he seems like a big piece to why this navi roster is working. I’ve watched M80 for their 2 year run and I can tell you he’s nowhere near in normal levels of skill and is still doing great. Just wait till he finds himself again.

0/10 bait

Yes for sure

Underperforming but also overhyped by fans. If you watched m80 you’d know Koalanoob was by far their most impactful selfless player and I’d even argue nismo was ahead of zander when it came to impact. Hopefully he finds his form soon
