HM: Sick, Vanity, Victor, Yay

Wait this guy actually thinks Zombs is bad I thought he was trolling lol

no one needs to go. It's obvious from seeing this team in the past that A. The team plays well together and B. They all are individually skilled players. The main problem with their team is that they are stubborn and can't adapt their agents and comps. Scream is always stuck on one duelist at time when he should be playing whats best on what map, Jamppi is awping on omen when he should be using his versatility to not be an OP one trick. Soulcas is killer on skye, but that's kinda it. The team needs to make comps that A. feature scream on the best duelist/sage per map as well as Soulcas skye and B. finding which of the other three is best at each agent. They need to put a lot of time in the server finding who should play Sova, Viper and other agents.I think role changes for L1nk and Kryptix could be beneficial for both.

Oh I def remember when he was the best phoenix in NA, but when was that, October? Over time he's gotten worse and worse and at this point there's way way better phoenix players than him. I think if we are pinpointing singular points in time then ya his phoenix is his best agent but at this point I'd take his Sova much more than his Raze(was awful), Breach(hasn't played in a while, wasn't anything special), or Phoenix. I don't see any org that currently has a team that would replace their main duelist with him, maybe you can make the argument for Rise or RNG but I doubt they would drop their players for Drone. Put him on Sova or another role though? teams would def give him more consideration.

Drone's also not really a duelist lol. He's played like 4 agents total and has really only ever been statistically good on Sova. Though I do agree that he doesn't seem to have the understanding of the champ like Crashies or Effys do, he's prob got his best chance as an LFT by playing Sova. Maybe Sentinels or Smokes could be good for him, but of his actually played champs Sova is the only one that he's ever had much impact on.

I mean I wouldn't say they as a team are better as they have had better results with Zellsis but I will say I personally gave Thief a hard time on LG and he has def showed that he can be a top 15 Main duelist in NA.

ya idk hes not human 100t IB comp is best in world who cares

G2 finally starts looking tactically sound and performs well, beating teams previously better than them.

Vlrgg idiots: Koldamenta bad cuz he no kill.

He's already showed how good of an IGL is with two teams that he had to basically start from the ground up. He is literally the definition of playcalling and playing for others, which is why he rarely frags. Calling out Kolda after this past tourney may go down as one of the worst takes on this site

Odd that once they start adding Jett into arsenal they don't play her on her arguably best map. Feels like having Asuna Jett and Ethan Sage would make a lot of sense, but I also don't mind Asuna on Reyna since he is a freak on the agent.

EDIT: NVM I TAKE IT BACK ASUNA PLEASE THEY HAVE FAMILIES IM SORRY FOR SAYING YOU SHOULDNT PLAY REYNA

Drone hasn't been a good duelist since First Strike, his Phoenix is behind almost every t1 duelist at this point and has never had a good Raze. Drone was by far their weakest link in the last qualifier and is probably the last of the 4 "duelist" players on the roster.

Oh i def get questioning it, but this guy is blindly simping for Thief when hes been the biggest underperformer on an underperforming team. I'm not saying they will instantly be upgrades or that LG has 100% made upgrades, only time will tell for that. What I am saying is that Thief isn't this god duelist like this guy really wants him to be. Ban at least plays a more impactful agent, brings an OP to the team which they needed greatly, allows for Dre to get off of Jett and onto other agents and has a higher overall upside. He also was playing Sage and Skye in his last tournament which is a good sign for team flexibility. I truly do think that LG needed a change and Thief IMO was the likely candidate, and Ban is very much a high upside player to bring in

I have lol
https://www.vlr.gg/stats/?event_group_id=all&event_id=all&region=na&country=all&min_rounds=200&min_rating=1750&agent=raze&map_id=all&timespan=all

among na raze players that have 200+ rounds against 1750 or better teams(BBG is the lowest for example), he is in the bottom half, only ahead of Zekken(good player but plays on a t2 team so his stats are with a grain of salt), Kaboose(dropped) Subroza and Ayrin(both off of Raze and played a completely different style) and Shawn who ill give to him is a great player but Raze is undeniably shawns worst duelist while he has 2 other ones he is better at.

So on his one trick agent, he doesn't frag out when playing against good teams, which is odd since Raze has always been the most important agent on the LG teams

https://www.vlr.gg/stats/?event_group_id=all&event_id=all&region=na&country=all&min_rounds=200&min_rating=1750&agent=reyna&map_id=all&timespan=all
Reyna is the other agent he plays a lot, and from this one we can see that the only ones who are statistically worse than him are Kaboose and Roca, two dropped players. Even Poiz is above him.

https://www.vlr.gg/stats/?event_group_id=all&event_id=all&region=na&country=all&min_rounds=150&min_rating=1750&agent=phoenix&map_id=all&timespan=all
for Phoenix he is at the very bottom.

He played basically one agent all qualifiers and historically isn't even that great. So he is a onetrick that isn't statistically that good at the character and also doesn't pass the eyecheck when watching the games. He's also bottom tier on the two other agents he plays. What about the stats says he's great, or is it just that you click on his vlrgg profile and see that he has acs because he's dropping 30 on teams like Dababyclan lol.

There's one dude on his site that has some crazy and hostile love for him who will prob tell u he's the best lol but hes decent. Very good at fragging, very much a solo player and probably won't be as team based as Zellsis was. Cracked aimer, basically a raze one trick though. He should be good and prob was the most proven duelist FA.

god I see why people avoid this site holy shit, you give actual insight and analysis and these are the people that react, cool.

Idek why I try to reason with baiters and dumbasses like u but here goes. LG had the same problem teams like Gen.G, Envy and C9 had where they had a duelist that played one agent and was not particularly good at anything else. Thief is basically jsut a more fraggy kaboose, very solo oriented and puts up monster stats on Raze, but has underperformed in every way on every other agent. He's a Raze one trick, and having duelist one trick players that can only play Raze will put u at a deficit before the match even starts. Thief is a great player and a really good aimer but having him on the roster probably would never get them past this current SEN team, unless the meta really fits them. Stellar in general was pretty replaceable and the idea as far as we can tell is that they are looking for young players that have the potential to be absolute stars, but are right now big gambles. Ban was one of the best T2 Jett players in the past few months, and Jett was an agent that LG was really lacking. I'm a bit more skeptical of the Dazzle pickup, but he is an experienced player(has ties with Moose from CS) and is a self sufficient fragging IGL.

Most top tier NA teams don't have a spot left. He's a tier 1 level player but the only teams that need a 5th are V1 which would make sense except they already have a viper KJ player and need a duelist/skye player, and T1 who already have Curry and need a sova player. So unless he roll swaps to accommodate for that he is likely going to either make his own team for the next event or sign to a t2 squad that needs a fifth. I still think he's better than plenty viper or kj players in the top tier orgs but rn there isn't a place for him

EEIU is what S0m said

So they kept Potter but dropped Aleksander for Pho, interesting. Atleast something is being changed cuz everyone but Temp and Alek is not T1 potential

Especially if the NRG and LG rumours are true, Jammyz only real options for orgs rn are T1, Ghost or possibly EG i guess if they are swapping up their roster(hopefully they do), I feel bad for the dude, I'd easily rate him above many other viper players that are currently on T1 and T1.5 orgs

If wedid signed to NRG and what I've heard from S0m's stream is right it will be WeDid on Astra/Viper duty, Som and Tex playing Duelist as well as Sage for Tex and Skye for S0m, EEIU still on Sova/Skye and Android on Sentinel. Will be interesting to see for sure as I've always rated android and even Tex as better duelists than S0m but they should be very fun to watch

Theres a chance that its just for content creation but ya NRG and Ghost are the only orgs that could possibly have picked him up

I don't think thats true and also George Geddes said it would be instead of Kehmicals

Marved is going to Envy

Ya DaZed def deserves another shot lol

Let's not get ahead of ourselves on either sides of this. Poiz can still practice with them but also they could still prefer Xeppa and want to play him over Poiz. They could even try 6 people, but I doubt that. Also xepppa is almost undeniably the more "cracked" player, he's had that reputation since CS.

Wardell is still a Jett one trick I would not use him as the example. Actually of all people he's prob the most likely to get shafted if Jett gets gutted.
