He is def not as much of a liability as people think
It is a growing region that his still developing. But FLC and RAAD can compete with pretty much any team in Ascension, it just needs to click for them. Ping doesn't help
People attack his individual performance but this mf has an almost 50% clutch rate in both Champs and VCT EMEA. And is not precisely on 2 attempts
What TL really needs is exactly the same NAVI does, offer the bag to Ex6tence and drop the coach
Yeah no,
lakia has been out of tier 2 for 2 years now and he is nothing impressive anymore
Fitinho played in tier 2 all year where he was a tier 2 demon
Keznit was out literally 1 game this season, don't say 6 months like that wasn't the off season xD
Marved missed 4 games of the season
You're not understanding, you can bring up cases of subs who come in after not playing for a while or tier 2 players being picked up. But none of those is even remotely close to being the situation Bcj is in. It is not the same to add Bcj mid season because your options are limited and need to make a change than to choose Bcj to start a project from the beginning.
Bcj will need a transition year to tier 2 like all dropped players from tier 1 do, to proof himself again and come back after if he earns it
Well it's clear that Potter knows where to recognize talent better than us
Does people still think Bcj is better? Cause a lot of people used to say that
I think it is because something wasn't there last masters and people said he wouldn't make a difference
mini was asked about the timeouts on yesterday's interview and the guy goes. "Boaster gives the calls on the timeouts"
Well cauanzin kinda whiffed, Ardiis was just perfect
Wtf did Less do against FNC. I could do the same with Alfajer
And what context is there to say Less is better than Alfajer? Alfajer has the highest rating at Tokyo AND at champs. And no, Less did not diff him

If this is a diff I'm an astronaut
Btw I have had 3 page threads arguing why Less is far better and more important than aspas. But no, he is not better than current Alfajer
Alfajer has the highest rating in Champs and Masters, and no
How do you ask this question after a clutch what do you think the answer is gonna be xD
Wtf are you talking about nobody never said "Ardiis is in NRG so we'll treat him like we treat all the other NA players"
We actually said "LOOOL NA so bad they complain about few slots and the import LMAO so bad"
If you see the comms from the game vs EDG in between maps before the Fracture the PRX CEO goes, no balls 5 drop on pistol. Guess what happens after
Well they probably cut off most of the parts where boaster is talking but derke just won't stfu in a good way. He doesn't seem like he calls Strats but he keeps telling exactly where everyone is give key enemy info over and over again even when dead. And also he is the one to bring the mood up in the team, but I'm not just talking about that part, it's everything else
Ofc there is a story behind those numbers, but the difference is not like you put it
NRG's run at Tokyo is the most impressive one out of the 6 for sure, and the NAVI one at Tokyo the less impressive one.
Aside from that, NAVI does better at Lock in even if it's a lower caliber tournament. But let's be real, at the most important tournament NAVI's run has been far more impressive than NRG's.
That is just justifying the unjustifiable. Both teams have been trash and definitely hit their celling
If they were playing playoffs rn my take would be exactly the same one as it is. The roster has hit their peak, once that happens there only is one direction to go and it is backwards. The players need a fresh start from 0
Yeah you're right cause some teams went straight to playoffs, still, does not change the point
Said the guy without an NRG flair?
As I said, once you have been on the top your goal should be to up there again. They have placed 5th-8th, 4th, 9th-12th. Which would be a perfectly fine for any other team, but not for them. They managed to win with a duelist like prime yay, they are not gonna find another prime yay anytime soon, so their celling is just not what they used to be, they can0t find the same success they did in the past. They can only go backwards.
Same applies to NAVI, actually if you look a pure results:
NRG has placed 5th-8th, 4th, 9th-12th
NAVI has placed 3rd-4th, 7th-8th, 9th-12th
Do not fool yourself, NRG's year is exactly as disappointing as NAVI's, literally the same
MrFalin is a blessing for the Turkish scene and Ata Kaptan is superteam material imo, one of the best controllers we have in EMEA in general, more valuable than qw1 and the rest of FUT imo
I think the time has come for both the NAVI and the NRG core.
Think about it this way, once you have been the best team on the world, anything that is not doing it again feels like a failure to your fans. In the case of NRG, they were the best team in the world with all their players in their prime and having the best duelist in the world which I don't think are gonna find again. And for NAVI it's the same, they have reached a point where small changes don't make a difference imo
Only hearing FNC comms is when you actually realize his value. A player probably values derke's job the most
Oh don't get me wrong I would 100% bench ardiis, he is a liability imo.
And yes Victor duelist would be better because it wouldn't force you to play Jett, but no, on those maps where you do wanna play Jett, I don't think Victor is better, minimum not significantly better. Ardiis has top 4 stats on Jett this event, his Jett is not the issue
I never said he is bad, I said he is not good enough to be NRG's duelist. #17 last paragraph is the best explanation I can give
Alright if that is your actual ranking then yes Victor Duelist is your move. I rank Victor below both Leaf and Keznit. Which means imo he is not a top 5 Jett in his region, therefore not "good enough" for a team whose goal should be to win champs. I don't think we're gonna agree on how to rank those 5 players, but I hope at least you get my point a bit more now
OPTC was able to win an event with the best duelist in the world on their team, and I believe that core can't do it again unless they have something like that again. And that is way passed Victors celling imo
No no, why do they sign a Jett then is my question if they already have a good enough one. It's easier to find someone on any of the other roles Victor plays
Why do you think he has not been given that chance then? He has only played 2 maps of Jett this year my friend.
The only reason Victor wasn’t on jett was that ardiis isn’t good enough on other agents
See that's where we disagree. I see it the other way around. The only reason why they signed ardiis is because they knew Victor wasn't a good enough Jett, and the team knew
Bro Victor has played 11 Jett maps on his life, 2 this year, yeah he did well on those 2 maps this year, and I think you're just remembering those 2 maps instead of the whole picture.
Alright bro, let's do something, forget everything else we disagree on, rank me all of Americas Jett's, or at least the top 5 of them, see where we place Victor
1 Not good enough ≠ not good, we're talking about a team that wants to win it all. Is he a better Jett than Demon1 or Aspas?
2 No, he is not a better Jett than ardiis, but he is a better everything else
Just what I remember from watching him play it last year on the very few maps he did. And I just don't think he has the firepower other world class Jett's do which is key imo. I'm not saying he is not good, I'm saying NRG should be aiming to win it all, and I just don't think you can win it all with victor as your Jett
Good raze
Prob good Neon
Not good enough Jett
