2+ years if you're sentinels
holy shit even dephh was better than him in stats
Guild's ex-pocket sage
Koldamenta was their IGL btw
still, there's a lot more opportunity there
7 teams in his home region that were considering picking him up
only one in APAC is GE
That's such a waste though; he actually gave up the notion of playing in EMEA ever again wtf
but if he chooses APAC before the league Im assuming that locks him out of EMEA at least for the 2024 season no?
but you said they choose their region before they join the league, as if it's a one time thing. Does this happen every off-season or at the start of franchising? is he locked into one or the other throughout 2024 or is he entirely capable of switching from an APAC to EMEA team throughout the season without being counted as an import
is he considered an import in EMEA tho? thats my question.
Like, as a result of his dual citizenship, is his region set in stone for APAC or is he not counted as an import for both EMEA and APAC?
"El Diablo" usernames on Mumbai servers when they actually queue into Yay lol
Benkai himself stated that hes not gonna IGL on this squad so Russ IGLing might still happen
disagree with me if you want but i genuinely think this team has a higher ceiling than fnatic
I just don't think he fits FNS' vision when it comes to teambuilding.
Ethan is one of those players that he really likes not because he takes gunfights and wins them but because he plays insanely smart, is hard to kill and supports his teammates with amazing util in the most efficient way possible.
Tenz has his own kind of value but in terms of what FNS is looking for I can see Ethan fitting his vision a lot more, even if they both can play kayo
India's crown jewel of the occident
It's a really good team
like a legitimate superteam (with ethan, not tenz)
he made the lobby not me idk
not allowed to use abilities, it was 13 rounds peeking mid ascent switching at the half. he refused to play with infinite creds, but that ended up being the reason I won lol.
your timeline is so fucking wrong im not even gonna respond to that lol
SEN wouldn't have accepted either way, they still have existing contracts with the brazillians so they have to build around them for at least another year
me watching their gameplay.
meL is a good IGL, perhaps a bit too loose in her calling but still pretty competent. I feel like she has to put her foot down more often when she calls. Relying on teammates to come up with ideas and be vocal is good but sometimes it looks like she clearly sets up for one plan but her teammates end up not committing to it. Maybe I just have a bias towards more structured teams but her midrounding is very good to make up for it at least.
Florescent has godly aim but she overheats relatively often. She isn't really as methodical with her entry pathing as she should be, but she's been improving in that regard lately. She's incredibly flexible in her duelist agent pool which is a huge + in her favor.
with bstd tbh this is honestly me just shitting on brazillian IGLs (excluding saadhak) more than anything. She makes good calls and I see genuine structure in her team
I think you're underestimating how well GC players actually perform when put into coed teams. During the midst of champions two undisclosed V1 players were scrimming alongside other NA talent and performing pretty decently against top VCT teams.
You can never really know how good a player is unless you put them in the rightt environment to prove themselves and while until that point I can only speculate, but from what I have to speculate on I think it's less an issue of some underestimating the bottom feeders of VCT and more overestimating the impact they're actually having on the teams they're on
It's everyday nowadays that we see great players performing like shit on bad teams and bad players shining a new light on themselves when put into the right team environment.
because he's not disagreeing with me lol

bro should name himself rust at this point
she didn't make a big deal. she kept quiet until Slasher leaked it and now everyone was pestering her for a comment on whether it was true or not; she's been on damage control all day

LEAF DOUBTERS COME
The GOAT has spoken
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
PLEASE what I would give to have this roster
It's not, I think there's genuine value to it
But you're debating semantics right here, right now with me: about semantics. Is there no value to be had from that?
Yes, I realize how ironic this is
No, it'd be a semantics argument if they criticized my wording, it's something else when they accept and reinterpret it to suit their argument--whether knowingly or unknowingly
If you've ever been into a debate and realized an hour in that neither of you have the same idea in your head about what you're arguing about then you know what I mean
imo semantics is a way to keep both of you in the same page so that there isn't any confusion or dissonance regarding each other's arguments and standpoints
Far more childish and stupid for others to strawman your points based on either malicious or dumb interpretations of your argument's wording.
I'm strict about semantics for that reason
EG poaching him is a misconception. He personally went through their open tryouts process that they advertised on twitter and ended up getting signed to their reserve roster
I'm putting this in the same frame of reference as everyone who unironically thinks you're a bad player if you didn't make it into Tier 2
Blud has a grudge against semantics
You're missing the point. see #22
I realize that the circumstances were unique, but even if by coincidence this has become a perfect case study into getting to understand the nature of NA's talent pool.
Tier 1 and tier 2 aren't really far apart at all and if even tier 2 rejects can dominate the VCT regular season then that says a lot about our misconceptions regarding the skill level of players who couldn't make challengers (like a certain GC team)
It also highlights definitively that yes, the best player in the world can flounder on a bad team and remain unseen until the right opportunity is handed to him. Demon1 is the perfect example of that
"muh making Tier 2" is not, in my opinion a good enough requirement for getting the opportunity to trial with a tier 1 team
Oh really? did you figure that out by yourself? wowwwwww im so proud
How did my point go over your head
#5 is wrong.
Demon1 was not scouted
How would you know without trialing them? Psychic powers?
Demon1 wasn't. He went out of his way to go through EG's open tryout process
as for the other two, good scouts know that talent isn't always funneled into T2 like it's supposed to be. The 3rd best smokes player in the league can be rotting away in a collegiate team and only those with a true eye for talent like mCe would know.
Make up your minds
did these players deserve a trial?
Demon1 - didn't even try to qualify for challengers, lost to "STEALING LUNCH MONEY" in a Knight's monthly https://www.vlr.gg/159759/stealing-lunch-money-vs-sqn-2-0-knights-monthly-gauntlet-2022-november-playoffs-qf couldn't even make it past Quarterfinals
Jakee - failed to qualify for challengers, on collegiate team
Runi - failed to qualify for challengers
None of these players managed to touch Tier 2 where all the real developing talent is supposedly funneled to
If so, what are the requirements to earn the right to try out for a team?
Koala is literally yay but with +50% more attack side awping bro he's not who you should be referencing when you're trying to give an example of an entry duelist.
I think yay is trying to learn to entry a bit better nowadays, I see him practicing raze a lot more often than not
