It's nothing new. TSM Legends used to do this (good and bad) behind the scenes stuff for their League of Legends team. They prolly just want to get people closer to keep watching SEN

Feel like NA is so hard to fill lol. still only have 3 listed

yep, finally a team working around him and his strengths rather than have him fill mediocre roles.

looks like Thailand is better than Korea. Primmie a god.

hope lemon1 can do Oxy's mom proud. may she rest in peace

we got FNC 2.0 with Derke and Chron. FNC in shambles losing these two.

Agreed. this was likely the main reason. Sometimes you don't need the best player, just the supportive one that will get people out of their slump or vocally push them to be positive and keep morale up. I can see that being the main factor. Aka the vibe guy that will keep them going when things aren't looking good. as long as he doesn't have FNS / Boaster level shooting he can hold his own while still doing his job for the team.

Without working there, one can only assume. Who knows...maybe it was also a personality fit? It matters a lot. Even if you're great at shooting, but lack other valuable qualities, it can impact a team dynamic.

most orgs will want to think big picture and play for longevity, once meta changes then what happens? It's just not a good investment for them IMO.

I put demon1 and yay on the same boat. with needing so many resources to play around them to succeed. when you strip that aspect away there's plenty of better players to choose from that requires less help to shine and provide value.

pancada needs to retire already lol

So many haters lol. he was Tier 1 early / pre franchise days and made it again thru Ascension, let the guy play. You don't have to like him.

no cane & no ion = no win. Guess we gotta wait 'til they turn 18 to bring 'em back to the roster. GG.

Happens when Riot goin' cheap and not paying competitive wages. People will eventually walk.

Losing Chron and Derke made them become weak or did G2 just get better with BabyBay over JonahP? Which one is it?

They got massacred

Both BabyBay and BabyJ (Inspire) back in Tier 1. What a time for valorant

The only thing marved clearing these days is his plate....boy got beefy.

i mean pro players are a dime a dozen. plenty of pros without Tier 1 or Tier 2 teams. it's life. They don't get brought on they end up streaming for money or moving on entirely

yeah they do discriminate on foreigners but at least they pretend/try to be polite since that's how they are culturally. so you'll never see them blatantly act on their differences

Braindead take. Unless he's losing his hands or fingers. He can always train and practice to get better lol. wdym.

Couldn't do it prior, don't know how swapping out 2 and bringing back 3 will save 'em. Let's see.

Would've had a better chance without bringing back Asuna imo.

It's probably hard to land other outside players so ended up just bringing back the ones they wanted the most. easier to bring back someone you just let go than it is to bring someone brand new.

coaching staff + team cohesion. Can bring the best players in the world together, doesn't mean squat if they can't work together.

You're a very stupid and gullible little man

problem is we never got to see how he was as a duelist in T1

where yay?

Kiin
Canyon
Chovy
Ruler
Duro

crazy that he's that sensitive. being called an upgrade isn't even slandering him. neT was inconsistent anyway. that's wild. If he said net is trash and had no skill, then I'd understand.

thanks fellas.

i might be blind but where did he call him an upgrade to net in that video? am i missing something?

guaranteed SEN isn't winning anything next season

Damn that sucks. Really wanted to see what they could do with the main 5.

yeah, he did enough to stay afloat and grab wins in regular season but never blew anyone away with his gameplay. That's the main difference with the up-and-coming and higher skill pro players. Mitch been around for a while but just can't propel the team to the next level.

cooking spoiled food yeah.

Can someone get me up to speed. Why aren't ion and cane playing?

Reyna is actually the preferred/recommended duelist for solo queue ranked games- you're self-sufficient and only rely on your aim and sustain from Devour and Dismiss

BabyJ back in Tier 1. He must be elated.

Thanks, you the goat

for sure, that's why good players on bad teams don't shine. but once they get placed in a team that has a good system going, they get their fair shot to show the world

Anyone got information for the rest of the America teams?

consistently failing to win when it matters most

Moving teams ain't gonna make Zekken win a champ trophy. Sorry brotha.

Bronzil with their roster decisions

tenz was the epitome of all aim no brain. When these guys started off and everyone was still learning the game alongside himself. those quick kills help make wins easy. Now that everyone has adapted and caught up with better team play, all aim is not going to always net you a dub in rounds and matches.

Sucks for him, gets dumped from g2 then dumped from c9. what's next?

It says a lot when a team and org chooses him to move to free agency when everyone else still remains. I thought he was mediocre all season. glimpses of good but mostly didn't do enough to keep them surviving or thriving.

only thing he clears is his contract with EG. LFT Derrek.

Hard facts. Stage/LAN play changes the dynamic so much. lol good Spongbob pajamas callout
