Information we have as of now is that he might not be able to play till March, can’t be sure yet

In either case seems pretty done with TH

I believe it could be both, they kinda complement each other, Redgar’s strength is start calling and Enzo’s is mid rounding. We’ll see tho. KC looking nice

That is definitely not impossible at this stage

I try to translate all the rumors we get. Specially because I believe all of them are true. Some people choose not to believe em and that’s fine, but at least they know about them

It’s not that Scream doesn’t wanna try out, I imagine it’s more something related to the orgs only wanting Nivera and not Scream, and Scream being very short on options

FNC curry

Yeah KOI has an standard/low budget rn and KC is actually putting some big bucks in and offering a shit tone of money. Like KOI is one of the orgs paying less, but KC is not at the bottom, their budget is pretty large

And yeah, even tho a NAVI with Sayf seems really strong

Yeah that sounds more like it xD

"Hopefully will be changed soon"

Do you seriously believe that

Source is literally on the thread, I'll paste it again for you

That is the proof that he is practicing, everything else I have added is from his stream. Lembo is a reputable reporter

Alright 2 things

The ardiis part is not speculation, he is out of NRG for sure, and Lembo has also said he wants to come to EMEA. The same teams we have discarded for Sayf we can do exactly the same for ardiis, and he has been looking for offers for longer time. He said he is in talks with NAVI, so it is not speculation, but it's definitely not a done deal at all

And about Scream, this is also a Lembo report, but I haven't made a thread about it. The informations is Scream and Nivera still want to be together, but Nivera has been practicing for teams and Scream hasn't. According to Lembo one of the conditions Nivera is putting to sign for a team is that they also sign Scream, preferably as a player, but if this wasn't possible with any team, he asks them to sign him as a CC

According to Lembo, Sayf has started to actively look for offers (Does not mean he is 100% out, but it's not looking good)
He practiced with KOI yesterday but is exploring offers with other teams. The thing here is, Sayf sees with good eyes to be coached by Barbar again and play along trexx, but KOI can not match other offers economically. Therefore Sayf has to like the project enough to pick a lower salary offer like KOI.

Truth is, in EMEA, Sayf does not have that many offers atp, let's think.
Impossible:
BBL, M8 and Fut is impossible
FNC and GIA not making changes as of now
TH has the roster almost finalized

Not very likely:
TL staying can still be an option depending on what they do
VIT just signed RunneR but ig Sayf could join on a different role

3 options left:
NAVI, they have been in talks with ardiis and honestly I think that will be their move. Zyppan is also looking for offers which could leave an open spot for Sayf too, which would make sense an they offer more money than KOI
KC, they are building a very decent roster trying out Redgar and Enzo, and Sayf would fit, but idk if he would wanna be with Redgar again, depends to what point we believe rumors. They also offer more money than KOI
KOI, Sayf needs to like this project the most to choose it

Ig NA is an option

https://twitter.com/Lembo006/status/1698828284069323213

Both Luzuh and Russ have tried out but are completely discarded as of now. Not an option anymore

Do not take anything on Flynn’s spreadsheet as a report, it’s good to know rumors, but it’s just that rumors. Nothing concrete or trustable

Ofc they com in English

Being realistic I doubt he gets picked up, but has a chance Ig

Actually yes, update. Mf has been on vacation since off season started apparently, he just came back so you'll start seeing his name on try out lists now.
I'm not kidding tho, he trolled hard and it might cost him making franchising, hopefully he had a good reason

Fair, simplemente especificar que son ofertas de diferente tipo

I don't think it's the same situation at all. Cloud is Giants best player and they don't want to make changes, Zyppan on the other hand could be a piece NAVI tries to switch in order to get a fresh start

Matter of fact he is actively looking for those offers. You can take that in 2 ways, either he wants to leave or he thinks he is getting benched

Who would have thought

Glad to hear it

Well yeah but if they fight their mom can always just ground them xD
Maybe it doesn't make sense, but the fact that MiniBoo chose his nickname after his brother could mean they get along quite well

The good part is that it feels like it's a really really easy group to manage. MiniBoo and Boo are family, Riens and Woot are extremely close friends and Benjy is just the nicest guy, I don't see big egos

As of Boo's Igling on OGLU yeah, it was good, but he has big callers like Destrian and Molsi around, just like Boncold this year or in the past in Acend with starxo and zeek. None of the two are pure IGL's

MiniBoo is completely cracked, and btw when I say duelist/flex is because he has been practicing on flex and Woot on duelist. It just would make sense if they switch soon

100% agree with you, he is my main concern, that and the fact that I don't trust his capability to guide a young core. But it is pretty much their only choice

And he did switch to controller because that is his comfort role tho, he just couldn't play it with Avova on the team

Boo and MiniBoo are much cooler names, at least we gotta give me that

You don't know the players, it's normal, most people won't, but you'll be surprised, give em time

You're clueless if you think that, this is a massive W

About why Keiko has not traied out for absolutely no team yet. Mf has been on vacation since the off season started and has just come back, this has greatly reduced his chance at making franchising

Following info comes from Lembo's stream. But the club management's excitement about the roster is more than evident form the outside, for the first time they seem to be the ones that want the leak the most and keep teasing.

Anyway, as we know Boo and Benjy as 100% locked in. Other than that, we have MiniBoo's situation, it's looking like we will be having the Lukasevicius brothers together this year. He is pretty much a done deal. As of the other 2 remaining spots the information is pretty clear, Woot and Riens are the 2 names, both have intention of signing really, agreed on majority of terms but still negotiating couple of smaller clauses. This information also has a consequence, the stage of the negotiations with the 3 new players invites us to think Mixwell won't be part of the team moving forward, even tho we're can't be 100% sure, this 5 seem extremely likely

Boo smokes IGL
Benjy sentinel
Riens Initiator
Woot flex/duelist
MiniBoo flex/duelist

I can guarantee you, 100% of the 30 franchised teams would rather going 0-9 and winning LCQ rather than making playoffs and bombing out of LCQ.

Also, expectations matter. I encourage you to look for old threads right before the year started and see where people ranked KRU. There is not a single thread with KRU is higher than 8. So ending the year as a solid 4th seed of Americas is actually a massive success

No jodas... fuck
His birthday was this Saturday too...
RIP

By that logic TL had a great season because they won regular season? Regular season doesn't mean shit, what matter is how it ends not how it starts

There is definitely better Turkish sentinels

How is KRU top 4 Americas a disappointment, LEV maybe

Him and Aslan are going down to tier 2

I would 100% go for a mix of FF and S2G, I'd probably get rid of everyone but Quitoner and go full upcoming talents. Kind of like TH, that is the only way of building a team whose celling is as high as Masters Madrid, but do gotta say in both cases it has the negative part too, the floor is extremely low. High risk high reward move. And most importantly make sure you have another young player under your control in VCL since Riot allows partners now

Something like

QuitonerX Duelist
Paura/jeyj7y/Souchni IGL, whoever the coach considers better
Elite/yetujey sentinel
Jlerst smokes
And depending on the role of the IGL some other cracked rookie

Making Masters Madrid is gonna be nearly impossible for everyone, FNC most likely taking the first slot, so the other 10 teams literally all competing for 1 slot

Americas also broke xD

Apparently Vokashu is going to China, so I’m completely lost on who the other 3 are now

And MiniBoo likely to go to TH, as long as Mixwell retires

Koldamenta and zeek will most likely be on tier 2, Wolfen has a chance to stay but he might drop down too

Sorry for the late response my friend. Ik all of those 6 players and have also been following them for years. Actually big fan of MiniBoo so really remember rooting for Winteryrook when they were teamates in GMT. Same for SimonD4ark when he was Saiz's teammate.

Ik all 6 of those players, have been keeping up with sibeastwow (Check this thread https://www.vlr.gg/post/2211976/nasr-esports-vs-team-raad-challengers-league-mena-resilience-split-2-gf). And since I have watched most of the MENA league also with Winteryrook. I gotta say they both are really talented players but I do not think they are anywhere close to tier 1. And it is not because they haven't received opportunities, if Suygetsu, Shao etc got them and they didn't was for a reason, I do not believe it was a matter of luck.

Regarding Anq, stimx and Anoxia, haven't kept track of them for a while but what I can see is that they haven't been playing much or on anything relevant. Both were really good in their times but most of their success was quite a while ago.

And about Bisk, he is probably not fully tier 1, but I think he has maintained himself to a higher level than the players you have mentioned and is actually in an amazing shape. I can also pull some insane games and stats from him, from the past and the present

Also, I would like to have your opinion on this, since I can tell you know what you're talking about
https://www.vlr.gg/269873/roster-full-russian-tier-2

So KOI if we had money

Ange1 anyday

W yay

Aspas is the Brazilian Derke

Does it have to be the same 5 players? Because it seems like they are already split

I don’t think any of those is tier 1 level
I think Bisk I’d the closest it gets

Lembo dijo hoy que Klaus salía y que mta estaba probando

omw xD
