yes Foxy9 played bad in playoffs and in internationals but then let him in play in big games like if u dont trust him why bench Zest in the first place ???????

WDYM they were insignificant matches like it was a miracle they made it to Tokyo . Like its pure luck that despite not scrimming much together in recent months they found key wins .

Zest played well enough in champs . Rb is not a sentinel player and yet played very well on senti in the grp stage esp . I am not mad that they were dropped the timing was horrible . Like dropping 2 players mid december is diabolical . Rb found a team in CN . Zest did find a team still stage 2 . If we talk abt tier 1 .

BeYN was a sub later but u cant deny the fact that Athan was dropped he was playing for DRX academy instantly after being dropped . Again the timing is horrible . + BeYN should not have been dropped in the first place he was insanely good on roles which didnt suit him in 2023 . Then even after performing very well in kickoff and Bangkok they should not have dropped him for Estrella .

first of all how is GE being shit . + GE is shit due to management reasons like :-
1)They pay ridiculously low salaries so they cant attract top talent like most players use GE as a stepping stone in VCT and then move to other rich orgs or orgs which have better chances to winning in VCT .
2) The owners and management are too open to their fans like plz respect their privacy and let them cook in peace . You create unnecessary pressure on them to perform .
3) Second year ofc players will ask for a bit of a salary hike GE is like uh uh no . Then ofc they cant create a core that they can build around . Like bro the org is shit imo they should no even be in VCT . Like for two years they were like no we are not going all in cuz logistics and then when they like ya we are going all in they sign only imo 2 hidden gems from tier 2(UdoTan and KellyS) and a super star tier 2 prospect in Kr1stal . Papi on paper was a good find but ya the less I speak the better and I guarantee you . PatrickWHO/ yokam was one of the few players who would play legit for league minimum so ya .
4) Why is the owner watches their players scrim like my guy give them some space .

I used to love DRX but the way they dealt with Zest and Foxy9 in 2023 , then how they just dropped Rb and Zest very late into the offseason like in mid december if I can recall correctly . I dont think they are DRX management decision its more of Termi decision but I think DRX management are to be blamed partly cuz they allowed termi this much freedom . I hated them even more in 2025 cuz like how shit they treated BeYN bro was legit treated like a use and throw condom icl . So ya + they just randomly dropped Athan 2 weeks before Kickoff and then sign BeYN .

he deserves it but he aint winning it in DRX

DRX exists we can't like them

Astra Omen Sova Yoru Vyse

ok so ur not one of those guys , but ur point is G2 played better than T1 yes micro wise G2 was way better than T1 but like T1 won the fights and stepped up at moments when it mattered the most . Like in no way that was a fluke . + you could even argue G2 got cocky in game a lot of times between rounds in voice comms they were saying bracelet , bracelet as if they won the game already as if it was just a matter of time that they would win the series .

lil bro say u dont like T1 anymore cuz how stax , BuZz and Autumn treated Sylvan sometimes

has to be ASCEND some players have fallen off after winning a trophy but these guys became the epitomy of trash after the trophy win except cNed and Starxo until last year + that ilegal cypher cam

aspas doesnt bomb out of champs lil bro

Juvenile and Florescent are licking their lips after reading this thread

ok then who plays raze ??? dh is good but monyet , forsaken are way better

trent Sova > N4rrate
N4rrate fade > Trent
Tejo is irrelevant so ya + trents fade is so much worse than narrates so I had to put n4rrate

bro with how the roles work had to leave them out needed an igl who wouldnt play alfas roles

ukw should do that

Spring played duelist half the year like what ???? prolly true if u got for flex but not for smokes buddy like he played primary smokes for 2 tourneys

I get u but if u put in alfa which I did there is no room for nats which makes boster the better choice . I am not discrediting u just the thing is alfa is pretty good on senti and is insane on duelist too and if u put chronicle in too u have to put boaster no?

fax

na i was talking abt calling ya in terms of fragging I expect nats to be the front runner in those scenarios

bro u copypasta'd my roster + skuba cypher is not it fam icl

no he is a gr8 flex plaayer without a doubt but his playstyle suits more supportive agent classes like ini , smokes and senti . + he is not that aggro in terms of raw playstyle so ya

I agree but the thing is keeping that option of a team which can play double duelist and double senti which my emea allstar team can so ya thats y I diagree with these drafts

makes sense but in big games of an international tourney who would u trust more to igl nats or boaster

besides raze he hasnt shown much from the other duelists

yes you can but keeping that as an option is also good no ?

I prefer Boaster IGLing over nats icl but nats is insane as an individual but boaster is the better igl

but this team doesnt have an option to play double duelist then

tbf it is decreasing with every passing day so like u need to make your move quickly

I mean I dont watch EMEA expect the playoffs and some KC games so ya

Thoughts???

wtf who calls cNed charles Neddington

is it the government name of an english / american pro?

who in the flying fuck is charles neddington

prolly the women from GC

Kvara type shit

ya hamar wtf is this donut doing

same I also doubt the same but Reduxx aint that good on smokes lets be honest so ya + if u get bao u basically get bang again so ya just the thing is what do u exactly do like dropping anymore feels wrong but this roster current cant do what is required and like either revamp the entire system or make drastic changes or else I dont see SEN finishing top 4 . Like PRX are better than them , G2 is better than them , FNC if they get their shit together is better than them , I say RRQ is also better than them and TH if they get their shit together they can be better than SEN so ya . Very complicated situation to be in if u are Kaplan

its not the anti strat its sen playstyle which G2 can easily handle with . Its not even their playstyle is bad the thing is they dont have the right guys to execute the playstyle

Thats also the thing if ur Kaplan what do u exactly

bro 100T raw talent > SEN raw talent is straight up the most delulu take I have ever heard

I think u get rid of either Zellsis or Bang like they need a guy who is willing to run in with Zekken like who can support Zekken with playmaking thats I think their problem rn

but they consistently lose to G2 IK they are better than nrg as a team I am not accounting for todays loss but imo opinion this team genuinely has a problem

na I am talking after champs like no way in hell sen change their roster now

If ur Kaplan wtf do u do like srsly . U clearly got 5 insanely talented players the problem being only one of them is truely an aggro player the rest are passive . Like wtf do u actually do u ofc wont put narrate on duelist , narrate is aggro asf on duelist but on ini he tends to be more passive . Bang is more of a traditional smokes player and is not aggressive . Neither is Zellsis who anyways plays ultra support roles and JohnQT is on senti and will lurk on most rounds and him on ini aint it either . Like do u sell n4rrate like he is flexible but like considering his stats thats an obvious no , Bang maybe but the thing is in americas there arent any aggro smokes players maybe Valyn to some extent but na . U replace zellsis like he has been up and down but on flex he is back to his best . Like I am genuinely curious imo u either kick bang and trial reduxx or bao on smokes or kick zellsis and get some one like Nismo .

Pipson and Waylander

ya making ppl responsible for random ranked interactions is weird asf unless they are malicious . PROFEK was saying it out of malicious intent but that shit was 3 yrs ago he is ofc a changed guy like why we bringing this shit up

the funny thing is the CEO of riot is himself indian . Like yall's influencers show the worst parts of india where the bottom 10% eat and stuff normalize that shit bro like what . Ppl say India!! Uh stinky ppl I dont think have been to nyc and paris . Like trust me 50% of those cities smell worse than indian slums . Yes I agree there are a lot of dodgy indians who do really bad stuff but why do you westerners think yall dont have dodgy ppl . Yes I am not supporting these Indian ppl but guess what if one person is a fcking wanker that doesnt mean that entire population is like that .

bro look at his other sage games and not his sunset one

na I think keep the coaching staff and players thats it its not a coaching failure , its a player nerves thing
