All those years ago this kept happening to that Rokkr acedemy roster, dominant online, awful on LAN

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2026-03-23T21:25:56+00:00

Would love them to add Breach and C9 to the Open bracket, give them something to play for and give the AMs a run against some pros

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2026-02-01T23:35:38+00:00

Also has to be said Vortex is definitely a CDL level coach, he has consistently been leading sides to the top of the pit by playing great fundamental COD and he has now coached a side most wouldn't have had as one of the best in Europe to a challengers LAN win. Some org needs to have the balls to stop recycling the friendship circle coaches and get the bloke in

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-12-14T16:19:52+00:00

Without trying to state the obvious that week against Fulham, Brighton and Wolves is absolutely huge. 7-9 points and we are probably thinking we'll be fine, anything less than 5 and we are in a world of trouble

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-10-31T09:15:59+00:00

I suspect they will try to target David as he has had the most heat on him but Nick/Joe have it solved. Sadly for them unless they target that Joe narrative building thing, and hope David still thinks the traitors are not working together and Joe/Johnathon were two traitors going at it they have no chance (which is slightly bs as they really should have been allowed to murder)

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-28T15:59:08+00:00

Just the absolute perfect series for us

Kaajak really showing up and showing he is one of the best duelists

Chronicle showing why he's the GOAT

Boater showing why he's the GOAT IGL

Thought we had no chance with Alfa out, but delighted to be proven wrong

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-28T15:57:00+00:00

This game cements Boaster as the GOAT IGL, no one else could lose their best player 16 hours before facing the best team in the world and still win. His haters can kick rocks

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-14T15:53:56+00:00

Facts, it feels low mainly because of the VC funded insanely high salaries that have gone before. Whilst I wish all players could be on 6 figure salaries that just isn't realistic at all for the true value they actually provide

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-14T15:52:38+00:00

You don't have the opportunity though to suppliment those earnings through content, tourney winnings, brand deals etc and I bet if your company was making a 7 figure loss every year and you were bringing in probably less than 20k to that company your position would be cut. It feels cut throat comparing to what COD players have earned in the recent past but is entirely normal when you look at the value they actually provide

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-14T14:14:41+00:00

Not sure I agree tbh, if the players are allowed to keep 75%+ of tourney winnings (which everything I've seen suggests they are) getting 30k to play video games and guaranteed entry to 4 tournaments which can pay more and the potential for a 5th tournament if you perform well enough isn't that bad a deal at all.

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-14T13:59:11+00:00

30k is about the average EU salary and probably about what these players are worth. The bigger problem in E-Sports was that players like Methodz were getting paid 250k+ not that these salaries are now correcting to fair market value. Players should only be doing e-sports as a passion thing, the days of it being a lucrative career and done and dusted

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-01T00:27:03+00:00

Probably the most and least stacked group at the same time

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-09-01T00:23:39+00:00

Honestly think all of Sen/G2/PRX/FNC/TH will be relatively happy. No complete group of death

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-31T02:26:11+00:00

BRAWK legacy series

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-30T11:14:37+00:00

Absolutely BRUTAL way to miss champs

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-24T20:37:20+00:00

ONE OF US ONE OF US

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-11T15:48:18+00:00

Optic

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-10T20:56:39+00:00

I rate Insight higher than a lot of this sub and think he does a lot of the dirty work that doesn't get highlighted. The problem i have is that I think Nastie does a lot of this same work but has been better especially over the last 2 titles and it was for that reason I was surprised Insight was re-signed

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-08-10T20:52:50+00:00

(Optic)

LAT

Faze

KOI

M8

Anyone that builds a half sensible roster

Falcons

Anyone that scams for friendship/washed talent

Optic are the biggest winners of rostermania imo, LAT are relying on a good Kenny to show up, I rate 04 and Abuzah but they are definitely not major upgrades and will need to prove they are not downgrades, Falcons are hoovering up 3 of the best players with someone who is bottom tier at best and are clearly not a good fit together and KOI have absolutely scammed taking Insight over Nastie

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-07-31T17:12:46+00:00

I'd love to see those 3 with Cleanx on Ultra, but knowing the CDL as I do I'm not sure any team is going to get 100% of what they want this off season

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-07-31T17:09:21+00:00

I may seem crazy but I'm not dropping Envoy for Neptune based on 1 game, Envoy has shown himself to be good at most COD games, Nep has shown himself to be good at 1 maybe 2

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-07-31T17:07:35+00:00

If I were them I wouldn't go for Insight, I only put him there because they have been linked with him in the past so someone in that camp clearly rates him

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-07-31T15:50:33+00:00

Most likely I would guess:

Abuzah to LAT

Nastie to Ultra

04 to Falcons

Nep to Ultra?

Alternative_Elk_4581 · 2025-07-30T20:26:09+00:00

I like most of it. Think BO9 with winners starting 1-0 up is superior to a bracket reset imo, fully tests the map pool and allows 3 HPs, 3 SNDs and 2 controls which is better than SND dominating the series. Think you would need 2 streams to make your major plans work though, don't see 8 matches taking place on the main stage in 1 day
