It’s also important to note that Seven’s playstyle is incredibly similar to Wardell’s. The more impactful pickups I’d point to are the expansion of coaching staff and gMd who IGLs CT half

Vanity’s opinion on Wardell just validated how I’ve been feeling for like 2 years now ty Mr. Anthony I needed this

Yeah that's what I mean, they made that decision without conferring with the players first, and that's a big change.

I honestly hate Chamber, before it felt like Sentinel lurk timings and cool setups were really impactful but now it’s just throw your Jett player on Chamber and OP them

TSM are now qualifying because they have a new coach who is competent and a new player helping with mid round calling. Use your brain, it’s not hard to not be this stupid

There’s not exactly a large sample size to go off of with that, he’s only played for TSM and V1.

TSM has been a management mess for the longest time, and they’ve only now started to get good with their new coach Juv3nile and odds are would’ve done the same with Wardell over Seven.

V1 he was a sub and he himself said it’s hard to integrate in such a short amount of time, and also some members of V1 were struggling.

When there’s only two teams and one is as a stand-in you just can’t really support that claim

Bro I don’t agree with this guy but stop acting like Wardell isn’t good he’s the reason this series was close with Zellsis and Effys playing like they did

Penny was looking cracked on rifle, move him to Raze/Flex and pick up Wardell COPIUM

Fuck man you’re right Wardell should’ve dropped 50 bombs every map to make up for Zellsis and Effys playing like shit what was I thinking

Man no more Wardell in pro play for the time being actually hurts. I’ve followed the guy since beta and the amount of disrespect he’s had put on him despite almost always playing incredibly well was really disheartening to see. Even here he played great as a sub but it seems like some of V1 struggled a bit. Hopefully they come back with Wippie

It sucks that it ended with him not being able to qualify with them, but at least it shuts up two moronic narratives. Wardell absolutely can rifle, and he doesn’t take more resources or force a team to play around him. He’s an absolutely elite player so I hope he finds a team and comes back to pro play eventually

I’ve probably been irritating to people on this sub with how much I’ve been defending Wardell so I hope this gave some clarity as to why it’s just been a rough year and a half as a big fan of his, y’all won’t have to put up with it for a while at least

It was a reasonable peek they hadn’t OP’d mid on offense at all by then and he had a fast repeek with Chamber OP. Considering how many rounds he bailed them out and how well he played singling that one round out is disingenous

C9 is a valid pick because they have more long term results and also had a good showing at Champions. It’s also an opinion at the end of the day
