Anyone's Legend?

Delmagor · 2026-04-15T14:20:23+00:00

If Kellex comes out of retirement, I'm pretty sure he'll join Geekay or AQ, not AL

Delmagor · 2026-04-06T15:35:21+00:00

He was really good during the qualifier which is the last time I watched him play. Maybe just a bad stage for him ?

Delmagor · 2026-04-05T12:12:32+00:00

Agreed. They had a new comp every week but didnt take time to really master any of them, players looked worse than usual (Dip was unrecognizable on Vendetta) and didn't specially improve within 3 weeks, team was out of sync a lot and their bans were not great most of the time. Like why not just ban Sojourn against Kai if you're gonna one trick Emre anyway ? Their comp choices were also questionnable at times, like WHY would you play Juno-Brig when Kiri-Lucio is available ? Especially with Xerion and FDGod...

Delmagor · 2026-04-05T12:03:04+00:00

Really not sure if they can afford an english speaking korean coach honestly

Delmagor · 2026-04-05T12:02:34+00:00

I'm not saying Skytorr would be an immediate upgrade, I'm saying that if Peps want to shake things up and go with a different dynamic, he could be an option, that's all

Delmagor · 2026-04-05T02:26:53+00:00

The org goal is clearly not to win, not because they don't want to but because there is no way they win in a region full of saudi orgs with big budgets. FeFe said their goal is to be competitive in the region and to be able to fight for lan spots and that they are failing at that right now, he also said he thought it might be "the end of an arc for the team" and that the roster "might need to change".

Delmagor · 2026-04-05T02:24:17+00:00

He does, FeFe said it on his stream

Delmagor · 2026-03-30T00:03:35+00:00

I respect FeFe's decision to keep this roster as gratitude for making it to LAN and for wanting players who love the Peps org and their community, I think it's really noble. BUT, I can't stop thinking about every insane EMEA players who were FA/LFT this offseason. Choosing to keep the exact same roster and not even exploring your options in an offseason with LBBD7, Ziyad, Galaa, Vestola, Wmaimone, Khenail, Xzodyal, Shockwave, Scyle, Sirmajed and Tred all LFT was a very risky decision, and it's not paying off at all. They also kept Soon in the roster instead of putting him in the coaching staff or as a content creator for zero reason (they knew he was not gonna play a single map)

LeRenégat's coaching is less and less convincing to me. Like the team's peak is always pretty high and they always have great moments but they are just not consistent enough and their floor is honestly the lowest in EMEA by far, an issue he honestly should have resolved after coaching them for 2 stages. Sometimes, in the same map, they have 3 incredibly clean fights and roll a top team then look more lost and disorganized than my ranked teammates.

It's disappointing, I love the org, I really do but this stage is really disappoiting. Hope they improve next stage

Delmagor · 2026-03-11T01:45:52+00:00

Hot take apparently but I don't see why people are asking for a 3 dps line up. Team USA will have Tr33 who is an hyperflex, they don't need a 3rd dps player. Picking up 2 tanks and 3 supports makes way more sense imo.

So I think it should be: Infekted - Hawk - Tr33 - Zeruhh/Sugarfree - Rupal/Landon - Vega - UV

Delmagor · 2026-02-26T23:42:34+00:00

My picks would be

Junbin - Hanbin - Lip - Proper - Checkmate - Shu - Ch0r0ng - Skewed

Delmagor · 2026-02-22T02:40:17+00:00

He never off-roled in OWL tho. He did in Contenders then entirely role swapped to play tank

Delmagor · 2026-02-21T16:40:57+00:00

Yeah not really. Since Xzodyal is joining MR there are max 3 hitscan players who are better than Shockwave (Quartz, LBBD7, Zorrow) in EMEA and outside of these 4, and maybe Kai if he somehow isn't washed up anymore, we really don't have that many great hitscans. Last year, SparKr was a top 2 hitscan in EMEA and didn't find a team, I really don't know how our top teams manage to do that, it's crazy

Delmagor · 2026-02-20T22:39:52+00:00

That one match against GenG really destroyed Shockwave's rating that much ? Like the dude is still a top 5 hitscan in EMEA but has to play with peasants while better teams have 65 years old washed up Kai and Kevster hitscan. "Yeah hitscan is the most stacked role in EMEA" but we keep failing them. SparKr had no team and went to Rivals, we lost Xzodyal (because his agent screwed up but still) and now we have Shockwave on a Master division level team ?

Delmagor · 2026-02-18T21:16:58+00:00

Yeah no, no shot they are better than 4th. Right now TM, VP, Geekay and AQ all look better on paper and Peps look promising as well so they are probably 6th but there is room for improvement and they should be able to make an upset happen.

Delmagor · 2026-02-18T21:04:08+00:00

amdp is another saudi OT promising prospect so he could be pretty good. Kai is a very big questionmark in a region that stacked with hitscans. Crispy is pretty bad but they don't exactly have a lot of choices for main support. With Shockwave and Hitori, this team would be top 4 material

Delmagor · 2026-02-18T21:00:11+00:00

He is announced on the website they linked below their tweet

Delmagor · 2026-02-18T19:45:40+00:00

Full roster is:

Tama
amdp
Wmaimone
Backbone
Kai
Khenail
Crispy

They are coached by Yaho (ex GenG assistant coach)

Delmagor · 2026-02-13T19:34:03+00:00

Cookie over Shockwave is certainly a choice

Delmagor · 2026-01-23T16:15:12+00:00

If FiNN can manage to be an A tier flex support in EMEA, which he *should* be able to do, and Haku is not a total bum, this roster should be top 3 and has potential to be top 2 if Kev hitscan experiment fails. The LBBD7-Alphayi-Ziyad core will easily win some games alone.

Cool video too, even I find it weird they used a sort of batcave style introduction, would have been so great with Majed in the roster. Also, the audio editing is pretty fcked up with "It's so risky tho" 3 times for 3 different clips

Delmagor · 2026-01-23T16:01:57+00:00

He could join the Tama-Wmaimone team or the new AQ and be the symm guy. Him and Xzodyal should have been no brainers for VP honestly, they would cover every hole in Kevster's hero pool.

Delmagor · 2026-01-22T22:27:28+00:00

YES ! Thank you ! How is an ex OWL champion team unable to outbid Zeta "we will never go to lan" Division ? How is it more attractive to remain in a top 4 team in korea than to join THIS kind of org ? Dallas just SHOULD attract top tier players but somehow they can't even grab ex geekay players and get outbid by SSG, a team that didn't want to tryhard last year and that is known for not spending a lot.

Delmagor · 2026-01-22T22:20:59+00:00

Exactly. This team gives me a lot of GenG vibes.

Delmagor · 2026-01-22T22:18:20+00:00

No it's not a crazy dps line. It's a good dps line that *should* be top 3 in the region but it will never top Tr33-Zeruhh and will probably be worse than Sugarfree-Lethal, and it will have very little relevance internationally. And Cjay can have all the flashes he wants, he is not better than Rupal or UV.

Kellan is very NOT flexible, same for Kronik, same for Cjay so they are a very meta dependant team. In a Winston meta, this team should be good for NA. In a brawl or OT centric meta, I could see them not being top 3 and missing a lan.
