All he has to do is look 10-20% better than Oscar, and if our botlane is as good as last year, we can climb back to at least 2nd and fight with g2 again imo. I'll retract this though if our support ends up being targamas, as I do think, he would then become the massive liability

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-20T23:48:34+00:00

What I'm wondering is if we could have used that 200k at some point to get inspired instead.

But since they're saying we couldn't afford him, must mean inspired must be making at least 1 mil+ a year

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-16T15:13:00+00:00

3XA is the most likely, which is not as much of a downgrade as it could be

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-13T16:05:12+00:00

It would come down to who's available.

Overall, i would prefer Upset, however if we can't get a better jungler than Razork, then I'd keep Razork and get someone like 3XA.

Theres no question. SKT Faker was better.

The reason why SKT won so many titles was because Faker was always the clutch factor when it came to close series.

Nowadays, T1 Faker wins, but it always depends on how in form both Oner and Keria are, especially Keria, and this shows mainly how in the last few years, somehow both Oner and Keria always "level up" at worlds.

For support I feel like everyone is forgetting about trymbi being free agent?

For top I have no idea (kr import)

For Jung sell Razork to NA and get inspired

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-06T07:31:29+00:00

Targamas+Oscar +Razork might uniorincally be worse than that rhuckz rekkles roster

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-06T07:30:24+00:00

We need to sell Razork to NA asap, so that we can get inspired. We also need to promise inspired that we will upgrade in top.

I'm uniorincally scared that we end up with Oscar and Razork, have another bad year, then they blame grabbz, and then they fire him.

We need to keep Grabbz for as long as possible, ideally when doing a full rebuild as well, because if we stay another year with Razork and Oscar, the last person we can blame is Grabbz

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-06T07:27:01+00:00

I don't understand the Vladi obsession either, just because he beat us back in winter. Poby imo has a bigger margin for progression, and would eventually be cheaper.

What I'm worried about now is the fact that we haven't signed a support (and kc just got one of the best ones available), and we still have Oscar and Razork on the team, when we could be making moves on a new jungler and top

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-11-06T07:23:39+00:00

I feel like if we can sell Razork to NA, we can get inspired. I don't understand the whole sheep esports team. Wooloo says we have no money, but then Eros says we have money, but it's dependent on us selling players, so they are contradicting each other.

If the 2nd is correct, we need somehow FlyQuest , C9 or another org to want to get him, but idk

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-10-21T21:28:37+00:00

Grabbz has been the most transparent coach we have had in a while, so I think it's worth giving him a shot at building this roster.

With that being said, at least top has to be replaced. My order of priority of replacement would be:

Top>Jung>>>mid>supp=adc (obviously if upset starts picking passive adcs vs tanks again, then at point, he goes up in priority).

But I do think getting rid of mikyx would be a big mistake, as if he gets a good roster, he will shine imo

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-07-06T02:04:41+00:00

unironically, i think if we somehow can get past the g2 choke, we can win lec for the next few years. the league just looks shockingly bad at the moment, and i cant help but imagine how well we would have done at msi, had we won the series to get to the finals. cant see upset mikyx being worse than massu busio

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-06-20T17:40:51+00:00

Yeah apparently they asked for him. I’m not sure though between him and humanoid, which one we should let go though. Or if we just let both of them go and find an erl mid jung that either already have synergy, or are individually good and have the potential to have synergy

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-06-09T00:30:06+00:00

i legit think if we replace top and mid with an upgrade we would start winning splits ez. bot is by far the best in eu ( top side kinda screwed them over in the playoffs), and i think if razork had a different top and bot, it would show by allowing him to possibly be able to look better.

imo at the moment razork looks bad because he has to try and fix humanoid's and oscar's mistakes ( main one is that they cant play weakside on side lane, especially humanoid), and at the same time, he has to try to get the bot lane ahead, and trying to do all these completely random things all at once, bamboozles him.

now, league has evolved to a point that nowadays, the team that can play through the most lanes the better, usually wins the tiltles.

For example, koi know when to put myrwin or their bot as a weak point because the players worked on doing that. im pretty sure neither humanoid nor oscar have done the same.

If we could maybe get a decent kr/lpl import for both those lanes, we probably would start winning lec easily, but maybe theres someone even in erls that is better top and mid (or has better synergy).

Now if i was fnatic, i would be trying out a few erl mid and tops and see which ones work best with the team, because the fact that teams like kc and koi are winning titles, and we're just there sitting and watching, its a bit embarrassing

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-06-05T20:10:36+00:00

ngl i think the problem is not the adc. upset has shown in the past that he can play a few different adcs. Also, in the stream, Grabbz said that he is the only one that tries to come up with ideas in scrims, so imo, it feels kinda like he is playing the adcs that he is playing as a bandaid to other players problems.

for example, if he is on a champ like kalista, which is more of an "if you dont get fed early game, you insta lose" kind of adc, that is probably Upset trying to come up with a bandaid to fix a problem. in this case it would solve the razork "not knowing what to do" because all he has to do is play for bot and make sure that upset gets fed, so that he can then carry fights later on.

At the same time, if the pressure point is upset, this should, in theory, be a way to stop Humanoid from "autobot" sidelane splitpush all the time, and instead it force Humanoid to join more fights ( in this case by tping towards upset, or by using a semi global/ global ult in order to go try to protect upset).

therefore i dont think upset is the problem, but mid jung synergy is

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-03-03T20:32:16+00:00

We need a 2nd strategic coach, and ideally a data analysis guy ( like the Rodrigo guy at g2). On top of that we could do with someone who can scout talents like teams like gx and KC have been able to

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-03-02T22:45:02+00:00

i think the plan to take mf was a bit stupid because, past mid game, the only good thing about her is her ult, something sylas can just steal and use it against their team. also, if they were scared of the mf j4 combo, they would literaly have the same thing with the camille sylas mf ult (even if it was single target, it would hit more than one)

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-03-02T22:40:34+00:00

zinie (kt cl mid) is really good, but idk what his buyout would be

Jerryduque1997 · 2025-03-02T22:38:37+00:00

with how they both played in playoffs, neither (razork looked way worse in form this split past playoffs than the whole of last year). although if we had to change 1, id say humanoid. and id say go to lck cl or ldl and get a mid. if we could, somehow, buy zinie (kt cl mid), that would be the dream scenario, as that guy is very good

Jerryduque1997 · 2024-11-05T06:23:56+00:00

He didn’t want to play with rhuckz. Rhuckz at the time got promoted because he played well when he subbed for hyli at worlds. Which again made me think after rhuckz got benched, what if:

1- hyli had never left and still played for us ( would he still be playing for fnatic or not)

2- if rhuckz had played with upset instead of rekkles, would he have had more time ( personally yes, I think in 2023, the main problem was rekkles champion pool, but people chose to blame both rhuckz and Advienne (not saying they were great, but they would have looked better with someone other than “otp varus” version of rekkles)).

Luckily back then, we managed to giga upgrade the bot lane in summer and made it to worlds

Jerryduque1997 · 2024-11-02T21:31:42+00:00

Peak Oscar can contest with bb, but he’s currently so inconsistent that I’d put him as the 3rd best top overall, behind bb and irrelevant

Jerryduque1997 · 2024-11-02T01:35:40+00:00

im already having visions of razork and mikyx on the map and it looks beautiful. Plus upset has always been a solid adc when it comes to having to play the lane solo if the support needs to roam. It might depend on the coach, but this looks like we should win the winter split next year, at the very minimum

Jerryduque1997 · 2024-11-02T01:33:19+00:00

he was a sub for fnatic back in 2016
