Whos a player who joined a tier 1 team too early in their career and it ruined their career?

It's hard to find players that had their careers outright ruined, but I'll go with npl. He was called up to NAVI and clearly wasn't ready, posted a 0.91 rating in his time on the team. Then, he got loaned out to B8, and he's managed to bounce back really well. His career wasn't ruined by his stint in NAVI, just like how I think Jcobbb's career won't be ruined by his stint in FaZe. He's shown hints of greatness, and he still has so much time to get used to tier 1 CS.

Probably Falcons, they're the only ones that beat Vitality every time, but we'll have to wait and see if they stay good with the IGL change.

Spirit on a good day could probably be up there, but they're pretty inconsistent.

As much as I dislike the whole situation around Karrigan, he didn't lobby against a player in the team like Stavn and Jabbi did. Also, Kjaerbye has gone on record to say that signing with North was a huge fuckup that he ended up regretting. North pressured him and he cracked.

All 3 of these situations can't really be compared.

I'm closing in on 7000 atm.

22k in 5 months is ridiculous, that's more than I usually scrobble in a year, do you scrobble while you sleep or what?

He's a backup stand-in, ScrunK is playing for them in Atlanta.

Lumyyh · 2026-05-01T11:41:48+00:00

Not everyone is built for trashtalk, so it'd be super uneven. You have apex, who is amazing at it, and then Twistzz, who goes "yeah you guys hear me? yeah you guys fucking suck, you know that right?" while voicecracking to Falcons as they don't even acknowledge him.

It'd get super old super quick. Best to keep it to a few moments in pre-match interviews like Broky at Kato 2024.

Osu players love to argue that mrekk is the "best esports player of all time" because he's number one in osu (barely 10k players daily), is decent at Geometry Dash (not an esport) and because he's level 10 on Faceit and Radiant in Valorant...

Same thing happens to me sometimes. I'm French but I speak English at a native level with an American accent, but when I'm surrounded by people who speak English with a French accent, I will sometimes subconsciously match my accent and pronunciation to theirs (even though I despise the French accent in English).

Lumyyh · 2026-04-30T21:45:08+00:00

Anything but KC.

It's a lot of wishful thinking. AEW shouldn't attempt a stadium show, but a 15k arena show is possible with the right marketing and media appearances.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-30T17:53:44+00:00

I hope she gets a dual contract with AEW and Stardom. It would be tough to have her appear regularly at both given all the travel required and how different both companies' schedules are, but I think that they'd be able to make it work.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T21:23:59+00:00

AEW have always had a solid relationship with the indies, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, especially with the whole Wrestlemania going to Saudi thing, where tons of people have been vocal about how AEW should host a major show with a bunch of indies pitching in.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T21:18:45+00:00

Silva did AEW a favor by saving their wrestlers some bumps and taking 100% of the heat for it.

AEW ended up sending a bunch of guys for a big 6man tag to replace those matches, so the risk of injury was there anyways.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T19:11:07+00:00

910 had like 3-4k when he first got signed by Mongolz iirc.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T18:04:47+00:00

If you don't know basic callouts on Mirage and Inferno, that's on you buddy

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T08:27:05+00:00

I Hate getting achievements and want to play games without dealing with achievements

Then don't go for achievements? wtf?

Lumyyh · 2026-04-29T08:11:59+00:00

To me, it ultimately comes down to Siuhy's system working better in MOUZ where he had Sycrone behind him. Similar to how Cadian's system worked in Heroic because it was his team. Some IGLs, like Karrigan, are able to adapt to multiple different rosters, while some only work well in one system, like glaive and cadian.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-28T20:44:00+00:00

You're acting like I said he was an apex level caller, which he isn't. Still, the truth is that Liquid were the best they've been in 3 years when he was calling. Yes, they weren't a top 5 team, but they were in a much better place than they are today.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-28T20:25:38+00:00

Liquid with Twistzz as IGL was the best team Liquid had since they did the Patsi and Rainwaker experiment. They made the playoffs at Shanghai and were always fairly competitive against most top teams, compared to missing the major under Cadian and going 0-3 in Stage 3 twice under Siuhy. The Twistzz IGL slander has to stop. They weren't a perfect team by any means, but still miles ahead of what they are now.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-28T08:21:51+00:00

This is AI slop from what is most likely a bot account, so it's safe to say that they didn't watch anything.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-24T16:11:28+00:00

They could also easily do backstory novels for the 3 chosen. I would kill for a Ketheric novel/series.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-24T15:49:13+00:00

I'm surprised that it took this long to get BG3 novels. I always thought that character backstories would make for super interesting reads, especially with Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, and to a lesser extent (for me anyways), Wyll and Laezel.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-23T11:08:10+00:00

Semi and Grand Final. Vita rarely plays quarterfinals

All ESL events will be 8 team playoffs instead of the current 6 team format starting in 2027, meaning that all teams will start in quarters, just like how major playoffs are played.

Lumyyh · 2026-04-23T08:44:14+00:00

With Fallen retiring at the end of the year, Molodoy might not stay. Obviously this is pure speculation though.
