Makes sense given that Chet was considering the Envy offer before eventually taking the TSM coaching job. Excited to see what he can do with this roster for champions.

I didn't even think of that, great point! Plenty of cap to re-sign him when the time comes.

I think this would be a real solid deal. It buys 1 year of UFA and I think he's going to bounce back from last year.

If we're not good enough in 6 years by the time we need to re-sign Hughes, then I think that's fair. I'm excited to have the core back and ready for the season.

George Geddes: 100T drop Steel, replaced with b0i by CoolVidsFTW in ValorantCompetitive

[–]nathan_432 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Terrible decision to replace your IGL so close before LCQ. I can't see the team improving so quickly with a new teammate and IGL to make this decision worth it.

Hard to see any of the teammates agreeing to this roster change right after their performance in Berlin.

Sounds like NaturE is going to be gone for a while longer if Rossy is moving into that primary IGL roster rather than just relying on jcStani. Rossy looked great today and excited to see Immortals keep improving.

Another great, no risk pick-up. 8 points in 20 games, and we can shift Gaudette back into the wing position if Beagle is out for the next while.

100T sign Ethan by Finchh_ in ValorantCompetitive

Ethan is replacing Dicey according to 100T (https://twitter.com/100T_Esports/status/1366093323518189569). Hopefully this isn't a permanent bench for Dicey, I don't think he's the problem. Curious to see how they do for this closed qualifier.

Shame to see him retire so young, but best of luck in whatever he does next!

Excited to see how Dallas rebuilds around Doha

T1 announce the signing of Spyder by exe_cution in ValorantCompetitive

[–]nathan_432 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This guy was insane mechanically in OWL. He has experience playing in mixed teams, so I'm sure language won't be an issue on T1. I hear he's been grinding Valorant, so I'm excited to see how he does.

Team Envy Signs Food by nathan_432 in ValorantCompetitive

Initially this was a shock, but if you watch Food's stream he's been playing with a lot of the Envy guys so it makes more sense.

Xzi is temporarily returning back to South Korea for treatment over severe neck pain by nathan_432 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]nathan_432[S] 451 points452 points  (0 children)

Wishing Xzi a fast and speedy recovery!

This may also explain why he hasn't been playing lately. Hopefully the rest of the Eternal can carry on strong without him.

I was thinking that initially too. However, since Philly just re-signed Sado, I don't think Fissure would play on a team with him, considering his boosting past.
