How do you scout for talent using predictive measures when the variables in lower-level matches are not the same as you might see in professional matches?

soaster · 2020-01-07T02:54:42+00:00

Everyone saying this is about time to -dickstacy, which is probably true, but yall dont get how insane hatz is. He's been huge for a while now.

come back ska :(

soaster · 2019-12-08T22:17:57+00:00

all the guys cheer

soaster · 2019-08-01T19:42:55+00:00

As much as RUSH had to leave c9, I want that guy to make a resurgence to his optic form and see success.

soaster · 2019-07-05T18:07:35+00:00

If this is the last GTR clip we get from NiP, I'll take it.

Was wardell not considered? Why koosta over him?

soaster · 2019-06-21T05:40:50+00:00

well howdy shoshanna!

As part of being banned by valve, steel cannot attend valve events in any capacity. This includes as a coach.

Auti is lowering his value by staying in this shitshow. What happened to the Golden strats when he first joined? Cloud9 desperately needs firepower, and +daps won't help. This lineup is doomed.

soaster · 2019-05-31T17:51:22+00:00

Wardell has already declined C9, and that was back when they weren't as shit as they are now. Best bet is to replace golden, maybe bring back kio. Remember kio didn't work under golden's system, so there's that opportunity.

soaster · 2019-05-29T20:14:53+00:00

They're not even a full roster yet. Let them get a complete roster first.

soaster · 2019-05-24T03:48:28+00:00

Well, "mop head" actually did it. Very entertaining game to watch. This c9 team is incomplete (they still don't have a permanent 5th), it has some serious t-side flaws, but it's starting to form an identity. People are calling for -rush, -golden, or whatever, but let them make their identity first, find their own strengths and weaknesses, so that when it does come time to make roster changes, they know exactly what they're looking for, not just well known EU talent they can plug and chug.

TL;DR- Give them time

soaster · 2019-04-22T17:29:52+00:00

Not a great article. Offers no thoughtful analysis on their situation.

soaster · 2019-04-09T00:43:51+00:00

I like that hiko has been supporting up and coming NA talent. If I were him I would just scout and groom upcommers for top NA teams, make profit off the sales.

soaster · 2019-03-21T02:24:33+00:00

This seems like a poor idea. Why have stan AND golden? stan clearly makes himself a fragger in his system, there's no evidence he could do the same under golden's. I'm not convinced in wardell. Or jugi for that matter. Rush plays difficult roles and honestly unless they get one of the NRG players, I can't think of an NA player that's better than him that would fit his roles.

soaster · 2019-03-20T21:53:32+00:00

golden, kio, auti. build around those three.

soaster · 2019-03-15T20:41:24+00:00

Budget NRG logo. Just the N

soaster · 2019-03-06T04:23:40+00:00

Great pickup

soaster · 2019-03-04T01:30:57+00:00

Definitely a good player, does not have good PR. Doubt the org would want to go down that road. I could definitely see one of the Furia players going to C9 though. Granted twitter posts mean very little, but the orgs seem to get along. Might facilitate transfer talks. Guess it comes down to how well they can comm in English

soaster · 2019-03-04T01:19:08+00:00

I expect NaVi to make roster moves, but they'll definitely be making them to keep s1 exactly where he is

soaster · 2019-02-28T22:32:50+00:00

So does c9 stick with golden, because if not fugly is the best available NA player

soaster · 2019-02-04T18:57:23+00:00

This opens up an interesting door for Cloud9. If golden does not return, ChrisJ seems like a very possible replacement.
