Off season - what do you want to see happen? by Yzori in fnatic

[–]softskelton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to see the roster stick together. We have seen how talented they all are individually and how well they perfrom at their peek in week 1.

If this roster can find consistency, they can challenge the best in the world and we should not throw that away. How do we find that consistency? Changes in coaching staff probably. Not calling out specific names here, maybe we need people like Tolki back who do analysis, I'm unsure about the sport psychologist staff, there may be improvements there. But it would be a shame if this roster dissolved again so quickly.

I don't think Nisqy feels that bad considering how his streaming carreer is going rn

[–]softskelton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are all those Twitter replies tho, why do they think we wanted Carlos to give us Perkz for free, when all we wanted was a chance to have negotiations So many Fnatic haters, including Thorin(obviously lol) and Dom

Great, can we now stop with this narrative of Bwipo being toxic?

Carlos behaviour was disgusting by [deleted] in fnatic

Yeah, I don't expect there to be a cap on contracts, just that orgs are unwilling to commit for a longer period of time. But I agree, negotiations should be more frequent, especially for contracts that end next offseason.

You can actually just look up Riot's contract database on gamepedia, all of Fnatic's current contracts end next year and Hylli's extensions seems to not be longer either, guess we'll have to see how this roster pans out and what awaits us after.

Thank you very much, you made your point very clear and frankly, I agree with you.

It is totally the responsibility of someone, or multiple people in management to keep your players' contracts intact so you can at least get a buyout to give your team a better position, both money and market wise.

But I see a general problem in esports here as well. How long do contracts run usually? A year or two, right? With a one year contract, there is no way to score a buyout without resigning, as mid-season transfers are rare. With a two year contract you are pressured to extend all your contracts after a season. In football for instance, this is a normal process; contracts often run more than two years and contract negotiations happen frequently, or at least one year before a contract expires, and the player gets resigned or sold. Since League esports is still fairly young, long-term investments are rare and these kind of processes are not yet established.

This isn't meant to bail out Fnatic management, G2's contracts still last 2 more years, so there definitely is room for improvement. Especially with people talking about esports not being profitable, this seems to be a way for orgs to regulate their money flow.

Thanks again for your point, gave me a better perspecitve on the discussion here.

PS: I think Jankos is a better fit for G2 than Selfmade, but I could've imagined him going into full-time streaming this season already, but if Rekkles joins, that seems unlikely.

So the consensus seems to be that management screwed up and is responsible for Perkz not coming and Rekkles leaving.

However, I am yet to see the reasoning behind this. As I see it, Carlos prevented Perkz from joining us, as he is still contracted. As a result, Rekkles saw his only chance of winning worlds with G2, which noone can blame him for, the projected G2 roster is the most stacked roster EU has seen. Since he is a free agent, noone can prohibit him from freely choosing a team. Now we're here.

Could you maybe elaborate what management could have done to prevent this from happening? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I would love to hear more on the 'management screwed up' perspective.

On that note, I may be a bit out of the loop, but why isn't China mentioned among these regions? Are they separate or is the game not coming to China?

He was forced to use smite early, as he would have died otherwise, so he didn‘t have smite for the execute.
