I still dont get G2 dropping Virtue he is one of the most consistent players in the world and brought that over to the team and they still struggled being consitent. hope they can properly rebuild
@@highgroundatzfrom his tweets, virtue looked like he was looking for a team that had passion, passion that G2 lacked so that could explain why he left
Perhaps, but Wolves pretty clearly showed their ceiling was top 8 (and even less lately). Maybe that's good enough for some, but if they wanted to be a title contender it does seem like they had to make a change.
Dropping Biboo I can get behind honestly. He isn’t bad but his ceiling is just not that high But dropping Shiinka is crazy surprising. He was like top 5 support world I feel like
I thought Shiinka was pretty solid. Maybe they could have just made 1 change to see how it would play out, rather than 2. But there are only 2 stages per year now, sometimes you have to do drastic things.
I'm pretty convinced that all of G2's issues largely stem from something wrong with the in-team culture. Because Benja has looked infinitely better in the small samples we've had lately than he did on G2 at Manchester. I feel like shuffling around 4th and 5th players isn't really the solution here. Even worse when one of those players is Blaz.
@@highgroundatzI'm inclined to think it's either the coach or Alemao (I wanna believe coach because I like Karl). Their coach saying he'd lost faith in his players was really telling. I don't doubt the players were a bit lazy or complacent but the coach needs to establish that working culture and belief that they can do well and need to work hard. Culture is king and that's the coach's job. We've seen how important coaches are with Beastcoast and PSG talon.
Just for a bit of info for you about sarks, he played on a team for EWC that knocked out WYLDE one of those players (bomber) got banned for cheating and I also believe currently that Sarks is also being investigated for cheating as well.
Your piece on fnatic aged like fine wine given their consulate game yesterday against G2. Questionable drops for sure and some questionable consulate attacks.. will have to see if sarks can turn it around
Its hard to look at all these teams and see how any can beat out BDS in any way. It’s a little sad to see the G2 decline as ive enjoyed PENTA-G2 as most people have. But also seeing the decline in Rogue-Koi-whatever name it is now as well. A lot of these roster changes are very interesting and different compared to the NA changes. Will look forward to see how these changes result into actual games.
@@gstanfill8469 they have but this one seems very different than the others. The motivation as other people commented seems to be that factor. Its almost as if “because” we are g2 we should be winning. I think having fabian as coach was pushing that we just arent g2 and should win. We are g2 because we have paved that path to always win. Its crazy to see the new team fabian is coaching has that passion and drive that g2 lost without him. I also could be wrong in every thing i say lol. Hope the best for all the teams and roster changes. I love to see players succeed even if its not the teams i like.
tbf ITB did have much more life in them at EWC than manchester! They had a competitive game against furia (although 7-4 doesn’t look great they were FIGHTING for their lives) and 7-1’d faze in their elimination b03. I think there is a serious argument for ITB clear top 2 in europe going into stage 2
Deleted my chalked ranking/tier list. Wylde is looking to qualify gor this major if they keep up this level of play. Completely underestimated wolves and overestimated ence.
@@highgroundatz well have to see, my bet is no, young player, out of brazil, nor speaking the main language, it will take time to stabilize his performance, BUT, it is just a punt, he could just fit right in and start frying, nobody knows

The G2 changes look drastic at face value, but it probably means something we can't see from the outside was very broken.
The broken part is Alem4o being an idiot egoboosted
@@highgroundatzfrom his tweets, virtue looked like he was looking for a team that had passion, passion that G2 lacked so that could explain why he left
@@highgroundatz yeah that something i was guessing but you just couldnt Tell from the outside
Same with benjamaster
I think it is not exactly people writing wolves off, it feels more than it is surprising to drop such a legend like Biboo and people are disappointed.
Perhaps, but Wolves pretty clearly showed their ceiling was top 8 (and even less lately). Maybe that's good enough for some, but if they wanted to be a title contender it does seem like they had to make a change.

Thank you for these caliberjacob used to do them but he doesn’t even upload
Mine is the only game in town unfortunately (maybe there are others I'm not aware of)
I honestly thought after the start of this year that VP wouldve made at least 2 changes but im happy they didnt and hope they get Top3-4
Those dudes are inevitable, somehow you can never count them out

Do you think it's a coaching thing?

Literally started watching the NA moves as this notification came up 😂
Watching for the algorithm as well.
Not watching for knowledge...
@@highgroundatz Why you bully me. 🥲
You're free to go lil bro
Just for a bit of info for you about sarks, he played on a team for EWC that knocked out WYLDE one of those players (bomber) got banned for cheating and I also believe currently that Sarks is also being investigated for cheating as well.
Surely there's not a serious chance he's a cheater if Fnatic picked him up, right?
@@highgroundatz nope its really possible than he cheat

Brutal first day for Sarks and Fnatic, going to need a big turnaround in performance to not potentially end up a (the) bottom team
Ayo Freq is in Tier 1 siege now W one of the best talents out there
I have heard people talk about him for a while, think he'll live up to the hype?
@@highgroundatz hopefully, he’s a very mechanically gifted talent, so hopefully he can adjust into the team well and frag out
Wylde kind of cooking...

G2 has had declines before they’ll be back
G2 has had some questionable rosters, but they are also the only org to win 2 SIs so I won't count them out.

Yeah, it's not clear at the moment, but a good stage could secure them that hypothetical second spot
rogue is back baby
Is that a good thing?
@@highgroundatz they were good in berlin although i suppose that was ages ago now
Much has changed since those olden days
Gotta do NAL predictions with tomjsherlock?!
I'd be down, don't know if we can make it happen though
Deleted my chalked ranking/tier list. Wylde is looking to qualify gor this major if they keep up this level of play. Completely underestimated wolves and overestimated ence.
Going to need to see a lot more from Wylde than 2 Bo1s. But just based on the first week, they don't look like the worst team in EU like expected.
So….did you see Wylde take BDS to the limit? 😭
I did and I won mad JesseJChick channels points from it
Yo thanks could you do the best region and do a video on all of the roster changes in mena
I know very little about MENA so no dice there
you saying mena is the best region?
@gstanfill8469 I was being sarcastic it's mostly a region of washed up eu players
I dont know the story very well but apparently this sarks guy helped bomber cheat against wylde in ewc quals
Wdym by helped?
Helped how, was just on the same team?
@@highgroundatz the story I heard is he was the host on the games bomber cheated and replay was disabled
@@highgroundatz he was beefing with t3b on twitter and was also being called a cheater by a few other t3 players
Loira was carrying bd in brazil, so it makes sense
Can he carry UUNO tho?
@@highgroundatz well have to see, my bet is no, young player, out of brazil, nor speaking the main language, it will take time to stabilize his performance, BUT, it is just a punt, he could just fit right in and start frying, nobody knows
VP second in eu ?
Considering the competition in EU right now, I see them as somewhere from 2-4 until proven otherwise.
bar BDS, EU is in the worst state it’s ever been in
Can't confirm, but it's possible
yo please do Brazil if possible bro
Big Brazil guy?
just the best region itw🤷♂️@@highgroundatz
Itb did chance. They drop seadea there analysis
Fair enough, I didn't cover staff changes
Honestly vp can get second
It's very possible
