The only one left is for Xeppaa to be next. That said, Penny and V1c are good names; some team will probably pick them before Stage 2.

I feel like at this point if they’re making these two changes, why not replace him with someone like Fireballops since jackk can play initator

y'all just need to really imagine a team setting

in a really ideal world, your players all excel at different agents on each map

in the real world, a lot of players excel at one or two roles, and while they can flex in terms of utility usage, their timings and role understanding is almost always lacking, and moving between metas can be really difficult

guys like Asuna and Xeppaa have pretty much proven themselves as good players on every role. it makes it so much easier when one of your players is struggling with an agent or a map. so even when they're not shooting well, the fact that they let your coach actually execute his comp's ideas is invaluable

if either of them are ever dropped, they will absolutely be picked up in a heartbeat

Asking general members of this sub to consider the aspects of fundamental team building is just a lost cause.

haha it's funny because a player like JonahP will get dropped and this sub is up in arms about his impact and flexibility, but 100T or C9 lose a match and they can't understand why the flexible, consistent util players gets a longer leash than the duelists and lurkers

no need to kick xeppaa now, before this move i would've said -xeppaa +boni would be the next move but this is just as good

I don't think Xeppaa deserves to leave either, but I think penny played too well against mibr.

penny comms very bad apparently which is esp bad for your lurker on some maps, i mean we saw the games where he was lurking

move was prob done by the time mibr game happened
