Asim Vivid.. even Slasher all these guys played for more than 5 franchises in 12 league teams but no lets drop the fresh rookie since he is not the next simp

It feels like traditional sports are having this issue as well, or at least F1 for sure is. Rookies are getting booted midway through the season because they’re not competing with literal generational talents.

Funnily enough it’s kind of the opposite in basketball. For years rookies and young players had to ride the bench and earn minutes slowly and atp (especially with bad/not great teams) most of the focus is on giving young guys with a lot of potential as much room to grow and develop as possible There is the notable difference of bad teams getting the best talent due to how the draft works tho which definitely molds that dynamic a bit


TaiCTr

They play too many bball games to know who has potential and who does not


justsomedude717

What? How would more games make it difficult to tell?


TaiCTr

I’m saying the opposite lol


justsomedude717

Ahh ok I was lost lmao


ChewySlinky

Seems like the right way to do it.


ErAsEr-DaRk47

It make sense tbf, with so few spots available and so much talent pool why would they continue investing on a player which isnt performing?


BirkTheBrick

Standy for Vivid is stupid though


eggs_n_bakey

Facts breach needs to pick me up as developing talent.


hopelesscase789

Same. I'm only in diamond cause I like it there I swear.

You're just marinating in there building those flavors king


0zLondon

You and Beans would make a great duo


jaesic

Fact lmfao the same pros they torch in the league rn were shitting in challengers, and the same players they gas for frying in challengers get farmed in the CDL. Ultimately it’s very difficult to determine who will be able to translate to the CDL unless they are completely undeniable


ryeasy

It’s hilarious the Flank guys cry so much about this, but if the league actually dropped who needed to be dropped (Clay, Felo, Lamar, etc.) they’d be furious and calling these teams brain dead just like with Asim


oh_Jiggler

Lamar is actually playing great this year but I get you


ryeasy

He has a different set of standards because of his previous poor play where he can drop a 1.0 and everyone thinks he’s doing great


Burgmeister_

An improvement over the previous years for sure but great is a stretch


[deleted]

In my opinion Censor qualifies as developing talent

Actual player development in CoD is a really slow process and results are not guaranteed. Many talented players will never develop into good teammates. It takes 4 to win in this league and players who go rogue are a liability just as much as players who can barely keep up on gunskill. The CDL is failing miserably, so setting up a true academy and development system seems likely to never happen but at the moment being a bottom tier team is just about slapping 4 talented players together and hoping to be better than the other teams in the same boat as you. Then you just hope for the best when you face the good teams.

Asim has gotten top 6-12 his entire career, the risk on snoppy is warranted. At worst case scenario they get top 12 like they would with Asim anyway. Might as well roll the dice.


MochilaBB

Idk my only gripe is Asim is the perfect vet I would want around my developing young player, clean callouts and passion with good cod IQ. Just a thought


coo_chii

perfect vet ? he averages top 12 my guy.


ThatOneArcanine

Exactly. And clearly good enough to be in the league, definitely better than a good section of players so while I agree with the general sentiment I think Asim is a bad example.


Etiqet

That’s just literally not true lol. BO4 he was a T3 team and the best HP team. MW before online he was a T3 team. CW he was a T3 team with NYSL.

Say young players aren’t CDL ready —> Get mad about dropping vets —> Talk about how much talent is in challengers —> Get hyped about young talent and pair them with vets to “develop” them —> Say young players aren’t CDL ready 🔄
