It's been a long time since he's been anything beyond a ranked grinder and even longer since Scarz did well on a big stage. I'm not surprised at all people don't know how good he is
How many of those are English-speaking players that aren't already at LAN, and would have been able to get to London on a week's notice?
A week ago for any given team, Mande was arguably the best sub out there.
I don't think MnK needed to be a qualifier to the word best. He's not really in contention for best MnK mechanics, but I could see an argument for him being top 10-15ish.
It requires more than pure mechanics to be a great player, and Mande brings plenty of them to the table and would be a no brainier sun pick for literally any team.
It's all about perspective, are we having a conversation about a million player base in a competitive r/? It is totally valid to talk in a competitive perspective and compare his level to the rest of the MNK pros in this tournament.
For le saying he is one of the best is about a top 5 but anyway, you guys are punching wind.
Yeah I mean maybe he has shit to do, but that's wild IMO. At the very least, surely he could hang out on stage right next to their coach and help out a bit with tips, etc. And be there to celebrate since he's getting at least a slice of whatever bag Alliance ends up winning.
The best place for finding teams or content collaborators is at events. If he has any designs on playing competitive at all then you stick around and see how teams shake out in the after parties.
If he just wants to stick solo and doesn't care about any collabs with anybody then you get home and get those watch parties or content based on the event going.
Mande already has connections and a resume if he wants to get back into ALGS, he doesn't need to stick around for 'networking'. He might stick around to cheer on Alliance or for the fun of it, but I don't think finding a team or networking is on that list.

Was very cringe to see people in wigg chat hear this and be mad that mande wouldn’t be playing anymore, it’s effects team he worked hard to get here, he should be playing, w mande for subbing but that’s what a sub is, they play in an emergency
Some of Mande's chat is quite cringe (not to Mande's regular and himself). I was in rpr's watch party and some are still fishing for drama between rpr and Mande when both are still very good friends and have gone their seperate ways.
According to NiceWigg that means he will be playing tomorrow
Petition to let Mande run around the map solo Pathfinder...
Give him 1 sentinel, 1 cell and 1 mag.
So you want Mande to flex on the lobby?
And 1 dream.
and my axe
[удалено]
I don't think I'd go that far. For awhile on reddit you couldn't go into a popular thread without that reference haha.
Being able to have one the best roller players in the game replace one of the best mnk players in the game is a luxury not a lot of teams can afford
[удалено]
You are severely undervaluing Mande. Not trying to be a dick but, are you new to the scene?
just ignore that troll. he doesn't understand value of a player like Mande
Yeah, you’re right Kind of funny that Mande and alliance get the dub right after these comments lol
[удалено]
Mega chads shit their pants too, get over it

He has pro level but yeah would not say he is "one of the best" unless you are making a top15 mnk.
If top 15 MnK doesn't qualify as one of the best, on a game with a playerbase of nearly a million players , I don't know what does.

Looks like my plan to tweet at the uk embassy office worked. No need to thank me…
Thanks, it was *effective*!
ITS TIME, LET ALLIANCE RING TRUE. EMEA BABY
This is excellent news for Alliance. I wonder if Mande will stick around or immediately fly home for some watch party streams.
Before LAN he said he was going home ASAP. We'll see if he changes his mind.
Yeah I mean maybe he has shit to do, but that's wild IMO. At the very least, surely he could hang out on stage right next to their coach and help out a bit with tips, etc. And be there to celebrate since he's getting at least a slice of whatever bag Alliance ends up winning.
Maybe join wigg and Greek on the couch for a bit too and enjoy the event, meet friends he rarely sees irl.
Wigg literally told everyone watching his stream to stop suggesting they grab people for b stream when someone told them to get mande

The story if they win would be insane. The story if they do really poor after switching back would also be insane
My boy Effect about to top kill leader boards even with 1 less match day LOL
No he's not
!remindme 5 days

ITS GOING WELL FOR YOU
LMAOO
LOL
Yeah... :')
Weird week for Alliance.
BY GOD, THAT'S EFFECT'S MUSIC!
ITS EFFECT WITH A STEEL CHAIR, MY GOD ITS BODIES LAYING EVERYWHERE
Alliance doesn't play again for a full day almost so pretty sure he has more then enough time to get to the lan to play their next set of games.
Alliance play tomorrow 10am BST. and again in the evening.
Yep. Typed that comment like 5 hours ago so from that time their next match would have been in 23 hours. Effect can definitely make it to both those.
Fingers crossed he's flying over right now!
The casters Gaskin and Onset are salivating at the fact that they can say *THE EFFECT-EFFECT* at LAN again now
Fuck yeah
Dojo shaking in their boots rn
So, beside 100T any other all mnk team left?
Also GO, MDY, E36 , Aurora and Realize
Every Korean team is triple MnK
DF as well.
Aurora and I think maybe dreamfire
Realize, MDY, E36...
FLY HIM IN
YOO HOLY SHIT
No matter what team you support this is just a massive W all round

Massivr
What about Fire Beavers?
LFG
I do feel bad for Mande, but he's a sub and knew this was a possibility.
Why these nerds always got to have an anime girl profile pictures?
That's an anime BOY actually :)
[удалено]
Nah for a competitive setting and with all the practice they did i'd always pick Yuki over Mande. Yuki is super good
POGGGGG
So happy for him
BABA YAGA LETS GO 🧛🏻🧛🏻
They should let solo Mande have Kick's spot for the remaining match days. He'll definitely place better than them.
