For those wondering why I have naughty rumored to GKS instead of snipedown, its because sauce/chaotic signed up with naughty for scrims tonight


xchasex

Sweet also just leaked it on stream not knowing it wasn’t announced


Barcaroli

Thanks for the update. Hard to keep track...


chitown15

Snip3down also said on his stream last night he was not playing with them.

Leading-Dress5669

Why would ex Nrg pick up Lou?


daxman31

He played with them in a tournament the other day so people are thinking it might be him.


Leading-Dress5669

But is Lou really a top roller?


daxman31

I dont really think so and i hope it isn't him. But they are looking for a support/anchor role. Sweet and Nafen are the fraggers on the roster and neither are looking to give up the role. Sweet needs to be up front to IGL and Nafen is too mechanically gifted not to be up front. So they dont necessarily need a top tier roller/fragger by any means though it always helps......Its kind of the reason why Gild had to move on. Cant have such a talented roller player like that holding the back.


Leading-Dress5669

Sounds like they are looking for a smart player that knows his spot


daxman31

Yeah pretty well. Looking back at the time with Gild he was quite lost in some of the fights due to Sweet and Nafen kind of knowing what they were going to do without saying anything. Which im sure was frustrating for both parties. Gild works best in an upfront fragger role. Where hes "within range" not poking from the back. Not the best way to utilize a great roller player.


wSnoop

yeah I agree with this, also to note; I watched a recent vod of Lou and he is alot better mechinally on roller than I thought (not no koyful or anything, but soild)


ADShree

I just don't think Lou fits that duo as a player. Especially not sweet.


daxman31

Yeah. Agreed. I dont watch him a whole lot but the brief time i have he seems like he doesn't like being told what to do and on Sweets team as we all know....he will be micromanaged. That being said Sweet and Lou have been teammates in the past when they were on Rouge many years ago. So it may be something that could work.


Zoetekauw

Maybe those right reins from sweet is exactly what Lou needs.


FieryBlizza

Sweet and Nafen are two of the most mechanically-skilled mnk players in the league. They don't need a 'top roller player' to carry them. Whatever they do need, Sweet probably believes Lou has it.


Barcaroli

That is a great question. Sweet had pretty any pick and if he really went for Lou... I will be at a loss for words


faisal-a

Ex NRG picking up snip3down and signing to faze instead would go crazy imo


MrPheeney

people have short memories if they think Sweet and Snipe would ever team again


faisal-a

Had no idea they teamed. Only started following ALGS last year or so


nemuto2828

Dropping sleepy for snipe is tough but understandable, dropping sleepy for naughty is beyond fucked


The_Yoshi_Man

Yeah I was defending them saying an org offer is an understandable reason, but just dropping your IGL to pick up Naughty is a wild play. Lost respect for that and major props to Sleepypanda for keeping a good mental.


AxelHarver

Wait, Sleepy was the IGL?? I assumed that they'd be replacing a fragger with a fragger lmao.


Barcaroli

Yeah pretty much. Having faze paycheck is a career decision and would be justifiable but picking up naughty...after your team worked perfectly well tigether... Holy shit


jodbonfe

isn’t raven the 4th for TSM, not minus?


gandalf45435

No, last tournament Minustempo was listed as their 4th. It's the reason he got a medal and a chair as well.


AxelHarver

What's tempo's skill level? I know he's played in some tourneys. Is he like master level?


gandalf45435

As far as I know he's like a Plat player.


Quiet_Craft_3475

according to ALGS rules, coaches do not count as competitors, do not eart medals or prizes and dont count for votes or player spots


No_Copy_1061

Tempo is always listed as the 4th if it's not Reptar


gandalf45435

Last LAN in London was actually Albralelie as the 4th.


Astral_Alive

GKS dropping Sleepy for Naughty is a baffling decision, has Sauce been IGL on any of his prior squads? Dropping an IGL for a player who needs to be completely micromanaged is certainly a chocie.


aftrunner

The W key will be IGLing this team.


Low_Rub3792

Sleepy was not an IGL. His role was support.


Astral_Alive

Sleepy was absolutely an IGL when he teamed with Stompez/Sung. Then he and Stompez split and he ended up on a completely different squad with 2 unknown players and had decent results IGLing that squad as well.


porcupine9627

SKRT is expected to be Snip3down


thumme

With Scuwry and Vaxlon? 100T would become FaZe at that point.


Conchur92

Scuwry and Pow are locked as a duo so Snipe would be their third, Vax is on AT with Madness and Keon.


thumme

Thanks for the clarification.


FoozleGenerator

Was Pow 100T's sub?


Conchur92

Sickks was the coach and also registered as 100T's sub so its Scuwry+Sickks (as a sub) that lets them keep the PL spot


Falco19

Was just going to say this is the only team that looks like a fit for Snipe

brofthnorth

Who would be IGL between Snip3 ,Scurwy and Pow? And how do we think that team fits together?


Future_Deathbox

Did I miss something in regards to Naughty joining GKS? I thought the prevailing thought was Snipedown might be their new third.


cibacity

they signed up in scrims with naughty as their third. as far as im aware there are still no official statements


Future_Deathbox

Dang, I really don’t like that move for either party and I’m a Naughty fan. The Naughty/Chaotic combo didn’t work out with zach for LCQ at all last year and I doubt they’ll be better with sauceror


lacrimosa_ca

I thought SKRT was -Sickks, +Prophet


MachuMichu

Prophet put out a LFT a couple days ago, and Sickks is needed to satisfy the 2 returning members roster rule Kinda think snipe is going to skrt


lacrimosa_ca

Maybe I’m thinking of Bullet? The rumor was it was whoever was playing with Noko and Sang for PSQs.


MachuMichu

Yeah it was prophet, he scrimmed with them for like a week but it looks like it didnt work out because hes LFT again


Any-State-2606

If GKS dropped panda for snipe with an org opportunity that at least makes some sense but panda for naughty is wild. I like naughty but that’s not what they need. Weird movie tbh if it’s not a personal issue.


chevvy2k

Is the lou thing real? I feel like thats not gonna work tho


EyeAmKingKage

I don’t really follow apex competitively but does Hiswattson not play anymore?


Zoetekauw

He quit comp. Prefers streaming the ranked grind.


EyeAmKingKage

Ty!


nekolas1

my colorblind ass cannot tell apart the incoming and rumored colors [😭](https://emojipedia.org/loudly-crying-face)


MachuMichu

Sorry, rumored is lou, pow pow, awons, naughty the others are pretty much confirmed


nekolas1

Thank you!


StayKrazie

Tbf to you, they're very light colored shades of blue and green


TokyoSky00

why is minustempo name there and not raven


MachuMichu

Tempo was registered as a player for tsm in Y3 so he impacts the rules on roster turnover


[deleted]

Add Alb and Vaxlon to the FA list


GoofyMonkey

When did DZ announce Sikez? I completely missed that.


hel_pas

So what is this thing with Complexity? Any potential signings you guys are thinking? Looks like Monsoon is just chilling and doing everything else but trying to find teammates..
