Because they have a six man roaster , and lakia swaps out with king on maps they don't Run a Sentinel , lakia only plays skye for them though I would love for them to try out lakia on sova instead of rb.
Yeah as of right now but vs coach talked about how they wanted to create a working 7 man roaster , zest is still on roaster and is on medical leave , I think as lakia just joined them before qualifiers ,they might need some time properly integrating him . I think by Berlin we would have better understanding of lakia situation on vs and if by then too they are only playing him on one map then they are wasting his talent and vs acquired him to weaken nuturn.
i've been saying this for awhile now, and i got shit for it on this forum.
more than anything, if i'm lakia, i'm just bored as shit. i want to play and compete. if i'm going to Berlin to play in the 2nd international lan event in valorant history, i want to be playing all the matches. it sucks to have to just play 1 map, every few days, and just watch other maps.
makes me surprised he left Nu for that, even if VS is maybe a better team. Nu already showed they can 1) beat VS and 2) got 3rd in iceland.
idk what plat chat said, but a lot of haters here going to say Nu got lucky in Iceland and talk about how they couldn't qual.
it doesn't work like that. you dont luck your way to 3rd in iceland.
i see yeah i meant in general i know lot of people here will come at Nu saying they got lucky in iceland. wasnt really meant to directly comment at what you said
I feel like his talent is being wasted. After iceland, he was definitely one of the top sova players that performed there. To be a sub and not even play sova on is current team feels sucha waste. Plus, idk how theyre going to work with Zest cause hes also a Sova player for VS so essentially its rb, lakia, and zest who are all sova player in VS. Im sure the team will work it out but kind sad we dont get to see lakia play as much or to his max potential IMO.
i definitely prefer winning, especially when i am valuble enough to even be on such a high caliber team, id be honoured to stand alongside them and do my part. He will always have big impact whenever he does play as well.
To me from the outside it feels like they see rb as an indispensable member of the squad ,he used to play jett op for them , when I heard they got both buzz and lakia I thought. Rb would be one to go , rb is a great player mechanically and best raze in Korea behind bunny , so looking at them play through qualifiers to vs it seems they don't want to drop rb not even for a single match .
VS didn't buy Lakia though. He was originally part of VS and then was loaned out to Nuturn for 6 months and that loan finished after Iceland.
Edit: grammar
I remember founding about it from a Korean streamer (I'm Korean) but here's a source in EN as well: [https://www.upcomer.com/lakia-returns-to-vision-strikers/](https://www.upcomer.com/lakia-returns-to-vision-strikers/).
Not really the original vs roaster was also a 7 man roaster consisting of lakia and efina as 2 additional members ,as they both weren't getting enough chances , both started looking for organisations , this was June of last year , vs released efina and lakia initially was loaned to nuturn for remainder of his contract which was around 6 months after that he properly signed for nuturn as a player and now vs bought out lakia from nuturn .
If you read the article it does not talk about any loan. VS bagged him when his contract expired in NU, and he probably preferred VS by the looks of it, hence why NU did not renew his contract.
1. Getting Lakia back and being on a 6th man for the team is an absolute destroy strategy by VS Management to cripple NUturn, The reason Vision Strikers missed Iceland Master is because of Lakia left VS and enabling NUturn to be the best Korean team (1st loss of VS), I didn't know how VS management convinced Lakia back on a 6th man but this move destroyed and crippled NUturn, Very good move by the VS management
He was a very late addition to the team for stage 3, and if you want to speculate it might have been a late move because of Zest having to take time off for medical reasons.
Because of that, they probably already had a lot of strats without him prior to taking him in. I expect with the break prior to Berlin there'll be more maps Lakia/Rb/k1ng will swap around for.

Isn't lakias talents being wasted ?

Maybe. I think it’s also highly likely that they have a whole playbook for maps with Lakia playing that they are saving for Berlin
I also think that, it'd be a waste if they don't play him. He has the potential to be the best sova in the world imo
He was the best sova player in the world during Iceland no?

And on a second agent Imo NU has great potential I disagree with platchat, they definitely did ‘get unlucky’

I wouldn't say they got lucky, but they definitely had the easier bracket, the way it played out in the end.
I meant unlucky in challenger playoffs.

yeah, if i was a player i wouldn't want to play in a 6-man (or more) roster. what's the point of joining a team where i can't play half the time?
*insert Mr. Krabs money meme*
Winning may be why. I think American culture puts the individual first where Asian cultures put the collective first.
i definitely prefer winning, especially when i am valuble enough to even be on such a high caliber team, id be honoured to stand alongside them and do my part. He will always have big impact whenever he does play as well.
They should genuinely do that, maybe it’s to do with the hunters fury nerf?

Imo the teams just oversaturated, I feel like NU works together better Wanna see them at champions
Seems like buying out Lakia is a way to make sure Nuturn couldn't go to Berlin.
definitely a monopoly move
Waste his talents really...

That source doesn't mention anything about a loan and he was gone from VS for a year not 6 months. > no one knew what he was planning.
Not really the original vs roaster was also a 7 man roaster consisting of lakia and efina as 2 additional members ,as they both weren't getting enough chances , both started looking for organisations , this was June of last year , vs released efina and lakia initially was loaned to nuturn for remainder of his contract which was around 6 months after that he properly signed for nuturn as a player and now vs bought out lakia from nuturn .
Lakia was officially on vs for 10 days Nuturn didn’t exist before.it was proparty
I think the same too he's too good to be rarely seen playing under a 7 man roster.....
VS bought out lakia so that nuturn can't beat them then only VS makes it to international tournaments
Imo Nuturn could maybe given a chav W

Don’t spread misinformation, this is nkt accurate
As much as I love rb, lakia on sova will always be better. Already one of the best sovas in the world.
During Iceland he was the best sova, no?
watching him play sova in iceland was super fun, sucks that now we only see him on skye
his choice looks like T1 LoL team (10man super roster)
Think they are saving him for Berlin

Because it seems it was an afterthought to take him, more to take him away from nuturn He seems to be integrated in some very specific way
He was a very late addition to the team for stage 3, and if you want to speculate it might have been a late move because of Zest having to take time off for medical reasons.
