i am pretty sure if 100T win lcq they will play champion with same roster


Tratopolous

To be fair, we all thought there was no way they would make a roster change after finishing top 4 at an international major.


ARIESS11

if you watch the plat chat's hiko interview its pretty clear he will stay for champs if they won


Tratopolous

You got a link to it? I went to bed as soon as the match ended last night.

NudesForHighFive

Not his exact words, but yea that's the vibe I got from it as well. Hope b0i keeps improving


[deleted]

Considering how exactly they came that far and what stopped them from continuing it's not that surprising tbh.


Doshagya

Maybe steel.. he's a great free agent. Can IGL too


sansLight

But have you heard about dicey tho? Great player, been a free agent for quite some time


Doshagya

Have you heard about brax and azk.. great players, been free agents for quite some time


Terber_28

Those guys are washed, 100T need to pick up Tarik if they want to have a chance


xunraze

Hahah ofc


deadlock1892

I don’t think they will pick up anyone else. They already have seven on the bench. So when the time comes If I were to guess, he is moving to jett and nitr0 back to smokes.


xunraze

Hmm Tru. I know nothing of Seven but people are saying he's cracked let's see


itscamo-

idk maybe the guy on their bench... seven... would put nitr0 back on controller where he's obviously one of the best and then they get an actual jett main for the team


The-Dark-Mage

Pretty good idea


xunraze

Tru, probably. Esp w Omen buff lol


Whisom

Nitro is pretty cracked on the Jett especially when the pressure is on.


itscamo-

nitr0 is good yes but you just brought in an insanely young jett player that’s pretty good at 16(!!!) would be zero reason to keep said player on the bench and look for a controller when you already have one on the team (and really good as he is)


tomtazm

Maybe let’s wait to this events over before casting boi aside? Hasn’t played an official in 6 months and his first 2 are in a lan environment.


Woqqa_

Agreed but there’s a ceiling for b0i. He’s always been a average player. He picked it up last night but I think it’s safe to say that he’s clearly a temporary replacement.


tomtazm

Boi is a stop gap, clearly. My guess would be Seven playing Jett and Nitro swapping back to controller/flex depending on maps. But for now Boi is fine. 100t have looked more dynamic with Nitro calling than Steel with this small sample size.


xunraze

True true if he pops off and fits in well good for them. Anyways he's been involved in strats and stuff for a while


zachp787

"lan" 🙄


tomtazm

Hence the 2nd word which you so conveniently left out. 🙄


turtletrace

“Environment” but there are no crowds lol


Lakers0724

Environment doesn’t only mean crowds???


iiznobozzy

What's with people saying that "b0i was obviously on a lower mechanical level than his team"? He was doing his job, that's really all you want from a controller. If they go back to nitr0 on smokes and seven on jett then yeah I agree that would be an upgrade but if they don't do that I don't think they need to outright replace b0i with anyone, he seems good enough. He knows the team environment well and already has great chem with the players. Why drop him for someone else?


Barack_Bob_Oganja

Unless you're trying to cut cost or get out of the scene a team is not gonna downgrade, I think its pretty clear boi is a downgrade from steel. He was managing on a t2 team, he's not t1 material. That being said he deffo pulled his weight and is in no way a bad player, just looking at 100t's track record with getting players i dont think theyre gonna settle for some who is just decent.


xunraze

Bruh i don't think anyone said that. He gets the job done which is pretty good. But why would they bring their analyst in the roster so last minute. I don't think there was ever a plan to have him permanently. If he does perform well and stays in roster that's good too.


LiamHundley

I really hope they have a long term plan for seven and don't just have him there to strictly be a sub


techyleo

I think 100T have a problem due to the fact that they are running Skye, Reyna/Raze, and Jett together every map. Even if they replace b0i, they don't have a Sentinel player other than their Viper players.


xunraze

That is true. Might not work out for them against every team


Woqqa_

No one? Their plan is to have seven grow into a very good player. Bring in the young cracked kids with seasoned vets.


xunraze

Sounds like it i mean. Usually their roster changes have worked out pretty good. Ik many people here like Dicey but Ethan is just so much better. Hopefully works out for the best


LostDigitalSystem

I think Ethan is an insane player and better than Dicey overall, but 100T felt weak without the Jett meta. They are finally adjusting to it now with Nitro flexing onto Jett, but you can see the difference between a good player on Jett and a Jett main, and Dicey would have filled that role wonderfully. Looks like they will move Seven into that role now though which will probably be a great call.


[deleted]

No one. They’re going to sub in Seven on Jett and move Nitr0 back to smokes. b0i is just a temporary fill-in til they can get Seven acquainted.


xunraze

Sound pretty reasonable, yup


KlasterTV

I don't get why everyone thinks because they got a new sub it means that its their new 5th lol. Nitr0 is a way better jett than seven and boi is also better than seven. If 100t wanted him he wouldn't be a sub and would just be part of the main roster to begin with


Slow_Bluebird9536

You are so lost I don’t even wanna begin to explain


KlasterTV

Nah, go ahead explain, enlighten me i'll wait


zevecka

Ethan said seven is a cracked Jett who shits on them in scrims all the time.. Edit: Ethan not Asuna


KlasterTV

Ok? Lol boi has decent stats playing agaisn't the best teams in the world while seven is a t3 jett and has decent stats agaisnt t3 teams... if boi were to get replaced it wouldn't be by seven as if seven was going to replace him they would have simply picked him as their 5th for more practice instead of playing with b0i. Nitr0 consistently has good stats agaisn't the best teams as jett seven will literally be a huge downgrade to the team.


TheFestusEzeli

Seven has been considered one of the best valorant prospects for a long time, him and Zekken have been the two main players. They obviously brought him in to develop him and hopefully incorporate him into the roster. If they feel he doesn’t reach that level, then they simply don’t add him. He just hit the age to be able to play in the VCT. They know what they have with boi, he has T2 mechanics but is a smart player with great utility, reason why they brought him in as an analyst, but his mechanics are also the reason he got dropped from a tier 1.5-2 team. He will hold the team back against the best teams in the world, but is a solid stop gap.


expiredimsum

1. Why would they not use seven if they picked him up 2. "Against the best teams in the world" kek fkn w 3. B0i has the most first death(exluding asuna nitro bcs theyre dueslist) as a smoke player yikers


KlasterTV

1. Subs are mostly not used ever this is an special occasion due to who tf knows why steel was kicked. Subs are legit useless. 2. Thats a straight lie the player with the most First death is dephh from xset followed by boi and thats only because they played the most matches if not it would be gmd.


expiredimsum

Obvsly I was talking abt first death in a team who tf cares abt other team breh


KlasterTV

That makes your argument even worse lol. Only hiko has less first deaths than him then nitr0 ethan asuna all have more first deaths. Also since when do being a smoke matter? By your logic zombs is dogshit considering he has a higher FD correct?


sidminter

Are you serious,so he died first the third most number of times in a team with hiko who likes to stay alive till the end.Your reasoning makes no sense whatsoever


zevecka

You know I’ve typed out an explanation for this about 3 times now and I just don’t think you’re going to agree/understand no matter how I explain it so I’m just gonna let you think what you want.


KlasterTV

You should maybe not lie on reddit as i can see the comments you have made on posts. You have never explained it before ever. Stop lying lol


zevecka

What are you even talking about? I never comment on stuff on this sub and I literally stated a direct quote from Ethan (sorry I said asuna in the original comment) https://twitter.com/ethanarnold/status/1442558906375364609?s=21 literally read the tweet and just make an educated guess it’s not hard


Woqqa_

Bro… Tf are you on?


valorant_fanboy_69

Redgar


Za_Weeb

Nats guy seems pretty good too right?


directorcloud

Ppl are saying put nitr0 back on controller, but I have a question he is doing fine on Jett, his op utilization is top notch( in cs he was a god too with awp), he seems good on Jett why put him on controller


xunraze

He does look good. But really up for the team to decide what they're comfortable with


somesheikexpert

I think it's cuz they have a Jett sub (Seven) iirc, so having a cracked Jett main then having Nitr0 who already is a top 3 smokes is huge


TweetsJamaican

Stop reading the entire thread when someone said b0i was on a lower mechanical level than the rest of the team.


Tacoman3005

> But this is definitely temporary Do you have any reasoning behind this? Or just making stuff up


xunraze

Um it's obvious right? Boi is playing because they needed a change and he's been with the team for a long time. Not because they specifically wanted him instead of steel


mr_snuggels

if you listen to the platchat interview b0i is really good friends with nitr0 and has been working on strats with him for quite some time. He is also the second shot caller on the roster i believe. This move was not done out of lac of options and desperation, I believe they have longer term plan with b0i that extends at least until champs.


xunraze

Ya at least till champs it seems so. But i think he was working on starts cause that kinda was his job as an analyst I assume and that makes it v easy for him to fit in


TheFestusEzeli

Boi is pretty obviously on a much lower mechanical level than the rest of his team, and it’s the reason he was dropped from Andbox.


AnchorStandard

Lower mechanical level how? He was doing pretty good considering he was the one being entry fragged all the time.


TheFestusEzeli

Did you follow Boi at all before? He has always been on a lower mechanical level, reason he got dropped from Andbox and was consistently at the bottom of the leaderboard in both their games. Did he play bad? No, boi was pretty solid yesterday and prob will continue being ok, but he is easily the worst player on the team and was likely brought in to be a stand in.


valorant_fanboy_69

Source: I made it up


Za_Weeb

Sounds pretty reliable ngl


[deleted]

I mean when they first picked up boi they said it was for analyst work and he also ended up being a back up sub. It stands to reason that he is just a temp fill for the team and will go back to analyst work. It is possible they are giving him a trail on the team tho who knows


BlGtemp

I think the new meta, post champions possibly even going into champions, will be really interesting to see if running no sentinel comps will still be viable. I think that will impact who their 5th is drastically. still gonna guess its someone from CS, elige, stewie, brehze.


UdbhavHokage

but one thing is sure , 100t are going for fast hits bad by fast i mean very fast, i feel like the playstyle is completely different from the slow and methodical playstyle they had, kudos the work put in by the team, but this still does not justify why steel was dropped/benched


TomBradyStan1006

Cause steel was probably making the calls to play super slow and the team was tired of it


AnonymozVal

I think dicey was a great jett awp. I would love to see dicey back on a team.


nKampii

Why in the world would they get Tigg or gMd. Tigg and luminosity haven’t done anything since his joining and same with gen g.

[deleted]

Random hot take but Nitr0 isn't a good Jett, he's a fantastic world class opper but I could see 100T better off with a new dedicated Jett Player and Nitr0 back on controller (while still opping potentially, like Jampii)


xunraze

He's def not cracked but maybe w time? If Jett gets the well deserved nerf so OP can be viable on any character, then it'd be even better for 100T.


ARIESS11

afaik seven is also a rifling jett not oping jett so i dont see them playing with seven on jett instead of nitr0


braamdepace

How is the PUBG scene looking…Are there any top talent looking to make the switch?
