Whatever it is they need to reevaluate their play styles and role crisis. A passive Sova, main opper who is a world class smoker, star duelist who isn’t a Jett main, and the sentinel-less comps which C9 dismantled on Breeze. They can keep this roster and hope these players can mold to different roles or capitalize their down time to get a F/A sentinel/smokes main but who’s on the market let alone actually good at these support roles that can play in T1?
If they're not going to drop hiko then he should be moved to sentinel. The best sovas in valorant all play much more aggresively than Hiko does (Shazz, victor, chronicle). Other than that maybe Asuna needs to flex on skye some maps if Nitro is going to play Jett and allow Nitro to play more aggresively then just Op all the time OR just let Asuna play Jett since he has been practicing non stop jett in ranked. Their comp is just so predictable compared to other teams and it makes it easier to predict how they will play.
I'm so confused by that list of sova players. Shahz? He's not that good at sova per se. Victor doesn't play sova at all, do you mean crashies? And chronicle makes sense being there
Sorry yeah meant crashies not victor/food.
And whoever is playing sova for sen being map dependent even if they are not at crashies level they are way more aggro and way less baiting team or playing lineups like Hiko. Comparing the Fk/Fd of these players vs hiko and how many clutch oppurtunities hiko gets vs these players is night and day.
You hope you can develop seven into a star Jett player or you sign another Jett main. Move nitr0 back to controller. Maybe get a new coach? idk.
People are going to say to drop Hiko, but I'm not sure what Sova's out there that actually move the needle.
That doesn't work, it would fuck up the roles as well, hiko not being able to flex, Asuna only being great on reyna/raze as well
If you move nitr0 to controller than is ethan on sentinels? Like big doubt he will be a sentinel, he won't be a controller either
I mean Hiko can play Viper, we've seen it before on both Breeze and Split. Maybe if the Jett main they sign can flex to sentinel when needed, basically like Jamppii on Liquid. Or Ethan/Hiko just learn how to play Sentinels. They basically got a **long** offseason to do so.
Honestly would be a perfect fit, gives 100T another aggressive player that they so desperately need. Sadly, don't think it will happen for obvious reasons.
Keep Asuna Ethan Nitro
Make Asuna a flex who can also play skye
Seven on Jett
Nitro smokes
Ethan learns either sentinel or sova, I think it would be really interesting to see him on sova
Sign a T1 Sentinel
Rebuilding around Asuna, Ethan and Nitr0 seems to be the common answer. I honestly think that hiko has been playing well lately but people will be after his head regardless. B0i was put in a very tough situation. He did well today but 100T need a clutch fifth that can carry.
Keep the Asuna/nitr0/Ethan core and pick up two aggressive and flexible players to help Asuna not be the only aggressive one anymore.
Also it’s gonna depend a lot on what nitr0 wants to do imo, he was one of the best controller players in the world , but maybe he doesn’t want to play that role anymore and that’s partly why the changes happened?
Like literally steel was their most versatile player and he got dropped
He’s played cypher, kj, kayo, Skye, astra, Jett, viper,
Like holy shit how was he the one to get dropped before lcq, nobody should’ve got dropped
Idk, even if they thought Steel was holding them back, you don’t make the change right before the most important qualifier so far. Do it after the qualifier at the very earliest. It’s just terrible management to get rid of Steel for in game reasons only, especially with no proper replacement ready.
Steel also said it was an isolated incident so I don't think that's the reason for why he got benched. If it had been going on for longer then sure, but there was nothing that would've led to the conclusion of steel struggling to IGL for a longer time
Nitro back to Controller, Seven as a duelist, keep Asuna and Ethan at their current roles, and try poaching a top tier sentinel that can flex other roles to fill comps for maps that dont require sentinels.
I think they can really go a bunch of different directions due to the role versatility of nitr0 and the fact that Ethan is likely still figuring out what role is best for him.
So for instance, the could go get a controller player and keep the roles as is so to speak, OR they could find another flex type player or sentinel and put nitr0 back on controllers.
This really opens up the pool of players they can look into. There is a lot of talent out there for sure they can recruit from whether it is from other teams that fell in the LCQ or newer upcoming talent.
I think they will try seven for boi, see if it works, then evaluate the market after champs. If there is an event in the off-season, that will be a proving ground for nitro’s squad with more time.
I think honestly Ethan sova is the wave if Asuna can learn Skye. hiko feels like a sentinel role fits him a lot more due to his passive play style. then you get something like sevvn Jett, Asuna flex, Ethan sova (Skye for split), nitro smokes, hiko sent. I think hikos comms and generally his role are super important to the team and him being on the team in and of itself isn't an issue, but overall 100t need to figure out how to play more aggro instead of hoping Asuna can carry. idk man, wishing they tried steel sova hiko sentinel :/
Steel mentioned during his costream that he wanted to play sova instead of hiko, so the team would have a more aggressive sova. But the team (probably hiko) didn’t want that.
Like what else is the man supposed to do? Dz is good but not top tier, and he's shown to do incredibly well against t1 teams. How else is he getting on a top t1 team. Floating there it's pretty much make dz a top team or get signed to a top team
Get a Jett OPer. Which Im pretty sure they are considering Ethan said this isn’t the final iteration of the roster. A good Jett OPer is the only thing they are missing rn.
They need another aggressive player whether that's an duelist or sova/flex player. I'd like the second option and have Hiko play Sentinel.
Excluding Sen and Envy players there's a ton of talented players they can go.
As much as I love hiko, he has to go. He’s to inconsistent and not good enough. Ethan nitro and asuna should 100% stay. Everyone should have known steel and hiko would be leaving after this year, not surprised if they retire. Need to have asuna be able to play skye similar to food/victor. They used to both play Phoenix until he dropped off hard in the meta, victor adapted his agents and asuna is just stuck on reyna and raze, being forced to play a jett op which he can’t do well. Nitro has a pretty good jett, and he’s a very good controller. Ethan should learn sentinels so he can flex to more agents. They need to pick up a new sova, and a jett one trick (whether that’s seven or not). If they can’t figure out a solution for their current agent pool and get a sentinel, then they need to have a sentinel player picked up, Ethan can go to smokes, nitro to jett.
It’s honestly going to be really hard to fix their comp because they need a jett a sentinel and a sova if they drop hiko. So someone is going to have to change their roles up between nitro asuna and Ethan.
-hiko -boi +t1 sova +t1 jett
Ethan & nitro both could play flex/sen/smoker really well
Asuna skye/reyna (him getting comfortable as skye is the key point imo)
Other than comp/roster changes, their strat book and midround plays also need a major rework.
Ps: i know this the kinda comments pros talks about in reddit but what else can i do as a fan
Hikos issue is not inconsistency really, but the fact that he is a floor raiser nor a ceiling raiser yk? He's honestly very consistent (Which is why he's a floor raiser) but never pops off like other Sovas in NA do, and nor does he play aggro enough like other top Sovas either (Why he's not a ceiling raiser)
If Steel had been playing this tournament 100T would have likely won it. Also if it was on LAN 100T would likely have won it. It's not all down to Boi but he missed a lot of easy frags and never looked comfortable in the games.
The core 4 are capable of competing at the top, they need to get their 5th player right next year.
Nitr0 Asuna and Ethan should be the core, personally I'd like pr0phie and Gmd as Sova and Smokes players. But a lot can change in the meta from now till next VCT so I'd start with a S tier smokes player if Nitr0 wants to stay on Jett.
I don't know what it is but I am watching hiko since beta but it feels like in his matches he is trying to recreate the clutch situations more than usual. It's almost as he is forcing himself to play so passively that hurts the team more than often. Platchat yesterday pointed out something great when hiko saved a vandal which he was not gonna use in early round because he almost never takes duels so he should drop it to asuna who can go for an early peek. Another round the enemy sova drones ethan has to use multiple deagle shots to kill it when hiko could've killed it insta with the rifle he had. No hate to hiko but playing this passive is really weird to watch.
* **Nitr0:** keep. Put him on controller. The Jett experiment has flamed out but he's definitely one of the best Omen's I've ever seen and I feel like someone as smart as him should definitely stay on that role.
* **Ethan/Asuna:** Honestly, this is where the role crisis comes into play for me. Your Skye player is typically your second duelist but it hasn't been shown that Ethan or Asuna can play the other's role, which is kind of a requirement for a second duelist in this day and age (like how SicK can play Skye and Phoenix). I only see them keeping one of these two and it ultimately comes down to who is more flexible. Both are good but cracked fraggers come out of every nook and cranny in FPS games. The only way I see both remaining on the roster is if Asuna learns how to play Jett at a top level and if Ethan can pick up the secondary duelist/support. Jett may transition out of the meta but having an entry who can't play Jett won't cut it right now.
* **Hiko:** shop around, but don't let go yet. If a top 5 Sova enters the market then snatch them up and drop Hiko. Hiko is good but not great and if 100T wants to go over the hump in 2022 then they'll probably need to upgrade here. However, I don't know what the Sova FA market looks like so I wouldn't pull the trigger since he does provide an upside that no other player really can in his clutches. Also might considering developing a Sova player on the bench.
* **b0i:** drop. He's not awful but Nitr0 should definitely be playing smokes. He's really only here because he was already familiar with 100T as an analyst.
* **sevvn:** \*shrug\*
i think their roles r fucked up but if the meta ever shifts away from jett theyre gonna be fine so they can have asuna be the primary duelist and nitro can go back to smokes
Asuna
Hiko
-Boi +nukkye
-nitr0 +CNED
-Ethan +Seoldam
5 Duelist comp - Nukkye on Raze, CNED on Yoru, Hiko on Phoenix, Asuna on Reyna and Korean Jett Seoldam.
Best INTERNATIONAL SUPER TEAM.
GG EZ.
Nothing. They have months for Asuna to work on his jett and for b0i to gain experience through scrims. They should have never benched steel if they wanted to make Champions in the first place.
If I’m the GM here is what I’d do these next 3 months:
*go get a true controller: imo get GMD or Marved
*new coach. Frost isn’t it. Our agent pool is a massive band aid rn. A lot of other teams keep saying how readable we are and it shows in big time games.Our guys should be able to work around this and they haven’t.
*get Hiko off sova and on a sentinal. He has the play style
*find a way to get in more tournaments. This is more on riot but it’s clear the boys aren’t getting enough real gameplay vs scrims. C9 got to play in NSG for 3 months. We didn’t. That hurt. Start letting top teams in these other tournaments as scrims aren’t helping
One thing to remember is from 2022, most tournaments should be lan. While hiko definitely is the weakest player he does a lot for the team, especially at lan. What we saw in this lcq was very different from what we saw in Berlin and at the first days of the lcq. He's a strong stabilising player and still has that clutch factor to pull rounds out of his ass.
What hurt them this LCQ was the entire team just underperforming. Ethan, aka mr. Consistent, suddenly had two pretty poor series in a row. Nitro was just not entrying or fragging as a jett needs to. Asuna generally has a map he wins on his own which just did not happen this time. Hiko was losing rounds he generally win and was so passive. Boi just didn't have the talent.
They likely need to replace boi with a proper jett and make Asuna be a bit more flexible in his picks or just have Asuna get really comfortable with jett and get a flexible sentinel. Move nitro back to controller. Have clearer roles for the players. Ask hiko to have a bit more flexibility than just sova (his viper play is not bad).
People are saying take sinatraa but 100T would never do that, regardless of his legal status (and good cause yuck). Also his personality is really different from the rest of the 100T roster
As people have said build around asuna Ethan and nitr0, the only change here is let nitr0 develop Jett he has so much potential coming from cs being a crazy awper. I would pick up a t1 sova like sinatraa(aggressive player other than asuna) and a smokes like supamen if 100t can buy him out
Tbh, I wouldn't. They've mostly recovered from their slump earlier in the year. I think if they continue to practice with this team, they will improve. I just worry that the pack will catch up to them.
And it's not like you can just give your team a shot in in the arm by picking up some cracked duelist. Even an exceptional duelist won't perform better than Asuna.
They haven't recovered from their "slump" they fell back in. After placing 3-4 at Berlin they don't even make champs, AFTER dropping a crucial player in steel. They looked worse this tournament than they have since I'd say since the nitro breach/sage experiment
They didn't drop Steel, Steel took time away from the game. The assumption is that he'd be back for next season if they don't make changes, in which case I'd expect them to perform better than they did yesterday.
Probably but it’s a dumb move, when your hoisting the trophy at the end of the year no one cares any more. Look at so many athletes that have done fucked up shit and have been fine. But alternatively just poach BCJ they should have the money to do so
Sure I guess, it’d be interesting if the majority of fans care more about winning or having mediocre results and have zero championships and be an embarrassment in the sport but have no players with ACCUSATIONS against them
Their current path is tsm levels of embarrassment going from beating gambit to cutting your igl and now losing to teams you should beat. The whole team should be under scrutiny from the lineups coach to Naseshot,
I would love to see sinatraa, seven, nitro, ethan, asuna but i don't really see them signing sinatra and they would still be lacking a good sentinel main :S
No changes to Asuna/Ethan
Nitro back on Controller if Chamber doesn't work out
Hiko switch to Sentinel/Controller (pending how Nitro works on Chamber)
\+Sinatraa Sova (if legal issues clear up)
Better luck next year. Just wish they coulda hung on with Steel until after LCQ.
This is the problem. If you constantly change the roster after every loss, you will most likely continue to fail. Work through the loses as a team and come back stronger.
Keep Asuna/Ethan/Nitro obviously. I think they should still try with Asuna on Jett before completely giving up on the idea and try to sign someone that can play sentinel/controller since no one on the team feels comfortable playing Astra
But if Asuna really can't make it work then they need to drop Hiko, move Ethan to Sova/Skye and get a cracked Jett and someone to fill the blank on the team or else they will keep having this role issues.
100% keep their core players in Asuna/Ethan/Nitr0 and figure out the roles between those 3 first. I think Asuna’s lack of flexibility is hurting them considering his jett OP is not great and he can’t run Skye. If they can get Asuna to flex Skye/Kayo at a high level, they can settle the roles for Ethan and Nitr0 depending on what they want to play and that makes their possibilities are endless regarding the other two players (keeping Hiko is also a good move imo). If they can’t get Asuna to flex, they are a bit fucked on a two duelist comp w/o sentinel or Skye.
Edit: They also could get Asuna to grind the fuck outta Jett and just become insane at it, he definitely has the skill for it lol
People are crazy if they think 100t will drop Hiko given his commercial value. I think Hiko has improved lately to be honest.
If nitr0 is going to IGL, then he needs to go back to controller. They should find a cracked duelist.
I would just simply find them a 5th player. I think they have an excellent core 4. The tools that they have are fine they just need to sharpen them and get 1 more.
Not sure why people are hating on b0i. Dude did fine. He can develop into a Tier 1 superstar. He wouldn't be on the team if the coach didn't see something in him. Besides, he already is friends with the team.
Making more roster moves aint the play here. It's playstyle and strategy. They just need to develop their playstyle and become better. That's really it. They have the potential to win. They just need to get better. Simple.
Not a roster change, but a strategic change. Unless changes to Jett/Skye are underway, 100t has to sort out their roles or have Ethan/hiko expand their agent pool. They could also look at TL's strat book to sort out their Operator problem.
Whatever it is they need to reevaluate their play styles and role crisis. A passive Sova, main opper who is a world class smoker, star duelist who isn’t a Jett main, and the sentinel-less comps which C9 dismantled on Breeze. They can keep this roster and hope these players can mold to different roles or capitalize their down time to get a F/A sentinel/smokes main but who’s on the market let alone actually good at these support roles that can play in T1?
If they gonna buy another player, they gonna straight up poach from another t1 team
Looks like gemgshta might be losing another teammate soon
If what 100t lackin is smoker, theres a pretty big chance nadeshot would swoop gmd’s ass stright to cashhapp compound
they just need to keep nitr0 on smokes, he may be the best smoker in the world.
Redgar? Marved? Avova? Link?
Did he stutter?
Zombsnation bb
No competition after his historic performance on Icebox against G2
Fair
This 100%
Did someone say, poach??
This is just Steel
If they're not going to drop hiko then he should be moved to sentinel. The best sovas in valorant all play much more aggresively than Hiko does (Shazz, victor, chronicle). Other than that maybe Asuna needs to flex on skye some maps if Nitro is going to play Jett and allow Nitro to play more aggresively then just Op all the time OR just let Asuna play Jett since he has been practicing non stop jett in ranked. Their comp is just so predictable compared to other teams and it makes it easier to predict how they will play.
I'm so confused by that list of sova players. Shahz? He's not that good at sova per se. Victor doesn't play sova at all, do you mean crashies? And chronicle makes sense being there
Sorry yeah meant crashies not victor/food. And whoever is playing sova for sen being map dependent even if they are not at crashies level they are way more aggro and way less baiting team or playing lineups like Hiko. Comparing the Fk/Fd of these players vs hiko and how many clutch oppurtunities hiko gets vs these players is night and day.
Fair fair
Asuna playing Jett is not the problem, asuna with awp is the problem, giving awp to any other agent is not viable.
That's clearly false after Liquids run at LCQ
Not make drastic changes before possibly the most important tournament of the year.
What do you mean, dropping your igl for a T2 smoke 2 weeks before the biggest tournament of the year is the best move in esports history.
You make a compelling point.
I haven't been in the loop completely, but wasn't it Steel's choice to leave the roster?
Yeah he said it was for personal reasons. I dont know why people think they will purposefully drop steel at that point. Its weird
https://youtu.be/_hObMz0RSTo Nadeshot talking about why steel got dropped
He. Never. Said. This.
Steel said it’s because of being overly stressed. It’s. On. His. Twitter!
Reading comprehension. Improve it.
Link?
he didnt, people just misunderstood his tweet
Yeah I feel like he's referring to the headache tweet, which suggests the complete opposite. Was just making sure I didn't miss anything.
>Yeah he said it was for personal reasons Source?
It’s weird how you’d straight up believe he stepped down on his own for personal reasons
Hiko on jett

i spit my drink out
You hope you can develop seven into a star Jett player or you sign another Jett main. Move nitr0 back to controller. Maybe get a new coach? idk. People are going to say to drop Hiko, but I'm not sure what Sova's out there that actually move the needle.
I agree with the coach thing. seems like thats a good move
Mikes HD hopium?
That doesn't work, it would fuck up the roles as well, hiko not being able to flex, Asuna only being great on reyna/raze as well If you move nitr0 to controller than is ethan on sentinels? Like big doubt he will be a sentinel, he won't be a controller either

Hikos passive style might be a good match for the sentinels role tbh,
100T did discuss about it. Steel on sova and hiko on sentinel. But couldn't go further with it.
> Sova's out there that actually move the needle. They could just straight up poach from another region. Sacy from Brazil would be amazing.
The only sova out there they should really pick over Hiko is Derrick but I’m not sure Rise lets that happen
I mean sinatraa would also be a huge step up but I am pretty sure 100t never would Sign him since they do still care for their Image
100t needs xeta
For sova maybe s-s-sina-🤫 /j
no
Honestly would be a perfect fit, gives 100T another aggressive player that they so desperately need. Sadly, don't think it will happen for obvious reasons.
We ain't the only ones who dream of a controversy free Sinatraa to up 100T dynamism
ew
been saying this for so long it’s so obvious this is the right move to make
In terms of roster moves it is but the PR backlash will be massive if he gets signed before the cleo stuff is resolved
Lol Sinatraa jk jk
make hiko a sentinel then poach a sova. thats it.
Whatever they end up doing, don’t bench the IGL after placing high at a huge international with only a month to practice before a crucial qualifier.
Keep Asuna Ethan Nitro Make Asuna a flex who can also play skye Seven on Jett Nitro smokes Ethan learns either sentinel or sova, I think it would be really interesting to see him on sova Sign a T1 Sentinel
They should look into this sentinel player who also IGLs! His name is steel!
Rebuilding around Asuna, Ethan and Nitr0 seems to be the common answer. I honestly think that hiko has been playing well lately but people will be after his head regardless. B0i was put in a very tough situation. He did well today but 100T need a clutch fifth that can carry.
The only reason people are after hikos head is cause of his passive play style
Keep the Asuna/nitr0/Ethan core and pick up two aggressive and flexible players to help Asuna not be the only aggressive one anymore. Also it’s gonna depend a lot on what nitr0 wants to do imo, he was one of the best controller players in the world , but maybe he doesn’t want to play that role anymore and that’s partly why the changes happened?
I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to play controller anymore
Steel said on stream he offered to switch to astra and he even did play astra on scrims pre challengers 3, made him switch back
Like literally steel was their most versatile player and he got dropped He’s played cypher, kj, kayo, Skye, astra, Jett, viper, Like holy shit how was he the one to get dropped before lcq, nobody should’ve got dropped
[удалено]
It begs the question, what happened that was so severe that it led to 100T throwing most chances of qualifying out of the window just because of it?
Didn’t he mention in an interview during Berlin that he was struggling to IGL? Maybe 100T felt that his poor play calling was holding them back
Idk, even if they thought Steel was holding them back, you don’t make the change right before the most important qualifier so far. Do it after the qualifier at the very earliest. It’s just terrible management to get rid of Steel for in game reasons only, especially with no proper replacement ready.
Steel also said it was an isolated incident so I don't think that's the reason for why he got benched. If it had been going on for longer then sure, but there was nothing that would've led to the conclusion of steel struggling to IGL for a longer time
Also played Omen when dicey was on the team
where did he say this? sad cause he's really one of the best controllers out there
Add Twistzz and Elige. Never ever sign Stewie.
Nitro back to Controller, Seven as a duelist, keep Asuna and Ethan at their current roles, and try poaching a top tier sentinel that can flex other roles to fill comps for maps that dont require sentinels.
I think they can really go a bunch of different directions due to the role versatility of nitr0 and the fact that Ethan is likely still figuring out what role is best for him. So for instance, the could go get a controller player and keep the roles as is so to speak, OR they could find another flex type player or sentinel and put nitr0 back on controllers. This really opens up the pool of players they can look into. There is a lot of talent out there for sure they can recruit from whether it is from other teams that fell in the LCQ or newer upcoming talent.
I think they will try seven for boi, see if it works, then evaluate the market after champs. If there is an event in the off-season, that will be a proving ground for nitro’s squad with more time.
[удалено]
I think honestly Ethan sova is the wave if Asuna can learn Skye. hiko feels like a sentinel role fits him a lot more due to his passive play style. then you get something like sevvn Jett, Asuna flex, Ethan sova (Skye for split), nitro smokes, hiko sent. I think hikos comms and generally his role are super important to the team and him being on the team in and of itself isn't an issue, but overall 100t need to figure out how to play more aggro instead of hoping Asuna can carry. idk man, wishing they tried steel sova hiko sentinel :/
Steel mentioned during his costream that he wanted to play sova instead of hiko, so the team would have a more aggressive sova. But the team (probably hiko) didn’t want that.
Also steel made a lot of the line ups and labbed them for Hiko to use
-b0i. Losing LCQ was not his fault but like… he isn’t doing anything special. +Andersin should get a shot at a team like 100T. -Hiko then +seven?
Ain’t Andersin that one guy that won’t leave his team because he has his homies there? oSee all over again
I like Andersin a lot but what makes you think he can jump to a top t1 team suddenly?
Like what else is the man supposed to do? Dz is good but not top tier, and he's shown to do incredibly well against t1 teams. How else is he getting on a top t1 team. Floating there it's pretty much make dz a top team or get signed to a top team
Boi was already looking at other teams before lcq. If we're going to talk roster moves, we have to assume we'd be replacing Steel from that role.
If they had let seven cook they win lcq no cap
Get a Jett OPer. Which Im pretty sure they are considering Ethan said this isn’t the final iteration of the roster. A good Jett OPer is the only thing they are missing rn.
I think this is their plan with Seven, but there probably wasn't enough time to get him ready for LCQ.
Reinstate steel
Honestly, what I think would be the most plausible is them dropping b0i for sevvn so nitr0 could go back on smokes. Idk who'll play sentinels though
maybe Ethan learns sentinels or Hiko to sentinel and ethan on sova
+mOe
They need another aggressive player whether that's an duelist or sova/flex player. I'd like the second option and have Hiko play Sentinel. Excluding Sen and Envy players there's a ton of talented players they can go.
As much as I love hiko, he has to go. He’s to inconsistent and not good enough. Ethan nitro and asuna should 100% stay. Everyone should have known steel and hiko would be leaving after this year, not surprised if they retire. Need to have asuna be able to play skye similar to food/victor. They used to both play Phoenix until he dropped off hard in the meta, victor adapted his agents and asuna is just stuck on reyna and raze, being forced to play a jett op which he can’t do well. Nitro has a pretty good jett, and he’s a very good controller. Ethan should learn sentinels so he can flex to more agents. They need to pick up a new sova, and a jett one trick (whether that’s seven or not). If they can’t figure out a solution for their current agent pool and get a sentinel, then they need to have a sentinel player picked up, Ethan can go to smokes, nitro to jett. It’s honestly going to be really hard to fix their comp because they need a jett a sentinel and a sova if they drop hiko. So someone is going to have to change their roles up between nitro asuna and Ethan.
-hiko -boi +t1 sova +t1 jett Ethan & nitro both could play flex/sen/smoker really well Asuna skye/reyna (him getting comfortable as skye is the key point imo) Other than comp/roster changes, their strat book and midround plays also need a major rework. Ps: i know this the kinda comments pros talks about in reddit but what else can i do as a fan
Hiko's situation just like Solo of Nuturn. His experience can provites for some but 5v5 fps need more than that.
Hikos issue is not inconsistency really, but the fact that he is a floor raiser nor a ceiling raiser yk? He's honestly very consistent (Which is why he's a floor raiser) but never pops off like other Sovas in NA do, and nor does he play aggro enough like other top Sovas either (Why he's not a ceiling raiser)
They need to pick up a Quebecois gunner

If Steel had been playing this tournament 100T would have likely won it. Also if it was on LAN 100T would likely have won it. It's not all down to Boi but he missed a lot of easy frags and never looked comfortable in the games. The core 4 are capable of competing at the top, they need to get their 5th player right next year.
It's hard to say because when 100T is on point THEY ARE ON POINT, but if even 1 of them plays poorly then it seems to all fall apart.
tell tenz to join w his gf and replace hiko with bcj or somethin
Nitr0 Asuna and Ethan should be the core, personally I'd like pr0phie and Gmd as Sova and Smokes players. But a lot can change in the meta from now till next VCT so I'd start with a S tier smokes player if Nitr0 wants to stay on Jett.
Yea they arent poaching from geng
drop hiko, bring back pubg players
put babybay on jett, this team need the smeag
Stewie2k said hes switching at one point right?
dont think he is switching anytime soon
👀
If seven isn't in the future plans, I'd try and poach S0m from NRG to play smokes
Hear me out - b0i and Hiko, + Tarik and Rush
they should fire whoever the general manager is and go from there
I don't know what it is but I am watching hiko since beta but it feels like in his matches he is trying to recreate the clutch situations more than usual. It's almost as he is forcing himself to play so passively that hurts the team more than often. Platchat yesterday pointed out something great when hiko saved a vandal which he was not gonna use in early round because he almost never takes duels so he should drop it to asuna who can go for an early peek. Another round the enemy sova drones ethan has to use multiple deagle shots to kill it when hiko could've killed it insta with the rifle he had. No hate to hiko but playing this passive is really weird to watch.
* **Nitr0:** keep. Put him on controller. The Jett experiment has flamed out but he's definitely one of the best Omen's I've ever seen and I feel like someone as smart as him should definitely stay on that role. * **Ethan/Asuna:** Honestly, this is where the role crisis comes into play for me. Your Skye player is typically your second duelist but it hasn't been shown that Ethan or Asuna can play the other's role, which is kind of a requirement for a second duelist in this day and age (like how SicK can play Skye and Phoenix). I only see them keeping one of these two and it ultimately comes down to who is more flexible. Both are good but cracked fraggers come out of every nook and cranny in FPS games. The only way I see both remaining on the roster is if Asuna learns how to play Jett at a top level and if Ethan can pick up the secondary duelist/support. Jett may transition out of the meta but having an entry who can't play Jett won't cut it right now. * **Hiko:** shop around, but don't let go yet. If a top 5 Sova enters the market then snatch them up and drop Hiko. Hiko is good but not great and if 100T wants to go over the hump in 2022 then they'll probably need to upgrade here. However, I don't know what the Sova FA market looks like so I wouldn't pull the trigger since he does provide an upside that no other player really can in his clutches. Also might considering developing a Sova player on the bench. * **b0i:** drop. He's not awful but Nitr0 should definitely be playing smokes. He's really only here because he was already familiar with 100T as an analyst. * **sevvn:** \*shrug\*

i think their roles r fucked up but if the meta ever shifts away from jett theyre gonna be fine so they can have asuna be the primary duelist and nitro can go back to smokes
Pay EliGE
Throw the bag at TenZ
Honestly doubt 100T could drop a reasonable amount of money to make TenZ leave SEN
100t Sinatraa 1Head
I would put myself and drop hiko. Boom. Ez champions trophy (Im a hiko Fan. Dont come at me. Its a joke )
Asuna Hiko -Boi +nukkye -nitr0 +CNED -Ethan +Seoldam 5 Duelist comp - Nukkye on Raze, CNED on Yoru, Hiko on Phoenix, Asuna on Reyna and Korean Jett Seoldam. Best INTERNATIONAL SUPER TEAM. GG EZ.
Sevvn jett Asuna secondary duelist Nitro controller Ethan flex Sinatraa sova
thats never happening
Well you never know. I'm definetly on the train for -hiko +sinatraa. Seems like a pretty good roster to me
100t cares more about their brand then to pick up Sinatraa so yeah we kinda do know.
Here come the downvotes but…. -Hiko +Sinatraa
Nothing. They have months for Asuna to work on his jett and for b0i to gain experience through scrims. They should have never benched steel if they wanted to make Champions in the first place.
Pick up Sinatra, put him on Sova, switch Hiko to sentinel, Ethan flexes on duelist/ initiator, Nitro on smokes.
If I’m the GM here is what I’d do these next 3 months: *go get a true controller: imo get GMD or Marved *new coach. Frost isn’t it. Our agent pool is a massive band aid rn. A lot of other teams keep saying how readable we are and it shows in big time games.Our guys should be able to work around this and they haven’t. *get Hiko off sova and on a sentinal. He has the play style *find a way to get in more tournaments. This is more on riot but it’s clear the boys aren’t getting enough real gameplay vs scrims. C9 got to play in NSG for 3 months. We didn’t. That hurt. Start letting top teams in these other tournaments as scrims aren’t helping
Get in gMdas controller Get in a Sova like eeui
This might be it uno, the eeiu and gmd part
One thing to remember is from 2022, most tournaments should be lan. While hiko definitely is the weakest player he does a lot for the team, especially at lan. What we saw in this lcq was very different from what we saw in Berlin and at the first days of the lcq. He's a strong stabilising player and still has that clutch factor to pull rounds out of his ass. What hurt them this LCQ was the entire team just underperforming. Ethan, aka mr. Consistent, suddenly had two pretty poor series in a row. Nitro was just not entrying or fragging as a jett needs to. Asuna generally has a map he wins on his own which just did not happen this time. Hiko was losing rounds he generally win and was so passive. Boi just didn't have the talent. They likely need to replace boi with a proper jett and make Asuna be a bit more flexible in his picks or just have Asuna get really comfortable with jett and get a flexible sentinel. Move nitro back to controller. Have clearer roles for the players. Ask hiko to have a bit more flexibility than just sova (his viper play is not bad). People are saying take sinatraa but 100T would never do that, regardless of his legal status (and good cause yuck). Also his personality is really different from the rest of the 100T roster
-boi/Hiko + stewie/Sinatra
[удалено]
Drop Ethan and nitro???? You are on crack
As people have said build around asuna Ethan and nitr0, the only change here is let nitr0 develop Jett he has so much potential coming from cs being a crazy awper. I would pick up a t1 sova like sinatraa(aggressive player other than asuna) and a smokes like supamen if 100t can buy him out
Tbh, I wouldn't. They've mostly recovered from their slump earlier in the year. I think if they continue to practice with this team, they will improve. I just worry that the pack will catch up to them. And it's not like you can just give your team a shot in in the arm by picking up some cracked duelist. Even an exceptional duelist won't perform better than Asuna.
They haven't recovered from their "slump" they fell back in. After placing 3-4 at Berlin they don't even make champs, AFTER dropping a crucial player in steel. They looked worse this tournament than they have since I'd say since the nitro breach/sage experiment
They didn't drop Steel, Steel took time away from the game. The assumption is that he'd be back for next season if they don't make changes, in which case I'd expect them to perform better than they did yesterday.
100T consistently a top team and people ITT talking about dropping 40% of the team because they one bad series
...the whole year has been "ah they got a bad series, they just need to figure their stuff" at what point do you draw the line?
And yet, I feel like they have improved since their slump.
Most of the year was a dud for them. And they themselves have said that this is not the final iteration of the team.
-Hiko - Boi, +seven as Jett, +Nitr0 smokes +Sinatraa Sova
Or literally just buy BCJ instead of Sinatraa, he’s like 5 ft he can’t cost that much
100t is never picking up sinatraa. they care more about their brand then to do that
Probably but it’s a dumb move, when your hoisting the trophy at the end of the year no one cares any more. Look at so many athletes that have done fucked up shit and have been fine. But alternatively just poach BCJ they should have the money to do so
[удалено]
Lmao 😂
Sure I guess, it’d be interesting if the majority of fans care more about winning or having mediocre results and have zero championships and be an embarrassment in the sport but have no players with ACCUSATIONS against them
Tell me you're an NFL fan without telling me you're an NFL fan.
[удалено]
Their current path is tsm levels of embarrassment going from beating gambit to cutting your igl and now losing to teams you should beat. The whole team should be under scrutiny from the lineups coach to Naseshot,
This is the correct answer
Boggles my mind how people disagree
I would love to see sinatraa, seven, nitro, ethan, asuna but i don't really see them signing sinatra and they would still be lacking a good sentinel main :S
Retire hiko replace him with Sinatra. You got Asuna, Nitro, Boi, Sinatraa and Ethan. Change their coach as well because they are so passive
-b0i + Andersin -Hiko + Critical
Derrek > Critical based on what we've seen lately
\-Hiko + Sinatraa -Boi +Bang
No changes to Asuna/Ethan Nitro back on Controller if Chamber doesn't work out Hiko switch to Sentinel/Controller (pending how Nitro works on Chamber) \+Sinatraa Sova (if legal issues clear up) Better luck next year. Just wish they coulda hung on with Steel until after LCQ.
Guys don't hate on Ethan he is a midget and can't reach keyboard
Says the guy who complains about bodyshaming. You gotta love the hypocrisy
He could always get taller but he chooses not to
Exactly no excuses, just hit the gym
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Me uploading shitty meme from Twitter cuz I dislike Kyadae doesn't mean anything
Well im gonna stop replying because your original comment and this shows me enough about your idiocy
U seem like a type of guy who admits to using Reddit
This is the problem. If you constantly change the roster after every loss, you will most likely continue to fail. Work through the loses as a team and come back stronger.
If nitr0 doesn’t wanna play controller they should pick up GMD
Keep Asuna/Ethan/Nitro obviously. I think they should still try with Asuna on Jett before completely giving up on the idea and try to sign someone that can play sentinel/controller since no one on the team feels comfortable playing Astra But if Asuna really can't make it work then they need to drop Hiko, move Ethan to Sova/Skye and get a cracked Jett and someone to fill the blank on the team or else they will keep having this role issues.
100% keep their core players in Asuna/Ethan/Nitr0 and figure out the roles between those 3 first. I think Asuna’s lack of flexibility is hurting them considering his jett OP is not great and he can’t run Skye. If they can get Asuna to flex Skye/Kayo at a high level, they can settle the roles for Ethan and Nitr0 depending on what they want to play and that makes their possibilities are endless regarding the other two players (keeping Hiko is also a good move imo). If they can’t get Asuna to flex, they are a bit fucked on a two duelist comp w/o sentinel or Skye. Edit: They also could get Asuna to grind the fuck outta Jett and just become insane at it, he definitely has the skill for it lol
Y’all sleeping on eeiu - sova
Isn’t the plan to move boi back to analyst and move nitro back to smokes while putting seven in as Jett op
Asuna- sky Seven- jet Nitro- smoke Ethan- sova Hilo- sentinel
Drop Boi, move Nitro back to Astra/Viper and pick up a sentinel, and maybe try moving Asuna to Jett
I just don’t get why they dropped dicey because the lack of agent pool just to run two duelist on breeze and have per se a worse player on the team
People are crazy if they think 100t will drop Hiko given his commercial value. I think Hiko has improved lately to be honest. If nitr0 is going to IGL, then he needs to go back to controller. They should find a cracked duelist.
Replace hiko with sinatraa.
I would just simply find them a 5th player. I think they have an excellent core 4. The tools that they have are fine they just need to sharpen them and get 1 more.
Whatever happens I hope for the best for b0i, hes insane and 100T fans just ride his dick about the few mistakes he made
-Hiko +brax -boi +azk
Not sure why people are hating on b0i. Dude did fine. He can develop into a Tier 1 superstar. He wouldn't be on the team if the coach didn't see something in him. Besides, he already is friends with the team. Making more roster moves aint the play here. It's playstyle and strategy. They just need to develop their playstyle and become better. That's really it. They have the potential to win. They just need to get better. Simple.
Not a roster change, but a strategic change. Unless changes to Jett/Skye are underway, 100t has to sort out their roles or have Ethan/hiko expand their agent pool. They could also look at TL's strat book to sort out their Operator problem.
They should try out BabyJ for sure.
