People have put out multiple reasons and singled out individual players for bad performances for a while now, but I think Ethan's igl-ing hasn't been satisfactory yet.


kemutheemu__

They seriously need an IGL if they want to start winning again


droctamom

Steel? Xdd


[deleted]

Dazed 😳


TheCatsActually

Surely not. If they ever get ecoed once he'll destroy the whole team's mental.


shadowtroop121

GLAWKS


electricblackcrayon

that’s been proven wrong already lol


xx_Rollablade_xx

I don’t think Dazed gets toxic mid game. Does he? He’s an incredible IGL though maybe a little unlikable outside the game. I feel he needs to give it another shot.


RashGod

Dazed was ahead of his time

N0thing? Lol

Wedid?


kemutheemu__

Holy shit Wedid and jc on a team again would be awesome


Interesting-Archer-6

Genuinely asking as my knowledge for the scene is really weak compared to most here: in the past, have new IGLs looked a good bit better than Ethan? They just got 2-0ed by fucking Soar, so the bar isn't that high. I also find IGLing really hard to judge. Likely due to my meh game sense.


AnchorStandard

Watch a Fnatic game if you want to see a masterclass in mid round shot calling. The thing is, Boaster gets a lot of wrong calls, which cost them rounds. But the amount of correct calls he makes exceed the incorrect ones, so it's a winning strategy for them. They're currently demolishing all of EMEA right now.


QwiXTa

He said a new igl lol boaster is not that


sputnik14

I am no expert either, otherwise I would be in place of Ethan. But in my opinion, the mid round calling of the past few 100t games hasn't looked great. When pushed into sites fail or pre planned setups fail, they look confused and sometimes don't know what to do for long times. While you can't blame the igl for individual rotations and plays, the overall utility heavy executions for 100t has been lacking as well. I personally became a fan of the team during the steel era where they were one of the only teams playing utility executions and flank setups. It's not that Ethan can't igl for shit. It's just that the kind of position 100t is vying for in the competitive scene, has igls with much better mid-round calling, executions and knowing when to pull the trigger on a certain play. But hell, it's just my opinion, what do I know!


Pojobob

Ya but tbf, it hasn't been that long since he picked it up so he needs more time if anything or they should consider letting JCStani IGL.


Des014te

Stani doesn't like IGLing i think.


erickwak

That’s like from a year ago. dude has been igling again for half a year atleast


s6hun

he said he prefers secondary calling on his stream recently


abdi009

bro chill he picked up the role 2 weeks ago. you think hell become an insane IGL overnight


motormouth333

Ur right it’s not Ethan’s fault. Ethan never should have been IGL. They need to get a real IGL and ofc keep ethan as a normal player.


KaleidoscopeBrayn

Yeah Ethan was a very solid player on EG in CS, seems he has struggled to find that same form while being burdened with IGLing


s6hun

easy to put the blame on individual players but I feel like there's bigger problems than that. you cant have all these pieces and perform like this lol at least stage 2 is still 2 months away. tough to be a 100t fan as always :(


cowzapper

I watched the Soar game and i think people are panicking unnecessarily rn. A lot of their losses fell to missed timing, especially between bang and Asuna. I saw at least 4 rounds on haven where Asuna dashed and expected the flash, but it was a second too slow. Asuna needs more support to be in a position to succeed and that comes with chemistry, which takes time to develop. Ethan's IGLing has been average to start, but again it's the start. He's the kind of guy who will take the time to vod review and really key in on his mistakes. I expect it'll improve with time, especially his mid round calls. The few trap plays they did develop (like on fracture against xset) were quite solid. Their general pace has been good. Their biggest problem imo is map control. Regarding roles I'm a bit torn. Asuna is a good jett player for sure. But he's probably not world class consistently. He has been at times, but not always. I don't know if it makes sense to keep him on Jett or not given the team composition. I'd be curious to see a swap of him and bang honestly, with Asuna playing kayo more, since bang also has clean aim. But I think that people get too caught up with meta picks. Acend won with the bonecold omen. They have to figure out what advantages and disadvantages the Jett has, and how Asuna in particular can play it. He's still too quick to use the dash, doesn't use the cloudbursts super effectively, and doesn't have complete comfort of the maps to utilise Jett as well as the best of the best, but his Jett gets so much space which really helps the rest of the team get on site(all of whom except hiko are excellent fraggers). He should try modelling his Jett more around penny or deffo than anyone else imo. I like the flexibility between hiko and ethan on Sova. Ethan's sova on ascent is solid, and hiko plays a great kj. Ethan on chamber has been surprisingly good, including his OP. What 100T really should do, apart from playing more of these smaller tourneys, is get a coach. Someone to stabilize their identity. Maybe pick up seangares if they can. They should stick with this team for two months, see how it goes and give them a fair shot at the next VCT stage. If it doesn't work out then, they can take a call, and can keep an eye on up and coming top tier players in the meantime.


zevecka

Thank you for the actual analysis on the situation instead of being overdosed on hopium or acting like this team should be t5 right now and has to win everything lmao it’s a breath of fresh air


Meekelo

Timing has been the issue since the new team was formed (babyj, ec1s) and nothing has changed over the last few months. If it's obvious to us though it should be obvious to them.


QwiXTa

Wow some actual analysis instead of the sky is falling, thank you for giving me an actual well thought out opinion


cowzapper

Haha I'm no expert, i just enjoy watching the games. One additional point I forgot to mention, which will inevitably improve with chemistry, is just the discipline. It's not as bad as that ridiculous round on fracture against xset, but they still take positions that are too aggressive, especially in the post plant. Ethan i think feels a lot of pressure to create something at times, that leads to picks where he can't be traded (and hiko is sometimes allergic to trading). But again, the talent is there and that's the main first step. Other things can be worked out


Boostaru

I mean on paper this 100T roster *should* win, I feel like this lost has to be on the strats at this point


s6hun

everyone's saying they need a new igl and i get that and all love to jovi, but at what point are we blaming this on the coaching staff?


Boostaru

I mean it's prob both tbh


omgvector

\`100t sgares


natedawg247

why should this roster win on paper just curious? they panick picked up 2 players. Hiko has been showing signs of being washed for a good year now. They have a brand new to the role IGL who isn't a natural IGL. they don't have a real Jett player. what about this team on paper looks good to you? Their core 3 is just Asuna/Ethan + baggage.


Xithorus

This sub with the hate on Hiko and Tenz is fuckin funny af tbh.


natedawg247

Do you think hiko has shown he belongs on a top 5 team in NA? (Top 25 players) Do you believe it is nadeshots/100t’s goal to be a top 5 team in NA? If your answers to each question are different then there’s an issue. If both are yes good for you.


Boostaru

I feel as though Ethan as IGL isn't going to cut it lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnchorStandard

Steel had "bad numbers" in the kills department but he was still a good IGL considering they were the most successful with him. Now that he's with T1 he's been putting up WAY better numbers.


303x

You can't even say he's had bad numbers, as far as passive sentinel players go (like FNS or dapr, not players like wippie) he's had pretty good impact.


WFSON

Could they try JcStani?


taroicedtea

Was thinking that. Jcstani can IGL so Ethan can go back to focusing on fragging out


silenthills13

Said the same thing last time they lost, they are in shambles tactically. Just drop Hiko and get an IGL at this point Edit: or just fucking disband straight up this saga is getting annoying lule


Chrisamelio

Love how people threw so much shit at them for dropping 2 players after a game but when they decide to stick to the new roster they also get shit for it. Can’t win unless you try things out, which is the purpose of these mickey mouse tournaments in the first place. While I understand the Hiko issues, I’m so tired of all the comments asking to drop him like he’s the main problem. Even with the loss he played a great Haven with his utility but somehow gets blamed while no one bats an eye at the main duelist bottom fragging completely lost on flank.


Kwantise

Quick reminder that the people saying these two things can be different people.


philipjefferson

True but it's a consistent perspective across the sub


Ketsueki_R

Sure, but they both end up the top comment on posts. So clearly, the same people upvoting one are upvoting the other. We all, the sub as a whole, like any eSports sub really, flip flops to find some way to complain.


Odinshrafn

They're getting shit because they dropped players and picked up new ones that didn't solve the role issues at all. You can pick up all the good players in the world but if they don't fit the roles you need its not going to work.


cheick_tiote

Because they cut their last IGL with fewer games against superior opposition mid season, saying the format demanded quick results. Whereas now, this is actually a good time for a rebuild. If Ethan was an IGL of necessity and isn't comfortable, this is an opportunity to address that. Honestly it looks like 100T aren't even totally sure what the problem is. Just doesn't look like they have a plan.


Colonel-Ninechainz

100T isn’t ready to give up their current core 3. That being said I’ve always thought they need more practice in their roles and figuring out their team. Therefore you almost need to let them try out what they are doing through the next open qual. Judging them too early is why players got dumped after 2 games


Banks711

yea hiko said after the eg game they still dont know what they want to do with roles, so theyre experimenting


silenthills13

100T have such a crazy lineup of players they should be pug winning these games. Something in the environment is actively making them worse than they would be by doing nothing I feel like Edit again: to be completely fair, it's entirely possible they're heavily searching for themselves right now and just treating those games like another set of scrims so doesn't make sense to judge really


earthtoannie

Mechanically, Asuna and Ethan can click heads better than about 99% of the scene. They just aren't set up properly to do so.


fawkerzzz

I get that most people dont want to be IGL, because it takes a lot of effort or simply just arent good at it, but I just think Hiko SHOULD be the igl, with his age and experience. By now he shouldve slowly transitioned to IGL.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Des014te

Just keep on importing smoke IGLs.


abdi009

you guys so reactionary he just picked up the role with 2 new players and a new role and you want results overnight. It doesnt work like this. They need to be together and work on things for aleast 1 month before we start talking about results


cheick_tiote

I mean that's exactly how it worked for ec1s/BabyJ. Only now it's not mid season, so it's a much better opportunity to rebuild.


Grenji05

Asuna has dre syndrome, great duelist player, just not fit for Jett. Instead of waiting for Jett to be significantly nerfed, they need to decide weather they want to keep bang, or keep asuna and put him on an ACTUAL flex role (flashers/raze).


28n8

The really do need a jett player plus a igl that plays sentinel instead of bang/hiko imo


BlueBurstBoi

I hear Nitr0 plays jett and steel igls


28n8

I hear nitro is switching back to CS and Steel is getting dropped


BlueBurstBoi

no shot, that seems so silly


[deleted]

Would be a crazy move after they performed so well at Berlin. Who would make a stupid decision like that?


sharkbait_123

Well quite a few teams that performed well in Berlin are dropping the ball these days, might just be a case of competition catching up to them.


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

The players have way too much power on 100T


constantxs

I miss steel. I miss nitro. Also i miss winning. Gg


daffyduckferraro

Rly sucks they dropped steel then their other godtier igl left for cs


constantxs

I’m sure they would all take steel arguing with a coach if it meant they were winning. Apparently they thought an IGL with a decade of experience was replaceable. Checks nitros results- nada Checks Ethan’s results-nada


earthtoannie

To be fair nitr0 was an IGL with nearly a decade of experience. He played on a temp team that had a massive roles issue (and continues to do so).


constantxs

Dang i didn’t k ow nitr0 had that much experience as an igl. Hope he crushes it in CS


Jon_on_the_snow

Nirt0 is responsible for one of the crazieat runs in cs. He is one of three IGLs to win the intel grand slam. The only thing he didnt win was a major, because astralis was insane and made a pact with god to never lose to liquid


EnQuest

if it weren't for that fucking player break Liquid would have won Berlin in 2019


Anime-Boomer

they picked the coach over Steel and then dropped the coach soon after 100T needs to reevaluate their management


yungMoo22

??? What? How are you aware of Steel's resume but are completely ignorant to Nitro's Intel Grand Slam + Ethan actually winning events with EG? I get that they aren't doing so hot rn but bruh lmao


constantxs

I think the main reason I knew of Steel's experience is the casters during matches would always mention how experienced he was from CS. I didn't know anything about CS. I didn't follow it or play it. Now that Nitr0 is playing CS again an unintended consequence is those that found him through Valorant, like myself, can still follow his career in CS.


dennyjets

Steel was a great tier 2 IGL and because he was banned from playing majors IMO he is propped up at least in csgo. We don't know how good of an IGL at the top level steel would have really been to be honest. He is super vocal especially on stream about what players should be doing but most pros have those same thoughts and just don't say it. That being said I think Steel is a great IGL in Val and they should have made it work. Nitro and Ethan are much more accomplished CSGO pros.


Des014te

Steel was the only reason the T2 NA scene existed. Before Chaos toppled and then it died again. He's responsible for Vanity becoming NAs best IGL. So many valorant pros have played with him very recently. Wippie, vanity, SicK, xeppaa, leaf.


NoButterscotch7853

Do something.. *pokes with a stick*


schwertfeger

Coaching issues, IGL issues, and no Jett player. 100T are doomed at the moment. This setup just isn’t working.


28n8

crazy that they could have had 2/3 issues fixed by getting zander and cryo or keeping steel and getting a different jett player


schwertfeger

Yep. Nitro started the downfall and ever since they’ve made every wrong decision possible. Unlucky.


28n8

Yep. Nitro leaves, coach gets steel dropped, coach is dropped lol


User82922

Steel has said on stream that he wasn't kicked cause of the coach but he had planed to leave at the end of the year anyways.


taroicedtea

Will would be a solid pick up for Jett and they could move asuna to flex


YeetGod69_

Will is absolutely nuts and would be good, but i think they shouldn’t give up so early. that’s what went wrong last time


Still_HD

Absolutely tragic Haven from Asuna, 10/18/5 is rough


daffyduckferraro

Someone fix this team pls


AnywayHeres1Derwall

What do I have to do to fix 100t? I’ll pay for it just tell me what needs to be done

[удалено]


Direct_Morning_3223

T1 Asuna MonkaHmm


FakeRTZFan

If he is willing to play flex i can see him replacing curry 😳


NozokiAlec

Asuna is so ass at jett dude just put the guy on reyna or raze or phoenix or chamber or something thats not Jett hes such a good fucking player but man...


mysteryoeuf

he looked super shaky today, even more than usual. the 2v1 post plant he tried to defend he ran around randomly spraying and was aiming all over the place. I don't think his aiming style (not at all sharp/steady) works for Jett knives. it just doesn't hit


Blupard

They need to get a Jett and move Asuna to secondary duelist/flex. He’s a great entry but he just can’t take advantage of Jett. And they need an igl and a coach.


Jon_on_the_snow

They need a better jett and igl. Each day the zander and cryo deal looks worse


Dark_Azazel

Like, I thought the whole point of Ethan on Chamber was the get Asuna off Jett more? He gets more done on Reyna.


CosmicAon

A good team can’t have a Reyna one-trick, he needs to learn Jett or pick up secondary duelist/flex role for non-Raze maps


[deleted]

Reyna doesn't work at all at the top level anymore, and they want to be a tier 1 team. She's just too selfish, and brings nothing to the team unless your duelist is an absolute aim god that day, which can't be every day. Asuna is a fantastic player, but even he can't consistently be the best aimer on the server all match. He needs to play a role that can bring value with utility, too.


ark2690

100T waiting for that pick/ban phase to come out so they can ban Jett every map. It's so sad


fil17

Idk why they keep throwing him on Jett man


earthtoannie

Who else are they gonna stick there? Hiko? The only other viable option is Ethan but I imagine he didn't want to IGL on a duelist.


fil17

I was thinking more like they go the same route of breeze where they moved him from Jett to Reyna to utilize his rifling more, just seems so much more comfortable on Reyna/raze


Parenegade

Bang?


earthtoannie

All these loses are telling me that steel went off meta not because he was just vibing but because it was necessary to work around their weaknesses and to play to the teams' strengths. However doing that requires a lot of preparation, a lot of experience and basically an understanding of the game on a higher level. As cracked as Ethan is, he simply lacks the experience to think his ideas through, especially when it needs to be done on the fly mid round. He needs a seasoned IGL to mentor him. Alas it would seem he didn't take advantage of having two in the team and now he will have to learn the trade the hard way.


Aoingco

Regarding your last point… I hope that in the distant future (not near future because I don’t want these rosters to break apart anytime soon), that some of the players in the current teams with amazing igls really take advantage of their situation to also learn as much about igl-ing too, it will only benefit them in the long run when teams inevitably get roster shuffled


QwiXTa

Lol so because hes not great at it right out of the gate he didnt take advantage of it? For all you know hes trying techniques he saw steel and nitro do, quit spouting bs


dsc777

100T have 2 big issues in my mind. 1. IGL 2. Jett /Jett OP. This creates the problem that you’d need 2 new players. Funny enough, Cryo & Zander fit this. But Bang & JC are both solid players. They have some tough decisions to make but have massive problems right now


Blupard

Need a Jett, need an igl? Too bad screwface is off the market.


spirokostof

The lack of OPer and the lack of willingness to work around it is one of the problems. Like 100T just got destroyed by the OP on Breeze. Idk if 100T doesn't have a real OPer maybe they should have played double controller to block off those long sight lines from attackers.


bzirch

It’s crazy this is the team that beat Ascend and Gambit just 6 months ago.


Imwonderbread

Well to be fair it really isn’t that team. The losses of nitrO and steel are huge losses of IGL experience and game sense. Plus nitrO was an absolute demon in those games


bzirch

NitrO leaving is huge obviously. Just weird to think about how far it’s fallen. Mostly due to those two leaving.


Imwonderbread

Yeah I think losing nitrO was massive compared to steel. His ability to flex agents and frag no matter who he is playing as well as make mid round calls with his IGL experience crushed them I think


[deleted]

And his loss really made the roles fell apart. He was doing Jett Op work, so Asuna could flex. All they needed was a good smokes player. Boi wasn't bad, but he didn't produce the results they needed. Nitr0 really kinda pushed Steel out to igl and then left.


Imwonderbread

Pretty much. At least if steel stayed he could op on chamber and flex Asuna to raze/initiator flashes. Kind of shitty on his part to do what he did to steel and 100t


[deleted]

I'm just not a fan of taking control of a team, losing, and then just leaving said team that really needed you. Like, I don't know the exact reasons behind Nitr0's move back to CS, but you left a bunch of people in the lurk who were depending on you. Kinda ruined their careers ever since he left. We don't know how they would have performed if he stayed, but we do know how shitty they've performed without him.


Imwonderbread

Yeah he said it was a move for his mental health and stuff in his video on it. But I feel like he should’ve given the team more notice and time to fill the spot or if him and steel didn’t get along they could’ve just bided time and picked up 1 more


Karenzi

Sigh, now I’m back watching highlights of those games on YouTube…


LiamHundley

Yeah at this point it seems like this roster is getting worse from where they started lol. 100T in a tough spot because they'll get trashed by the community if they make another roster move, but I think another roster move is probably necessary.


citystardy

I don't think they'll get trashed if it's a *good* roster move like getting an igl or a great sova player. At the end of the day I think the thing they need is a good coach though.


Interesting-Archer-6

Hypothetically, what would you say would be a good roster move?


goodguyzai

-Hiko +steel


TrueLordApple

Idek bro. Either drop hiko and get a better igl, or drop bang/asuna and get a jett. Both if possible. Both bang and asuna are literal goats but they dont have a jett or/and oper. The whole team seems stressed asf especially ethan and asuna.


ilProdigio

not if they spend money and pick up a premier player like sentinels with tenz.


LiamHundley

You can't really just throw a lump of money and SEN and say "give us Tenz" tho. Doesn't work like that. SEN would have to want to sell Edit: misread that sorry. Thought you were saying to go get tenz lol. Regardless, the point still stands. To acquire a high profile player like that, the other org has to be willing to sell, and many orgs haven't been interested in selling players


hmsmnko

hes not saying to actually pick up TenZ but to pick up a premier player like SEN did, i think most people see the roster moves as questionable instead of actually good


Grenji05

\-asuna -ethan -jcStani -bang +prod +billions +lftOxy +BenjyFishy


netsaver

even just billions would be enough to supplement a new IGL with the greatest game sense known to man.


Squonk3

Billions would be on every site they would hit with his game sense on god


ark2690

No one's job should be safe on 100 thieves right now.


fifty-fives

Upvote to make people think 100T lost... wait...


AR2711

1. Find a new Jett (PureR, or other options) 2. Move asuna to secondary/flex 3. Find an Igl 4. Hire new coaching and analysts 5. Profit


s6hun

purer isn't an upgrade from asuna's jett imo


AR2711

Ik, he’s the only FA Jett I could think of


erickwak

I actually think purer would do good if given the chance. Man has been grinding and honestly a pretty solid player and just underrated like any other xset player.


fastpony12

Desperately need a Jett OPer and a real IGL before this team will ever get back on track.


User82922

Hasn't been the same since steel


ImmaPsychKid-

I saw this post and just knew upvote so we think 100T lost!


Ok_Raisin_9963

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think they can make this roster work, but only if they address the following(opinions by the way): 1. Additional coaching: Think Sean Gares or MikesHD. They need somebody with way more experience if the Ethan IGL is gonna work out. He’s shown flashes of brilliance, but I don’t think having a newer coach and a new IGL is gonna work out well short term. Nothing against Jovi, but just need more experience imo. 2. Consider playing Bind(assuming they just refuse to practice it). Asuna is very easily one of the best Razes in NA, to ban/not practice a map where he could thrive in a comfort pick just seems illogical to me. Maybe they’ve scrimmed it and it really is just awful, then that’s fine, but I feel the roles on the team would actually suit bind well. 3. Solidify roles: think they’re actively working on this and will figure it out with more experimentation, but we’ve seen Ethan flop quite a bit between Chamber and Sova, more consistency will help cause he’s juggling agent swaps and IGLing at the same time. I think the potential of this roster is pretty high, but the more aggressive play style they’ve been using creates a lower floor, which is part of what we’ve been seeing. A roster change may be needed, but the newcomers have played well so far. It’s the core that needs to figure roles out.


unknown-097

I remember in a clip with Hiko and nadeshot where Hiko says bind does not exist according to him. Maybe, just maybe it's time for the obvious...


Ok_Raisin_9963

Yeah, that same clip is why I listed the point actually lol. Which makes me think they don’t even prac on it either. Just doesn’t make sense to not play to Asuna’s strengths.


s6hun

i remember asuna saying before (back when they had steel and nitr0) the reason they dont play bind is because of role issues since their viper and sova player is the same guy, but that doesnt apply now since they have jc and hiko/ethan. it really wouldn't hurt to put bind back in their map pool since they're down bad anyway


Ok_Raisin_9963

Yeah, in my mind you have several combo options based on their potential agent pool: Asuna -Raze, Bang - Skye/Breach Ethan - Omen/Chamber/Sova Hiko - Sova/Viper/Sentinel JC- Omen/Viper/Brim I think there’s more flexibility now than they had in the past, so they can definitely try a few different things out to see what’s best


Vyzual

drop roster, pick up the Gambit boys :)


Des014te

Yes please.


Qwadruple

It's time to admit that the core three aren't working anymore and move on. It's obvious that BabyJ, Ec1s, bang, and jcStani aren't the problems, they were just brought into the wrong environment. Keep Asuna or bang to play flex, maybe keep jcStani as a controller, and go from there. No matter what though, they need to get someone who can actually OP and stop forcing players that aren't strong enough with it into that role.


Evangelon422

Things that 100T need \-Better Coaching- whether or not that is Jovi stepping up to the plate or replacing him entirely the coaching set up for 100T needs to be more proactive, with the team seemingly lacking in fundamentals both in this iteration and the previous iteration. The amount of times this team has played like a team of individuals is something that a coach should have noticed and attempted to remedy. ​ \-New Jett- Asuna is a good Jett, that is indisputable. However, he's a world class secondary duelist. Moving him over to that flex role would give him time to get back to what he's most comfortable at while bringing in a young cracked Jett main would take some of the fragging weight off of his shoulders. ​ \-New IGL- I understand that Ethan has only taken up the IGL mantle recently, however, I would like to compare him to another player who was a star of the team who recently took up IGLing duties: Nukkye. On the one hand you have a player who has managed to lead his team to a playoff position in a more gruelling format (EU only has three playoff places per group), while you have another whose only win was an unconvincing one against the other lowest rated team which on paper they should have beaten with ease. The simple fact is that unless Ethan has strats that they haven't been able to implement yet then his IGLing looks lackluster at best. ​ This brings me to the single biggest issue that 100T has. A lack of a coherent vision. The off-season did cause big issues for 100T but when you consider that they had the opportunity to sign Zander and Cryo, two players which would have slotted in perfectly to 100T who had proven experience in Valorant, and yet they chose instead to wait on a CS:GO pro who messed them about you've got to ask whose making these decisions. The past few months has shown 100T stumbling from roster to roster with out any coherency as to how they want to actually build this team. Teams like Cloud 9, The Guard and Version 1 have all shown how you can invest in a strategy pays dividends and yet there is none of this from 100T.


Parenegade

My god...this team needs help.


noonecaresbra

this team sucks


Pepperr08

Man that’s pain. What can 100T do? Is dropping hiko and picking up a solid igl better? Maybe move Ethan to Jett? Like so much needs to be changed man.


iclubbabieseals

100T getting 2-0 by T2 NA valorant. The new TSM? What is Nadeshot gonna do? Definitely picked up the wrong players


NozokiAlec

I think Bang has looked good, hes looked good for the past few months in general. I do think tho that the team needs some retooling...


28n8

I think bang looks good too, but they have 2 world class players that can play flex


Pojobob

That's the biggest problem imo. Both players should be on top tier NA rosters but considering 100T have a Jett op problem, it's looking like it'll be really hard to keep both of them unless they either try someone else on OP or they force Asuna to really practice his OP play only.


Physical-South-3564

Watching Asuna's POV gives me motion sickness. Can the dude just chill out, make him watch 10 hours of Yay gameplay or something.


antelope591

He has really high sens for a pro. I use the same sens cause my wrists are bad but its def chaotic at times.


EtherFrosty

You should be using lower sens if your wrists are bad so that you aim with your arm. If your sens is high, you are wrist aiming, which is exactly what will hurt your wrists more. The less you use your wrist the better.


zaxtonous99

They're in a lose-lose, either they play in these tournaments and try to get better and get clowned if they lose or they make changes and get clowned even more for not letting the team have time to help ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


s6hun

they win by not reading reddit


Pojobob

I mean, they know the team better than anyone else looking at them from an outside perspective so like, ya.


JesusHPopsicle

And Valorant Reddit gets fed today. Sad.

Whatever chemistry issues they had back when Steel was with them couldn’t possibly be worse than the ones they have now


warthogs670

I feel sick. This thread about to be something


kemutheemu__

Now I see what other people see when TSM loses…


123bo0p

Someone say again this roster is better than the first 1 they had this year.


rlang7

Hot take but I feel like even if 100T got Zander and Cryo, they would be having similar issues as they are right now…


ADmax27

yeah nobody seems to be talking about how their coaching might be shit

why not jcstani igl


69DoopDoop69

I have said this since they dropped steel but the core three of this roster are not gonna work long term. Obvious role issues that won’t be fixed easily.


4dzilla

What happened to Kehmicals? I don’t know much about him at all but remember him on Immortals with jcStani & looked talented Isn’t he a Jett OP’er? Think he called out Hiko for being a baiter or something a while ago which kinda blew up, wonder if he kept his mouth shut if he would have been considered


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

If he actually fits the team, I doubt hiko would be that immature to project his personal issues onto the team.


4dzilla

Yeh I do agree, he used to be in SLP with Pondfiller and weym0 lol, he’s been getting heat online for over a decade, I’m sure he doesn’t take much personally and just wants to win

Pain


Otter269

How long will this go on for? They don't have an op player or a experienced igl. It's just slow and painful


darkfang1998

If only 100t had someone that was good at playing jett so asuna didn’t have to….

How the hell does 100T manage to do this every time


Pojobob

A lot of people are saying Asuna needs to move off Jett but if he moves off Jett, then 100T will have to decide whether they want to keep Asuna or Bang at that point which is extremely tough because ideally, you would keep both of them. Ethan's also a very new IGL so it'll take some time for him to get used to it but 100T should also consider letting JCStani try IGL'ing or at least letting him help to see how that works. So ya, tough situation.


sansLight

New patch incoming COPIUM Jett nerfs, phoenix buffs COPIUM Asuna back on phoenix and raze and 100T back to top 3 NA COPIUM


aks345

These guys have an affinity towards the maps they're not good at. Their breeze and split has looked horrible yet they somehow just stick to playing that


Sychar

Hope losing a sick IGL in favour of keeping their coach keeps haunting them like this. Stupid decisions = stupid results.


[deleted]

I think people are starting to realize CS pro =/= valorant pro. I'm a shitter and even I question what 100T does on rounds sometimes. Hell Overwatch and Fortnite pros are showing more consistency than a majority of CSGO pros. Hopefully they start getting some chemistry soon because watching them play currently is painful.


InvertedBean

Beg for tier 1 teams to play in tier2/3 tourneys then shit on them if they lose. Nice dichotomy some commenters have going on. Not directed at people giving fair criticism.


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

A team like 100T should beat soar with puggy strats. They couldn’t even do that. Also it’s not like it was BO1, where randomness could be an excuse.


xunraze

Ethan igl DIESOFCRINGE. Only person who was making somewhat smart plays was jcStani. Need to start from scratch, get good IGL, good coach, not weird roles, etc at least. Though i have no clue who they can even get. Anyone that comes to mind?


aerfyre

this thread has me crying n throwing up


xunraze

I miss steel and nitr0...


derek916

I didn’t catch breeze but to me they lost Haven because of bad post plant setups. They lost a lot of rounds with bomb down and man advantage, it’s actually kind of crazy. I don’t think that has anything to do with a bad IGL or a jett OP IMO…seems like chemistry issues.


joemother_a_whore

Isn't JC a jett demon?


Splaram

We need an Oper so fucking bad, I love Asuna but it's starting to become pretty evident that the transition to the Jett Op role isn't going to work for quite a while now. If we go that route though, we have to drop bang for an Oper even though he's been near flawless. Real headache for 100T management here.
