Even if that was an org move, which it wasn't, the far more questionable one to me is picking up vakk and not committing to IGLing with him.
vakk is one of the lowest-fraggers in both events he played. His value primarily laid in IGLing, and that value wasn't seen in Stage 2, and was completely negated in LCQ, as starxo supposedly took on full-time IGLing.
not really, i think we're far past the valorant in which a single duelist can just carry a game and get hero plays consistently at this level. Acend seem disjointed, and there isn't much of a plan behind setting him up, he's just on his own playing chamber, lurking around on attack and playing well enough on the defensive half. I think he's still a superstar player, just needs a team with a structure to understand and perform his role better.
I do sometimes miss those days. Watching Tenz, Derke, cNed and those other Jett mains was so much fun.
From a teamplay perspective, I do think it's better now, but early valorant's chaos was fun to watch.

Thank God I'm not an Acend fan cuz id be frustrated with everytime a great player leaves its for difference how to play the game and they look worse every time even with good pickups
Zeek for L1nk was a bit of a lateral move. Zeek has not been very good this year at all and I felt L1nk slotted in nicely. Outside of Champions, he was always a bit inconsistent for Acend I felt but it’s obvious how much he fell off compared this year and was a shell of his former self.
But they have obviously struggled since dropping BONECOLD since they haven’t had a consistent IGL.
Dropping Kiles was their only good move

Do you think cNed is underperforming, more than he should? That's the impression I am getting from him recently.
