either of the two players i mentioned could fill his role of a solid, consistent fragger like cajun, but they'd also have the possibility of going off the rails nuts like device and dupreeh do sometimes. honestly though if denmark hasn't made a final by now they don't have a hope

Back when they were Dignitas (+FETiSH -karrigan), cajunb did quit in late 2014 due to internal issues and was replaced with aizy. They did worse and he came back after a month or so.

Side note, Aizy really needs a better team than FaZe, but there isn't one besides Astralis. :smith:

that actually has no relevance because they had fetish, an igl notable for having literally no t side strats and having to rely entirely on outfragging their opponents to get out of groups

I'm just saying that they're not inclined to swap anyone out, much less now that they all co-own their own org.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

If I get both of the remaining picks correct, I will have exactly 74 points (including the bonus point for tomorrow). For gently caress's sake.

Also I had Edward, Dupreeh and cajunB in my fantasy team. Edward got me 88 points but the other two fizzled out at 32p/21p respectively. I was in the top 7% before the semifinals so I need Coldzera and Fallen to go big to make it back into top 5% tomorrow. :saddowns:

well, i'm just saying what i would do in the case that i had final say on the astralis roster. a likely happening for two players to be kicked? no, but this roster has a fatal flaw that leads them to choke time and time again at every major, and that's unacceptable. at least with my roster swap, device and dupreeh could play lovely under pressure and they would have a small chance of winning on the backs of magisk and kjaerbye (if they can develop into sick lan players, which i'm sure they are more than capable of) as opposed to none

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
There's another super team worth of danes floating around, but their scene is traditionally pretty unstable. Except Astralis I guess.

Didn't get to see the games today sadly, seen the desk say Na'Vi won all 4 pistols which much have been pretty crushing. Weird for them to take Inferno so close yet to get stomped on dust2 as well.

Unironically I'd cut any other player except maybe Karrigan before I cut Xyp9x from that squad. Device seems to choke in big games way more, and there's no shortage of sick aim talent in Denmark to replace their fraggers. Xyp9x is a nuts clutcher, amazing support, and consistent against any team, any time it seems like. If anybody wants to learn how to be good at CS and doesn't have freaky mutant raw aim talent, just watch that kid with the giant forehead.

I just checked the stats and he top fragged against Na'Vi in the series. I don't really think he is the problem, it's the supposed stars of the lineup who just stop delivering in semis.
