Since it’s a new squad it’s hard to judge how they will do, but on paper the other WEU teams look much stronger

TheRat posted:So, uh, are w33 and Saksa both team-less? Seems like it. As it pertains to T1 and T2 EU teams: -Liquid only has 1, 4, and 5 officially locked. w33 could land there but no space for Saksa. -Nigma hasn't said anything lately. No way w33 goes back, and I doubt Saksa could replace gh. -OG is basically an empty roster at this point, though obviously Saksa is not going to join them. Maybe a lower EU tier team like Brame or Gambit could pick them up? Doesn't seem to be a good space for them right now. Both players have had runs in NA, so they could put together a team to compete for local LAN money.

Interesting that they've signed long-term contracts, implying they won't see any change. Most teams that stick together only do so if successful it seems, so it'll be a good trial of whether a team wiht some issues can grind through them or whether they just melt down.

Weirdly bummed to see Notail taking a break, even though it's entirely reasonable to do so. Guy's been a pro player that I've watched the whole time I've been into this genre, since back in the HoN days. Slacks RTed some stream for a charity tournament, think it's just all random dudes but the casting is actually pretty sick https://www.twitch.tv/yodi_brodi Geight fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Nov 20, 2021 |

Huh. I really didn't expect that. Jerax seemed like one of the more legit retirements since it looked like he stopped playing entirely. I guess there really is nothing like high-level Dota.
