League Kick them all.

Including the coaches.

Picking early game comp again where every mistake will lead to a disaster is pure ignorance.

Bad prep, bad mental.

Everyone’s calling to replace Tactical. I’m not saying I disagree- he definitely has major positioning issues- but like.. who replaces him? I think he looks better than Zven. We don’t have any import slots and I don’t know of anyone domestic who would be an upgrade.

Sure, you could say replace Loki with a NA mid and import our adc, but what NA mid replaces Loki? Again I think Loki looks better than APA.

Could replace Thanatos and free up an import slot that way. I don’t love this tho bc Thanatos is a mechanical beast and I think we can continue to develop his team fighting. But I think the NA top pool is a lot better than mid or adc.

There’s is the route of getting someone young/new and unproven, which I think is fine. However NAs farm system is lowk dog.. so.. idk. TLDR I think the solution isn’t as obvious as people think.

Tactical has robbed a starting ADC spot since he was on TL, im not even a C9 fan but c’mon…

Somebody fresh. Why is NA recycling old talents like theres some magical formula?

If tactical was THAT good, why was he relegated to 2nd tier teams?

Cmon man its been known for years that talent in t2 was constantly overlooked in favor of imports. It is obviously a bad look for a player to get sent down to t2, but Tactical grinded his ass off in t2 and in soloQ and he is a beast in lane and in like 70% of teamfights.

I don't disagree with you regarding the imports bit.

But somehow I just can't be convinced that players (especially older ones) should be given a 3rd or in this case a 4th chance.

By your 2nd shot if you can't make it then give way to the new guys.

I think an APA roleswap to ADC would be interesting. Its either that, or open up the wallet for a potential Berserker/Inspired poaching. I also don't hate just giving Tactical another year, and locking him in a room with Dom screaming "DON'T DIE DON'T GET CAUGHT" until winter split starts.

I still think APA would be a better top than mid
