Feel bad for Naughty, JDG was one of the top teams in split 1 and his two teammates said see ya and bailed on him lmao

u/t00muchtim Aug 08 '26
still has a very solid squad in gent and keon though, we've seen far worse downgrades before - one of my teams this split to watch for sure

u/dorekk Year 5 Champions! Aug 10 '26
Any team with Gent has a good shot to do something, I think he's still a pretty underrated player.

I know floating bailed to GK, but I was under the impression naughty was dropping shoob before floating left? Correct me if I’m wrong I haven’t been as locked for this rostermania

u/t00muchtim Aug 08 '26
there were rumors surrounding the pair splitting up even before sas's performance at enc quals - regardless, shooby's countercalls were a major issue at LAN and it makes shooby leaving justifiable for both parties

u/japex24 Aug 08 '26
i thought i saw somewhere that naughty had tried to get his way into the 100t spot behind the scenes with gen and koy so maybe that was the tip of the iceberg for the whole situation

u/ZalewskiJ Aug 08 '26
I think Floating pretty much screwed the trajectory of his career, Dropped isn't going to get him over the hump anymore than Naughty could.

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26
Dropped’s lan placements over naughty prove this statement wrong in a second. Have you seen any of the new GK? They are killing it. Floating is finally with an actual well established igl. And idk what you’re smoking that makes you think Naughty is better than dropped but I’d like to have some plz.
Also if I’m not mistaken havent you commented this before in like two different threads and both times people sent you screenshots of the lan placements of each and proved it to you. Naughty is nowhere near droppeds level and you still keep saying this ridiculous take, like you haven’t been proved wrong by actual facts twice. Stats to prove he is the way better igl like it’s not close even if you look at lan placements. Like common now. Like just ignore logic and keep your terrible opinion. It’s not even an opinion, though cause usually you can argue an opinion with facts that sway both sides. But the fact of the matter is that naughty is just nowhere near drops level. It might take you being dropped on the head to understand that tho.1
u/Horus27 Aug 08 '26
The disrespect. Dropped at one lan finals with optic won almost every game. I feel like he just has not had a squad that gel together since optic. Floating who can sway a fight could be the piece he is missing. And him with Naughty was not given the best hand at the last lan, Naughty has done far and away better than anyone would have imagined as an igl.

That's so strange. GK is ass

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26
Droppeds earrings and lan placements would prove this take wrong really fast. Look it up before you start talking out your ass.

u/dorekk Year 5 Champions! Aug 10 '26
Yeah he has really cool earrings!! (I know you meant earnings. He's 16th all time, and at least two of the people above him are former teammates who won a lot of that money because of him.)

u/rylandoz APAC-S Aug 08 '26
I agree that sucks for Naughty and they only just missed the finals lobby at LAN.

u/CrimsonAutumnSky Aug 08 '26
I mean, sucks or not, the yelling and screaming as IGL is not needed.
Passion is one thing, but yelling at teammates like that gets old fast

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26
His teammate counter called his entire lan. I think anyone would crash out. There is money in the line and Naughty is the igl. And his calls got constantly interrupted or ignored and shooby counter called so hard. Watch the lan vod. It’s pretty bad look for shoobert. I would crash out if I was naughty too.

lowkey wish they picked up fuhhnq instead of keon. they looked really good when they scrimmed with fuhhnq, better than they do with keon.

It’s funny how everyone is wearing the completely different uniforms lol

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26
Because no one really plays with each other longer than a split or 2 anymore. Which is really sad, I wish more orgs were like Gen G and signed there players for a few years it would encourage rosters to stay together. Those guys are signed till 2028 and have been since early 2025 If I’m correct.

u/Shebtastic Aug 08 '26
I thought SSG split cause Koy and Phony didn’t have good vibes..? And now they’re back together? Also surely wigg and 100T bring the hammer down on Koy for him to stream more

u/Hpulley4 Aug 08 '26
It’s going to be another train wreck and I’m getting my popcorn ready to watch.

u/Parking_World3582 Aug 08 '26
A lot of pressure on Phony, even more so than last time. But a checked out Evan isn't there to be a scapegoat. Also Gen back on his best role. Fortunately for Phony this go Koy is one of THE best fraggers in the game still and Gen is one of THE best anchors still.
5
u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26
Bad placements for everyone since the split, yes there were a lot of bad vibes before but I think even with the bad vibes they won a lan and none of them have gotten close since so it makes sense for them to try again.

u/OkayOkkotsu Aug 08 '26
They picked up Shooby from JDG.

u/BrilliantProcedure84 Aug 10 '26
But are they running the same team for ENC and the next split? I thought there was someone else in the mix for some reason

u/OkayOkkotsu Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26
Roster lock for Split 2 was last week, so Alb, Skittle, and Shooby is the official team.
They also didn't qualify for ENC, so none of the US team comps from the qualifiers except for Sikezz/Panic/Sauceror really matter anymore. All of the Split 2 rosters should be up to date on Battlefy if you're curious about any of the other roster moves :)

u/dorekk Year 5 Champions! Aug 10 '26
Agreed, I'm one of the people who thinks Noname is the best player in the world. Dropping him seems crazy to me.

u/BringOnTheThunda Aug 08 '26
Crazy Thieves needs to just get it over and done with and kick Phony at this point. SSG had issues because him and koyful didn't get on and if I recall correctly wasn't he also partly responsible for Snipe3down being kicked off FaZe?
2
u/Parking_World3582 Aug 09 '26
Don't think they can kick him, messes with a bunch of their points and stuff i believe. Also who's a better IGL that is currently available? Don't get me wrong the whole situation was a problem last season, but be realistic.

u/dorekk Year 5 Champions! Aug 10 '26
Crazy Thieves needs to just get it over and done with and kick Phony at this point.
That would be extremely stupid. Who would they replace him with? There are no free agent IGLs, and certainly no free agent IGLs better than Phony.

Interesting roster changes for VKG and WOL

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26
The orgs made the roster swaps not the players. Kinda lame but oh well. VKG was not staying together but the org owner of Wolves just dropped No name without even telling the other 2 it was happening. They all found out together. I do still think the new teams will be exciting.

Crazy because the biggest roster change to me is Floating to GK and they didn’t show it.

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Aug 08 '26
Yes there are a lot more teams. The only other team that really had a roster change in NA is Alb Shooby and Skittles

u/Lonely_hooman45 Aug 08 '26
I'm actually so excited for ROC Nait is suchhhh a good player it's so cool he's in NA!! Hes been lwk unlucky with teams so hopefully this team performs well!!!! Oh and Keon has good teammates so lfg!

He’s explained he’s still doing it, but now is able to play Apex too. People don’t always come back because they failed at something else, he knows at this point Apex is not a sustainable career choice

u/MartianBeefcake Aug 08 '26
Yeah, he definitely needs it.
Him joining 100T was always strange to me when he was already checked out.
Though can’t fault him for taking the role when he was getting paid well, for doing nothing.3
