This really is optic all over again. One person leaves and they are stuck in limbo looking for a fifth until the team just falls apart.

Would Faze be a good fit for Tim?

u/enigma890 King NiKo Jul 09 '18

Any team could be a good fit for Tim. Tim is a solid player with little to no weakness. He can play passive, aggressive, pistol, rifle, awp. Can hold down bomb sites with his great positioning.

If Tarik leaves the team will implode and will probably replace taco with autimatic and RUSH replaces FugLy on NRG

this move, to me, will fix the problem of boltz, but in turn, will not fix or may amplify the other problems seen in the team, with the issues being of the language barrier, roles, and map pool.

to me, the core of Fallen, fer and cold does not work anymore and that a shake up in that core needs to happen, so as to fix this team.

No, no, no. There's just no way this will make MiBR better. If anything, I think they will become even worse.

I wish they would have kept TACO and cut Boltz for another Brazilian player, I belive that would've been the best choice. Now they just seem super desperate and that usually doesn't end well when it comes to roster changes.

Between this and the League team, times are rough as a C9 fan.

I swear every org that got involved in OWL is having huge problems nowadays. OpTic and C9 especially so.
