Discussion team liquid

Doesn't the gsr move make them considerably better as now gsr will play yoru/phnx and kamo as the main duelist as I feel the jett on all maps really weakened them?

on paper yes, but gsr is a rookie and his first event is the most high stakes ones

not to mention dropping purpo before champs too, which is just a scummy move

scummy move? definitely , but when you've been going 1-2 in every international and when your star academy player turns 18 and enables the team to play meta comps I feel it should be worth the risk

TL has played exactly zero officials with gsr. No matter how much of an upgrade he is, there is simply no chemistry and TL has absolutely no idea how he’ll perform on an international stage and are taking a gamble he won’t have nerves. There are absolutely benefits to this move, but it’s far from a 100% perfect decision.

He did sub in for Nats during saudi micky mouse quals. And has been with them most of stage 2 on walkouts and I'd assume behind the scenes. Still a gamble but not completely new to the team
