Here’s my own hot take. In 2-3 years Navi will go back to an all Ukrainian lineup. I’ll do you one better and try to predict the lineup. Wonderful (up and coming awper), bit (skilled passive rifler), simple (skilled aggressive hybrid), zontix (anchor), and igl… either sdy or npl. I wanna see the fireworks with simple under one of those guys igling, could be so entertaining. I realize it seems a bit ridiculous now but that’s my hot take for you

I'm with thorin, electronic wanting to IGL seems unlikely if you follow the train of thought. It seems more like the team doesn't want Jame to call and Jame putting it out there is maybe a hail mary protest against the idea because he knows how the community will react to it but internally that's what they want at this point.

Electronic ruined his career. Played with the GOAT of cs for 5 years straight while also being in his own prime. then after boombl4 was benched, FOR SOME REASON HE DECIDED TO IGL WHILE BEING A TOP 5 PLAYER. Then not only was he awful as a caller, but also wasn't a leader causing the team to have absolutely horrible chemistry, also causing SDY and Npl mistreatment. Electronic almost never did interviews (even tho he knows English good enough) even tho he was the goddamn igl so he wasn't taking any responsibility as a leader. EXACT same thing he did in C9, thankfully him joining caused shiro bench and eventually move to spirit causing them to fire up so I guess we can thank him for that. But after two years of elec igling and rotting away his skillsets, he joins vp and everyone else is like he is the rifler as he was back in 2021? Hes not even top 20 anymore.

These players have such a huge ego because people put such insane 'price tags' on them and their buyouts/contracts, it's 100% the fault of the orgs paying such insane salaries early on and just burning through VC money. And orgs wonder why they aren't profitable lol, when they burn so much on players and a lot don't even have merch/content/etc, even then the players act like babies and cry about having to do media days, it's WILD.

@Isitar Ай бұрын

lol, Kassad just hate Falcons - lol, cannot take anything he says about them, serius. Just remember the last shows he has been on, pure hate. Ofc they will be in top 20. So Falcons got screwed by his buddy Niko, both of them probably still laugh their ass off by the stunt they pulled. But, actually, I personally, just pitty them - a bit like Astralis when they f up Heroic with their shananigans and stabbi. In my world, the Astralis org has taken a hit - will newer be the same, no matter the resaults.
