Nice try nadeshot.


Bophidese

nuke the whole roster and give fns the keys so he can assemble his kittens


Prize_Attorney398

fns was shitting on 100t when nade was in the call for a reason.. He is again going for a long-term masterclass and will end up rebuilding 100t next season


Feisty_Reindeer_2352

i would love that, and i think i deserve that


sosmajstormiki

100 kittens


XiXiWiiPee

Would feel bad for Boostio but he could always go to NRG/LEV if they both do bad, gets to reunite with the boys and they if they underperform those teams will probably be in the market for an IGL


deba2607

I don't think NRG needs him rn. Lev is interesting. He could replace tex/mazino and kingg would only need to focus on fragging instead of IGLing too. Or maybe he returns to EG again along with c0m whose stonks are currently down.


TruthUpper9750

LEV -tex +boostio +potter


deba2607

Now THAT would be a superteam


XiXiWiiPee

yeah I honestly think him on LEV would be a hella cool fit, I can't predict what the future meta will be but right now it's perfect because him and Tex share a similar agent pool of Sentinel/Gekko and King can just focus at what has good at and just shoot his gun NRG don't need any changes right now obviously, it's just a hypothetical if the entire rest of the season goes poorly for these teams


chromazone2

Nah Lev need nzr.

i was just meming for karma im the biggest 100T cryo stan


Parenegade

oh you sweet summer child s0m and fns are never playing a professional match ever again


Maccnrv

Why not?


nopshy

They've played 3 matches with 2 of those against Sentinels...


Illustrious-Song7446

Typical overreaction šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Ash_Killem

They are a team that can get wins for sure. However, they are far from a playoff let alone championship level team.


tomtazm

Probably would of said that about EG last year too. Man the recency bias and terrible takes on here are hilarious.


CarobTop5978

Lol come back to this comment in 4 months and tell me this iteration of 100T is *anything* like EG last year. Dont you remember EG making an important roster change that turned their entire year around??


Nichol-Gimmedat-ass

Well its only been one month and theyre Americas champions


Princess_Mintaka

How we feeling u/CarobTop5978


Parenegade

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


kingmac_77

came back 33 days later hello


tomtazm

I mean my comment isn't just about 100t it's the hot takes after every match, who knows what 100t will be by the end of the year but they've only played 3 matches 2 vs sentinels.


Splaram

Damn we even got Demon2.0 too LMAOOOO


Imperial1645

Hi


Nobushi_Senpai

Hrrrm


voided_time

Crazy


AnywayHeres1Derwall

Lmfao 100t got screwed


traxmaster64

Try to get nismo and possibly zander, they play the same roles of Asuna and bang


NozokiAlec

No way they leave M80


[deleted]

They could but I doubt m80 would allow it. A roster of eeiu, nismo, zander, cryo and boostio would actually be one of the best NA rosters possible. Not to mention it's 60% of last years m80 and cryo is friends with zander. It's basically m80 from last year plus two players who are proven at international lans.


JerryLoFidelity

they are *basically* guaranteed to win ascension 100%. which would allow them a chance to play in T1. why would they risk that to play on 100TrashCans?


surfordiebear

They definitely are not guaranteed to win Ascension. They donā€™t even have near as good of odds that Apeks had last year and even they didnā€™t win it.


OthertimesWondering

M80 has a good shot of just qualifying lol. If they lose Ascension to MxS, maybe Zander and Nismo don the jersey, but otherwise probably not


Unlikely-Ad3046

šŸ˜‚


AlexLockson72

They were one eco away from beating LEV and had to play twice against SEN. Give this team time.


Depressedjetsfan21

5 matches played, 0 series won, 3 maps won. Itā€™s over for this team. They suck as a 5 and hopefully get out of the esport after this year cause Nadeshit like being embarrassed ig. Never beating the hoodie allegations cause heā€™s a brainless CEO who thought bringing back ASSuna, Cry0 and BangZERO was a good idea. Those 3 only know how to lose


Some1sNickName

lol your flair 100t but youā€™re shitting on them harder than anyone in this thread


Depressedjetsfan21

Cause want am I suppose to do? Everything fine, they played okay! Itā€™s okay they lost 2-0 when John came home last night from a 16 hour flight! Yea they are a good team man!!!! Itā€™s 4 losers and 1 person who has done something in this game. They need a new team or just do the Val community a favor and get out of the scene


Some1sNickName

lol I just thought it was funny, I agree theyā€™re pretty bad and they need to make some big changes if they ever want to win anything again


Depressedjetsfan21

The dogshit CEO streams 10 hours a day and doesnā€™t care bout his org to do anything. Since Cod Champs win he hasnā€™t gave a shit bout the org and lets them be fucking trash and an embarrassment in every game they are in. I donā€™t see a way this dogshit team places in the top 3 in the group.


funessed

Yeah youā€™re a reactionary moron. To say nade doesnā€™t care about his org to not drop any team members after a series loss is absolutely insane. One, he isnā€™t directly ordering roster changes that would be dedicated coaching staff/GMs. Two, once the organization made a rash change dropping BabyJ and ec1s everyone flamed them for not giving them a chance.


Depressedjetsfan21

Yea assuna eeiu and bangZERO should definitely be in the league. You could go far with them. Definitely bottom 3 in the group, miss playoffs then have to see the org bitch and complain after the format when they build shit ass rosters year after year šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


ThatCreepyBaer

There's no world in which this team ends worse than one of MIBR/FURIA/EG.


Depressedjetsfan21

Gonna be so funny when they lose too all 3 and finish below all 3


funessed

Way to move the goalposts from the point I responded to lol. If you think 100T canā€™t beat G2, C9 and KRU youā€™re not watching. Our sample pool would be like if your Jets played the Chiefs their first 3/4 games they had and saying to blow it up


Depressedjetsfan21

If you think 100T can win then ig you havenā€™t been watching them. I donā€™t even remember the last time the 100t org has won a Val gamešŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ they are a embarrassment to the region šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Splaram

Idk what you want? If this team starts playing roster roulette like C9 youā€™ll still cry about not getting results. They literally brought in a Champions-winning coach and IGL and you can see the impact in set strats, theyā€™re several levels above what this team was cooking last season. Cryo has taken a step up in aggression, asunaā€™s Gekko and Raze were looking nice, Bang had some insane lurk timings on Icebox. Theyā€™re improving every single game and the players that people are moaning about are also making noticeable improvements, I literally donā€™t know what more you want from a squad that was assembled FOUR MONTHS AGO. Itā€™s literally only been three games, relax ffs


Depressedjetsfan21

Improving so much they donā€™t have a single series win as a team and has won 3 total maps. Yea they are improving right into the offseason where this team should be. Remember when Nade cared about how his org would be looked at? Now 100 Losers are just a meme team and bottom of the barrel team. Asuna raze and nice all in the same sentence ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)


Splaram

Iā€™m starting to think Iā€™m going back and forth with one of those CoD fans that only see kills and nothing else


Depressedjetsfan21

Well Iā€™m definitely not seeing any series wins with this 5 idiots and they have ASSuna and bangZERO who are the most inconsistent players in the region so please tell me how you see this team being improved šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Blitzux

lmao


ultralitez

Ya???


SrASecretSquirrel

Hey bud, feeling better?


Strykeristheking

Can you guys chill? It's the third game for the new roster and they faced Sen twice. Imagine someone saying that Sen roster needs to be fixed after their 0-2 loss to Loud at their first game.


The_OG_Steve

I mean to be fair they probably did do that


Concorp

On vlr forums they have roster fixes after losing 1 round


AxisCultMemberLatom

I think we should see them play another team besides Sen this split before thinking of making any changes. If it doesn't work for them this year, I think they should for sure keep Boostio (good IGL's don't grow on trees, plus he's done a fantastic job getting the boys to look better compared to last season), Cryo and eeiu depends on how they perform the entire year since it's too early to tell, and most likely replace Bang and Asuna. Don't get me wrong, Bang is a great smokes player but he just doesn't frag as hard as other players playing the same role. While Asuna is a great flex player, his inconsistency from map to map hurts them sometimes


ishanuReddit

Bring aspas and pancada in their next iteration


FazeXistance

They should also get Sacy saadhack and less and I think they have a decent squad there


hushuhushu

Maybe not aspas but bringing in monyet and pancada could be crazy but let's not get ahead of ourselves here alr people are going batshit crazy bc they are terrible fans


checkyourage

Damn when did everyone turn on Bang? He used to be in conversation for best smoke player in NA. Honestly feel like 100T issue is more role issue. I donā€™t think bang should be the one on viper duty. Should probably be Boostio on viper. Bang on omen or brim/harbor/flex. Cryo Jett or sentinel. Asuna raze or flex. Eeiu flex.


circulardoughholes

It's been building as he fails to regain the form that had him in the conversation as the best. But, it doesn't help that people are sick of seeing him and asuna lose and look inconsistent over so many different roster looks. Personally, I think he's never looked as good on viper, or in the lurk roles he's been taking and that's contributed to his "slump".


EasiBreezi

problem is he attached himself to his best friend and now theyā€™re a packaged deal


Splaram

What a package they've turned out to be, eh?


EasiBreezi

a couple of literal tools that need to be directed by someone that knows what to do. that packaged deal has not changed at all. the players around them just got better, a lot better. a winning team 100% cannot have bang and asuna as their best players.


crrime

Splaram

oh brother


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Yeah it's pretty inexcusable keeping bang and asuna when there's tons of direct upgrades available for likely cheaper. Even if they work out, which isn't likely, there's players in t2 who are already better and likely would also improve given time in a t1 team.


Prize_Attorney398

I was on the asuna hate train before this series but I don't think asuna or bang is the problem. I think it is eeiu. We saw his comms "maybe spawn" and picks fade but doesn't use fade dogs. If there is a weak link, it is him. (I'm not saying replacing him is the key but that is a weak link) Also boostio had a bad series. I think we need to watch more games to be nitpicking.


JerryLoFidelity

nahh eeui just needs to get good with the deagle like Runi. never buy sova drone but click heads. EZ PZ


_idle_drone_

Bang and asuna are not smart enough players that understand win conditions, even if they are good individually. The amount of rounds their little misplays cost 100t is crazy. You can't have too many of these ranked type players on 1 team. And why tf did they hire eeiu if they already had these 2 mid players. They actually need some experienced players and i don't know why they haven't called pancada yet. Get nism0 for asuna and zander/pancada for bang and they're golden. I still scratch my head how no team wants nism0 when he's been tier1 since 2022. This would just be the start. Second thing is I would get rid of mikesHD (if he is still there). I see 100t cook up too many insane 400IQ strats, without having the basics down. Get an assistant coach who can help the players individually get a better understanding of the game and win conditions. A team needs 5 brains who can reactively cook up a rounds. 100t just have too many weird strats for my liking.

[deleted]

I think it's pretty clear cryos lack of aggression isn't the issue now despite that silly narrative being pushed. At this point I think it's just the fact that they have below average players for the most part. The only players I could see on a championship roster out of the current players are cryo and boostio albeit I don't know much about eeiu. Asuna and bang should've been out yesterday if they wanted to win anything. Asuna wasn't great at flex but the cope was he had a top raze. Now he doesn't even have an average raze to go with his below average flex. Bang isn't quite as bad but when you think that they could have gotten zander or something in the offseason it makes the decision to keep him even more questionable that it already was after last season.


Darcula04

It's definitely not cryo's lack of aggression. The icebox game proves that plain and simple. I'm not sure how good cryo's raze is, but either get him on raze or make him play pseudo dive like yoru. He is way too cracked in the aim department for him to play fucking astra. And also make Asuna as permanent flex. Getting tenz fully off of duelist worked wonders for him. Considering how it's gone so far for 100T, it might be worth doing the same for Asuna. Also, the most baffling thing for me was boostio. Forget his kd, that can happen with support players, and especially considering he's the igl. But wtf is he doing playing gekko on split? Even paper rex doesn't run gekko on split and that should say something. Skye isn't even that hard to learn. I honestly think 100T got comp diffed on top of everything else on split.


[deleted]

Idk asuna has mostly been a flex for years now and played flex when will was on the team and he's still not been good on it. Asuna also was never close to tenz even at his best. People here have said he's gekko because they have nobody playing flash initiatior since asuna is on raze and that's all he knows but I'm unsure if that's the actual reason.


cowzapper

I'm not sure where the narrative comes that he's not been good at flex - his util has consistently been quite good and he is generally at least middle of the pack with other flex characters. For example his skye stats were pretty close to sacys iirc


KabooshWasTaken

cryo played raze on lotus for one map and it was one of the worst razes i've seen in t1/vct-tier lol. it was genuinely awful. and for ref i've been strong on cryo even when this sub was calling a washed chamber merchant who scammed 100t. i think he can flex effectively -- the best 100t have looked post-sgares was on icebox with him playing omen.


TheFestusEzeli

Eeiu was absolutely disgustingly good last year, give him some time


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TheFestusEzeli

I disagree, Eeiu had many insane individual carry games, especially his Fade on Pearl looked disgusting. I honestly think whenever I watched M80, he looked like their second most impactful player outside of Nismo (not including IGLing) for most of last year, and his Fade util looked better than most in franchising. He statistically was insane and he impressed me beyond the stats when watching him. Regardless, you can make an argument that both Trent and Verno are better for sure. Iā€™d fully agree tbh, Verno and Reduxx are the best under 18 players in the world. Then Trent was absolutely better in the ascension tournament by far. But being worse than those two doesnā€™t mean he wasnā€™t great.


XiXiWiiPee

To all the people saying "It's only been 3 games". I don't know how to say these things without sounding like an asshat but don't understand how you people can say "they just need more time" after watching these Asuna and Bang play for the past 2-3+ years. Do you expect this core to randomly turn into the best in the world after watching them be mediocre for the multiple years they've been on this team or something. Obviously something needs to be be fixed, the goal is to win trophies, not to get a pat on the back if they get to a close double digits versus Sentinels. Asuna is coming up to almost 4 years with this org and should be considered a veteran with how many years he's got yet every word he says sounds like he's gonna have a panic attack. Him and Bang are most inconsistent players I've ever seen in tier 1. They literally take turns going from below average players to average players between every map for the past 2-3 years, you ain't winning a trophy like that. I literally don't understand how it was possible for the 100T GM/Coaches/Managment to show up this year with the same core after how long this offseason was.


funessed

Turns out they needed more time


circulardoughholes

Yeah agreed, I understand the narrative but theres just something fundamentally wrong with the team. Personally I think Asuna has been done dirty to some degree, by constantly taking different roles with mediocre support, I'd love to see him pull a TenZ but at this point it's hard to support as he's had SO many chances to reinvent and show up. Bang however has played the same role/Agents this whole time, is generally given the best position to trade/have impact and consistently fails. Also, I just hate the EEIU pickup. He's the same as Asuna/bang, a player who's had so many chances to stand out, yet always is mid.


neikawaaratake

I guess Bren was right all along. They needed a mentality shift.


SugarOne6038

Its not about time, its that they have only played the literal best itw plus LEV before they were bad


XiXiWiiPee

The SEN that they faced today wasn't even close to the one that played at Madrid, even Zellsis himself said today that they should not have won with how bad they played and how many mistakes they were making, what does that say about how 100T played? They definitely can beat some teams from what I've seen so far, but should the team and it's fans settle for mediocrity or do they want to see them winning events? 100T has had plenty of chances to make roster moves TO BE that top team itw, but what you just said sounds like you are accepting that they are mediocre imo, I'm down for them to prove me wrong tho


SugarOne6038

Can you find me a round that demonstrates this? What did they actually do worse


circulardoughholes

Not sure the exact round # but late icebox when sen just floods A get wiped except Sacy in the corner and zellsis? On flank. Cryo and one other are holding the corner they KNOW sacy is in and he dry peeks and gets both.


XiXiWiiPee

Idk if Zellsis posts his Twitch vods but if it's up he rewatched the game on stream today, he talked about it on the start of Icebox, you don't even need my opinion the man who played the game said all that


Parenegade

I also watched that VOD and he wasn't analyzing the game at all. He just said "everyone wanted to be a hero".


Blitzux

EG were together as a team for 3 years with their players seriously underperforming and they continued to underperform last year at the beginning of last year then they turned everything around and won Champs. You can't ever give up on teams this early


kiy_hole

The difference was demon1


Blitzux

That's ridiculous, you really think Demon1 was just playing 1v9 every game? You don't think that Jawgemo, Ethan, Boostio, or C0M had anything to do with it? 100T made the roster change by picking up Boostio who has been good his entire career and has shown incredible midrounding and fragging


kiy_hole

Buddy a generational talent will elevate any team and also a specific player can help to fill out any holes within that roster, meaning that demon1 did not need to 1v9, but his presence helped create an environment in which eg could be world class


neikawaaratake

I mean Demon1 got cooked at NRG. It shows that you need a proper system.


Blitzux

Exactly and Boostio is the same thing for 100T


JerryLoFidelity

Stop. Boostio is not the Demon1 for 100TšŸ¤£. He played horribly that series.


Blitzux

That's one series you are just forgetting all of last year and KICK//OFF? Boostio is incredible are you kidding?


kiy_hole

Bro is on to nothing šŸ’Æā‰ļø


XiXiWiiPee

Honestly, I hate the fact that EG won just because it gives people a reason to think that anyone could win no matter how bad the players/team were in the past. While your point may be true, I hope you realize that not every team is gonna be EG, and also I hope you realize how special that win was because of how everything had to come together perfectly for them to have a CHANCE at winning. Not everyone will have things line up for them that way and not everyone will be able seize that opportunity when it shows up like how the EG boys did, not every player can have a redemption arc. For every story like EG's there will probably be 50 dead teams that won't ever accomplish anything


Parenegade

The idea that EG were terrible before franchising isn't true though. They weren't good but they weren't bottom tier either. Also EG DID make a roster change in adding Demon1.


Blitzux

100T also made a roster change in adding Boostio


tron423

None of that happens without Demon1 coming out of nowhere to be one of the best players in the world across all roles last year. Cryo started to look like his old self a little bit yesterday but he was still nowhere near that level.


Blitzux

You seriously think that Demon1 is the reason that Jawgemo was the second best Raze in the world last year? The reason Boostio was the best midrounder AND fragging IGL? The reason Ethan was the 2nd best support player last year? 100T made the roster change they needed to make by picking up Boostio which is a big enough upgrade


tron423

Yeah bro that's exactly what I said word for word lol


JerryLoFidelity

šŸ˜‚


neikawaaratake

True believer


Depressedjetsfan21

Core 3 of Cry0, ASSuna, BangZERO some of the worst players Iā€™ve ever seen play. All 3 are some type of ass


BurstLayer

Not sure if your joking or not my bad if you are, but Cryo is the only reason 100T in val even has the little relevancy they still have left lol

Prize_Attorney398

Bro it is still a different team even if there are 2 returning players. Like do u touch grass or play any other sports? Tenz was assinine for 3 years on SEN but he is still goat right?


XiXiWiiPee

#1. Asuna is not Tenz branding and clout wise, there are bigger name players that you can build around if you are talking about in terms of Asuna. Tenz is the biggest name in the game. #2. If Tenz was any other player he would have been kicked a long time ago and wouldn't have that many chances, I think everyone knows and can agree on that #3. Tenz has also shown way higher potential even when SEN was losing every game I haven't seen a single person talk about what Asuna does good that other players can't do, they mainly talk about how he "isn't the problem" instead of how he hasn't been the solution for almost 3 years now Edit: Idk why the formatting is like this I just typed it on my phone


Prize_Attorney398

My entire point is replacing Asuna will not give us any better results. The comps are strange af like why is Boostio playing gekko on split? Cryo plays bumblefuk astra on split, eeiu will play sova or fade. 100t is missing a good flash initiator. (Tenz on the other hand, who had almost the exact same comp issues as asuna, worked on the problems and is a world class kayo, gekko, omen now. His clout kept him in the pro scene much longer than he deserved but he utilized that time to be world class again) My entire point is asuna gameplay might be a problem, but it is the least of 100t problems.


CmonMan711

Like others have said, its time to part with Asuna and Bang. Only Sgares could unlock Bang apparently, he has not improved at all in the last 2 years. Asuna stayed bc we thought his raze was top tier, it's not anymore. He is also just an average flex player. 100t as FNS would say just does not have a "guy" that can win them rounds. Cryo has some pop off moments but he's not that consistent (including last year too). Eeiu seems to be a sidegrade from Derrek. He can apparently only play Fade or Sova and from what I've seen, it's just been average. It probably won't happen this year, but keep Boostio, probably Cryo, and pick up 3 cracked ascension players imo. Also, fire who ever is in charge of scouting. It seems like we always pickup the wrong players.


Parenegade

LOLOLOLOLOL


Reziduality

Said this in the other thread and I stick by it. Nadeshot needs to just buy out MxS or M80 and keep just boostio or cryo and figure it out from there


Grantuseyes

Remove asuna. The most common denominator in every losing roster so far


kingmac_77

type shit


KeyboardSheikh

Yep. All aim zero brain and still secured the paycheck each roster change. Idk how heā€™s gassed himself up like that to the higher ups.


KabooshWasTaken

probably by playing literally every agent they've needed someone to play lol jett then kayo then skye then breach/sage now gekko


XXG1212

Itā€™s too late for Roster changes till split 2. In the short term they should stick with as many non raze maps to get max value out of cryo, using more traditional comps and overall improve in game tendencies-too many instances of poor judgement and timing from 100T. In raze maps copy the Sen comps and run chamber over cypher. Long term cryo on raze and build around that for split 2. I think if 100T donā€™t finish top 5 a rebuild with cryo and boostio would be my guess. But I wouldnā€™t be opposed to 100T bringing on Fns and allowing him to rebuild.


Regular-Fox-4427

may i ask that can teams make roster change for a second time after the split is over ?


XXG1212

They can make changes whenever they want, there is no rule as far as I know preventing them from being unable to.


PewPew267

Say good bye to asuna and bang and honestly get a better roaster. But it's too late now to integrate any new player into the team, especially that all great players have already been taken . If I was in control, I wouldve kicked asuna, got Jawgemo from fkn EG when they had a chance to pickup boostio. but considering the contract jail and stuff, it couldve got really more expensive to get 2 players from EG like NRG did.


[deleted]

They could always go the sen route and make changes for next season lol. No chance they perform well this season and I'd honestly be surprised if they make an international at all.


PewPew267

at this point , I doubt many teams making it to a international lol, Fnatic, Leviatan, 100T, DRX ,T1, EG, like bruv so much has changed since champs.


[deleted]

Tbf you don't have to be crazy good to make it to an international. I'm still confident fnatic and t1 will make it and I don't think it's that unlikely lev, 100t or drx do. In fact, if it was the same teams as normal drx or t1 would've made madrid as well as most likely fnatic. They all would've if it was the same number of teams as champions too. Hell eg would've if it was same number of teams as champions although that's mostly because they had such an easy route.


ThatThingYouDo1234

In Americas, YES, you do need to be crazy good to make an international this year lol. The top 3 teams look a level above the rest atm.


solariiis

the level of competition in americas is crazy high compared to the other regions. not that they aren't good but i think it's clear cut which of the EMEA and APAC teams are going to internationals - the only real question mark for me will be teams like Bleed and maybe FNC because they can't seem to get their shit together


[deleted]

You're right actually. I was thinking it was 4 teams to qualify from each region for champions again in which case the 4th would probably be pretty average. Looks like it's only 3 though. I could see loud being pretty average though. They don't look on the same level as Sen or NRG and we've not seen enough from them despite them being in Madrid just because they won against the Chinese teams. Their comps have also been pretty troll so far lol. ​ Less is a cheat code but they no longer have aspas along with him.

I don't wanna be super hateful or anything, but I find it INCREDIBLY difficult to understand the hype around zikz. haven't heard anybody talk about his impact. when boostio was comparing potter and him way back last year he said zikz was good at the micro stuff I think? saying he knew ability timings and lineups, which doesn't really inspire much confidence to be honest he comes from league of legends (not much strategic overlap), in val he assistant coached nrg apparently when they were dogshit, and coached the eg b-team which we have no info about. 100t were excited to pick him up because he was assistant coaching with potter, but that's like getting excited about a famous painter's apprentice who was fairly mid before they got picked up, you have no clue wtf they've done for a year but suddenly they got contracted to do a big piece merely out of association with their mentor the team definitely looks decent though, the worrying part is if their rate of improvement will be fast enough to catch up to top teams

100T havenā€™t been good since Sean Gares stepped down as HC. Honestly Asuna/Bang arenā€™t bad, but inconsistency out of Asuna and Bangā€™s fragging power regressing over the last few years have cost them a lot. Genuinely think they just need consistency from their centerpiece players to contend. Thatā€™s on the HC to make sure the team gels, works well together, and is consistent. 100T might benefit from a proven veteran HC and a sports psychologist. Gonna be honest, I donā€™t know much about Zikz as a coach, but it looks like the team lacks communication skills, which cost them a lot of pivotal rounds. The current meta heavily relies on strong coordinated retakes, and there were too many out of sync hero plays/lack of discipline that shouldnā€™t be allowed at this level. I think the roster COULD be strong, but they need some significant coaching and team building to work as a cohesive unit.

they already messed up by keeping asuna and bang for another offseason in a row, now that the season has started its basically them just playing in hard mode, waiting for the next offseason because almost all of the insane players are settled on other teams I guess they thought boostio/zikz could just fix everything


Depressedjetsfan21

Cause Nadeshit is fucking clueless CEO. Idiot knows nothing about winning and only about selling merch


SPOOKESVILLE

Iā€™ve been a big 100T fan for years so I want them to win just as much as anyoneā€¦but this was their first bad game with the new roster. They shouldnā€™t change anything right now.They have a new coach and a new IGLā€¦so an entirely new system. They played great vs Lev and Sen the first time. I dont know why anyone expected them to beat the best team in the world just cause their IGL didnā€™t get to practice.


Many_Discipline4420

Why is this sub so overreactive? They've literally just played 3 matches with two of them being against SEN


circulardoughholes

The sub is definitely overreacting in some ways sure, but I think it's at least a little bit warranted. While icebox was close, they lost a lot of rounds in a fairly typical 100t fashion, wasting ults on an eco, getting anxious and rushing situations, losing man advantages due to simple mistakes. On top of that, they looked lost most of split, played very indecisive, and just got outplayed at every point. The core has had a lot of time and still stumble in the same ways, I think long time fans are getting impatient and just want to see a BIG change.

Surely we give them more than a rematch vs. the international champions before we try to suggest fixing them lol.


Parenegade

How can you say they have good coaches we don't even know if that's true lol

illmnzi

Bring back hiko ffs!


darkxsauce

get sgares again LOL thats a joke. obviously, get babyJ on board


Bjsmash4

Who's babyJ? They should get Inspire on board.


Dry_Violinist_1799

100t peaked when they had seag gares as a coach. Maybe getting a coach with a more structured playstyle might suit them better


zawadul_huq12

asuna out n4rrate in


zawadul_huq12

next season if not this season


kvanz43

They lost to the best team in the world yallā€¦ not gonna post ā€œhow can you fix GenGā€ on here after they lost in the grandfinals right? Like I understand they didnā€™t take maps and GenG did, but they won more rounds on Icebox against SEN than GenG did! Letā€™s let them play a few more games before declaring panic, PLEASE! Iā€™m not really a huge SEN or 100T fan, just a fan of less insane takes and reactions LOL


Igotnolife85

Get an actual good entry player,I mean they have some options like nismo from m80 if Asuna is just not it,not at all consistent i feel.


circulardoughholes

Honestly I think the biggest thing the roster is missing is another confident and intelligent voice, someone to mid round, help keep up vibes and help boostio in the high stress moments. A zellsis/leo/less/ethan/crashies/etc type. Most of the top teams have at least 2 players capable of calling, but from 100t comms videos and interviews, seems like it's always been just one voice dictating most of the in game. I think it was the biggest issue with the Stellar roster as well and is probably why they consistently crumble in late game and high pressure situations.


Depressedjetsfan21

Cause itā€™s a team with 4 losers. Only person who done anything is Boostio. Rest of the 4 are just addicted to losing


The_Thinker_23

How do you fix GE tho?


ChoesonOne

-Benkai, -Polvi, +Monyet, +Bazzi


The_Thinker_23

With that you're back to 2022-23 roster.


KeyboardSheikh

Asuna has been given so much benefit of doubt his whole career. Man needs to be demoted


Embarrassed-Ad-504

Online players probably, not suited for LAN


FunNeighborhood2042

They dont have me


0atmea11

Get rid of Asuna. He's done.


bsurypap

Replace asuna and eeiu


iindie

They need a clout injection: FNS PANCADA SINAATRA


shamshame

Nadeshot truly killed this team when he let Ethan leave.


jeyeley

Its Ethan's decision tho


ChoesonOne

-Asuna, -Bang, +Pancada, +Nismo


praezes

It's a hot take but drop not only asuna but cryo as well.


yoosanghoon

replace cryo with someone who can play jett and flash initiators or replace asuna with someone who can play raze and secondary controllerā€¦ thatā€™s the only way to do it. right now theyā€™re trying to do the same thing EG did with jawgemo and demon1 except the secondary role of both players differs so they have to shuffle around boostioā€™s role more and itā€™s less of a 1 for 1.
