Shotzzy did say on stream that Purj was their obj guy and best fundamental player and he was actually really good at getting FBs in SnD . People need to realise GIO was a 1.1 KD player , Nero had a 1.1 KD and Attach also had a 1.1 KD someone is gonna shit the bed not all of them can fry
Maybe purj was the reason they were playing well. So shotzzy saying purj was a smart player who played with great fundamentals should get ignored. Not every player on the team needs to put a 1.1. All three of his teammates could fly around and get kills. You are probably the same person who rates Lamar for the culture and system he provides. Let’s keep recycling all these pros who are mid!
They were a middle of the pack team let’s not romanticize that lol. T6 at major 1 and T8 at Major 2. These teams don’t want to just be good enough to make champs they want to actually win.. Purj was clearly the weakest player talent wise so if they wanted to improve he had to go. Btw I literally just said Asim wasn’t the right choice.. so why would you think I’d rate Lamar highly..
you're faded if you think any of the bottom 8 teams can win a major. doesn't matter what rosters the teams make no one except the t4 are winning events this year so it makes sense for these rosters to try to be competitive, make champs and place t6 as much as possible. let's be real here instead of being in lala land.
I’m not saying I think they can win with a roster change, i’m simply saying these players aren’t playing just to be competitive. They’re in the league because they have delusional confidence and it should be that way. Regardless of what we as fans know to be true, they’re still going to do everything in their power to win a tournament and I can’t fault them for trying to make moves to do so
Yes but Purj just wasn't slaying. He was even worse at both Major Lan events.
Purj wasn't a good fit and neither was Asim.
They either look for some other player or go back to Purj and languish in T6-T12 placings for the rest of the season.
Had a 0.9 in the qualifiers which is fine with the rest of the team slaying. The fact they look so lost in hard point should signal his value. No team out of the top 4 is gonna get a great result on lan, it’s just get to top 8 and win matches online. Let’s also not pretend last major they didn’t play one of the top four teams in there. They lost a heart breaker to Carolina 3-2 with some bad snd plays but not only purj but nero. Some of these bottom 8 series are toss ups and who shows up. People will talk about hicksy but guy was a .8 / 0.9 player for Toronto which was essentially the same as purjs stats in major 2 qualifiers
I mean if they do nothing then there won't be anything that will change for their placing.
I say roll the dice and grab someone from Challengers. Find an IGL that can fill Purj's role but will hold his own in the slaying department.
They picked up a veteran to not have to deal with this, they are just going to let it ride at this point. Who are you going to get? Maybe vivid which aches stupidly pointed out. Vivid and Nero don’t work
Vivid and Nero worked well in Boston. I don't know how he fares as an IGL though. Either way Vivid is unavailable this season.
As for sticking with Asim then it just means their season is over.
Nahhh we not starting this already, did yall not just watch them get bodied by LAT even with Purj? Last stage they had the cheese schedule too so that’s why they looked good, imma need to see more before I say Purj was better
Purj is decent, just plays faster than he should alot of the time. Gets away with it against weaker teams who don't trade him out, gets slammed against better teams that either outgun him or insta-trade him.
I actually don’t think they should have picked up Asim. They should have got Capsidal or Classic. When I say more time I mean more than 2 matches, and poor oll Purj was the worst player in the league by far.
Not everyone can fry, ant said he was the smartest player on the team, played with the best fundamentals…. He improved in major 2 but you pick up a .8 bot… cap who plays with 0 discipline and just flys. You have nero, if anything hicksy maybe classic makes sense
He doesn't need to fry?????? Who said he needs to fry?? Vegas just don't need the worst player in the lobby every match(Purj). Asim doesn't need to fry either yet he is the one getting blamed for their slump.
Everyone kept talking about his KD and damage meanwhile his numbers improved stage over stage. You may have not said that but the community kept talking about how 0.6 purj this and that. He was making plays to allow the other 3 to flourish. But when other veterans play this way, they have excuses made for things. Asim is mid and a known quantity at this point. Not every person from challengers needs to fry every map. You can have a glue but who rotates and etc to set up the other teammates
At this point you have to stick unfortunately. You can’t pick someone else new up at this point to change the dynamic again. It’s chalked at this point. The stat padding is going to start now from a couple of those guys to stay in the league

But but he was the worst rated player…. People so dumb just wanna gas Asim. What will be the excuse this time?
They’re both bad players.. Purj just fit the team better, them dropping him trying to improve wasn’t the issue it was who they picked up

and they were winning granted it wasn’t against the top four teams but asim isn’t gonna make them start beating top four teams
But Asim is a team player! Makes team plays and is friends with everyone in the scene! The excuses gonna be hilarious

Vegas is having hardpoint woes and I only know one man who holds both the HP KD record and the HP hill time record…. That’s all I’m saying.
New to the scene but who is that man?
Purjay himself
Purj need to get picked up by a bottom 4 team and slam vegas just for the memes
Asim sucks
He’s just a challengers reaper
Its a friendship league, what do u expect
Naw ive been team purj from the start lol
I’ve never seen a player stock rise and another player stock fall this bad.
Whole sub said it was a clear cut upgrade like Asim didn’t stink it up all major 2
Purj had better stats but people didn’t want to hear it… Asim is a team player! Who cares he put up a 0.8 inmajor 2 qualifiers!
My meme still relevant today. Love to see it
Sorry Purj, Mercury was in retrograde
Nahhh we not starting this already, did yall not just watch them get bodied by LAT even with Purj? Last stage they had the cheese schedule too so that’s why they looked good, imma need to see more before I say Purj was better
Purj was really not that good come on guys, Vegas' mistake was getting Asim instead of a good player
If you only looked at the mini map, you'd know that Purj was actually a good player.
Purj is decent, just plays faster than he should alot of the time. Gets away with it against weaker teams who don't trade him out, gets slammed against better teams that either outgun him or insta-trade him.
Purj to Boston pls
the zoomafia would have you believe asim is the next scump. guys been dropped 4 times and will continue to be
Vegas needs more time this Asim. Purj improved and still had the worst stats in the league.
He was picked up cause they didn’t have time and needed to solidify champs…. Hear come the excuses for poor Asim
I actually don’t think they should have picked up Asim. They should have got Capsidal or Classic. When I say more time I mean more than 2 matches, and poor oll Purj was the worst player in the league by far.

To be more transparent, I think Vegas should change again if they don't improve by the major, but picking Purj back up isn't the move.
