      I’m inclined to agree with you. But it’s not like the Navi players or org are dumb, they obviously know better than us. For aleksi’s sake I hope they are competitive cause his career could really use a W.

      It feels like they couldn’t find anyone to replace npl, saw that NiP benched theirs, and jumped at the opportunity.

      Replacing buster and nafany, I assume? That’s a scary roster, would be a great move for them.

    I think the roster is really strange. Maybe a culture shift was needed, but this just feels like they wanted to secure the bag with elec/perf and not shell out much for the others

    I’m happy that iM and jL are getting their chances at a top team, but I’m still kind of skeptical of Aleksib. On one hand they desperately needed an IGL, but on the other hand he doesn’t have the best record for someone who played with G2 and NIP. I’m going to withhold judgement until a few tournaments, but if he can’t win with the amount of firepower on this new NaVi roster then questions need to be asked.

      Yeah agreed. There are a lot of reasons why an IGL might not work for a given group, but how many chances does someone get before they need to re-prove themselves in T2?
