Lol they really are the TL rejects. Though I suppose they are also the Col rejects as well. Either way they are playing well right now. Still have to wait for the Narvi game but till then I'm excited.

LD flair for SNA when?

If you have the chance to check out Fluff's stream I would recommend it by the way. He interacts really well with stream chat and he always is answering questions about the game and his thoughts. Also you learn how to do crazy things like chain pulling radiant hard camp directly to the easy camp with windranger as well as a lot about support play in general. Also he's one of the few streamers that will play support in their public games and he shows you how to have an impact in games as support.

EDIT: Also on stream Fluff said that they were in talks with sponsors, but were not considering Liquid. He won't get into it, but he doesn't want to go back to them. Not really surprising though considering that him, Mike and Wayto were all kicked from the team at one point or another.

There are reasons for them been kicked and we all know them.
It is good that Liquid isn't gonna sign these 3 people again.

Also i don't think interacting with viewers makes anything worth while if you don't win even some medicore lans/online tournaments.

Lets be honest SNA don't really have much chance against 95% of the now considered tier 1 teams.
I do wish them the best of luck tough and to whom ever decides to pick them.

No one's talking about that win over EG? That showed shades of Liquid/LGD from TI3.

Indeed. I was expecting this here as well. That game was something.

They did it with whitebeard as well. Makes me think that wayto was just a standin for a while. Kinda glad that it is back to whitebeard though. Fluff and him have pretty good synergy and they play well together. I always felt that Fluff and Wayto didn't work correctly.

I think whitebeard is the only question out of that group, but he has shown solid improvement over the past year. I think TC and/or USH could potentially be poached if they don't get a sponsor and a sponsored team wants one of them. TC's still getting liquid money but that runs out soon iirc

One of the most underrated things about supports is how well they synergize with the other support. Whiteboard and Fluff work very well together and their hero pools compliment each other nicely. I think that they should keep it as is.

As for players getting poached I doubt that any of them are going to leave an 'established' team to join up with relative unknowns. More likely sna gets a sponsor. I think they are just waiting for the right deal to come along.

Yeah I don't see them leaving for unknown players on a non-sponsored team, but if say NarVi decide they want USH to replace braxx; hard to say no to the paycheck. Kid's been getting better and better, his games today reminded me of TC playing carry.

I agree about support play though, wayto and fluff never meshed well

Whitebeard is so much better as support than wayto, mainly because wayto feels like he only moonlights as support (see his stream, all he plays are carries). WB is more dedicated, and is a bigger playmaker. Him, ush and tc are this teams biggest assets. They can surprise a lot of people in esl ny if their opponents sleep on them.

Looking dominant against NaVi.US! Looks like they either figured out their old rival or that team is just crumbling with internal issues.

Part of both IMO. TC being added to the team as well as Navi US kind of falling apart.

TC's been on the team all season, though. Looks like wayto's officially on NaVi.US, so yeah they're big time falling apart.

Doesn't really matter though. They're going to Bucharest! SNA world tour.

I'm saying that since TC has been playing with them they've been slowly getting better.

Really though it was Whitebeard playing consistently that has made the most difference. Whitebeard and Fluff are really clicking in matches together.
