If I recall properly, it isn't anything about Black's hero pool or mechanics. He is top tier.

But rumour is, VG is looking for someone with very sharp late game decision making.

Honestly, try to recall games where Black carried VG back from a deficit. It's easy to look good when your team sets up your success.

With how VG have been performing so far they would be crazy to replace anyone.
If anything whenever VG loses its because of bad team calls out drafts, not because of individual plays.

all of those answers still sound like the loser is responsible for losing

i mean it seems all the answers agree that it's a different kind of responsibility for being outclassed vs for under-performing relative to how strong one seems at the time

Black performs better on AM, TB heroes like that, his Jug, Troll or other heroes in the meta have been mediocre.

Same could be said for Secret a month ago.

But remember, these teams want to win TI5. Not be top 3.

Who is good enough to replace black in the first place?

They are mad if they kick Black.

Fly was clearly not top tier enough that it makes perfect sense to replace him. And RTZ is good enough that they decided to make changes to the roster.

If 430 decides to join Vici, I think I would gladly kick Black or Super.

Now this is the most sensible reason.

But the question is, who to replace Black ?? If VG cannot find replacement, releasing him will be suicidal move

idk man. Burning's gonna be on the market after CNY I heard. Either IG or VG is getting him.

LaNm could play carry and call the shots late game which is something Black can't do.

China is not lacking carries actually. Getting someone slightly less mechanically skilled but who can communicate well and lead the team would greatly benefit VG imo.

Very highly likely. Burning confirmed on stream that he was very interested in going competitive if the 'right' team comes up.

imo skill-wise is not problem but you know it's hard to make a call in team-fight or some set-up
when one of their player don't speak the same language as other

i keep saying this, but it seems contracts often don't line up with when teams start to want to shuffle... explaining the whole retirement -> bg stunt by xiao8, lanm, and burning while they were supposed to still be bound to their previous teams... seemed lanm and burning wanted to keep playing, just not with the DK roster

Anyway, if Black is released from VG, he would be snapped up by any Eastern/Western team quickly.
