Fnatic is going to have to rebuild completely, that's such a big loss. The fact that they couldn't grab Perkz is just icing on the top for G2.

Its honestly super shitty that G2 froze FNC out and wouldn't let them talk to Perkz but because Rekkles happened to be at the end of his contract FNC couldn't do the same. If the agreement was a swap it would feel less shitty, but that's the way the world works.

Also TSM SwordArt is in jeopardy as US/China relations may fuck over his contract. If the deal falls through DoubleLift might not play, ruining the EG Huni and EG Lost deals

I kind of hope it does fall through so Parth loses his fucking job.

The last time Rekkles left Fnatic to replace a midlaner playing adc on a super team it went really well

Nice to see new talent being given a chance. Unlike a certain other region...

FNC Upset doesn't sound too bad either, the question is whether the team will be on the same page, unlike this year. Upset is super talented, all you have to do is watch his stream to understand how hard he dumpsters 99% of EUW soloQ. Lots of people on Reddit think he's failed talent just because he was on that awful OG roster. Don't like his whiny personality though.

Best chance for EU to win Worlds so far, if they implode it would be a tragedy.

My guess is that Perkz had to decide between wanting to play mid, and being on a team that could potentially win Worlds. The C9 offer gives him the former, and the roster is shaping up to be one of the best in NA history.

7 figure pay cut sounds crazy, until you remember that Perkz was probably being paid millions on G2 anyway. It's not like he went from 1.5 million to 500k, he's already set for life, and C9 wants to make him a franchise player so he's going to be raking in cash for a few more years.

But why would Perkz take a pay cut if it was G2 who "sold" him to C9? I mean he had a contract with G2 and that's why he couldn't go to Fnatic, why would he agree to "renew" his contract on worse terms with C9?

I have doubts about that statement. I think it's something that might be technically correct but is purposely omitting other details like potential income not included in the salary.
