G2 and ocelote has been baiting for g2 simple for some time. So all we can do is think whether this would work. Also, g2 has been dysfunctional since NiKo joined. Well, yes. they beat few teams in their honeymoon but that's it.
The player that would need to be benched for simple would probably be kennys due to his lack of rifle firepower and sorry but its not 2015 anymore, time to grab olofmeister and watch esports on the couch.
Also, you can't remove nexa (igl), niko (best player), hunter (same as niko, but less pew pew and less toxicity). Can't really remove amanek because a team wouldn't work without support players, AM I RIGHT FAZE FANS?
So:
- kennyS (inconsistent results), +s1mple (for 3mils or even more?)
Now you have the most toxic team but probably a team with most firepower in history of gamers.
We also know that simple would be the star player of g2 (niko fans malding rn).
Would NiKo's ego blow up for being the number 2 in team? Would a single simple's toxic word destroy Niko's calmness ? Isn't that the time to bring Jackz back then?
tell me mens what u thinkink
TLDR:
Would -kennys +simple work or not?
Is that even a question at this point, its just whether carlos can buy s1mple out or not

G2 the only top contender from EU in Worlds last year what I can barely remember. Why did they sold their midlaner? I think dude's insane.
Edited: mid or carry? I don't really follow league that much apologies
16 replies
I dont really watch league and i've only been keeping tabs on the situation because i like C9 but you are on the right track. Perkz and Caps are both midlaners but Perkz was forced into being the ADcarry because Caps was better at mid, Its sorta like two awpers being put on the same roster and one having to rifle. Perkz still want to midlane though because he is still a top 10 midlaner in the world which is pretty good considering that there are so many league teams so he moved to C9 to play his position.
I expect C9 to win the LCS this year and G2 to win the LEC both rosters are stacked with talent

Why's perkz so hyped if he isn't better than caps?
Is he also a washed up dude? Or is it pr something.

Because the difference is so small and individually Perkz could even be better than Caps in the future

I dont understand how a worse guy can be better in future is a way to hype a worse guy?
Anyways thank you
2 replies
Its a strange situation but Perkz also has other skills that people want like leadership skills. The difference really is small though, Perkz could beat caps and vice versa but caps could just do it more. And to add to that the LCS region is weaker in difficulty so he will most likely flatten them anyway

I guess leadership is needed everywhere.
Hope he performs very well in his usual role.

Btw Carlos is a dick to not sell him to fnatic who gave them this 5th guy.
4 replies
Yeah the new guy is fnatics botlaner and he was their best player as well, but he wanted to go to g2 cause they are better
its a bit of a dick move but also it makes sense it is a buisness and he wants to be the best, leauge is franchised so there is so so much more money in it than cs for the orgs and so winning means a lot more
3 replies
Okay
Idk how cs doesn't have much money for orgs but they still invest a lot?
2 replies
mainly sponsorships and stuff I think because winning isn't crazy money compared to other games, dota prize pool for the next t1 is going to be $50,000,000+ while we are boasting about having a 2 mil major, its largely cause valve dosent want to put time or effort into growing cs esports or franchising it to make money for the orgs because its such a self-sufficient game that they dont need to and it still makes money for them
1 reply
People say valve was could've made cs like dota but community preferred this way.
Anyways cs prize pool is growing and skin market is still probably biggest and growing so we can hope for more money in game.
G2 didnt buy perkz, he grew with them

Just read about the bargain dude's cost 10 or 5 million? Either both is damn huge! But I slightly doubt adding s1mple will turn the red light into a continuous green.
s1mple just re-signed with navi so he clearly doesnt want to leave
8 replies
CIS deals are always sketchy and carlos wouldn't be hinting at the deal unless it was close to happening. What I suspect happened was that NaVi probably got s1mple to resign one way or another so that when they sell him they can get a big buyout
7 replies
"NaVi probably got s1mple to resign one way or another"
s1mple signed contract for 1 year(before he re-signed it now). there is no way that navi would be able to force him to re-sign it if he didnt want to stay. s1mple seems like clever guy in this aspect(signed for only 1 year bcs he didnt want to be stucked in buy out hell) so im pretty sure that he has lawyer for those things
6 replies
This whole situation is weird, there is no way carlos didn't try and get s1mple before he resigned and we know how sketchy the CIS regions is for player contracts. My point is who knows what is going on there but there is definitely more than what they're showing
5 replies
yea i actually agree that there were some orgs that probably wanted to pick him and gave him some offers...but navi maybe gave him better offer with some kind of promise with new lineup in some time? who knows...but they surely had no way how to "force" him to re-sign

exactly
If they win everything along the way. The time is increased by 1s every first place. Major increases the time by 3s. Major second place decreases time by like 10s.
It would work for like a year at most. But every fail would lead to Niko and s1mple to literally kill each other. But Niko has hunter and Nexa on his side.
yes/no
Yes because you have one of the most mechanical players in the world on your team with a star rifler (who btw doesnt have such a big ego as you say, because he picked up igl himself and tries the best for his team, and he has his own cousin in the team and hes good friends with nexa) and s1mple isnt THAT toxic anymore, yes he is sometimes but everyone is.
no because i dont know if s1mple and kennyS have the same roles/position, and i also dont know if s1mple can just adapt to their playstyle
I dont see it working but there is potential to it maybe working

> 'who doesnt have such a big ego as you say'
He really has the biggest ego of everyone in cs scene. But he has the mechanical skills to back it up so at least that saves him from humiliation.
> 'because he picked up igl himself'
A nice way to make urself a victim if you lose. I also believe a small part of him becoming igl was due to him thinking that he can do it all, but yet again failing.
> 'tries the best for his team'
Yes he does. Yet he destroys teams. Mouz - dead, faze - dead, g2 - upcoming death
Thorin has some really nice rants about niko's big ego and this is the best one probably:

G2 shouldn't changed their lineup (nexa, kennyS, huNter-, JaCkZ, AmaNEk) at all.
Only problem their had was their mentality/psychology. Remember, how amazing was kennyS in the first half of 2020 year? But after G2 lost 3 grandfinals he became the worst player in the team. It's all because of problems with psychology and mentality.
They needed to hire a good psychologist, not to do a roster changes.
They added NiKo and kicked JaCkZ, what changed? Literally nothing, they're the same team who can easily tilt and give up like before. I should say that this problem became even worse because NiKo is one of the most tilting/raging pro player in tier1 scene.
4 replies
I think there is more firepower.
JaCkz wasn't as good on t side as he eas supposed to. And hunter dropped from his best performance level.
G2 isnt same. Hunter is worse atm than he was then and so Niko is compensating for that.
2 replies
"G2 isnt same. Hunter is worse atm than he was then and so Niko is compensating for that."
So, they're +- the same?
Anyway, they had a great firepower. huNter- played like a god, same with nexa and kennyS.
JaCkZ for was one of the best entry fraggers.
1 reply
Little better
But the thing is this roster has more potential.
Can't speak till LAN results come. Hope they get to finals here and perform better in next event.
No, their game doesnt need/want a pop off AWPer. They need a consistent AWPer, which Kenny can for sure be. Simple is 100 times better individually but it looks like their game is leaning towards playing around Niko and Hunter and then the AWPer as a support ( not a supportplayer like Amanek, more like helping the 2). I just dont think that Simple would fit that kind of role/system, he can probably do it, but who knows what happens when there is a gameplan that isnt structured around him.
Apart from that, if -Kenny would Malek stay? I know they are good friends and have a strong connection but idk if its that huge that Malek would go with Kenny.
IMO, correct me if im wrong

Support awping is what is holding him back.
Probably leave for Na I guess when s1mple comes.

Yep.
Cuz when he is support awping, he ends in lots of clutch and caught off.
They can share these duties for online era. Niko yesterday had 0 utility impact. I think kenny should rifle on t side maybe till LAN. And if awping look for ak in clutch.
Any of these solutions can work.
3 replies
I dont think ending in those situations dont catch him off that much, cuz apparently he can 1v5 Liquid according to Stew.
I´d give him Blast and maybe one more event to see where its really at. Cuz bringing in someone like Niko obviously changes a lot and maybe Kenny just needs a bit more time to adapt. Maybe im wrong and he isnt even support AWPing cuz early in 2020 the game was all about him and hunter....i think against Astralis we might see some good answers to the role issues.
2 replies
By caught off I mean with nade in hand and stuff like that.
While he really can play the role and he played that for full 2019, but in 2020(in online era) he had the worst clutch stats of his lifetime. Going -ve in 1v1s first time in career. I think he should stick to rifle till LAN comes.
1 reply
I like to think that malek is the 6th player of g2 and he is one of the parts that make g2 really be g2. So yeah, losing him with kenny would really hurt them.
What if g2 theoretically grab broky? He comes to mind when we are speaking about 'AWPer as support' as you say. He's also young and has a bright future.

Hahah fairs, idk if they would make a change again this early tho. They might just need more time to fit in every player exactly were they belong. I can imagine fitting in Niko, Hunter and Kenny all in the perfect roles, to get the most out of EVERYONE might be more difficult than we think.
Is he as good?
There hasn't been LAN so making assumptions on someone's performance doesn't make sense. Nobody knows who is gonna perform at what level next month.
2 replies
Well you can probably vaguely guess who's gonna be performing: Astralis, Vitality and add few random teams from top10
Imo he was the number 2 guy after niko in faze. In one moment, he had the most clutches won (probably 1x1, I don't remember to be honest). Small groups of people were starting to call him the next clutch minister (when xyp was in VACation). I really like the dude
1 reply
Wait for couple of months would be very helpful for orgs before making team changes.
I hope carlos does this and then disbands in 2 years.
That would be so good
Idk why are G2 even in cs? Made superteam without IGL. Picked tier 2 players from france (when ZywOo was available) and then from Serbia expecting to be top 1.
They're without support and have relegated AWPer to support.
In this case if they pick s1mple, I would be very happy to see carlos cry in future.
Btw since NiKo has arrived kennyS had much better performance than huNter and he's better LAN, big event player.

Electronic would play with S1mple at any day
S1mple can fix G2, but this is not the only one option. Great skill is of course not bad, but CS is a team play. To win a major, to dominance, you shouldn't buy s1mple or ZywOo. Dominance and major title are discipline, tactical prepearing, goot team atmosphere, and the working together, where all players should play on the one level, where each player should be a part of the team, don't start to play 1x9 or something like that.

Kenny is a mid round support player in g2 if you have knowledge about roles in CS. I dont think s1mple would like to do the dirty work. That would put all the pressure on AmaneK and he would have bad stats and then a thread would appear from someone like you - "Would Twistzz fix g2 ?".
3 replies
2 replies
Dirty work means supporting the star players of the team by throwing flashes. In g2, kenny goes for opening kills based on spawn and then he sets up hunter and niko to create space for the team in mid rounds.
You think s1mple would do all this stuff. More like he would need another player for doing all this for him and as a bait. I mean, s1mple is great player but he is a star player not a support AWP. If g2 want to still replace kenny, then they can go for AWPers like broky.
1 reply
that's true, simple wouldn't like to do that. How about hunter going for more of a support role, helping niko and simple to destroy two sides of the map?
When I start to think of amanek supporting simple, it comes to me that french and cis are never going to happen probably, eh?
2 replies
Choko and s0mple would be battle of the ages I mean egos
I dont think s1mple will leave Na`Vi for G2.
NiKo is washed up. His addition has made G2 worse.
Though if G2 can afford simple & elec both, then maybe its a good move. -kennyS -hunter +s1mple +elec, or if NiKo dont want his cousin to be benched, then maybe they could remove AmaNek and give his shitty roles to Hunter -- now maybe that can work..
because I think G2 is still not a major-winning lineup. They are 2-3 roster moves away from that.. simple and elec move can maybe make them one..

a great example (obviously different sport, different rules, but) would be James Harden trade from rockets. He demanded a traded and Rockets traded him because he did so much for that team. I think it's almost the same situation here: if simple demanded a trade, they would trade him.
As far as I know, cis contracts are sketchy (once again, this contract was for a lot of money, so maybe not so sketchy after all) and as far as I know you can trade players while they are in contract
