If a part of the investment group has a lot of money that doesn't mean Liquid as an entity have the same amount of money. As an example The owners of Newcastle United are Arab royalty and have a fortune of around 250 billions, that doesn't mean Newcastle united as an ENTITY have that money at their disposal. As you can see liquid are just recycling players in every single e-sport you can watch. What they can afford and what they are willing to invest are 2 separate things. The trust fund may be stacked, but the org itself not so much. More often than not sports businesses (teams) tend to function with self produced money and rarely get cash infusions from the outside.

Im not saying they need change (right know!) but if anything then he's the first one to go. Zywoo / magisk and dupreeh are safe and they wont find a better or good enough IGL to replace apex hence it's only misutaa left which even tho he has good games he's simlpy too inconsistent

apex was up to the task, but so were Ancient Egyptians when they've built pyramids. I do understand team needs time to make it work, I am just calling like I see it, danish duo is working hard and in comm videos you hear just how much they are working, zywoo is finding his groove with the language and misuta is solid af - ESPECIALLY when you take his role into account (bitch role of sorts). Apex is taking space and running out 24/7 like a headless fly. Also listening to their comm videos - he dies and them just keeps talking over everybody, repeating what they say and making it harder to work. I get this will need time regardless of him staying there or not, I just don't see it happening.

last time dupreeh played entry role was like 4 years ago. positions dupreeh and yekindar play rarely have overlaps

in their videos magisk and dupreeh are doing most of the calling. apex is the weakest link and has the lowest chance of all of ever improving, add mental instability to it.... I think it makes sense but agree to disagree, I mean, I'd be happy to be prooven wrong, but apex is throwing games as is. He's not just playing bad, that was throwing. Then he keeps talking while being dead, repeating what others say - that's how you make your team lose.

fact that Niko was a star does not mean he was not entry as he was the only one actively looking to open up rounds. He was star in that role cause he was so successful at it. Star role is more of a guy sitting in mid or in high contention areas trying to fight, playing 1000x more conservative than Niko did in his record breaking period. We are discussing semantics here cause when I say "entry" you only see a guy who charges first on an execute and for you that's that - a very limited view on what entry means as a word. Entry is whoever works towards opening rounds - if we were to follow your logic, jackz rushing in first after Niko got 2 opening kills still makes jackz an entry, even tho it's Niko who got 2 entry kills to his name and a significant boost to rating. I find that to be a very limited view to take on how roles are distributed. Statistically entry is 1-st duel in each round that results in a kill, executes come at 30 second mark or so - so it's impossible to limit "entry fragger" to those who yolo first in an execute as minute and a half has passed in the round and things have happened that impacted the round. Niko's best performance of his carrier, and the best hardcarry performance ever from any player happened when Niko was an entry, aka the guy opening rounds and actively seeking to kill or die trying. He carried G2 over 37 maps with positive rating, next one being s1mple with 31 maps, and best rifler being at like 11. It's historic performance in CSGO to have someone who plays such volatile role to do it with such inhuman level ofconsistency. Most of his rating during that period was entry and multikill, cause he died A LOT and if he was not a madlad entry he would not be anywhere near the rating that he had. Idea that Niko should not do that seems rather like an unreasonable proposal, great deal of ignorance must be included.

So my problem with Aleksi not playing much worse is this: right now he’s struggling as a rotator. So he always had some type of support/is supporting the anchor. Moving aleksi to anchor will isolate him soooo much and if his form doesn’t improve he is gonna get picked on A LOT when G2 is on CT.

Mostly aleksi thros flashes. If NiKo throws the flash its a suicidal push from aleksi, and he obviously rather ie than letting NiKo die, for obvious reasons. Aleksi only makes space in situations where Jackz would with Nexa, essentially when the odds of survival arent high He is doing mostly similar stuff. hat changes is that he no has an awper and a system arround him and the team, so he doesnt have to 2v5 every round with HuNter.
