I'm following the scene now for close to 6 months and I believe this is already the third but atleast the second big NA shuffle I'm witnessing. This is like CIS Dota. Barely new blood and always the old players shuffling in the hope that something works. Not sure what to expect out of this :D

Well if devilwalk is back into the pro scene shouldn't someone pick up Moses after he won that 1v1?
Old man cs lets go.
I care a lot less about this NA shuffle so far, unless c9, clg, or keyd join in I'm pretty nonplussed. At least it brought us LG Devilwalk.
|
So far here are the shuffles:
*Rush leaves Tempo Storm and goes back to Elevate. *Naf gets dropped by Luminosity. LG replaces him with Devilwalk *Elevate drops RooRoo. Will announce a fifth tomorrow.

Does anyone know why NAF was dropped? I thought he played really good the last ESEA season and he's pretty young too + he still has a lot of potential. And whats up with these timings, Luminosity? Dropping Hades right before ESEA lan and now NAF right before ESWC and CEVO?

Naf most likely going to elevate given that he's the best available player to replace rooroo

According to Pyth, it was a chemistry issue. https://www.facebook.com/pythofficial/posts/731168637012181

NAF is actually pretty decent and I wouldn't even say it's much of an upgrade with Devilwalk. It would have been a real improvement if it was LeX that was replaced.

NAF is a sick aimer but he's pretty bad at communicating. He suffers from the same issues Skadoodle does of going silent during key moments but he's not as good as skadoodle so teams keep dropping him.
Also , watching the POV's he seems to give up quite easily. That's just experience tho.

I love that the concept of experience can get so much credit in e-sport and sports in general. Him giving up easy will not be solved through him playing more games or more high profile games (win or lose). It's his approach to the performance of himself and his team. It will only be solved by a changed view of what he needs to succeed. Same goes with the lack of communication. They're all behaviours and mindsets that he needs to train.
In short: His kung fu is strong. But he lacks technique.
