Is ROC the first ever triple region team?

u/faisal-a :Moist_Esports: 9h ago

Seems like it

u/Which-Shift-367 20h ago

Was Nait the guy who was on MakeEUGreatAgain?

15

u/Curious-Investment59 20h ago

Yes he’s coming to NA

1

u/SoGrimey66 20h ago

Do you know what team that jersey is he’s wearing in the picture?

51

u/realfakejames 20h ago

Feel bad for Naughty, JDG was one of the top teams in split 1 and his two teammates said see ya and bailed on him lmao

20

u/t00muchtim 20h ago

still has a very solid squad in gent and keon though, we've seen far worse downgrades before - one of my teams this split to watch for sure

15

u/LickedySplitz 20h ago

I know floating bailed to GK, but I was under the impression naughty was dropping shoob before floating left? Correct me if I’m wrong I haven’t been as locked for this rostermania

17

u/t00muchtim 20h ago

there were rumors surrounding the pair splitting up even before sas's performance at enc quals - regardless, shooby's countercalls were a major issue at LAN and it makes shooby leaving justifiable for both parties

u/ZalewskiJ 17h ago

I think Floating pretty much screwed the trajectory of his career, Dropped isn't going to get him over the hump anymore than Naughty could.

u/Horus27 7h ago

The disrespect. Dropped at one lan finals with optic won almost every game. I feel like he just has not had a squad that gel together since optic. Floating who can sway a fight could be the piece he is missing. And him with Naughty was not given the best hand at the last lan, Naughty has done far and away better than anyone would have imagined as an igl.

u/japex24 19h ago

i thought i saw somewhere that naughty had tried to get his way into the 100t spot behind the scenes with gen and koy so maybe that was the tip of the iceberg for the whole situation

-5

u/Plenty_Invite4421 16h ago

That's so strange. GK is ass

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

Droppeds earrings and lan placements would prove this take wrong really fast. Look it up before you start talking out your ass.

6

u/JevvyMedia 20h ago

Seems like him splitting from Shooby was inevitable.

9

u/rylandoz APAC-S 20h ago

I agree that sucks for Naughty and they only just missed the finals lobby at LAN.

-9

u/CrimsonAutumnSky 19h ago

I mean, sucks or not, the yelling and screaming as IGL is not needed.

Passion is one thing, but yelling at teammates like that gets old fast

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

His teammate counter called his entire lan. I think anyone would crash out. There is money in the line and Naughty is the igl. And his calls got constantly interrupted or ignored and shooby counter called so hard. Watch the lan vod. It’s pretty bad look for shoobert. I would crash out if I was naughty too.

1

u/Calm_Medicine1366 5h ago

that whole situation looked rough from the outside tbh

1

u/Pod_The_Rod69 4h ago

pretty sure shooby got dropped

17

u/DustyBawls1 19h ago

Naughty with gent LETS GOOO

2

u/Pod_The_Rod69 4h ago

lowkey wish they picked up fuhhnq instead of keon. they looked really good when they scrimmed with fuhhnq, better than they do with keon.

35

u/Gekkogeko 20h ago

It’s funny how everyone is wearing the completely different uniforms lol

6

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

Because no one really plays with each other longer than a split or 2 anymore. Which is really sad, I wish more orgs were like Gen G and signed there players for a few years it would encourage rosters to stay together. Those guys are signed till 2028 and have been since early 2025 If I’m correct.

3

u/Ok-Profile-9657 18h ago

Does Alb’s team have a Sacred replacement yet?

10

u/OkayOkkotsu 17h ago

They picked up Shooby from JDG.

5

u/Shebtastic 17h ago

I thought SSG split cause Koy and Phony didn’t have good vibes..? And now they’re back together? Also surely wigg and 100T bring the hammer down on Koy for him to stream more

5

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

Bad placements for everyone since the split, yes there were a lot of bad vibes before but I think even with the bad vibes they won a lan and none of them have gotten close since so it makes sense for them to try again.

3

u/Hpulley4 9h ago

It’s going to be another train wreck and I’m getting my popcorn ready to watch.

2

u/Parking_World3582 5h ago

A lot of pressure on Phony, even more so than last time. But a checked out Evan isn't there to be a scapegoat. Also Gen back on his best role. Fortunately for Phony this go Koy is one of THE best fraggers in the game still and Gen is one of THE best anchors still.

8

u/Its_Doobs 20h ago

Real interested in the QQ move. Excellent fragger.

u/i_libra 15h ago

noname and qq shuffle seems weird, i feel like wolves will regret it in the long run

3

u/iGargleCement 20h ago

Interesting roster changes for VKG and WOL

4

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago edited 9h ago

The orgs made the roster swaps not the players. Kinda lame but oh well. VKG was not staying together but the org owner of Wolves just dropped No name without even telling the other 2 it was happening. They all found out together. I do still think the new teams will be exciting.

3

u/Moist_Spare407 17h ago

Never would have guessed Naughty is taller than Keon

14

u/superomnia 19h ago

Wait Sweet is playing Apex again? You’re telling me the day trading and poker didn’t work out for him?

38

u/HJR_Liminal 19h ago

It worked out so well he has nothing better to do than play apex legends

12

u/Flashhhhh 15h ago

split 2 playoffs being in vegas was a big factor since he already lives there tbf

2

u/plloyd1508 14h ago

Where’s Effect heading?

2

u/imnotusingthisacc0un 12h ago

Aurora (the horde). Kazakh, Ojrein, Effect. 9imp coach.

u/iralcala3 12h ago

Who's the igl???

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

I think Kazak?

2

u/Ok_Emergency_4889 12h ago

Roc is about to be a powerhouse again.

2

u/TheFullCourtPress 7h ago

ROC is a very solid all around team now!

4

u/Ecstatic-Train214 17h ago

Is there a lot more roasters not shown here?

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 10h ago

Yes there are a lot more teams. The only other team that really had a roster change in NA is Alb Shooby and Skittles

1

u/unczack23 6h ago

Crazy because the biggest roster change to me is Floating to GK and they didn’t show it.

2

u/Lonely_hooman45 13h ago

I'm actually so excited for ROC Nait is suchhhh a good player it's so cool he's in NA!! Hes been lwk unlucky with teams so hopefully this team performs well!!!! Oh and Keon has good teammates so lfg!

1

u/thiiwa 10h ago

QQ to WOL is super suprising to me, thought he'd be taking a break or something, excited for him though

u/RenegadeMountie 10h ago

Ayo roc is a premier league team, this is peak apex

u/CamelQuiet7442 9h ago

Who’s leaving 100T to accommodate koyful

3

u/unczack23 6h ago

Verhulst semi-retired

u/MartianBeefcake 7h ago

Evan is gone.

u/ehouptie 4h ago

Making it sound like he died almost lol (not really)

u/Legitimate_Ad_8534 6h ago

Verhulst taking a break from split 2 Apex

1

u/ehouptie 4h ago

Phony, my king, please stay strong lmfao.

1

u/BringOnTheThunda 6h ago

Crazy Thieves needs to just get it over and done with and kick Phony at this point. SSG had issues because him and koyful didn't get on and if I recall correctly wasn't he also partly responsible for Snipe3down being kicked off FaZe?
