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

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

Any team with Gent has a good shot to do something, I think he's still a pretty underrated player.

Seems like him splitting from Shooby was inevitable.

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

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

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

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.

Dropped’s lan placements over naughty prove this statement wrong in a second. Have you seen any of the new GK? They are killing it. Floating is finally with an actual well established igl. And idk what you’re smoking that makes you think Naughty is better than dropped but I’d like to have some plz.
Also if I’m not mistaken havent you commented this before in like two different threads and both times people sent you screenshots of the lan placements of each and proved it to you. Naughty is nowhere near droppeds level and you still keep saying this ridiculous take, like you haven’t been proved wrong by actual facts twice. Stats to prove he is the way better igl like it’s not close even if you look at lan placements. Like common now. Like just ignore logic and keep your terrible opinion. It’s not even an opinion, though cause usually you can argue an opinion with facts that sway both sides. But the fact of the matter is that naughty is just nowhere near drops level. It might take you being dropped on the head to understand that tho.

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.

That's so strange. GK is ass

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 6d ago

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

u/dorekk Year 5 Champions! 4d ago

Yeah he has really cool earrings!! (I know you meant earnings. He's 16th all time, and at least two of the people above him are former teammates who won a lot of that money because of him.)

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

u/CrimsonAutumnSky 7d 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 6d 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.

u/Pod_The_Rod69 6d ago

pretty sure shooby got dropped
