all right guys how to grow back again
today I hope you’re all doing well and
enjoying your day so far welcome back to
valid roster menu and it is certainly
not over just yet Shazam is released
from synthols at Seamus based in a tweet
last night or at least inducted it into
their Hall of Fame but he doesn’t seem
so happy about it and Marv also giving
his perspective on the fact that he
could join Evil Geniuses but would much
rather not very much Intuit your
thoughts in the comment section below
hit the like button if you enjoy
subscribe if you’re new as always I’d
greatly appreciate it really helps out
the channel thank you very much indeed
for doing that well many people have
been trying to figure out where the
harbor could be viable this is one
interesting way to potentially use his
smoke because obviously um you can’t
shoot through it right it kind of Tanks
bullets so if you use it in certain
positions you can actually use it kind
of like as a head glitch right so you
can actually kind of use it as cover
here so I thought that was an
interesting potential use of this going
forward this though former Leviathan
confirming that mazino will be a new
player for their roster so yeah
definitely a good pickup we’ve heard a
lot of these things rumored over the
last several days but yeah indeed
Messina be joining Leviathan as we
expected this update also from Excel
they have decided not to continue with
their valorant roster so um they’re not
going to do tier two this is a big
question which is going around right now
in terms of teams that failed to make it
into Partnerships will they actually
stick around in tier two some will some
probably won’t of course phase the guard
version one TSM we think that they will
but um in Europe let’s say teams like
Excel they’re going to be pulling up
they’re not going to do tier 2 values
the interesting thing is they’re going
to do Game Changers about it they’re
keeping their game changers team which
is um it’s really interesting to me the
fact that these teams would much rather
have a game changers team than even have
a tier 2 team I guess the way that riots
got it set up makes it feel to them like
there’s more upside than having the game
changers team than having the tier 2
squads but um yeah it’s very interesting
to me that a lot of teams are actually
doing this now they’re quite happy with
their game changers roster but they’d
much rather not go for the tier 2 routes
and try and think of a player that way
so yeah they will be competing in Game
Changers but not actually in um you know
in the tier 2 valancing in Ascension
trying to make it into tier one so quite
interesting that some organizations
might be feeling like this and Excel
certainly are one of them this also from
Heretics Lowell is going to be on his
way out to the team mixwell of course
joining that’s raised big questions as
to exactly what heritage you can plan to
do for their full roster and um yeah
Lowell apparently is going to be on the
way out as well confirmed in this twit
longer last night this just to say for
MC split as well he points this out to
me that um there’s this Knights Tawny
coming up soon and in group M you can
actually see that Stewie 2K is playing
in this with Rossi so some questions
here on what’s going to happen with
stewie2k what his plan is going to be I
think I’m himself and even shroud kind
of said you know what if they can get a
tier one spot they’ll go for it but
that’s not gonna happen to be honest
right because there were so many players
that have dominated at times in um in
the VCT over the past year or two that
aren’t going to get in let alone players
you know like Stewie and trout that
haven’t really done that much at this
level in valorence and that will have to
prove themselves over time so yeah
stewie2k you’re gonna try and compete
though what is it look like for him in
terms of tier two Ascension and what
spot will he get that’s why rostamania
is far from over because yes we might
have a relatively good idea what’s
happening in tier one but tier two it’s
all yet to kick off really and we don’t
know the Shroud the stewie2k questions
that are still out there and speaking of
some of those great players this is a
list that George get us put together of
course not all encompassing there’s
other players you could throw into the
mix here as well in terms of you know
guys like Penny or whatever that might
be getting under eight years but just
look at this list Trent valentextnet
Jonah EU zombs Dapper Shazam baby bay
bcj marved Xander whippy all of these
names May well not be on a partner team
next season we know that Marv is going
to take a break it seems from that side
of things to me like I mean which names
would you guys pick out of this in terms
of like real the guys that you’ll
surprise don’t get a spot and guys that
deserve a spot that won’t have one to me
I think trents comes to mind to be
perfectly honest I’m very much surprised
that he wasn’t getting picked up I think
that I’m you know in my opinion they
were players that likes of you know cryo
and zeken and these guys some exit and I
honestly thought that Trenton the guard
was not too far behind in terms of that
category and I’m very surprised he’s not
going to Spot somewhere Valen probably
his ideal is getting somewhat underrated
and then they’ve got the former synthols
call you know zom’s Dapper Shazam you’d
have thought that maybe Dapper for
example would have got a spot somewhere
even bcj I think certainly deserved one
somewhere but now seems like that’s not
gonna happen unless he can still join EG
but that looks unlikely because Ethan’s
gonna be there potentially Superman’s
gonna be there bcj might end up joining
TSM or something on their kind of tier 2
Ascension roster so yeah crazy situation
but yeah Shazam of course baby bay even
as well he had a baby bay dicey like um
wasn’t included here also bee dog and
the like from Shopify Rebellion these
type of players that are so good in
their respective roles not getting
picked up so you could very much argue
that the tier one scene in North America
is well incredibly stacked in terms of
some of the players that are in the in
these teams let’s say but also what does
this mean for tier two because I think
honestly the Ascension league in North
America is going to be crazy sacked
especially if these players plan to and
decide to compete if there are
organization to support them because I
mean look a lot of these old Sentinels
guys could form a team and run it back
to a certain extent and we’ll see what
Shazam has to say on stuff like that
here in a second even zipper though says
from Cloud9 I only see a handful who
deserve it right so yeah definitely
treat your thoughts on which out of
those names actually do deserve it he
reckons maybe even four or five and
what’s a hand for the right three four
five of those guys he reckons actually
do deserve a spot and um you can
probably imagine which players he might
think to be excluding from that
particular list this also from bcj Brick
by Brick I’ve been Paving my path back
to the top you think I’m gonna stop now
that I’m here so you know Brick by Brick
of course is Optics thing but um like
optic also a big question for them we
don’t know are they going to be a tier 2
team are they going to be in Ascension
we don’t know we don’t have an
announcement they don’t have a game
changers team or anything they might
just say you know what riots you know
I’ve had enough of this I’m getting out
of it but they could build a very
competitive tier 2 roster with the
players out there if they wanted to but
of course they’ve lost a lot of their
Staffing around the team because they’ve
gone into tier one so yeah difficult for
a lot of these organizations we think BC
J potentially to TSM as I said that was
one of the rumors that was going around
yesterday now this from thrifo he was
meant to be joining T1 and while staying
in their roster going into the new
season but due to the import situation
they couldn’t make it happen thrifo is
instead going to be joining a team as a
substitute and he’s going to go to NRG
according to George garez NRG is set to
sign thrifo to The Valor and roster he’s
going to be the sixth man really
interesting stuff all these teams have
to confirm a sixth man for the team in
due course we know the NRG are going to
be well some Victor crashes FNS an
artist that’s the team of five yet to be
confirmed thwifo the Sixth Man over
there that is the present rumor like I’m
interesting stuff for sure I didn’t
really have thrifi in my mind in that
conversation but um yeah kind of crazy
the fact that thrifo was a name that I
wasn’t really thinking about too much
and yet he’s gonna get a six-man spot
but yet a lot of these other players
like you know where are they gonna be
what are they gonna do that we just
mentioned right and also can thrifo play
in Ascension can he play in tier two
despite being a substitute right you
kind of need right to allow that to be a
possibility because if you’re Trent or
something like do you want to be a sum
for a team if you can’t play in tier two
you probably don’t now one of the big
things that was confirmed yesterday here
by sintel so of course it was a little
bit ago now they confirmed that Shazam
is not going to be part of their team
going forwards I guess um he’s still
part of sentos to some degree but um
they say right here the centaurs Hall of
Fame Shazam under your leadership we
became Champions you change the way the
game is played you brought Pride back to
North American Esports wherever you go
your legacy will always be a part of
this team once the center always a
center they come up with this right here
so kind of nice Hall of Fame Shazam
in-game leader International Champion so
just giving credit to what Shazam did
for the team but of course over time it
was clear that he you know his tenure as
igl was going to come to an end a little
bit interesting to me the way that they
say like um you know wherever you go
your legacy will always be a part kind
of saying like you know goodbye it’s
been nice having you and off you go to
your new organization now whether that
is actually happening here like it’s not
like they’ve officially released him or
anything but um you know I guess they’re
expecting Shazam to go to a new team or
to a tier 2 roster or something maybe he
will maybe he won’t I don’t really know
but I just wanted to share his reaction
to this because he um he didn’t quite
seem particularly happy about it right
he was looking at this thinking oh wow
yeah I’m a Hall of Famer real nice guys
like thanks for dropping me type thing
so I don’t know do you think that this
attitude has anything to do with the
fact that he no longer actually has a
spot on the team or is it more about you
know that competitive nature is
necessary if you want to be the best in
the world
check Twitter really oh my God okay I’ll
check it out
that’s crazy wow how unfortunate
guys that just became a Hall of Famer
what do you think yeah I did see that
thank you thank you very much thank you
very much
thank you bro appreciate you cook go
into tier two probably not
unless
a tier two team lets me play from home
and they pay me a good amount I’ll play
sure and it depends what the roster is I
could have gained a lot more followers
if you guys know what that means too I
could have joined probably the worst
team in the league if you don’t know
what that means too the other clip that
I shared there was unmarked right
talking about his decisions and what
he’s deciding to do going forwards and
also kind of saying towards the end
there about Evil Geniuses and the fact
that well yeah he could join the worst
team in in the franchise league if he
wanted to probably but would prefer not
to do that try to even said a while ago
like he’s not gonna join EG so I know
some of you guys have been saying is
this whole I’m gonna take a break thing
more about saving face is it more about
trying to you know maybe he had offers
and now he doesn’t have offers anymore
now he’s like well you know I’m taking a
break it’s my personal decision to do
that rather than the fact that yeah he
probably would have gone to Center laws
if that offer was still there maybe he
wanted more money maybe he wanted to
take some time to think that’s what
people have been theorizing and then the
spot disappears when they got the
Brazilian guys in from loud instead so
whether there’s anything alluded to that
I don’t really know but Marv also says
tier two he probably won’t do it unless
you can stay at home so you know he’s
committed to this kind of idea that yeah
he wants to stick around his family take
care of whatever he’s going to take care
of personally and then he’s going to be
good to go once again in due course so I
think that’s good stuff for Marv happy
to see that you know he’s making this
decision for himself but at the same
time that probably means no tier 2 for
Marvel unless of course A Team allows
him to stay where he is and play online
rather than having to travel out to LA
or wherever that might be so does that
mean Mart is indeed gonna take at least
an entire season’s break will he be back
in due course tough to say and as we did
discuss sentells quickly just wanted to
mention this because the second says
please stop asking about the language
barrier we communicate with sign
language so lots of stuff happening and
coming out from the centers Camp the
last couple of days where yes they
reckon the comms are going to be
absolutely fine pankada’s English does
you know it’s operable but um you know
he’s not so confident in using it in
videos and stuff like this it is the
present situation and Sassy I’m sure
will be a big help on that front as well
and look the organization obviously has
confidence their communication will be
fine but um still it is a big question
because this happens with other teams in
the past as well you get players in many
different countries different cultures
and how well things clash and work and
work together and deaf is going to have
I think a big job here is the igl so one
of the key questions about centers
they’re obviously shooting it down here
with these couple of tweets and I’m like
there’s a long time until the franchise
League begins but very much enjoys your
