My statement and thoughts behind it
Let me share some thoughts behind my
With my releasing of Zealots I applied to every team for a tank spot. After getting some tryouts in some teams I decided to give it a shot with Leftovers. Here I will write why:
1. Two of the leftovers players will go full-time for this phase. The best players in this team were studying in the same time but with me joining in we're going into full tryhard, which should give a lot of progress over time.
2. This team looked strong in the last phase. Being in crucible meant nothing since we saw a huge gap between Open Division and HGC.Pro and I think this gap will become even bigger and bigger. They almost took a series out of some teams and I will bring the experience and late-game shotcalling which is definitely needed to win more series!
3. Adrd was my mentor the whole last phase and with using the knowledge he gave me I will use it to colaborate with Bl3kitny (current Leftovers drafter and shotcaller) to create the team dynamics which will lead us to Western Clash, and eventually Blizzcon!
Team Goals:
1. Getting out of the Crucible
2. Qualifying for Western Clash
3. Qualifying for Blizzcon (Mission impossibru but trying never hurts LUL)
We start scrimming next week so we'll work things out and show the improvment, which is needed to start winning against better teams.
About me replacing Lauber: I think Lauber definitely deserved to stay in HGC but sometimes there're just unlucky circumstances. I believe he improved a lot and experience he gathered for the last phase will carry him over back here with winning every single OD Cup. I will root for him since I think it's sad to not see him in this phase.
There's no doubt that we need to spend a lot of hours to work things out but I deeply inside believe that might be the roster I can play with and qualify for upcoming LAN events.
At last but not the least I would like to give shoutout to adrd! It was a real pleasure playing with him, learning and sharing the experience of being a teammates. I hope our paths will cross soon(tm)!
