How would you compare these two rosters player by player? I’ve tried to be as unbiased as possible and here is my assessment below:
TrqstMe = Polly.
Raajaro > Veswa.
Terra = Energy.
Jur3ky < Shpeediry.
Fate >>> Nero.
Lv1Crook = Cooper.
Oasis was one of the best players on TH in Preseason and gets dropped for their friend Ken = TH go from top 2 to failing to qualify for LAN.
Oasis was a huge strat upgrade on SEN and gets benched for their friend Karova = SEN finish 8th.
What an L for nepotism in rivals. When will these teams learn that good players are better than the power of friendship?
I’ve heard it’s to do with internal arguments but does anybody have any more specific information about why he’s not playing?
Aramori said on her stream it was to do with hero pool issues which HAS to be a deflection because Karova literally only plays Adam Warlock.
I believe this is the first time NAVI have taken on a coach since the Invitational in 2025. (PS they also have Pky as sub).
This photo just appeared on my Twitter timeline of the Sentinels MR team at Dreamhack. The person on the right is Oasis and he looks to be wearing Sentinels apparel. Glad he ended up on a decent squad.
Disappointing move for the health of the esports scene imo. Nepotism is alive and well in Rivals.
In no world did Ken’s performance with FlyQuest warrant him taking Oasis’ spot on the TH roster. But I guess his 2025 teammates Nzo, Tanuki and Alx decided to give Ken his spot once he realised he wasn’t making LAN if he stayed in NA.
Was watching NAVI fate’s stream earlier and pky came into his chat and asked fate to check his DMs. fate responded “yeah I’ve already submitted it”.
Sounds like pky might be headed to NAVI (presumably as a sub) to me?
Aramori was elected as one of four captains for a charity tournament whereby the premise is that there is no left click allowed. There were four teams in a round-robin style tournament. They lost their first game and also lost their second, and then Aramori withdrew. As a ‘for fun’ event, one of the games involved only being allowed to play melee characters. Aramori stated on stream that she withdrew because her team flamed her for not being able to play melee (I rewatched the game and didn’t hear the flaming but it could’ve been at other points before or after the game) and because it reminded her of a time where she was banned out against 100T and they lost the series because of it.
Hopefully Aramori can come back stronger for the next community tournament.
