I think they wouldn't let go of Miracle for Ammar if the former hasn't decided to step off the active roster for a bit. They'd value Miracle more than ATF at this point and if NGX had a choice, they'd surely keep Miracle in the roster. What I'm worrying about is Kuro. The man has very little hero pool, very predictable hero drafts, and an overall lost sense of the previous metas as shown in the previous tournaments/matches. He's no longer on par with Puppey when it comes to drafting and being a pos 5 strategist actively playing for a team. His passion is there but his game sense isn't. which is just sad but understandable since he's getting really old.
I bet to differ about kuro having low hero pool, in fact, for the past TIs he's got the record of having the
most played for different heroes. Most heroes played, on what efficacy anyway? Most of the heroes that he's played on a high level, he hasn't been very effective with save for the Enchantress that everyone and their mother knows how to use and knows how to dominate lanes with. Also, even when he's not using Enchantress, a support known to transition to a core somewhat in mid - late game, he's hogging the relatively safer farms on the map when it's supposed to be taken over by their 4 or their offlane. Game-sense wise and draft-wise, the dude's already falling off. It's not enough that you play many heroes in the big stage, the question is how well and effective you play those for them to be considered a hero in your hero pool.
But I do get that he's on a different level now, not that positive level and I agree to you that he shouldn't be playing anymore. He's better to switch into coaching rather than playing.
There are other talented players that can play for him as a pos 5 but can't deny and argue about his experience. However, a change and push for him is a must if they want to see the team thrive.
I also believe Kuro has to switch his role at this point of his career. He should either manage his own team or become a coach. He is already 30 years old, and his mechanical skill will get slower and will not be able to compete against young players. Those young players will outplay him at this point in his career. His experience and knowledge of the game will best serve him if he uses it as a coach or team manager or owner. He should let the young ones play for his position and just train them.
Exactly. Even Fear, one of the most mechanically gifted carry to ever play the game recognized that he's getting old, and after their win in 2015, he knew that his time playing this game professionally in a serious level is over, and he stepped down and began exploring coaching options for EG and some other teams. There are some stints of him still playing professionally but without success, and once he recognized that he stepped down and began being an analyst/coach for some teams and that's where he shines right now. Hopefully Kuro recognizes this and starts leaning towards just coaching the team and letting other young talent play and hopefully hone their skills and talents.
As for a comparison between them I think XANTARES is one step ahead. He is like a beast really. Years are coming and going but XANTARES is still able to maintain his quality. Everyone knows "XANTARES peek" very well, right? So I think he is the best rifler as well currently. s1mple seems like he has lost a little from his skills recently but he is still such an amazing player of course. But in time, I think m0nesy has the potential to leave s1mple behind as an AWPer in the future. m0nesy has been under the spotlight for some time too as you know.
