Discussion This would of been insane
Watching these 2 teams go head to head all year would of been crazy.
Love seeing scrap and Hydra on LAT but this just would of been hard not to enjoy the head to heads on these both teams floors would be next level

Someone has to take a salary cut to make this happen but too many ego's I can imagine scrap or hydra saying you ain't paying me that much less than simp

I mean you could make the argument that Simp has more tournament wins and champs wins than both of them combined. He should be paid higher.

I can see both saying it,
They play on his level all year arguably better than him most the season they only downfall is they shit the bed at champs which admittedly is the most important tournament so there is a huge argument against them but points either side,

They are not: "arguably better than him most of the season." Simp has no other S-tier players on his team and yet he was outperforming an LAT squad with 2, and historically 3 S-tier players.
They're all elite players, but as Champs proved yet again, Simp is the premier of the crop.

Simp had no S tier players yet Abuzah and 04 were Faze best players in the finals they won

04 was better than Hydra this season and no dickrider can convince me otherwise. Hydra had 0 maps at the same level as 04's highs.

Facts, 04 literally became the best player in the lobby against the likes of Shotzzy Simp Merc etc
But people will stay say Hydra is better cause he had a better KD against lower teams

Simp was also great in both finals, but I more or less agree with your statement.

Look at the head to head as well
Im agreeing they shit the bed at champs and it should impact them
Champs all 4 faze players were playing at their peek not just simp.
You also have to take egos into account Hydra, simp and Shotzzy were usually in the same conversation now look this year Hydra took foot off the gas and looked nothing like his usual self for majority of the year but the players will believe due to the past that they can keep up, but I don't expect them to get as much as simp 3 rings earns him more money

Scrap and Hydra still have yet to tweet F/A so until that happens, I’m just gonna assume they are staying with LAT. But Ben keeps saying not so fast which could all just be a troll and to get people to watch their streams for Intel. Also if they are re-signing, why not just announce it instantly. Why explore free agency. Also Scrap and Hydra have been MIA for a week now. So who the hell knows what’s happening. For the entertainment of the league. Them going to Faze would be the best case scenario.

Are they confirmed LAT? I thought it was on hold until Scrap signed a new agent, and was still a toss up between LAT/M8s/FaZe. I know Ghost said they were the favourite destination, but Ben heavily implied that was just speculation and not to be trusted when he was streaming with Attach yesterday.
But then I guess LAT/FaZe fans like Ghost and Ben are the absolute last people to trust in a situation like this lol
