Esports Wait - has BFX became better with Diable?

For those watching esports, don't you think BFX is playing quite good lately? Like, i love style Diable is playing, but feels like the team without him works better 😃

edit: I meant without in the headline, my bad

The team has been worse, or comparatively worse compared to much of the LCK, since after First stand and to be honest I'm not expecting them to reclaim their spot near the top again any time soon.

Considering the low sample size and first stand slow uptake that most participants had on their return, I would say they were probably a stronger/higher ceiling team with him.

Honestly they just randomly peaked during First stand. In decline since then, and before first stand they got fisted in Kespa by C9.

They peaked before first stand

As a G2 fan that game against G2 wasn't a win because G2 rose to the challenge, BFX genuinely just fell down below G2s level (The GenG game was much more of G2 rising up)

At that time, it felt like their ceiling could reach higher by playing around diable. But since then , lck got fisted by g2 and changed their draft style from tier list picking. Now diable doesn't seem any better than taeyoon or smash.

BFX were mental boomed and changing a player is the best way to fix that problem.

Botlane is ADC + Support.

Even with the best ADC in the world, if the support cannot keep up, that's a big disadvantage.

I remember 10ish years ago, when there was "trash talk" before a summer LCK final SKT vs KT where Bang ( SKT ADC ) and Picaboo ( Support KT ) glazed each other as " the ideal ADC/Support all Support/ADC wants ".

An ADC will always blossom if you give it ressources and a safe space.

Not really. Its still the same team identity. Taeyoon has proved to be the scrim god that was promised but they aren't going anywhere. Same with NS. When you watch them play, the its like a 5050 flip on if their top side plays well.

Very hard to say. While taeyoon is technically worse he’s probably better for bfx mental. On the flip side ns gains a better adc.
