    I’m not a fan of FNC, but I still wouldn’t mind seeing perkz on it just from an entertainment standpoint, I think the G2 vs FNC games will be so much fun to watch and both teams will have a great shot at worlds. Will be a good time either way

Do you think it is a coincidence that quite literally every major player has left the team voluntarily except for rekkles? Xpeke, febiven, yellowstar, broxah, soaz, caps, huni, reignover, the list goes on. Fnatic has NEVER been an org with tons of cash, even in other games like csgo. They have great teams, yes, but its almost always cheaper players. Why do you think there are hyli bwipo rumors? They both are getting huhe offers that fnc cant match.

    If G2 stays with this roster. I would like to see them be more aggressive and proactive in the early game. For the past 2 years G2 has been beat early game. Last year FPX slam them in the first 15 minutes. This year Canyon had so much pressure with beryl roaming. One positive thing is Caps roam had been a lot better.

    Perkz is the kind of person who does not say: "Caps you must leave I want back on mid lane.". He is a cool guy. That's why Caps play on AD for half of the split. He thought Perkz don't like AD more but didn't want to say it. Perkz and Caps are great players but in my opinion, G2 is Perkz!
    Perkz is a more valuable player. He is the face of G2 but I see more arguments that why he should stay and back on mid lane:
    Perkz is a more vocal player (Jankos mentioned it)
    He is better 2vs2 with Jankos than Caps
    Bigger champion pool (He played tanks, supports ad & ap).
    In 2018 he was better mid than Caps (They said it)
    He has big brain ideas like a funnel, played weird stuff with Jankos, "ult Alistar behind" etc
    He is a true captain
    He can sacrifice for the team
    with Rekkles, G2 can be like 2018 IG so trade Caps for him

He just isn't on the level of Chovy, Showmaker, Rookie, Knight, Faker, and maybe I could argue for Bdd even Doinb but top 5 he just wouldn't sniff it for me rn.

      What I can't stand is that he focuses purely on the NA angle and overplays how much NA is value'd so much. Emily rightly points out that if Perkz wants to compete he has to go to Fnatic if he leaves G2 (apart from joining an LPL or LCK team). What is Tyler's reaction, well no he can also join C9. Like bro are you for real, Rekkles and Hillysang were the best performing bot lane at worlds, Selfmade is an insane jungler, every year Fnatic competed for the LEC tittle and upsets teams at worlds, and you think C9 could match that? Even pound for pound C9 can't match Fnatic in a single role.
      Let emily speak with someone else, or bring him on for NA shows only where his echo chamber willl praise him, but don't let him talk about a reall region and reall teams.
