allu is a boss

Sad to see Maikelele go but Allu is a really great player. Glad to see him on a T1 team where he belongs.

allu is a much more consistent player than Maikelele, but I don't agree with the way they're using him in the team right now, it's sort of just like a better version of fifflaren awping

NiP's strategic deficiencies are definitely a bigger problem than the debate of Maikelele vs. allu, both are definitely good enough in their own way

who's replacing him on 3dmax

xarte, the stand-in they used for natu at the katowice quals and one of their old members

allu seems to work well with them but I thought the same thing about Maikelele. The real thing is that they need to mutually adjust to any new player as much as he needs to adjust to them - I still feel like Maikelele would have worked out if they played around his strengths more and didn't just put him where they used to put Fiffy. They need to do the same with allu if they want it to succeed - if they don't, expect another tryout in 2 months

allus mad good

He is playing really well with them, better than Delpan imo. I think that there is more chemistry between them, we shall see.

of course he's doing better than delpan, delpan is washed up as fuck lol

allu has deserved a top team for ages, glad he can finally show the world his potential.

menace thanks

how would he communicate with the rest of nip? are swedish and finnish similar languages?

They all speak english for one thing, I bet they each know a little of the two languages and they don't need a ton of complicated communication.

depending on where he's from in finland he could know a decent amount of swedish, maybe enough to understand and he can call in english?

swedish is mandatory for finnish students in grades 7-9

The rest of nip comm in swedish, allu comms in english.

allu speaks some swedish

Yeah, but he said he comms in english, he says his swedish isn't good enough to call quickly.
