Discussion: ash says Wicadia has star-player upside after Aurora reach Thunderpick playoffs

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

Aurora coach Ashley “ash” Battye praised Ali “Wicadia” Haydar Yalçın after a 2-0 win over 9z and said the Turkish rifler has room to grow well beyond a top-20 finish.

Read the full story. What do you think?

ash calling Wicadia a star-player type is fair, but the bigger takeaway is Aurora still look like two different teams depending on the day. that opener loss to 9z wasn't just a bad map, it sounded like a whole prep issue.

@1054 agreed on the prep part, but i think the trust angle matters more. if Wicadia really needs freedom to read the game, Aurora have to make the rest of the system tighter so his variance doesn't spill everywhere.

the weird bit is ash basically admitting they're still a B-game roster sometimes. that's honest, but it also means playoffs might just expose them if FURIA force more mid-rounding than 9z did.

I think honesty is good, but only if they use it. If they keep talking about mistakes after every match and still win off pistols, it can become a crutch instead of a fix.

pistols hide too much. when they lose those, then we see the real level

and that real level is usually what survives majors anyway
