Discussion: d3ffo leaves BOOM Esports after one year and goes LFT in APAC, China

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

The former Gambit and M3C player is searching for his next Valorant team after a year with BOOM Esports.

Read the full story. What do you think?

d3ffo's market is interesting because the article frames him as a pure ex-duelist, but his value now is probably role flexibility. APAC and China both have teams that will gamble on a veteran if he can fill gaps without demanding the whole system be built around him.

@drop78 That's true, but I think his age profile matters too. Teams in those regions often buy experience for pressure maps and late-round calling, and if he can actually hold Sentinel then he's more than just a name from Gambit.

I'm more interested in BOOM's side of it. If a team keeps changing pieces after losing the league slot, the problem is usually bigger than one departure, and players can smell that from miles away.

@Beth E for sure, and the coach change makes it worse. Once Fields left and natz moved on, it stops feeling like a project and starts feeling like leftovers getting shuffled around.

[Antoine_glitch]

I agree on the pressure maps part. A lot of teams in APAC want someone who already played in a big system, even if the player is not on the exact same role anymore, because the decision making is already there.
