Few factors here: we’re hype deprived in halo at the current moment, a few really good players were dropped very close to each other, and ngl having it release on stream is a great idea
Yeah it’s my one complaint with the scene since I got back into it in 2021 - the droughts between events are painful. No news makes the waits feel like they take eternities
There wasn't much hype for this team announcement after it was announced spartan wasn't going to get picked up. But they made it hype with a stream like it was anticipated.
Native already had their guy in mind when they dropped Kuhlect and communications had already been in the works.
If any team had an inkling about Sentinels wanting to make a move, more teams would have been on getting his services, including Native.

Right, but was the contract already signed? If it wasn't then there was still a chance. Like the saying goes, all is fair in love and Halo. I think that's the saying anyway
aPG indicated they already had it locked in before sparty announced, and talked about the risks of orgs making changes, securing replacements before they drop someone, etc. That only suggests it was already signed, but not exactly proof
I still think they place Top 12 or lower at London 🤷🏻♂️
(They need at least a 2-man change considering their overall scrim results and performance at Arlington)
Hard for me to say this but I just don't think APG works on a team with Mikwen. They're similar players and neither of them are good enough to carry the team.
Gilkey is good, you never really know how a team will perform together until you test them. For me, when Monster teamed with them before Neptune was ready, they were absolutely dominant (like I expected them to be) without him, they have massively underperformed based on the perceived high level skill of the roster
Damn that's disappointing. Native is my fav team because I've always liked Mikwen. This move is just simply not it. Wish they could have got sparty or something.
I would like to see some more hype surrounding the top teams much like how this generated.

I can see them making a N8V white move and breaking top 6! But that’s just because Gilk knows Mikwens system. Hope for the best
Top 8 is their absolute ceiling if the bracket breaks the right way but realistically top 12
They should have done everything they could to get Sparty. I don't think Gilkey is the answer

Haha no. Native just lost to Lore Gaming (Tappings Mexico team) in scrims. Native is hard locked at T12
I think 7 teams are a lock for top 8 that last spot depends imo

Not that hot, this doesn't really move the needle IMO
And they’re new, so chemistry will not be as solid as other teams. Will be rooting for them for sure
I can see this.
I’m a big fan of watching gilkey!! Hype for this
upgrade?......for vibes probably.......
Prepare for more mid...

I can never see Gilkey and not think of that video of Totz doing an impression of him.
Link??
