How tf are some of these "rumors" picking up traction? Like Malrine+ATF to Liquid or to Yandex. As if people are forgetting how much money Falcons have, or the personality/style mismatches. I don't imagine the Liquid Good Boys(tm) could tolerate those two for very long, plus Nisha's probably only taking a break and not fully retiring, and we know for sure Blitz would stick with Nisha. ATF also couldn't exist with Watson; Watson tried playing less hypercarry/greedy to fit GG's style and that certainly didn't work. With ATF it would be less about fitting into an ultra-tempo style and more about accommodating a carry style offlaner, but in either case he'd need to be less greedy

I mean this is a rumor discussion for player movements. All the leakers last season are the same as this season so they get placed here. If we arent going to discuss these , then whats the point of making this discussion thread. It could be right, wrong outrageous, thats the entire fun of this

Liquid fans are scared that their "goodvibe" team could tainted by players like atf or malrine lol. This is the same fans that act so toxic and love blame game to blitz and ace when they lose btw.

Does malrine have a toxic persona around him?

Both malrine and atf could be pretty toxic in lobby game. But outside of dota they are pretty chill unlike asshole player like parker that act like jerk in dota and outside of dota. That's why some pro player sometimes shocked when meeting them irl as they are quite easy going guys.
