Seems like Lui is leaving Envy cause they dont need them?
Hope he finds a new team soon. Had really good matches in the past.
remiska [#5]And envy again left with none able to play genji
Lui barely played Genji during his short time at nV, don't count effect out.

From what were seen so far Effect is one trick tracer while lui played few herose, genji included and the thing envy lacks most is flexibility

before today everyone thought WhoRU was a genji one trick! if you didn't see his genji doesn't mean he doesn't play him.
NaifGs [#8]before today everyone thought WhoRU was a genji one trick! if you didn't see his genji doesn't mean he doesn't play him.
his tracer was awesome

By this Logic you could Pick everyone for every role

No? He's just saying you can't judge people's skills on heroes you haven't seen them play. EnVy probably knows EFFECT can flex to other heroes too and that is why they are letting Lui go.

"I havent seen ajax play widow so he might be great widow, they should have kept him for his widow"
One trick indeed has the negative connotation of either choosing to play only one hero or being significantly worse on every other hero. You can't use that to classify EFFECT at all lol. Didn't he say he plays Genji on his rank #2 account?
I think it's good for both Lui and NV for this outcome. Lui has kind of proven himself in terms of standard and NV can fully focus on working as a 6 man team without having to worry or slot in time to practice with a 7th.
The current lineup of NV might have been the most flexible one by far and perhaps in the entirety of western teams. Feels like they have a lot of back pocket strategies that they're just withholding until they really need to or want to bring them out so it may seem like they always run the same composition / style even if they are competent in running other things.

Didn't he just say you can't judge people's skills on heroes you haven't seen? Last time I checked "he must be a great widow" was a judgement... Your argument is flawed

The widow argument is odd and a bit extreme, honestly at that level he arguably could have others heroes he plays at a high enough level for PRO play but we won't know until they feel the need to bring them out. As Kryma eluded to I assume that nV has seen more to him than just his Tracer if Lui was released, else they might once again fall prey to that inflexibility that doomed them in season 2.
Considering how strong some of the other Korean teams have gotten it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to have a backup plan.
