I'm surprised Sneaky and Aphro never happened as a bot lane in LCS, they always played with each other during off seasons or in solo queue IIRC and their vibes were always funny
I mean I love Sneaky but no one "deserves" to be in the league, period. Teambuilding is dependent on so many factors - agreeing on salaries, managing which personalities will work together, taking gambles instead of going with known quantities (if you want to get wins in the long run), which often means specific pairings of veterans and rookies, etc. Many great players don't get on teams for these legitimate reasons, and many poor players get on teams for the same reasons. TBH, I don't know if there was a ton of behind the scenes drama (some seems likely), but looking at the 2020 lineup, the problem was clearly support/mid, not ADC. I doubt Sneaky over Cody fixes much on that team outside of Meteos not leaving, and Meteos perhaps being able to strongside Ssumday even more - but keep in mind even with Ry0ma and Stunt (2 of the worst players in the league), 100T made top 3 regular season in Spring with Cody looking really solid. So hard to say Papa was entirely wrong
@@podefunder They said they would have kept Aphromoo if Sneaky joined; so the bot would have been Sneaky, Aphromoo, and the jungler would have been Meteos. I don't think there are many that would argue Sneaky + Aphromoo would have been a worse bot lane; especially since Aphro and Meteos both pointed out their 100T ADC at the time was just not on the same page.
sneaky+aphro or stunt+cody. Good call there Papa. Meteos telling the story like, we really need this international level adc. Papa - we have an international level adc at home!. At home - cody sun
@@DeeDiazH they do not have money issues where they have go cheap. Plus it's not like sneaky and aphro are super expensive, they both only had DIG as other options.
Man idk how good they would've been but I def think any team with those 3 could be solid as hell. iirc 2020 spring was the mental boom split for TL plus on 100T it'd be Ssumday, Meteos, Sneaky, and Aphro. Ryoma would obv be the biggest question mark on the team but I think he was decent enough and they were already top 3 so imo they could legit challenge FLY and EG for sole possession of 2nd.
as a fan, the first few years of 100t management was such a rollercoaster, from great moves into legit the worst dogshit decisions that could possibly be made over and over. They really were doing the least with the most.
What a great story and man the dream team they would be so hype they have good experience/chemistry sometimes good teammates just win vs assumed teammates that will be better.
It’s crazy they didn’t even TRY to get sneaky when they had meteos. For most teams sneaky is realistically unobtainable bc he would be to expensive and I doubt he would join a bad team but 100t absolutely could have got him. The only reason he “fell off” was bc of the bot lane mage meta that he wasn’t good at but as we can see now that was super short lived
Idk if it's just me, but I swear Apho around DL still seems like he lowkey doesn't like him. Cuz around every1 else, like these 2, he seems way more into the convo. But every time it's DL bro is checked out.

I think the only times it could have happened were 2018 when Aphro left CLG and this time here and every year since.
This hurt my soul, as aphro said, sneaky was the best performer at worlds and a 3 times champion but he never got a team :(
Even though DL always memed "Sneaky in lane" he praised him for managing to somehow stay relevant in the game even if he was behind

Sneaky only won twice I think
1:41 the worst part is they even lost in 20 minutes 😭 it was actually psychological damage
Sooooooo SAD that never happened. Instant favorite team in LCS.
sneaky+aphro or stunt+cody. Good call there Papa.

Cody was smurfing tho, he was better than sneaky at points
fkn hilarious papa smithy picked fkn stunt and codydone over sneaky and aphro....
Dont ever trust a 35yo guy with grey hair.
They picked cheaper players to afford imports. Not that he thought Stunt was a better player.

It's really wild they didn't get sneaky, he would have been a pretty big boost to their brand I would imagine

ctime in the sneaky clips comment section :o
@@cephalopodlor yooooo
PAPA SLEAZY (and Prolly) backstabbing both Aphro and Meteos to insure that 100T could eventually send the worst team to ever go to Worlds.
so DIG roster mightve been Huni Meteos Froggen Sneaky Aphro, damn what could've been
Huni/Froggen sounds terrible.
@@saintsataniko2116 it was horrible.
That's a roster that looks good on paper but fails terribly 😅
Dig just needs Summit / Impact, Meteos, Jensen, Sneaky, Aphromoo. Easy fix!
@@ltheelementalflowl why would impact leave fly?

And Zeyzal, that guy was ass
Holy shit I would’ve loved to seek them play
the only other possible team that would pick up both sneaky and meteos at once would be: golden guardians or immortals based on the 2019 storylines.
Lmaoooo at the I'm not afraid story
Players losing control of rosters was the worst thing to happen in esports.
we've been robbed.
people took DLs comments about sneaky in lane as anything other then trolling BS way to seriously
what happen to cody sun
L PapaSmithy
Nah to be fair when meteos rejoined he was pretty bad lol the 1st time he did not deserve to get kicked
They wouldve won worlds 100%
