"Replacing s1mple with SunPayus seems questionable, because s1mple has not played any matches for about a year, except for an unsuccessful performance with Falcons in March this year—they lost to Metizport in the Blast Premier Spring Showdown. He needs to gain confidence, and given the current competition among snipers, s1mple might get lost in it. Moreover, current snipers also have to compete with riflemen. Simply renting a sniper cannot elevate the team.
If s1mple stays in the team and NiKo joins him, we would have a star-studded lineup. But for some reasons, this lineup has an older age structure. In my opinion, such a lineup can enter the HLTV Top 10, but is unlikely to win a championship.
In 2020, having s1mple and NiKo in the same team would sound crazy. But today, it wouldn't scare anyone. All top teams are rejuvenating their lineups, possibly except for Falcons. By the way, if Falcons can get three young players, their lineup model would be somewhat like FaZe. There are rumors now that m0NESY will join Falcons, but even so, this lineup is like cooking with fire. Too many star players can make it difficult for team members to interact. I thought of electronic and Perfecto(RUS) with Cloud9 , which is a typical example."
