A good salesman can sell a good product. A great salesman can sell a bad product. A sigma male salesman tells you the product isn’t ready and still tries to overcharge you for it.

NAVI coach B1ad3 told the whole world that headtr1ck wasn’t ready for tier one Counter-Strike, and then a few weeks later is trying to flog him for a bunch of money. Erm, good luck?

“Yeah this car is alright, not really road legal though. Thirty grand though, good deal.”

Thing is, B1ad3 sort of has a point. He’s a good player, but for NAVI’s level, he’s never going to quite get there. For crying out loud, they sold m0NESY. headtr1ck is never going to be the #1 guy.

But he’s still young, and improving, and for a tier two team who have some time and money to spare, he could be a hit. He’s not a ready made star, but he’s a talented player who can improve with you.

We’re doing a better job of selling him than NAVI, really.

Not that that’s saying much. Best of luck, headtr1ck - your coach says you’re not ready to play at the top tier and they’re trying to sell you. Hopefully you find a good home.
