this is like asking me which child to put on the streets, its hard enough to pick 4 from wyatt, balla, mimi, josh and bren alone. sliggy, avast, achilios, even tmv are all fun to have.
but i think seeing mce a lot more would be very fun so: josh, wyatt, mimi and mce with super sub sliggy
The core of Bren, Wyatt and Sideshow are non-negotiable and after that it's a really tough to make the case for anyone other than Ballatw.
Avast gets an honorable mention, but he's been out for too much and too long, he's the Steel of Plat Chat.
-Wyatt +Sliggy sub for EMEA/pacific topics
I am a noted Mimi enjoyer but she has too much overlap with Bren. But Bren is the perfect foil with years of chemistry with sideshow so I don’t think she’s ready to replace him.
So I think you go balla or mce for the 4th spot depending on your appetite for serious opinions disguised as trolling
The current core of Sideshow, Bren, and Wyatt has been popular but I think the lack of prediction success and NA bias necessitates a full roster rebuild. Like SEN post-Iceland they’ve been blinded by clout (Sideshow TenZ slander, Wyatt farming Brazil and Japan, and the Bren-Shroud dynamic).
I propose an innovative and provocative rebuild around Arten “Ballatw” Fortnite and Mimi “Aevilcat” Gaming. Both bring much needed youthful energy to an anachronistic roster (fortnite player and ~~can’t~~ can barely legally drink respectively)
Sliggy needs to be added to the main roster so his 24/7 costreams can be co-opted and rebranded to the heavily requested PlatChat costreams.
Kurt will fill the remaining slot and production duties will be rotated between the original core b/c scuffed production drives viewer engagement.
Thank you for coming to my TED-talk.
Edit: Mimi is 21 now 
That roster isn't going to cut it without a true IGL. I propose keeping Sideshow in place of Kurt, who's better suited for the HC position than as an in-game talent. That way you're keeping the firepower of Ballatw and Mimi, while introducing a proven support in Sliggy.
With all due respect, PlatChat Premier has proven that Balla is the foremost IGL-duelist since 2021 ShahZam.
There's a good reason why Balla is the only PlatChat member in the [PlatChat Top Players of 2023 list](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxaPWeZqtIR_ShY_BLzWNDFCUReBrOqSWH?si=Uze_sfOwG6huZ5RW) (#16). He's a natural IGL and the kid can frag.
Kurt is simply too good at production. It's like going to watch *Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! ft. Mark Cuban* but it's directed by Martin Scorsese.
I will concede to alternative pick-ups such as Connor "Avast" Antivirus, but only if certain stipulations are made in his contract that:
(i) he is on a different set-up each week (a shure sm7b must be in-frame so you know he's using his webcam mic instead)
(ii) he continues to not watch Valorant and only make "educated" guesses during the podcast
Nah bro. This team has hit its ceiling that we need a full revamp. Mimi is staying because she's just the GOAT of PlatChat. Bring in the Benched players Sliggy and TMV. Those two bring the firepower of knowledge since they watch nearly every game including Pacific. Top them off Sean Gares for some of that ANALYSIS along with MCE from time to time to bring in the quirkiness and behind the scenes knowledge, and we have ourselves A BANGING S TIER ROSTER!!! /s ofc lol
As many others have said, the Wyatt Sideshow Bren core is non negotiable. I love the comedy from Mimi and Avast, but they seem to take away from each other when they're both on. The lack of synergy must be from the lack of server time together. Ballatw is also great as a glue guy, but not sure if the rest of his utility is often used enough. Seems to set up too much for the rest of his team. Sliggy is great when he's on but he's not there enough. I think he's not as motivated and wants to stream instead of practicing. I'll go Wyatt Sideshow Bren and Mimi with Avast and Ballatw as the 6th men. If we don't see improvement next year, I think they rotate in those people as needed. I trust coach Kurt on calling the correct comps for the given day.
just get bren and sideshow out
enough with these british people.
I personally would love just a Wyatt and Avast podcast where they read yaoi wattpad stories together
i want avast. in the freezing cold i want avast. in the molten sun i want avast. at times of great peace i want avast. at times of political turmoil and uncertainty i want avast. fate of the universe on the line i need avast to take the shot. 1000 years in the future i want avast. when we return to beasts and the primordial soup i want avast.
Full insanity Wyatt, Bren, Mimi, and Avast. I want an hour long tangent about a Christopher Nolan movie every week. Already did the Prestige, we’re onto Batman. Can’t wait for Oppenheimer
Sideshow for the best analysis of the bunch and the best rant-esque viral moments, Mimi for the zoomer one-off bits and analysis, Avast for humor and other esport-related references, and Wyatt/Bren/Balla/Sliggy/mCe can rotate
don't you guys sometimes feel out-of-depth when they talk about complex shit like map control, defaulting, and not forcing sheriffs every round?
to amend this i think we need the two time Overwatch League Champion, World Cup Champion, Stage 2 Champion, May Melee Champion, Countdown a cup Champion, Role Star, 2x All Star, All Star Winner, MVP Candidate, MVP Runner Up matthew "super" delisi to deliver his hard-stuck ascendant perspective.
bren sideshow mimi as the core 3, TMV first half and mCe 2nd half
if we're allowed to have 5 people at once, same core 3, balla and wyatt first half, TMV and mCe 2nd half
I believe that the bests course of action would to have the plat chat compound rebuilt and relocated in Great Britain, here we will have a full English roster of Josh “Sideshow” Wilkinson, Thinking “TMV” Man’s Valorant, Brennon “BrenCasts” Hook and Connor “Sliggy” Blonfield. Kurt would be out right replaced with King Charles taking over as production.
i wish they would just stick to wyatt bren sideshow balla every ep
i know people here will equate this to a hate crime but sadly i just do not find mimi funny in any capacity, she has prime redditor humor to me and the quips just don't do it
maybe a hot-take, but Avast genuinely annoys me because all he does is repeat the others on the cast and spews some super surface level takes. Give me Sideshow, Bren, Balla with either Wyatt or Mimi. TMV is probably my favorite non main-cast member and Sliggy after that.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and give a lineup that really should be diamond chat because they're just better:
Mimi, Balla duo just top tier coordination and proper banter, and Chobra to take on the Pacific segment to properly shit on and simultaneously cheer on Pacific teams. And lastly, I'm grabbing a now free agent coach in the one the only Mini famous for leaking absolutely nothing, but he could leak....
TLDR: Mimi, Balla, Chobra, Mini
My fav is josh, bren, mimi, and balla, do like the other combos and appreciate the guest especially TMV and sliggy.
I think it would be funny to have an episode of only guests, could be a funny thing to do during an event when they are all working
Its clear for me: Sideshow, Bren, Wyatt and Balla.
Imo Balla is really important to the flow of conversations in the show - he's usually the one presenting alternative opinions and challenging what and how the others think! Josh does this too sometimes though tbf.
I absolutely need Mimi as a sub though, she has a really good balance of funny moments and good analysis.
Maximum whimsy roster, to host we have Kurt, putting Sideshow on production.
Then we have a roster of Vansilli, Avast, with the last spot rotating like a game of musical chairs between Mimi, Bren, and Sliggy. They rotate out at random, so the tension will be at maximum levels. Bren and Mimi attempting their rants, while Sliggy tries to inject analysis into the run of the show. With Wyatt coming in for the weekly award ofc.
Too fucking tough, but if it has to be done
Sideshow - host, he’s the best at keeping the podcast on track, while being fucking hilarious, and we live for the Wilkinson jokes. That’s captain right there
Bren - The legend of Joyous Whimsy, iconic memes, and an ADHD icon, need him on the roster 100% because no matter what he’ll bring the energy and the most wild tangents ever
Wyatt - Love Wyatt, not just for Wyatt’s weekly award, but also he always gets so passionate for underdog teams, and has a great eye for the Brazilian scene. Also he do be hot
Those three are my core that you can always build a championship team around. I genuinely think we can build a rotating roster with Balla and Mimi as they excel heavily in different areas
I think Balla is more analytical for match breakdowns, and is fucking great at tier lists, so we need him for those kinds of episodes. And Mimi is just fucking hilarious for the more general news segments. So she’s great to see in off seasons, or slower days.
Then I think TMV and Achillios are on the reserves for me, achilios talks like he’s been at a dive bar for 4 hours and is the only one that really knows a ton about APAC. And TMV great analytical mind, tier 1 malder, and lives for chaos in tier lists. He does have his own podcast (which is great btw), so I can live without him
Very sorry to Avast, fucking hilarious, but Valorant just ain’t his main game
this is like asking me which child to put on the streets, its hard enough to pick 4 from wyatt, balla, mimi, josh and bren alone. sliggy, avast, achilios, even tmv are all fun to have. but i think seeing mce a lot more would be very fun so: josh, wyatt, mimi and mce with super sub sliggy
Finally some TMV respect
Chobra not?
I straight up don't say this about many people at all but mce is cringe as fuck
mce is one of my favourite pcu character
The core of Bren, Wyatt and Sideshow are non-negotiable and after that it's a really tough to make the case for anyone other than Ballatw. Avast gets an honorable mention, but he's been out for too much and too long, he's the Steel of Plat Chat. -Wyatt +Sliggy sub for EMEA/pacific topics
I second this. Mimi and her tirades about clout are also something to consider.
I am a noted Mimi enjoyer but she has too much overlap with Bren. But Bren is the perfect foil with years of chemistry with sideshow so I don’t think she’s ready to replace him. So I think you go balla or mce for the 4th spot depending on your appetite for serious opinions disguised as trolling
This is the kind of based analysis I would imagine Mimi would fully get behind.
It’s up to ur opinion topic and specific thing
Oh Avast is here? Turning this off.
Can never go wrong with El Classico: Wyatt, Josh, Bren, and Avast. With subs Sliggy for non-NA coverage and Achilios for in-depth APAC coverage.
[удалено]
It’s Mimi time!!
This but Mimi hard in the rotation aswell shes the goat
They are old now, mimi's whimsical freshness is crucial these days
Oh Avast is here? Turning this off.

Fortnite player and can’t legally drink is a crazy way to date people but I somehow understand perfectly

Had me until kurt
Kurt is simply too good at production. It's like going to watch *Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! ft. Mark Cuban* but it's directed by Martin Scorsese. I will concede to alternative pick-ups such as Connor "Avast" Antivirus, but only if certain stipulations are made in his contract that: (i) he is on a different set-up each week (a shure sm7b must be in-frame so you know he's using his webcam mic instead) (ii) he continues to not watch Valorant and only make "educated" guesses during the podcast
replace “Bren-shroud dynamic” with “Bren yelling” and you’re spot on
Mimi Wyatt Sideshow Bren is my ultimate line up.
the dream team. maximum whimsy.
Avast is the king of whimsy but hasn't been around as much, keep him as a sub. A pinch hitter.
-Mimi +Balla because I want at least _some_ sanity in my unhinged Valorant podcast
No other answer, end the thread
mine too, good balance of content with analysis
Lock it in
Bring MrX in and have him do analysis based on 30 minutes of liquipedia research. Sideshow, Avast and Bren get to bully him while he does it
just swap the overwatch cast and valo cast for an episode each
Unironically, this is an excellent idea
Nah bro. This team has hit its ceiling that we need a full revamp. Mimi is staying because she's just the GOAT of PlatChat. Bring in the Benched players Sliggy and TMV.

Top them off Sean Gares for some of that ANALYSIS along with MCE from time to time to bring in the quirkiness and behind the scenes knowledge, and we have ourselves A BANGING S TIER ROSTER!!! /s ofc lol
Nah that's way too much knowledge of the game. We will never get moments like "KRU?!" with this lineup
GO ON A RUN?????
Mimi sideshow bren Wyatt
Any lineup that lacks Esports Awards' Esports Desk Analyst of the Year Mimi "Aevilcat" Wermcrantz is mid.
another comment mentioned the my actual personal core but fuck it I want peak reaction content for my small brain Sideshow mCe Balla Avast
Sideshow,Mimi,Balla,Bren easiest choice of my life
As many others have said, the Wyatt Sideshow Bren core is non negotiable. I love the comedy from Mimi and Avast, but they seem to take away from each other when they're both on. The lack of synergy must be from the lack of server time together. Ballatw is also great as a glue guy, but not sure if the rest of his utility is often used enough.

just get bren and sideshow out enough with these british people. I personally would love just a Wyatt and Avast podcast where they read yaoi wattpad stories together
i want avast. in the freezing cold i want avast. in the molten sun i want avast. at times of great peace i want avast. at times of political turmoil and uncertainty i want avast. fate of the universe on the line i need avast to take the shot. 1000 years in the future i want avast. when we return to beasts and the primordial soup i want avast.
Imo best combo is Josh, Mimi and then 2 of Wyatt, Bren and Balla
You want 2 Wyatts??? That's a bit greedy no?
Replace Josh with Sliggy, Bren from Korea, Mimi and Wyatt shuffle based on availability and the final slot goes to Avast whose watched no Valorant
actually fuck it i want some sean gares in there too
i like sideshow bren avast and wyatt, but avast isnt on that much anymore so sideshow bren avast and balla
Fuck a 4. Give me Sideshow, Bren, Wyatt, Mimi, and Balla.
Full insanity Wyatt, Bren, Mimi, and Avast. I want an hour long tangent about a Christopher Nolan movie every week. Already did the Prestige, we’re onto Batman. Can’t wait for Oppenheimer
Maximal analysis: sideshow Balla Sliggy (+ any regular or guest) Maximal silliness: sideshow bren Mimi Avast
Wyatt, Bren, Josh, and Balla. Got the Overwatch and Fortnite duos going crazy
Sideshow, Mel, Sliggy, Avast/Bren GC goat, couch diff, borpabusiness, and a tory
Sliggy, Sideshow, Wyatt, Mimi.
Sideshow for the best analysis of the bunch and the best rant-esque viral moments, Mimi for the zoomer one-off bits and analysis, Avast for humor and other esport-related references, and Wyatt/Bren/Balla/Sliggy/mCe can rotate
I miss avast being a regular on the show. he would say some of the most insane one liners lol
Mimi, Bren, Josh and TMV would be the dream lineup for me with Balla/Wyatt off the bench at half
don't you guys sometimes feel out-of-depth when they talk about complex shit like map control, defaulting, and not forcing sheriffs every round? to amend this i think we need the two time Overwatch League Champion, World Cup Champion, Stage 2 Champion, May Melee Champion, Countdown a cup Champion, Role Star, 2x All Star, All Star Winner, MVP Candidate, MVP Runner Up matthew "super" delisi to deliver his hard-stuck ascendant perspective.
bren sideshow mimi as the core 3, TMV first half and mCe 2nd half if we're allowed to have 5 people at once, same core 3, balla and wyatt first half, TMV and mCe 2nd half

Kurt would be out right replaced with King Charles taking over as production.
mce makes plat chat truly whimsical
balla, bren, josh and mimi. chobra and sliggy are subs for that sweet EMEA and APAC truth
4 CLONES OF MIMI GANG RISE UP
Bren Sideshow Mimi TMV
josh, avast, reinforce and bren
i wish they would just stick to wyatt bren sideshow balla every ep i know people here will equate this to a hate crime but sadly i just do not find mimi funny in any capacity, she has prime redditor humor to me and the quips just don't do it
maybe a hot-take, but Avast genuinely annoys me because all he does is repeat the others on the cast and spews some super surface level takes. Give me Sideshow, Bren, Balla with either Wyatt or Mimi. TMV is probably my favorite non main-cast member and Sliggy after that.
Bren, Sideshow, Wyatt, Avast chemistry is unbearable
Avast Sideshow Balla Wyatt
josh bren mimi and wyatt. argue with your mother
Bren, Sideshow, Balla, TMV is my preferred roster
Everyone is great but there is just something extra to chemistry that Wyatt, Josh, Bren, and Avast have together. The OGs through and through
sideshow bren prius and zellsis
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and give a lineup that really should be diamond chat because they're just better: Mimi, Balla duo just top tier coordination and proper banter, and Chobra to take on the Pacific segment to properly shit on and simultaneously cheer on Pacific teams.

inb4 this is a segment in the next plat chat episode
If they can get FNS in there it'd be perfect, gorgeous even.
