Competition is increasing and so are teams looking to create a stable roster that can qualify for international tournaments.
Failure to qualify for Masters and Champions without a top 4 finish:
-
Sentinels = Core has been together for about 1.5 years so any further disappointment may lead to implosion of the roster and starting over with TenZ and Sick.
-
C9 = Not a full roster disband but a roster change to improve further than to remain consistently good and not achieve much.
-
Faze = Tons of experience of making roster moves. CSGO is a very good example and no problem with cash so buyouts go brrrr.
-
V1 = Zellsis already wants a break and unable to make Challengers 2 really hurt the team's ambitions overall.
-
TSM = Once again, organisation with lots of experience in roster moves e.g. LoL any bad form of results = CHANGE!
-
XSET = 4th for life, 4th as the size. Pillar of consistency and choking, enough said.
