Something that I just noticed is that all the teams in the top 3 from Copenhagen didn't have roster changes for quite a bit of time
Optic/Envy - Yay in August 2021 (chet in October if that counts)
Prx - The entire roster was together since February 2021
Fpx - Ardiis in December 2021 (but the closest one was Doombros in May 2021)
Maybe the formula to doing well in Masters is sticking to one roster and not making changes? looking at you Fnatic

lalaser93 [#5]Nah, Mistic is consistent. Consistently awesome online and mediocre in Lan. They need to tackle why that happens, but if he shows his online form they have an insane team.
If they can resolve whatever his issue was then there is absolutely no need to replace him, but there is no denying that he lack the fire power.
jackb2016 [#7]4 players of PRX were actually together since September of 2020 (In cs:go)
They even played with jinggg in csgo
KatZ [#3]FNC need to replace Mistic I guess, dude is very inconsistent.
I think if they replace anyone from the core of derke boaster and mistic they will not be as strong because they will lose alot of there strcuture. The reason they can do so many roster changes is because of that core.
no_noise_979 [#13]well yes.. but there are also many teams who stick together and stay mid, never progress
like drx
no_noise_979 [#15]your point ?
drx had their 5 players since may of last year, they've always been extremely dominant in their own region but always mid on the international stage
Asokra [#18]Too early to tell how PRX FPX and Optic will do in the long run. Remember how gambit/sen/acend barely had any roster changes last year and they still managed to fall off so they have to make roster moves now. If Optic continues a top 3 pace for the next 2-3 events this will be correct.
for prx, it's not too early
4 players of PRX were actually together since September of 2020
so, they have already achieve many things since they goes to Valorant from CS
isnt the reason why they stick to their roster is because it’s working, especially in the case of envy/optic? cant really consider your 2nd and 3rd example, prx had their current roster from lcq (?), just like liquid but they have different results (liquid will have a new roster now tho), fpx had their current roster in december just like g2 (both didnt qualify for champs that time), but also have different current results.

Chemistry is a big thing and if that starts to fade, then so does their chances of winning. Maybe that might be the case with roster changes
