NA orgs fail

homeless 2-0 T1, i think NA orgs made mistakes signing all teams so early :)

eh, homeless has some really good players, and T1 is sitting out like every tourney, pretending they are too good for it. I think it is more of a knock on T1 and their strategy of sitting things out than it is on other NA orgs. Teams like sentinels and immortals and C9 continue to power up and gain ground on TSM who is still currently holding strong

Probably
When you look at teams like Complexity, one can only wonder how they make their decisions

That seems like a bit of a sweeping generalization doesn't it?

Taking chances are good for the scene.
Some will win, some will lose.

But basing everything on 1 loss, when T1 already won tournaments, seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Welp kinda in NA, if you picked up players too early some up'n coming talent will reck your team. If your'e an org looking to make a team right now, good fucking luck cuz you're gonna need it. There are practically no tier 1/2 talents left in NA.
In EU half of the best players are still not signed by big orgs, and new talent is showing their worth. Honestly i don't understand why big orgs haven't picked up EU teams/players. Oh well, when NA enevidebly dries up they will probably import EU talents like in CSGO/LoL NA always worst region.

Teams that have a good run like this are quite likely to get signed as long as they stay together and continue to prove they belong at the top. Hopefully a team like EG or CLG (or insert notable org name here) already has a team like homeless on their radar of guys to pick up. Still, orgs don't want to see a team that had potential like party parrots just disband because they weren't signed within a certain timeframe

I have a feeling some NA sponsors will be changing up their rosters frequently. They probably didn’t hand out super long contracts to a lot of these players for such a new game.

Not really. If you're an org you're looking for a combo of brand and skill. Sometimes teams take a risk on unknown players but with how rapidly this game is developing it's almost impossible to properly scout which is why you see players like Supamen go under the radar.

Either way, after a T4 finish this team will surely get signed because NA orgs are jumping in weekly at this rate.

The only weird part about all this is Psalm not getting signed but that could be a variety of reasons (maybe he wants to build the team, he's waiting for the right org, etc)

T1 has not won a single tournament that wasnt a twitch showmatch when no other team had their full team in it besides them

Ture, but then why hasn't EU orgs picked up a team, currently it's only nip, forZe and G2. And because almost no orgs have done it yet. Promising tems like Fabrikken and PartyParrots have already disbanded.

Also the fact that best players got signed by forZe but PartyParrots haven't gotten signed makes no sense to me.

NA orgs keep getting backed by investors and then they piss the money into the wind on unproven teams
