Hot takes (FRANCHISE VERSION)

Here are my hot takes for the post-franchising scene for NA (I'm not aware of the T2 scene of other regions so I'll stick to NA)

1. C9 will be the best team in NA with Vanity IGLing some good and dedicated players (Better than current OpTic)
2. bang and Derrek will become the best players in NA for their respective roles
3. NRG will buy out OpTic core
4. SEN will be back to top 3 (in the Americas league) after they bench Shazam and add steel
5. EG will continue to remain mediocre
6. Cryo, zekken, Dicey, jonahP, POISED, trent, babybay, jcStani, Zander, aproto, zellsis, BabyJ, Supamen, v1c, all OpTic players - will all 100% get into franchised teams

imagine rooting for a guy called "supamen"

Steel is not joining SEN.

don't forget skuba

I can understand why you'd say that about BabyJ but why jcStani ? Insane cracked player fr

Yeah, Steel is probably not going to come back to NA for a while, if at all

U copied 1st point from me right??

He's better than jcstani

jcstani deserves a spot on a franchised team

Sorry mb

Hot take: Derrek is not even a top 3 initiator in NA and shouldn’t be regarded as such just because he had 1 (one) good event

100T picking up Yay and FNS, C9 picking up trent.

One question, who do u think will remain at 100t and who are the potential pickups

EG pick up Trent and JonahP

NRG pick up some of the Optic players maybe not whole team

Steel will stay with T1 and they will be decent in KR

If C9 drop everyone but Vanity and Leaf maybe ( maybe keep Mitch)

POISED is meh imo theirs better “T2” players

Domination [#25]

I don't think they're making any roster changes
Everyone saying Will is getting replaced but I don't think he is, not after that insane LAN performance (he placed top 2 in duelists impact rating)

gamr [#23]

Hot take: Derrek is not even a top 3 initiator in NA and shouldn’t be regarded as such just because he had 1 (one) good event

He's had several good tournaments over the past 1.5 years. In fact he's had only 1 instance where he did bad (Challengers event). Otherwise he's always been insane, since his time on RISE

More like a molten take

Jawg will get on a good team tho

Challengers 1 and 2 he was mid at best. At champs he was terrible. His stats on rise shouldn’t be compared to his 100T stats. Sub 200 acs isn’t good enough to be compared to the likes of Trent, Crashies (who is proven on LAN although his stats aren’t crazy), and xeppaa (who is the best fade)

Name a T2 IGL worthy of the T1 scene
NA has an IGL famine

Or c9 again pick Gambit 👀

I think some of the ex-M3C players already have good offers
