Possible NA Rosters for Franchising

So this is what I think the rosters for this next year will look like for NA. Its hard to balance what I think will happen with what I want to happen. so this is my best shot! it will probably be a longer post, but I would love to hear genuine feedback.

100 Thieves
This one seems obvious, but I kinda predicted the move, along with a lot of people, before it happened. But this is a young team with tons of talent that grinds REAL hard. Also doesn't help that I am a 100T fan, but yeah I think this roster is their 2023 + I think its a really good one. Some people may want to replace Stellar, but the calling and IGLing is hard to see from the outside looking in. So not sure.

1. Cryo - Primary Oper/Duelist
2. Asuna - Flex/Secondary Duelist
3. Derrek - Initiator
4. Stellar - Sentinel/IGL
5. bang - Controller
6. sgares - Coach

Cloud9
This one is only difficult because of the current meta and sentinel role, but here is my best guess based on current roles.

1. yay - Primary Oper/Duelist
2. leaf - Flex/Secondary Duelist
3. Xeppa - Initiator
4. Wippie - Sentinel
5. Vanity - Controller/IGL
6. JamezIRL - Coach

Sentinels
Sentinels is hard because in the past the team has seemed very much player run, which obviously has been an issue with success. That coupled with the concerns with clout over real potential (ie. signing Shroud for LCQ) makes me worried for the team. However, I believe if the org starts to take a better handle on the team, it can make a real difference. Also, me not including Shahzam has nothing to do with me thinking he is a "rat" or bad. I actually don't think he is bad at all, but the cultural change has to happen somewhere, and I think getting in new leadership is crucial.

1. TenZ - Primary Oper/Duelist
2. Zellsis - Flex/Secondary Duelist
3. bcJ - Initiator
4. dapr - Sentinel
5. Zander - Controller/IGL
6. Kaplan - Coach

NRG
This seems inevitable that FNS and maybe a good bit of OpTic will go to this team because of the friendships between many of those players. That is a big reason for this list.

1. s0m - Primary Oper/Duelist
2. Ethan - Flex/Secondary Duelist
3. crashies - Initiator
4. FNS - Sentinel/IGL
5. Marved - Controller
6. chet - Coach

EG
I had a hard time with this one too, so that is why I have two in the Primary OPer/Duelist spot. Jawgemo has been incredibly good for EG, but he sometimes lacks in consistency. There, it really comes down to internals with the team, but this is my guess. I think building around a core of The Guard could really start this team off on some high chemistry. Plus, they can thing plug in players who really round out the roster well to allow for more firepower.

1. jawgemo/sayaplayer - Primary Oper/Duelist
2. zekken - Flex/Secondary Duelist
3. Trent - Initiator
4. mitch - Sentinel
5. Valyn - Controller/IGL
6. mCe - Coach (if he wants considering he said he intends to stay with The Guard)

Would love to hear your thoughts and team ideas for NA next season!

C9 shouldn't get wippie, they should go for another flex player and keep leaf on main duelist.

Also, crashies and victor are a pair

everyone but nrg seem good predictions. I believe victor and crashies are not separating, so no ethan or no marved.

Honestly would be cool to see these plus 6th men for either current roster players or people having ideas to add fo that
Regarding this list though

EG, Valyn would IGL not Mitch
NRG, i could see them dropping s0m for CC

Possible 6th men for each team
100T Will
C9 NeT
SEN Sick
NRG Eeiu
EG Jawgemo/Sayaplayee, maybe Boostio?

Mitch IGL was a typo :) but yeah!

are you not worried about maps or metas where Chamber is not good? What would the team look like on a map like Ascent if chamber falls out of meta with leaf main duelist + yay + another flex? :)

with NRG, what would you have?

it's hard for them to plan for the long term in that sense. this is the best for them with the info we have now to get a good initiator

i feel like going for FNS is the right call, as their main problem was Ethan/Hazed IGL, and maybe upgrade the coach, not to disrespect JoshRT, but i think i've not seen anything bold or new from the setups/playstyle of NRG, where they abuse tex FB success with chamber. Ethan was not performing, but when he performed, they did look really good. I do think Ethan was a good fit for them, as hazed because they were friends and they had good synergy, but right now u can upgrade from both. tex showed he is really good on chamber/op role. s0m is the kinda player i think is hit or miss, but he is flexible and brings value also as a content creator, but i think he should play smokes mainly, mb im wrong. So i would build around tex and s0m. I would keep eeiuu if i dont get an upgrade. He is a really clutch player, and a good initiator, but he has not value over that, plus there are upgrades from him. I would go for crashies+victor+FNS. If i cant get crashies+victor, i would keep eeiuu, and go for another flex like Sick/JonahP or keep Ethan.
