kinda skeptical about keeping XIA core it had a long time to be good and never got out of groups in 2022. pray that the young players do well
i can't really see -sScary +jitboys being a net positive but I think -surf +pati definitely can be since I think a big problem with Xerxia is their inability to entry efficiently. Surf is an incredible anchor but not as good as entrying as pati used to be (relative to average competition).
They should definitely still be at the top of APAC like always, though.
i think its gonna be better cause they added the firepower that was missing internationally in the new players. both garnets and jitboys are pretty cracked and patiphan is patiphan I think he's either gonna pop off hard or not play as well. also I think patiphan might not start because of his injury to start the year. if they get a good coach then it can be really good I think
