c9 are obviously stacked but I don't think they are better than Optic's core. I still think NRG is the team to beat if Ardis can adjust to the team.
Yay>Ardis
Crashies>Xeppa
FNS>Vanity
Victor>=Leaf
Zellisis>Som
Maybe mechanically yes but in terms of agent pool and impact Victor>Leaf. Also let's be honest last year Leaf was no where near Victor. We will see when they face each other next time.
ardiis is a Great chamber player, and a amazing jett.
yay can only play chamber, and whenever he was forced on jett got diff'd hard.
they aint the same. ardiis >>>
yay was good when jett was an unbalanced agent lmao. now that she been nerfed to the ground essentially all he can do good on is chamber. just being realistic here. ardiis clears yay by a mile in terms of being able to adapt to what his team needs and not be a crutch when forced off.
I think Optic sets up in such a way that they maximize Yay(their star player) and they were also able to shutdown the opposite team's star player(chamber/jett) on multiple occasions. So it is gonna be interesting. I would slightly give the advantage to Ardis only bcoz he is on a better team.
