Why do you think this game was close? Because of TH 1 mont old Strats vs 100T 1 year chemistry and work? Or because TH duels and clutches?
YOU ARE SO DUMB, there is no such thing as being "bad at strats" I am literally explaining to you thats not how valorant works at pro level. They are performing good because this is a stupid tournament that must not be taken seriously, C9 who was regarded as a contender for best team itw just lost to FOKUS without their best players after they lost to OnlyFins a couple days ago, do you understand how no1 is playing at their full potential? This tournament is just higher stakes scrims
baddyg (igl), minib00, vo0kashu, zeek, mixwell. This team would be 10 times better than the current one and you can keep the star of the team and mixwell who brings a lot of fans, baddyg is a super smart player that has learned from the best in ange1 and is capable to become a top IGL. On the financial side, an org of the caliber of Heretics can afford all these players and they could buy them for a low price and even sell them on a high price in the future when they become some of the best players in Europe, it just makes way more sense on all fronts. Not to say that although these are young talents, they still would be an instant improvement in performance compared to the current players
Let's go by parts.
BaddyG it's a great player and and I wouldn't call you crazy if you told be he is slightly better than Boo but if TH has decided to go for Boo is because they've seen something and tbh he is owning rn and helped molsi carry his team really far. Also baddyg has been coIGL for like a split, that's not very reliable IGL. Overall you would agree with me if it is an upgrade it's just slightly?
Vokashu did have many offers but his buyout was huge and again, you will agree with me it's a risky take you don't know how he will perform, meanwhile AvovA has experience and chemistry with the players. Also vokashu it's known for having some toxic polemics
About MiniBoo he has a similar peak than keloqz but I totally agree he is way more consistent and I like him a lot plus the brother buff could have been real but tbh keloqz has the talent to be top in the world
So in conclusion all of them could or could not be upgrades, but I don't get why all that hate. Are they really much worse than KC or vitality for example?
Example of this is DRX, they have transitioned from a team that only played on very rigid set strats and was very predictable to a team that default like the best teams and be unpredictable and adaptable.
