strats-wise, all the NA teams look top tier but currently they’ll never win anything until they get more star players on the roster. I just hope these teams are smart enough to pick up insane t2 players but I have a feeling they won’t 😔

c9 needs to drop zellsis and pick up screwface before they can go to masters

zellsis is the biggest reason their honeymoon period lasted so long imo. He's an emotional leader for the team in tense situations. Jakee hard tilted during their EG and NRG matches. He's good but still inexperiened, and especially new to coping with failure at the magnitude of just missing out to an international LAN

No, imo synergy is more important than star players

yes but synergy will never win a major without solid mechanic players

you guys would've been making the same argument if half the current T1 players were in T2 "so many better NA players are in T2" 🤓
there's barely any players in tier 2 that are definitely better than current T1 players

Koalanoob is the best Awper in NA. He's on the same level as Aspas when awping. He doesnt need to replace anyone next year because the entirety of M80 is entering franchising next year through ascension.

Trust me when I say they will become a top 4 NA team instantly.

johnqt can easily replace stellar or pancada (pancada deserves to play smokes and not be stuck on kj)

valyn is better than boostio but I wouldn't replace boostio because of the synergy he already has with his team

add3r is a better sentinel than pancada, pancada deserves to play smokes for another team

trent, brawk, and eeiu can all replace derrek

flyuh is better than most franchised players but there's no team that has a spot open for his role right now.

These people are tripping, Jonah was The Guard’s best player during playoffs. neT is the second best sentinel player in NA after johnqt so obviously he deserves a shout out as well

Look at sen they have no synergy so there shit, I asked a few pros on what a t2 super team would be and they said you can’t force players together. They also said sen is on par with kru

I think the problem is that who would the tier 2 dudes replace in tier 1. EG aint gonna make a move after doing well. NRG would only let keith go if he wants to go back to eu and we all know they would just pick up yay if that happens. c9 aint making any moves after doing well also. 100t really only moves are to move on from stellar and maybe derrek, none of the t2 dudes r better then asuna, cryo, or bang. Sen will probably move on from sacy and pancada but that just leaves 2 spots up probably for trent and valyn. Theres literally no where else they can go.

A lot of good tier 2 players yes but if there is very few they can replace in NA and i doubt anyone will export

EG - no need for change, but Maybe poach players or pickup FA's for their reserve roster like they tried to do with Turtle Troop players to foster NA talent like they did with demon1

C9 - no need for change, they need more time and exp

NRG - no need for change, no one in tier 2 can replace these players, even ardiis. marved contract with sen ends this year and yay is FA but that is a pipe deam

SEN - probably the most unpredictable one, sacy pancada came for the money so i doubt they leave, tenz contract is ending, but him staying might be dependant on how he and they do in LCQ / Champs. Marved might leave as well

100T is a weird case, they have strong players that have proven to be good with insane potential, but once sgares left they look lost. They all also underperformed this season, so Do they replace the coach or the players? its more complex

no need for change but I don’t think any of those teams are the best they could be
