I think Sinatraa would be to risky because it would hurt their brand. Like it might bring some fans but it'll bring way too much bad press as well that it's not worth it probably in the long run. Especially because you would have to do it at the lcq where teams are already fully built and have had so much teamwork unlike a new team. So it'd pretty much confirm their loss this year which is not the best. Even if they showed their commitment to valorant.
I think picking up like DaZeD might be good because he has been shown to work decently, But idk if he wants to be picked up. Probably one of the better free agents that are igl's right now(He's a free agent right?). Maybe stellar would also be good. But the IGL still needs to getting kills when necessary. I just don't think Sinatraa would be the best pick. Especially when you already have some decent players and you could still rebuild with like 2 or 3 of them. I would probably also try to acquire Spyder or smth or maybe even poiz if he becomes a free agent. Honestly boi was not that trash as a player but I'm not sure if he wants to be picked up. After the roster shuffles there are still quite a few players that are pretty good. And if you have players who can do shit. I think it'll still be better than this shit.
Me picking Sinatraa was just meant to be an example of a move EG needs to do to be taken seriously in Valorant. You’re definitely correct in the baggage that comes with Sinatraa. Though if nothing else comes out, when he comes back and he’s confirmed to have taken all those programs Riot wants him to take, I think he will be picked up by a Tier 1-2 team fairly quick (like under 6 months from the time SEN announces he’s free to seek other offers) We have people like a Chris Brown in the world who are genuinely pieces of trash, but brands come running to do business, not just allegations like Sinatraa. The world forgets quickly, especially if you are talented.
I agree with your choice of DaZed. There’s almost certainly gonna be a lot of big names after Last chance Qualifiers to build a very solid Org around.
