Opinion on yay and Bleed

For yay: this is the best move he couldve made, i mean imagine being a pro player at the top, then playing a singular match in franchising only to get dropped and go down to challengers. ONLY TO LOSE 9 MATCHES IN A ROW. the fact that he managed to get a roster in tier 1 again is CRAZY but the fact that he MOST likely got the bag for it as well is beyond crazy.

for bleed: i genuinely believe that no matter who they picked up in this roster instead of yay, they wouldve been able to get top 5 easily in pacific. The rest of the bleed roster is stacked and they got enough support behind em to reach the top without a doubt in my mind.

what im worried about is that youre adding an outlier to a team that wouldve already been good... take a look at any imports in valorant history it has NOT worked out well
Adris joins nrg.. that should explain my point on its own
cned joins fpx.. this one isnt an import but it still disrupted their synergy
sacy and pancada go to sentinels.... 2 champion level players reduced to ordinary players
Stuff like this doesnt work out because of chemistry, synergy, teamwork, team culture, team coms
import player is gonna be homesick, in a region theyve never been, in a culture they have no familiarity with, speaking with players that doesnt have english as their native language
when youre building a team, you should be taking into account, whether theyll get along (prior exp playing tg), play similar playstyles/has a similar mind when it comes to playing the game (certain regions have VASTLY different playstyles, and if youre someone like yay who likes to play in a certain way, i just hope the coach/igl also wants to play that way), ability to adapt/get familiar with the rest of the roster.

listen im sure theyll be fine and i come across as a hater but i hope stuff like this doesnt become the new normal

tldr: teams should priorities team chem over dropping the bag for star level players across the world

when it comes to yay, i think his drive to play was on such a level that he would've gone anywhere to play. so, i don't think homesickness will be too much of a problem.

as for team chemistry, yay has trialed with the team for quite some time, so BLEED has at least a general feel of the team chemistry. the team also has months before the season officially starts.

another point to add is that yay provides insight from one of the previously best teams in NA (Optic) and has a winner's mentality.

also to talk about your language barrier point: correct me if i'm wrong, but the previous BLEED roster with nephh and Juicy was also speaking English.

i do think your points do hold some value but overall i think yay is just the right fit for BLEED.

what im worried about is that youre adding an outlier to a team that wouldve already been good

The outlier you added is the coldest motherfucker in the game though

y0y will do good trust

Sacy and Pancada are still on SEN I wouldn't use them as examples for "imports not working"

we call y0y if he miss shot no?

import player is gonna be homesick, in a region theyve never been, in a culture they have no familiarity with, speaking with players that doesnt have english as their native language>

you know no matter what league you play in youre going to be home sick ? Brazilians and SA people had to move to LA, same for APAC and eu

Bleed winning champions
