Hot take for each team
GE, Bleed, Talon does better than expected.
DFM - none, need better coach.
Paper Rex doesn't make it to Masters, T1 or DRX clutch up in lower bracket.
RRQ pull up with many upsets
DRX & T1 makes it to Masters
ZETA, GEN G, and TS had a mid season (prob like 3-6, 4-5, 5-4 type shit not entirely too bad, early elimination too prob)
PRX - f0rsakeN is extremely overrated as a flex player, and he isn't even the best flex player on his team. playing a lot of different agents isn't as important as good as mastering a lot of different agents. thats what made d4v41 a better player than f0rsaken last year. i would actually argue that f0rsakeN was only PRX's 4th best player last year after d4v41, smth, and jinggg in that order.
DRX - their roster changes are going to fall flat. the only thing that can make DRX a true title contender is putting BuZz on flex (raze kayo KJ) and getting a proper duelist player like stew or Sayaplayer

tf u on bro? if you said f0rsaken is overrated as a flex player I can accept that
but saying he isn't even the best flex player on his team is such a goofy statement

This is the definition of a good hot take. Can’t say I would agree personally but there’s definitely an argument to be had. So many people just write some random opinion that isn’t even a hot take on this site.

why is d4v41 not the best flex on the team for you? he's easily the best flex on the team for me. to explain, i want you to understand that my criteria for being a good flex isn't necessarily how large your agent pool is, but how effective you are at the agents in your pool

i like to think my hot takes are good because they irritate people while being embedded in truth. after T1 flopped at LOCK IN i very confidently said they would make it to tokyo and they did exactly that, looking pretty impressive

I agree with your statement being a good flex is about how effective you are at the agent pool. But for me, f0rsakeN brought the creativity for the team (like the harbor strat on bind, cypher on lotus, yoru on bind, etc)
He flexes his agent pool to fulfill PRX goofy comps thats why I still see him as the best flex on the team
But yea about the 4th best player last year maybe ur right, he's been inconsistent most of the time especially when it matters the most

buzz is one of the best and stable duelist i have ever seen so if anything, get a proper flex to replace rb but i guess DRX has a plan for 2024.
I think forsaken himself said that he prefers playing and focusing on a single role so prx might change things up in 2024

It really doesn't feel like DRX have a plan. To me it looked like they dropped Zest and Rb on a whim.

buzz is a good duelist, don't get me wrong, but he's just better on flex. he was looking incredibly dangerous at Tokyo and Pacific League whenever Foxy played
Jitu [#19]buzz is a good duelist, don't get me wrong, but he's just better on flex. he was looking incredibly dangerous at Tokyo and Pacific League whenever Foxy played
The team always worked better when he was on duelist tho. At least in terms of results
danii1 [#20]The team always worked better when he was on duelist tho. At least in terms of results
mainly because Foxy was dogshit, and less because of him being bad at flex

true, i feel like drx is lucky to have buzz who can be on any role. I think it depends on how much foxy plays well cos he can be very hot but also VERY cold.
Nachtel [#5]xcurrate will be really good for the start of the season but his static agent pool will slowly become a hindrance as more and more teams get used to T1's playstyle
they have xeta on the bench so it shouldn't be that bad
trikecycle [#25]Loving the RRQ appreciation in this thread
I think they can make Madrid and pull an upset there
I've been on the RRQ train since Jemkin and Estrella were signed. I think they have a really high ceiling to reach.
