Another super interesting change happening in MENA.
OuTLaW has decided to retire, regarded as the greatest IGL in MENA valorant.
His replacement being izuki from the academy line up.
Unsure who is going to be the IGL going forward, although it seems like it will be KHaalid.
GCC + IRAQ: A lot of promising players are emerging from MENA recently, especially from the GCC region.
Akai, is still probably the biggest rising star with the 17 year old having huge success in the region.
Exit, 17, has also had a good season individually for twisted minds.
mabuchi, 18, Qatari player played an important role in helping his team reach top 3 in his region.
LEVANT + NA: A few young domestic players , mostly Egyptian, popping up in what has become an import filled region.
yassien, at 16 years old and finally being able to participate he has been a promising spark in what has been a disappointing season for RAAD.
Next closest would probably be block, who is 16, and black, who is 17, both of which primarily playing smokes.
ASCENSION:
The format for ascension qualification has the top 2 teams from the subregion compete at a Lan with the top 2 then making ascension.
LEVANT + NA: Is likely to both R8 / NASR , both teams have a lot of strong CIS players.
GCC + IRAQ: Falcons and probably the The Ultimates, both have been the most consistent contenders in the region.
MENA LAN FINALS: There is a real possibility that it might be both LEVANT teams, it really depends on how good this new falcons roster looks.
