Kapi and Chay were a bit unlucky on their previous teams sometimes you just need to find the right one, but tbh since a while ago a lot of the players dramatically improved. Marin/Malinho especially suprised me with how crazy good his stats were in qualifiers and all year in Premier he was easily the best player on NFX this year despite all the roster changes they made, he seems way more comfortable now flexing, his apr is kinda insane ngl.
Ken probably just needs time on Crest he was a super late addition to the team.
I know that Okinawa could be a risky pr move but also the community itself seems devided on him, but if he is legit which tbf Riot said it means that he is probably the biggest Japanese talent Valorant has seen in a long time, the dude is casually dominating Meiy everytime he faces him in ranked while he sings and screams on streams, he seems like a funny guy.
Zeta definitely wants more teams to have eyes on their talent since their previous trainees have been incredible like Aace and Yatsuka. But tbh they might not even need to release them since Academy teams are allowed next year to participate in Challengers, DFM also has tried creating one but I haven't seen a full player announcement yet.
