What does that mean? By defn, it's a superteam when all the players are considered one of the best 'individually' in their respective roles!

I agree, but I would argue that Valorant tends to punish teams that aim for hero plays once you go internationally.

Even now, I wonder if there's still a language barrier that prevents Lev from being the best it can be.

they all comm in english when c0m and tex are alive, if they’re both dead then they comm in spanish, im pretty sure aspas knows spanish well, i don’t think there’s a language barrier, if anything it would be a chemistry issue but im sure they all got to know each other well to this point

If anything that's even more of a sign that there's a language barrier. Switching to another language the moment you aren't required to use it means you aren't fully comfortable in the original language.

Actually when c0m and tex die, they speak in portuguese, and when only kingg and mazino are alive they speak in spanish, it's amazing btw

c0m has literally been better than Trent recently. Also current form c0m >= nzr so we will see if he can keep playing well

No man. Aspas is a Superstar. The rest are not. Kingg is just a Star, he's a hit or miss. The rest are all unreliable and depends on Aspas Kingg carrying them.
C0M Tex Mazino are not considered Star players so LEV is not a "Superteam". Let's get that clear.

fnatic, lev, navi, 1st stage NRG are superteams... as their players were already elite players b4 joining them

2022 loud, prx, drx, and geng are normal teams as their players became top players as they played for them

2023 eg i would say they're a superteam bcos they had 9 players

"superteam" isn't a compliment lil bro actually superteams like fnatic are cringe

2022 loud isn't a superteam as aspas, pancada and less weren't elite players they became elite after proving themselve through loud

ok then they're a cringe superteam like flukenatic

BRA71L needed to build a superteam with their best players cos they couldn't compete against chadmea and north chadmerica with a normal team

happy now?

They're not. They just simply have the GOAT in the team.

A super team would be based off of the players' past accomplishments and potential. Tex was a Tier 2 player, Kinggg always had great potential but didn't do much in an international LAN event. C0M is the only one with something to his name while also being very important in EG's win last year (though this year in comparison he's fallen off quite a bit). I don't think anyone called Mazino one of the the best in any conversation.

So in conclusion, they have arguably the GOAT in the team followed by another decent player and past world champion, that's it. They're just a team that managed to play as a team better than anyone else.

The only real super team has been the first NRG team which has already changed.

if they were a superteam (which they're not), aspas could have off days.

yes and no depends on who you ask;

for example, some consider a superteam to be a squad made of already proven star players in that case it'd be NRG or LOUD 2022

others might say a superteam is a team where all players could shine in their own and are some of the best in their respective roles, current LEV falls into this category with all their players (even c0m) performing to a really high level
