i genuinely think this is the best NA team possible and no team would beat this in terms of firepower + roles.
Aspas (duelist)
s0m (smokes)
N4RRATE (flex + secondary duelist)
Verno (initiator)
JohnQT (viper + senti)
AstroGalaxy [#2]MY DREAM NA TEAM:
FNS
s0m
Zekken
Aspas (duelist)
Mazino (flash int)
i like this too, the only doubt i would have is mazino. yes he is in GREAT form right now, but he's not 100% in this form. but if mazino keeps up form your roster is dangerous
seofps [#3]i like this too, the only doubt i would have is mazino. yes he is in GREAT form right now, but he's not 100% in this form. but if mazino keeps up form your roster is dangerous
def top 2 every split if mazino keeps form
BulkyLettuce [#5]s0m? i know hes your fav streamer but relax
hes played 4 games this year
#1 NA player in 2023, top 3 smokes player of 2023, top mechanical player, great game sense, and he is disciplined. who could replace him as a smokes player on NA besides Valyn? def not bang or vanity
Demon1_The_GOAT [#7]Demon1
Valyn
Trent
Ethan
LeafProbably the only team that can oppose your godly NA team.
would def love to see this too. i personally love ethan trent and demon1 as players

2023
wake up bro its 2024 where he couldn't even bomb out of playoffs he bombed in regular season

valyn (smokes,igl)
JonahP (flash init)
leaf (senti)
eeiu (info init)
i like this variation too since valyn can play smokes and igl. personally i see a higher ceiling for players like n4rrate and verno compared to jonah and eeiu since verno and n4rrate are more flexible and arguably are mechanically better

s0m (Main smoke)

FNS doesn't cut it anymore i would rather have valyn, qt or even king
spe4rch [#16]FNS doesn't cut it anymore i would rather have valyn, qt or even king
I would happily replace FNS with Valyn or Johnqt
BulkyLettuce [#14]2023
wake up bro its 2024 where he couldn't even bomb out of playoffs he bombed in regular season
they had less than a month to prepare and played the top teams of americas? also anyone who hasnt played on stage in 9 months wouldnt be the same right away. everyone knows what s0m is capable of and is a 100% a better player than mf

wouldnt valyn clash w s0m roles wise

you might be braindead.
seofps [#21]you might be braindead.
went 1/4 this year and is the best controller in americas? stop projecting you are the braindead one
seofps [#19]wouldnt valyn clash w s0m roles wise
Pick up leaf, this team needs a senti player anyway
BulkyLettuce [#23]went 1/4 this year and is the best controller in americas? stop projecting you are the braindead one
one player alone can't win a match or qual for a tournament unless you are aspas. and im not saying he's the best at the moment its obv valyn, im saying he was once the best so he can obv come back due to his other skills that we know he has
Ok so hear me out here. I got a banger. In true dream team fashion no double ups
-Smokes Demon1 (Brim jail for life, with a side of omen), man was always a cracked brim (and some astra) and his time on NRG showed he's in the Tenz, Cryo role where they're cracked at holding an angle and getting some timings but can't entry or have the flexibility across multiple duelists to play primary.
-Sentinal/igl JohnQT, I think he just edges out king but its more of a coinflip but no double ups and well you can't have an americas dream team without Aspas
-Initiator Heat, Honestly just the correct answer. Bros the best thing that could happen to KRU after Keznit joined
-Duelist, Aspas, Self explanatory move on
-Flex initiator , JonahP, Hopefully man can function outside of the G2 System if not it's probs over but like it's that or double up igls with saadhak

hmm i like the demon1 idea a lot actually, but can he be better than like s0m in time?
also how good is heat actually, when i've watched him in games he wasn't "OUTSTANDING"
and jonahp is a 50 50 some games he plays perfectly but other games he is ehhhh
Ardiis_Le_Tits [#30]There will be no na dream team. Look at nrg this year. On paper, they really look like the best team on NA then the result says otherwise
not really tbh. marved crashies and victor were all washed by the start of this year as in not world class because obviously they were good players. if beginning of 2024 NRG had diff players than the optic core it couldve been a dream team.

Honestly turning old jett players that never learned how to hold w or play raze into smokes players is a tried and tested science at this point. But also jett players that never quite figure out how to play raze raze is a very NA only kinda issue. I mean Tenz, Cryo, Demon1 and Yay all went from absolutely nuclear when they could just sit hold an angle on escape agents to just kinda useless placid and unimpactful on raze
BulkyLettuce [#20]everyone knows what s0m is capable of and is a 100% a better player than mf
wrong, it isnt 2023 anymore, its 2024 wake up
hes a streamer not a pro
he’s a pro lol hes not leaving nrg
AstroGalaxy [#2]MY DREAM NA TEAM:
FNS
s0m
Zekken
Aspas (duelist)
Mazino (flash int)
I really like this roster but aspas and Mazino aren't NA (Brazil and Chile respectively)
BulkyLettuce [#23]went 1/4 this year and is the best controller in americas? stop projecting you are the braindead one
Statistically he was the 6th highest rated player in Split 2, behind only aspas, kiNgg, Mazino, zekken, and eeiu
cloudberry [#37]Statistically he was the 6th highest rated player in Split 2, behind only aspas, kiNgg, Mazino, zekken, and eeiu
if you didnt even make playoffs your statistics dont matter, way too small of a sample size of 4 games to even be considered in the conversation
seofps [#25]one player alone can't win a match or qual for a tournament unless you are aspas. and im not saying he's the best at the moment its obv valyn, im saying he was once the best so he can obv come back due to his other skills that we know he has
agree. with the correct team and sufficient practice time s0m can definitely go back or even beat his prime
BulkyLettuce [#23]went 1/4 this year and is the best controller in americas? stop projecting you are the braindead one
are u stupid? clearly you havent seen him play at all, cs and valorant hes been absolutely insane on stage in almost every match/tournament hes played, hes constantly got a high rating and is up there mechanically with most other duelists from na and even other regions in my opinion. And if you've seen any of his streams you'll know that he can also play almost every single role really well.
