I have seen a decent bit of M80 and TSM, M80 look very good, TSM seems a bit streaky but they definitely have a chance. I haven't seen any BR and Latam teams, are they pretty strong or is it gonna be another NA team making up to Tier 1?
nobody___100 [#2]its gonna be another NA team
I wonder if M80 win if they make roster moves or stick with these 5
regalicera [#4]unfortunately ascension will be pretty unbalanced towards NA's favor for the next year or two while the teams that were always t1 level (m80 etc) make it up, then once the talent pool has been reset hopefully its more competitive between the three subregions
they still get the advantage of being able to scrim with tier 1 teams, no?
Most likely than not NA is gonna take the spot, but this years M80 and TSM look not as good as last years M80 and TGRD.
And so I think LATAM has a real chance now, RETA is quite good and was able to scrim against Tier 1 teams this year, as for AK I think they're quite good too.
I don't really know anything about the BR teams tho.
Nef0r0 [#5]they still get the advantage of being able to scrim with tier 1 teams, no?
South American teams? no they don't. they're too far away from NA servers for that to be realistic

Since franchising centralized the location to LA, LATAM and BR teams can't actually scrim against them without reasonable lag or a costly trip

the NA teams. even if the talent pool is reset, NA talent get the opportunity to scrim vs tier 1, SA won't have that

oh well yes, that's always going to be a disadvantage for us unfortunately
