Lack of investment. 3/12 teams in Stage 2 of the NA league were either Universities or FA Orgs. SaD and YFP only play in Valorant yet show little investment into the actual rosters besides GC. DarkZero and FLUFFY both signed FA teams and are seemingly pulling out already.

Lack of NEW talent. I don't think you name me more than 1 player that showed themselves to be promising in NA T2 this year that we didn't already know last year. Most of the teams are filled with T1 or T2 vets and then some older well known T3 players. Maybe Bones? There are so many younger players in just Americas Ascension proving themselves from South America. There are a lot of younger players in NA hitting top radiant and winning bigger tournaments in the region but they are all like 15.

I mean specifically this year. I should make that more clear so I'll edit that in. Literally all of these players except spaz I've known from last year

i dunno what to tell you brother, na tier 2 is stacked, and there are some t2 vets in there that are working hard to make it to the very top for the first time

Alvin is a great shout I think he's really good but he played all of 2 matches. Scarn and Nahsie are both like 22. I just don't think we have had that kind of player like Sato or Dantedeu that joined this season and became a menace. Certainly last season but idk man. My point is that NA hasn't really developed any new young talent this season besides maybe Spaz, bones, and the Blinn roster did pretty well for the half of a season they had.

yeah thats a problem of franchising these insane players from last year cant even get a shot in t1 so they stuck in t2, and new faces are kinda drowned out
