tracker shows that all 5 of them were playing in EU ranked 2-3 weeks ago https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/2G%20sileNt8z%23mari/overview
thought it was of note, since they were definitely able to get higher quality scrims in the t2 "offseason" compared to NA (m80 bootcamped in toronto)
Morikoe [#3]please man we gotta stop caring in the end of the day m80 still lost sadly
lmfao what im just saying it was probably a smart decision from them and something other americas teams could look into in the future for ascension so they can get better scrims
novato1 [#4]Are you saying that EU rankeds are better than scrims with NA tier 1 teams?
Probably can't lie, season is over and most teams are using scrims as trials for new players so the strats are extremely low rn.

blud has the brain of a mouse

im saying that EU t2 has more scrims with better teams (emea ascension had wayyy more teams) and most teams in americas stopped playing right after the challengers leagues stopped.

But are you comparing Toronto, a city with an EU that is an entire continent? Obviously there would be more teams

EU rankeds are better than the ones here in brasil, so it makes sense for them to go there to gain more experience. now, i'm not absolutely sure if they trained with the teams there or just played the ranked ones...

emea ascension was going on for a long time, and with more teams. These teams needed to scrim teams that weren't other ascension teams (to avoid leaking strats). this means that 2G could've scrimmed pretty much all of them and gotten more experience.
In contrast, in NA, it was probably only premier teams and very early trials actually scrimming. this means that the teams in emea had higher scrim quality.

aaaaah now it makes sense. thanks!
i have commented on this on another post but it doesnt matter which t2 is better, the benefit of bootcamping in europe is the vastly different style and experience of trainning.
it develops a wider array of tactics and familiarity with unfamiliar playstyles, it helps to develop adaptation and midrounding.
overall, it was a great move from 2G to bootcamp there

Also all the ascension teams in Europe would want to scrim them not the same in americas
