Honestly i dont think the difference is that big. Obviously the top teams in t1 are 1000x better than any t2 team. But, the best teams from t2 are probably middle of the pack if not better in most t1 leagues. I would argue Apeks for instance should be coming into EMEA next year as a top 6 team at least.
Watching Ascension is making me realize that good players and ideas are not missing, the problem is actually climbing the ladder to the top through all the difficulties of competing and lack of incentive. Maybe you think thats obvious but seeing how many ass teams we had on t1 this year was making me question things
Brasil is a good example. We have SO MANY good players that literally 0 people outside of here know and meanwhile FURIA has some blood-pact with Mwzera and Khalil because they cant be dropped no matter what
i pray 2G does good and however gets picked up from t2 absolutely owns again in 2025 like Karon and N4rrate did this year because there is NO WAY orgs dont go find the t2 treasures out there eventually if this keeps up
