Rosters that couldve won but broken apart

#1

What are some rosters that yall think had huge potential but were broken apart because of franchising, org issues, player issues, etc. Some that come to my mind include 2022 Gambit(nats, deffo, Sheydos, Chronicle, Redgar), 2023 EG(c0m, Demon1, Ethan, Boostio, jawgemo), 2022 Optic(FNS, crashies, Victor, Marved, yay). There is probably more, but I'm curious as to what all think.

same NRG that holds onto an offseason event when they've never won a trophy

NATS in those 10 matches during berlin has a bigger legacy in valorant than the entirety of your flair smh

optic wasnt winning shit in 2023 LOUD FNC EG PRX all clear without chamber meta

D3ff0 wasn't going to be suitable going into 2022, and lets just be honest, their individual performances on M3C weren't good

EG woulda won every event this year had they kept form tho, insane team

disagree with m3c.

D3ffo wasnt good anymore but there are plenty of CIS players who couldve replaced him in 2023
M3C werent that good because of two reasons, d3ffo fell off and the chamber meta, nats and chronicle were okay chamber players but not top their class. many times they needed to flex off role in the meta. nats astra, chronicle chamber and raze. and lets be honest, chronicle has a good raze but not that of a top duelist.

also reminder that m3c lacked early season scrims, and had a horrible schedule for the first masters.

IDK if this is a controversial take or not but Gambit would not win it all if their roster stayed together

They dont have a chamber player nAts was cool but realistically not one was a cracked chamber player on the team

EG 2023 would have won every event in 2024.
They were the best team of all time.

Those were the early days, and Potter was improving the team every day.
2024 was set to be our year, and we were going to be unbeatable. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.

The team was pretty bad before they got the second roster, I ain't gonna lie. If there's anything you could credit for them going from getting 13-0'd to winning Champs, it's the fact that they have a 10 man roster. They've credited it a ton themselves, and a bunch of people have made videos explaining why as well. (Not saying EG was a bad team—the players were and are still quality players—but they were never going to win everything, especially not without all 10 men)
