Why do you think this is the case that so many players have to be made into igls instead of having dedicated ones even if t1 orgs weren't so stubborn with their igls where have the dedicated igls gone

except vitality every big talent that came in T1 for 2025 are from another region. Btw I don't want to shit on the region, I'm literally french, I wish we had the same talent pool as in CS, but it's not the case yet

Because there just aren't many dedicated IGLs out there. you can develop your own IGLs such as what FAV AC did fukuken and Zeta AC with Lefiedot, but that takes time and the process isnt pretty either. So you are probably left with assigning someone on the team who's most suited igling even though he really isn't suited to be.

most of EMEA is young players because most of the playerbase stayed with CS when they big switch happened, young players dont want to IGL

Because no one gets a chance to be proven. IGLs are always recycled. That's why I like teams that invest in academy rosters, new talent gets recognized and developed.

because nobody wants to be FNS/saadhak, ppl instead wants to be like aspas, demon1, derke etc... just like in football nobody wants to be like the keeper, attackers/midfielders are often seen as an example, those are undervalued roles, the youngsters from val don't like it and the old cs players can't compete anymore.

Yeah this feels like it but I also thought people would try to be igls to get ahead of people when trying out for teams to have a better chance to get into them or something
