they have talent in T2 they choose not to pick them up they either pick up korean players or russian players and recycle the pre existing T1 talent until they are 40 with dementia
Talent was least of issues for most of our teams it looked like they just didn't prepare anything whole off-season. I looked at EMEA and Americas and then at Pacific and the difference this year has been wider maybe other regions improved more but honestly our SEA teams were trying wacky ideas and plays just for the sake of it just like PRX keeps doing. I hope we wake up and start playing Valorant with little more structure or we would be left behind by Korea and other regions obviously
