Actually the most fluke team in the world
Not Gambit, not Fnatic, not Optic

You are wrong, they did roster changes and it is not even the roster that they won Champions. When you make a roster change nothing is guaranteed and if you ask me they should have kept Bonecold and only remove Kiles.
vakk is forced to be igl and it won't work, if vakk was working hard enough like boaster on his igl role (tactical stuff, setups) Acend can get better. But they just need time.
Acend's core has been together for a year until they won Champions. It is not like you can build teams in a month and hope for success in short time
