Before you realize that Magnum skill is not that much better than skill of VRL players
Look at Kiles, dude won Champions and now botfrags in Giants
In fact almost everyone in tier1-tier2 EMEA Valorant scene is equal aim-wise, there are better players, there are worse players, but for the most part...
lmfao, Kiles was worst player of Acend, and he is so washed this year.. And Magnum, consistent above average fragger of Fnatic. Have lot of great pefs againts tier 1 teams https://www.vlr.gg/79075/fnatic-vs-m3-champions-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-ubsf https://www.vlr.gg/79077/fnatic-vs-funplus-phoenix-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-ubf. And If you think level of tier 1 teams aren't much higher than VRLs teams, just look at FOKUS
My point is, everything is about chemistry
Tier2 teams have bad chemistry, that's why they lose, Fokus lose, OGLU lose etc.
But if you put a player from t2 team into t1 team, he is very likely to perform due to overall much better gameplan coming from coach and teammates
Fresh example: Fearoth, (maybe) Dreamas
And vice versa, if you put a player from t1 team into t2, he's likely to not be that great, good enough, but not great
Fresh example: baddyG, Kiles, (maybe) Magnum
