in what world does NRG and EG make it but not the above?
someone educate me pls
NRG have a huge financial background, owned by companies that own multiple top esport and traditional sport franchises, dominant in OWL, so they were always a contender to get in as they're a huge org. Rosters don't mean shit as rostermania is coming around.
Evil Geniuses are albeit not as large of an org as TSM and T1 but the other two have spotty records in terms of management, so EG would be a more stable org as they've been around forever in the sport. Probably just a reliable pick. Same thing regarding roster as mentioned in NRG.
Maybe i still live on the past, but isn't EG a big (or maybe one of the biggest) orgs of NA? At least they were in the past. The only "recent" thing i know about them is that they have a partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
NRG for me was a question mark, but as far as i read, they have a lot of financial investment.
