With sacy pancada and the others
I cant wait to see nrg vs sen is loud vs optic
I guess it depends who you ask, but I think Liquid changes actually upgrade both Gambit and Liquid in current meta at least. Liquid finally gets proper IGL while nAts is upgrade over Nivera, while Gambit finally gets proper good OP/Chamber player actually 2 of them and I also feel like both of teams were kind of stuck and needed changes. While in the other hand LOUD was IMO better on paper than new SEN roster and same especially for OpTic. OpTic pretty much lost their arguably 2 best players and both got replaced with at least slightly worse players.
This might be biased take and ofc individual wise I would rather pick guy like Chronicle over Soulcas, but I don't think its going to make big difference. I still think these changes may fix some of TL and Gambit problems. And overall this year both LOUD and OpTic were better than TL or Gambit, but with these chances I think they are going back at least little bit while TL is in my head going to do better compared to this year. TL still might have some role problems with Jamppi and Sayf but I think one of them can flex to proper entry/flex role.
That was extremely accurate. However, the downgrade version of Optic is much better than the downgrade version of LOUD. Sentinels got only 2 LOUD's players wich did not include their IGL. Ardiis and Som are good replacements for Yay and Marved. I'm not sure if you can say the same for Zekken, Deph and Tenz, specially comparing them to Aspas, Saadhak and Less.
From what i have seen Zekken ans Tenz are both crazy (tenz a bit inconsistent) and ofc the brazilian imports are top tier I guess dephh is kind of the weakest link. In my opinion they will not win everything at the start but if they can adapt and improve they can definitely start winning tourneys again
