Korean Challengers League and Ascension

#1

nella

There are some players in the Korean Challengers League that I'm surprised aren't in franchising (names like HANN and Lakia), and some new talent that are showing a lot of promise (stew, Banger, etc...). I'd say that right now, the chances of a Korean team winning the Pacific Ascension Tournament are already pretty decent, just looking at some of the competition: only CR from Japan, and APAC teams that have been said to have promise aren't performing up to standards tbh (looking at BLEED), but MiTH looking pretty clean. If an org that is willing to invest, idk maybe DK, and pickup 5 of the best players for the next split, I think that they would have an almost guaranteed spot for franchising next year. Judging from what I've seen from the matches so far, I think that an ideal lineup would be:

HANN (duelist)
stew (flex)
yoman (controller, flex)
LuZ (sentinel, flex)
Lakia (initiator)

Thoughts?

They still use DK as their acronym tho. They're "DPlus Kia"

That's a horrible roster. Stew on flex is not it. Also they need an igl. For me personally, it would be something like
HANN (duelist)
Banger (sentinels)
Empty (igl /smoke)
Yoman (flex)
Lakia (info initiator)
The core of SDC is just way too good to not get pick up

Damn ok, well i do agree that they need an igl. Then ig dropping stew for empty would make sense, but tbh I think LuZ is more consistent than other sentinel players, although Banger is rly gud. Also I wonder if there are better alternatives to empty for igl; exy has been doing pretty well for DK, even though he's inconsistent aim wise, but that's pretty common among igls and there aren't that many top tier smokes players (this is why I thought maybe stew could try to learn smokes, it seems like hes played many different roles before despite maining duelists recently).

So maybe:

HANN (duelist)
LuZ (sentinel)
yoman (flex)
Lakia (initiator)
empty/exy (controller) {IGL}
