are there really no teams in in NA that would sign yay?

You'd think EG would be all over that. Idk if they have the money but i'd think Yay would be willing to take a lower salary to play in a franchised team

i think the reason they are having a 10 man roster is so that they can nurture the next yay, without having to pay his fat salary(not exactly but...). eg's goal of creating new talents is much more budget friendly, and not that crazy difficult to make it come true. yay would cost as much as 5 of those players in the roster, so very unlikely(still a chance though imo coz its yay after all)

Yay needed the high salary for the amount of he buys so it's understandable

EG is the only likely one, each other team already has a player that is really good in that role, and doesn't make sense to switch up all the practice that you've had with them. Jawgemo is the only really obvious one Yay could be an upgrade for. I could also see NRG trying to pick him up since it's essentially reuniting 4 out of 5 of the old optic roster, but that wouldn't happen until next year would be my guess. His salary is probably just too high for most teams to justify.

Team Liquid is the only realistic choice for Yay if he goes to EMEA. For 3 reasons:

Team Liquid is known as NA org
Soulcas is a bot
Team Liquid is the only team that has the funds to get Yay with a good contract

KOI can fund a good contract as well

there are others like koi and giants, but you probably didnt know much about the background and shit which is okay. to sum it up there are quite a few options in emea

EMEA gives less expensive contracts, while Liquid is playing EMEA, they have been historically giving large contracts to players in other games like League. Yea, there are other options aswell.

emea pays less coz they have lesser clouts + the cost of living/expected salary is cheaper. but yea your point stands that liquid have money to spend

EMEA salaries cannot compete
The average NA franchise salaries are like 25k-40k, while only the best of the absolute best of emea, so like 3 players max, get 25k a month

there is 0 chance it's happening

a big org wont mind shifting from 15k to 30k if they can have one of the best player itw and instantly upgrade the roster

That would mean that the other players would ask for a payraise as well, only liquid/NAVI and heretics could probably afford yay

complicated as i dont know shit about player contracts. usually a guy living in russia would ask for lesser than a guy living in(from) LA even after doing relatively same work.

Yay is not one of the best players in the world, he's mid after chamber nerf, there's literally dozens cheaper and as efficient as him EMEA players available

Yay to KOI rockets them up to top 3 IMO. With Liquid looking awful and there not being a third team from EMEA in the top 8, KOI with Yay instead of Wolfen/Starxo would be favorites for third place.

Wolfen and starxo are not worse than yay, and don't require as much salary

yay is gone just as chamber is gone, he is an average tier1 player and organizations signing him for huge salary would be a waste of money

This is literally him fragging => than cned on jett versus Acend when Starxo was still their and Acend was at their peak. Even when Envy/Optic were at their lowest and Acend were at their highest he was still fragging exceptionally well on Jett.

https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/449/valorant-champions-2021?exclude=8276.8277.8278&min_rounds=90&agent=jett This is just from the group stage when Envy was ass and he was still top 2 on Jett stats for those that played substantial amounts of the character.

Eu teams would rather invest in young talents for much cheaper than get Yay who is way too expensive and not guaranteed to fit in the team
