Is there any players that I should keep an eye on? (in particular regional ones and younger players)
Who are the biggest talents in the region?
Yes, look at LE rn. They should have replaced Lucia, Sh1vy and Rossi with Goblin Attacker players. Even LeVi who's playing with Enigma as emergency replacement should have been picked. The top orgs arent exactly recycling rn since they have 3 good Indian players and 2 imports, but they arent giving young guns chances either
I havent heard much about the russian players, though i did see engh tweet about them.
Doma/ec1s have quality, weve seen them on the international stage.
Me personally I looking forward to see tixx play, he was part of that bonkers squad that made apac challengers once. Not sure what role he will play though, hes good at both controller and init

Yk what I mean? And Spanish VCL level is quite high compared to Indian VCL
Yeah i see what you mean.
I guess time will tell.
Will be interesting to see how they stack up against the other imports.
cis is so sad rn.
so many players spread out over random leagues.
duno stuck in mena for example.
the lack of the east league is really hurting the talent pool, these players are hardly developing as the majority of them go to weaker leagues because the pay is good.
I have both of the Russians hope, Ik last year they were bottom of tier 2, but Bisk and Insider from KPI were both tier 3 the entirety of last year but rn they are some of the best players (Bisk top 2 duelist) we have on the Spanish VCL
Hvoya and flabben have had similar paths since they split up that old KPI roster, I don't think they're as good as Insider and Bisk (If they are they are gonna absolutely own), but whatever their level is I think is more than good enough to be some of the best players in this league
