I was just thinking how KCP would be a perfect destination for these 2. With Oderus joining V1, KCP will need an IGL and a sentinel and, as far as secondary duelists go, scourge is definitely not the best in NA. Stellar is a sentinel main(I mean tbf he has played every agent other than yoru in pro games so he can play anything) IGL and thief is a great secondary duelist. Plus, they already have played with fiziq when he was on their Mixup/LG team in the early days of Valorant. Also, KCP are out of LCQ so they don't need to worry about the rest of this year anyways. I think if they add Thief and stellar that they could definitely qualify for LCQ next year and maybe if they replace skuba with a great sentinel or smoke main(maybe someone like Stani or thwifo), they could even have a shot at qualifying to Champions next year.
Thief and Stellar
I think having jmoh instead of scourge would be better though. Personally, I think jmoh is the better player(I'm not 100% sure tho) and the roles work better if they have jmoh instead of scourge since jmoh is a jett main and because thief plays pretty much exclusively reyna with a bit of cypher and phoenix. Also I think that would be why they would have a shot at champions next year(It would still be unlikely), because I think they would have great chemistry and work well together. They would have some pretty good individual skill but them chemistry would be what would make them a good team.
Val isn't 1 for 1 comparisons, old ABX has an IGL and has way more fragging power. Plus your rankings are off anyway, Yay would way outfrag Jmoh and is by far the best guy here, Stani and Thwifo are much better sups than Skuba(saying that because they aren't gonna be getting Jcstani) and Mada is better than thief. I still don't get why people jerk off thief so much on this site, almost every stat favors mada and mada also passes the eye check as a duelist and an initiator.
I mean on paper NRG should be a top 8 team competing for everything, but they are not. Plus Andbox was legitimately a top 5 level team but 1. they only played together for a few matches and 2. They should've beat TSM if Stani didn't have the worst map of his career. I'm not saying this team is as good as that ABX team, I'm saying that ABX got unlucky and were a brand new roster and that this roster, would be good enough to make LCQ and with luck on their side, they could qualify for Champions. Obviously this is all hypothetical and all but I just wanted to say that Thief and Stellar would fit like a glove on KCP. This team's strength would be it's team work, not it's firepower necessarily(even though they would have some good firepower), whereas Andbox was the other way around since they only had Stani for a bit and then just added thwifo in before Chal 2. I honestly think that if that Andbox team was given more time, that they would be a top 5 team in NA but now we'll never know since ABX gave them 1 tournament lmao.
