do you think that yay would join any of the franchise team next year?

yay is a main duelist, and on NA rn, the main duelist that are in the franchise teams are:

ardiis
demon1
TenZ
Leaf
Cryo

There's no way they swap ardiis, demon1, and Leaf for yay, they're still doing good in their teams. and TenZ is too big of a brand for SEN to be let go for yay, and the only left is cryo, which I could kinda see happening but it gonna depends on his performance at LCQ

Unless he wants to play somewhere else or widens his agent pool to become a init/duelist there's a chance that we might not see yay in franchising next year

Prayge NA win ascension and he gets picked up. I agree it doesn't really make sense replacing any of these people unless ardiss bombs the rest of the season (he wont)

Yay doesnt fit in sen. Yay needs a system, tenz doesnt.

The sen framework is the same as dsg’s and thats why yay sucks.

Yay goes to eu or something most probably.

i only see him on MIBR or maybe KOI..

his playstyle is very difficult to incorporate into a team that needs an aggressive entry duelist and the team must be able to set him up really well for him to succeed. he NEEDS to widen his agent pool or maybe even switch to pure sentinel (based off of his aimstyle, would be pretty suitable). mce himself said that if he had yay on his team, yay would be playing sentinel.

yeah... honestly, I don't know of teams still gonna think that yay is good to build around, yay's agent pool is not that big. I hope at least yay would still be around for T2 because man, this is one of the biggest fall off of an esports player I have ever seen and it's sad 😭

tbh I think ardiis underperforms and yay goes to NRG next year

The only possible among those is Yay to NRG, but I doubt they replace Ardiis and I hope not :3

I think ardiis is still doing fine, NRG is the best NA team with him, yeah he's not the "star" player like ppl thought he is when he replaced yay but I don't think NRG's gonna gamble it on yay again, unless FNS really trust yay and thinks that yay's still got it

not really a gamble, yay was peak with fns on envy and peak with them on optic. his performances never faltered while they were together just when he was pugging in t3
if optic started falling off a cliff near the end of 2022 i would understand but they didn't

the problem was his jett after the dash nerf, his jett is simply not that good compared to his chamber.

Keith > yay

Yay just isn't the same on Jett anymore tbh.

I think he got too used to chamber playstyle and is now finding it hard to go back to jett

honestly, I don't know why people thinks that his jett is good because he used to rekt ppl on masters berlin when in fact he only used jett like 5 times after the dash nerf, and his jett is not that great after the nerf

If bleed wins pacific ascension I believe that there is a serious chance of yay going to bleed.

KOI has other structural problems that isn't just lacking a solid duelist they need to fix first

tenz is the only duelist on that list that has been worse than yay this year so it’s either EU or nothing for yay

Yay is not rejoining C9, they won't take him back. C9 is solid.
Cryo is more professional and less expensive than Yay, 100T don't need him.
EG is not replacing Demon1 with Yay, everyone at this point knows Demon1 > Yay.
NRG might not take Yay in since him and FNS had a small fallout after OpTic back then, but who knows if NRG will fall short in VCT Masters/Champions and let go of Ardiis in the future.
TenZ can be moved to a 6th spot as a CC streamer for SEN, and have the money to buy Yay and also rebuild his clout if he performs well again. SEN most likely option imo but Yay is straight up washed on Jett. We'll see how he does after the Chamber changes.

yay has a place on a T1 team in my pov, maybe as a sixth player kind of in a "bet" way, bc honestly DSG never really had a chance, you can't just plug a good player in a bad team and expect it to work
