Keeping your core together

#1

Huge2eggroll

If you think about the teams that have been successful this year, it's all teams that kept (at least) 3 man cores together
Fnatic: Derke, Boaster, Alfajer
Loud: Aspas, Less, Saadhak
EG: Boostio, Jawgemo, C0m(Demon1 helped a lot but these 3 have been together for a long time)
NRG: FNS, Victor, Crashies
Paper Rex: kept original roster(Forsaken, Jingg, Davai, Mindfreak, and Benkai and added Something)
DRX(to a lesser extent): kept whole roster and added Foxy9
Even EDG(to a lesser extent): have been together ever since China first had pro teams(only the replacement of life)

All the best teams are teams that have stayed together mostly to keep chemistry and coordination strong
Even some Duo teams like Liquid(who kept Jamppi and Soulcas and added another duo:NAts and Redgar) have seen success because their structures were super strong

Sentinel think they can gather good players in one team and got good result🥱
Its been like that for 2 whole years and I dont think they learn something from that

I do think that Sen and 100T should try to keep some kind of core going into the next year of vct

i personally think bang cryo and stellar, despite being on the og 100T roster i dont think he is that worth anymore, having a igl in a core is much better it brings stability to the core as bang and cryo wouldnt have to adapt to a new way of calling by someone else

stellar isnt that great as igl and aim wise, and they need flex like asuna

The M80 core is still out there and they have been together since 2021 when they were known as ghost, so maybe poaching them may work but that's an iffy fix

i mean if they want to sen could stick with tenz, zekken, and marved. But I have a feeling marved not gonna stay or become the 6th man

i mean im gold so i dont get an opinion but i think marved has so much potential if they can get a better igl tbh, hes way better at lurking

yeah they need an igl so marved is free to play. sadly the only igl I can think is flyuh. I heard rumours that m80 was gonna stay together.

if i’m m80 im trying to get signed as a core to a team that didnt place well tbh
but yeah getting a good tier IGL is tough for the niche they need.

No, this is just cherry picking. Kru, mibr, 100t, kc, vit, TLN, and more kept most of their rosters and had little success.
