Could shahzam be in franchising next year

All the teams are budgeting now and shahzam has said he doesn’t care about how much they pay and he also wants to compete
ngl he ain’t bad so it might be possible

He’s one of the better initiators in t2 NA, carried G2 in some maps.

People shit on him for..well…doing really bad. But G2 placed second during the first split and it all went to shit.

I don’t think he’s able to solo call anymore but having him as a secondary caller in addition to being a recon flex is better than most

he should go back to t2
I don't think he's good enough for franchising but I agree the only players who looked like they were ready for t2 on that roster were oxy and him
I think if he had a decent 5 and he proved he is a good IGL and leader again he deserves to come back up

If mfs like newzera can get on franchising, shahzam certainly can

Yea I think that’s the correct take, but the question is if that’s even worth it. He’s carving into a specific niche you’d have to build a team around, & I don’t really think the downside of having to build around that niche is worth for what he brings to the table

Him and OXY looked good on g2. I think shahzam isn't the missing piece for anyone, but at the same time is a solid pickup for any team if surrounded by high level talents.

Shahz should have stuck with Jett as he is legitimately a top OPer. He was the top AWPer in NA CSGO at one point but his overall CSGO ability was weak.

He is an average rifler in Valorant. There are plenty of players who can do what Shahz does on initiator.

I mean NA needs 5 igls:

Best options are for sure FNS, valyn, johnqt and EG will keep boostio

That leaves room for one more, and shahzam could be the next best alongside flyuh

After how much people were talking about MxM in scrims I think Flyuh's higher on my list tbh

I hope so, he's really motivated and while maybe his calls aren't on point 100%, I'm sure he'll be back on top with practice and a good coach.

He's really solid as an initiator as well, so even if it's not as an IGL, I'd say he's got what it takes to be in franchising.
