bro no…. there’s maybe 2 people mechanically ready for tier 2/1 , flor and bob, flor mechanically is definitely tier 1, but her brain isn’t ready for it and bob already played Tier2/3 with soniqs before GC , mel maybe ready as a igl for a lower tier 2 team but no one else on your list is on a vct level
he didnt say they could succeed but said they might be able to make it. Flor has insane aim and could be mistaken as a franchised player if u showed a random clip of a pro and then flor. I could see mel or flor reaching tier 2 but def not tier 1. The chance that a gc player will play in tier 2 male in the next 3 years is probably below 80%
litearlly.... most of the GC prodigys are all young and still have to learn the game at a higher level, GC and Tier 2/3 is completly different and harder then GC, and once we see them play at that level then we can judge if theyre ready, so you could litearlly say none of the GC players are ready brain wise, but mechanically some are ready.
florecesnt VRL but probably has the highest potential / room for development and is a real talent and should probably end up playing in the main scene at some point.
meL could probably have hung in tier 3 at a HUGE push maybe VCL one of the lower lower end teams (maybe) during chamber meta but would probably struggle now.
I don't know about the non EU/NA GC scenes so can't comment there, I'm sure there's others which have more potential but if you look at many of the results against like college teams they struggle more often than not, unknown mixes are always close, then tier 3 teams they win like one in 20 maps, it's definately progress but people are often deluded about how good the GC scene is right now.
It's definately going in the right direction though but many players skills look over inflated because of what they're actually playing against, equally there's other less obvious qualities and experience they'll posses playing under a big organisation.
tl;dr
Flor high potential very good.
Almost everyone else not as good as people think.
Likely to posses inter team relationships, professionalism, physcology etc.
Many (I'd go as far as saying 1000s per region) of unknown non GC players could do it better if given the same support / platform.
GC is a positive thing but there's a long way to go and at somepoint you would expect more from the actual players and teams (not the orgas, or the fans, or the coaches, or who ever but the actual players).
VCT: SMG Enerii, alexy. These 2 destroyed T1 Xccurate and fl1pzjder in duo ranked 13-3 or 13-6 in radiant/immo3 ranked like 2 weeks ago. Just another example of APAC ranked demons, no difference compared to male pros.
VCL: EDG Lizhi, Yusin. Earlier in start of 2023 b4 signed to EDG GC, these 2 were part of the oxygenious that took part in tournament against other big CN org and managed to get a win, b4 eventually eliminated. Lizhi can play all duelist + chamber whilst Yusin has been a very consistent smoker.
VCL: Fennel Mint, she can be found in some JP pro player streams
