sucks. Many "tier 2" teams would smoke most of the fraudchise teams.

maybe true for american teams, but in EU and APAC its a bigger skill gap between Tier 1 and Tier 2, thats only because NA's Talent pool is huge, thats not me saying that theres better players in Na then EU and APAC but theres alot of talent in NA Tier 2.

I'm counting Brazil too, not only NA(Furia almost lost to 2 t2 teams, and mibr got destroyed). I don't believe in Asia there are a giga gap too(besides EDG, DRXand PRX). I think there are max 3 teams in each region that are one step ahead.

Its just NA tier 2 teams being better lol. MXS, OXG, M80 clears tier 1 NA teams. EU APAC and CN Tier 2 are far behind Tier 1 teams. I already saw how crazy that OXG was destroying PRX FNATIC and DRX IN SCRIMS.

EU T2 was close to T1 last year, apeks was a prime example of that.

T1 teams have now picked up alot of T2 players in emea.

We have to wait and see what the T2 emea rosters look like before we can say anything (besides fireflux have been cooking)

yeah them choosing franchise teams based on their money success and background made it more worth to have clout/money> skill

I mean T2 isn't second grade players or upcoming players like what T2 usually is, because of franchising T2 is just the T1 players that just weren't preferred by teams to have in T1, the difference isn't that big and almost every player in T2 realistically is a T1 player mechanically, at least in NA (I only know about their T2, apac was one sided, Apeks and Mates were really strong tho)
