i dont know why people are saying C9, when vanity is a really good igl and they just pick him up + Steel isn't a good player besides igling for the team
V1 is gonna get Oderus and C9B have their roster set... NRG doesn't have a good IGL or a sentinel main and they have been pretty shit lately and they are a massive org so NRG makes the most sense.
So you're saying that he would join V1 for much less money just because they are in LCQ? That's a very bad long term decision especially since NRG will probably offer him a shit ton of money and he can turn that team into something really special with the talent they have.
