Do people actually believe there is a realistic chance NA CS can be revived?
Yes, I think so.
NACS is in a better position then where it was a year ago.
Although the top of NACS is at an all time low.
There is a lot more salaried teams and decent regional teams that is important to the regions development.
The likes of nouns/nrg/pa/elevate/m80/boss/wildcard are providing better competition domestically.
NACS just needs the top teams to make that 1 correct roster moves that can propel the teams forward.
M80 for example got really unlucky with the timing of Mankz stepping down, and were forced to play kato/rmr with dephh. (dephh actually did alright considering the circumstances)
With a proper eu meta igl they probably would've made the major. (they almost made it with dephh)
