Super stacked with talent, no?

There's a lot of already proven players, up and coming stars and a huge amount of talented tier-2 prospects who still haven't got their chance

Korea has one of the deepest talent pools in the world, in my opinion

Na in my opinion has deeper talent pool but Korea for sure 2nd. JP t2 league has been so good for growing talents.

NA is probably first but Korea is for sure 2nd
Turkey is 3rd, I think?

True Turkey 3rd and most won't agree IG but I think china can be contender for that spot too. Lots of talents present but they have no good coaches to realize their potential in my opinion.

yeah, China has some untapped talents that can develop with better coaching

JP tier2 is the best place to shine and go to tier 1 if you are from another country. EZ dominate. Jemkin & something already proved it. Right now, Seoldam is looking good again destroying every top JP t2 teams.

Na is the most stacked region when it comes to talent. But they will never ever reach work ethic of the east. I still expect them to win more events tho

yeah, Korean orgs kinda cheaped
Korean orgs mostly hunted free agents, when they easily could've invested more and built a very solid All-Korean team

It did feel like the 2023 korean rosters struggled with striking the balance between the old stars and the emerging talents.
GEN.G have found a good balance by also shuffling old jett superstars like meteor onto sentinel.

2025 could be another great year if like DRX/T1 could get a stew / yoman / h4te which haven't had their big opportunity on a top korean org yet.

yoman is great, he has literally done nothing to deserve the level of hype he’s getting, stew is the goat tho. h4te aight

JDG still has the pieces to be a very solid team, imo

Stew and Viva are a crazy duo and the supporting cast is not that bad
I have faith in them, they could be a lot better

Reminds me of how bad T1s management is when it comes to finding korean talent, seeing their academy roster proves that they will never learn and them signing stax and basically backfiring on their international project due to the success of gen.g

They should just kick xccurate, rossy, and carpe. Get fresh Korean talents. Starcraft, LOL, Valorant, etc, Korea has so many insane gamers. No need to get talent from elsewhere.

i have been a hater of autumn for a while

i remember him comparing valorant to football in the sense that you bring global talents together but that doesnt work in a country like korea

he could have had a stacked roster with stew and k1ng etc but oh well

Surely there are more cracked russian players even better than what we have now. It's hard for them to join a t1 team because they need to leave their country. Jemkin and something was able to do it by going to Japan. something even had to sacrifice his relationship with his family for his decision. He said before that "no one supports me" in one of the vct trailers while his other teammates thanked their family and friends.
