Cmon Potter can't be THAT good to make a McDonalds roster of a bunch of unknowns + a Derrek who looked washed and Jawgemo into ANOTHER Champs winning team
RISE is like FaZe
Dangerously close to a world stage and fucked over by lack of NA seeds
Derrek had a good season with 100 Bums in 2022, making an international and taking a series against Fnatic
Supamen has looked nutty with Faze just before partnership and then in the T2 version that had no support staff
they werent until potter touched them
derrek even said he was thinking he prob going to tier2 before potter messaged him, supaman was rotting on faze. same with nature and apoth.
she took 4 players who were meant to play tier2 this year, and made wonders with it. imagine what she could to with an actual budget.
TO BE CLEAR, the players are good. NA tier2 is hella talented and theres way more tier2 players who arent actually tier2, but potter is an insane coach.
derrek even said he was thinking he prob going to tier2 before potter messaged him
Due to lack of offers, not lack of talent
NA players in theory only have 25 slots, not accounting for LATAM/actual imports
not counting G2s because they're obligated to keep 3 players from the Ascension roster I believe
