xuss and al0rante need to play in VCT.
al0rante is EASILY one of the best riflers worldwide. There are clips of him destroying Fnatic in scrims (and I say that as a longtime Fnatic supporter). I don't say he is a "better" player, but his mechanics in terms of pure aiming are really insane. Dude is hitting the most insane shots with Vandal, Sheriff and Ghost.
The team is choking - no secret, but al0rante was carrying A LOT over the years. Also when FOKUS played with a better line-up (with Fizzy instead of bucher), they beat Heretics team with Wo0t, MiniBoo etc. last year. Also he played wird ardiis for a short amount of time at Heretics and before that he played at VPK and showed his talent already: https://www.vlr.gg/15301/volvo-peek-vs-funplus-phoenix-champions-tour-europe-stage-2-challengers-1-ro16/?game=all&tab=overview
al0rante has one of the best Deathmatch statistics for all pro players.

Extreme high HS rate.

Ridiculous DM stats.
76.4% of his 9122 played Deathmatches he was #1 / winning.
So yeah, im not trying to make him bigger than he is or say he is overall a better player than this one or that one, but his mechanics are insane and everyone in Europe who watches Challengers knows that. I'm 101% sure he would be great for a VCT team who builds a new roster or upgrades their roster. When there are good people around him, he can shine even more obviously and the FOKUS team at Polaris who just played a few matches together showed that. Lime, al0rante, Fizzy, Lewis and SEIDER were so insanely good for a freshly build T2 team. They even gave FUT a hard time and beat Heretics. And now imagine him at a better spot with more experienced dudes... he would be perfect as a Sentinel who hits like a robot. That is super important for a team.
Yes, I am aware of Alorante's career, and I'm not trying to downplay him here, I think he's good and deserves tier 1 tryouts but I think it's way more likely that he doesn't get picked up.
To quickly address the 3 things you mentioned, he was not very good on his time on TH and the team wasn't it, and I don't think beating them this offseason is a big achievement. And about the deathmaches, his aim is insane there is no denying that, but there are many mechanically insane players not fit for tier 1, idk if you know aleksandar in NA for example
That being said I think he's good and deserves tryouts, but there's for sure better players than him available
For the Sentinel role there are not many better players than him available. Def. not. Also he plays a very good Astra, what makes him even more valuable.
You can't compare him with Duelists or Initiators or whatever, who tend to shine much more in games. For his specific role he is one of the best in Challengers - easily Top 3.
It always depends on what a VCT team needs, what the team managers want (very important) and what would work. KC f.e. also put tomaszy on Sentinel - a player who played as a Duelist for SAW and that was working semi-well. So it's not always the best to just search on VLR for the best rated players and then start to put them on any role you need after the signing. A Controller genius like Ruxic will never play Jett on the same level as he plays his Omen - and you can transfer that logic to any non-flex player.
Currently the best EMEA Challengers players to maybe get signed are probably those (my opinion):
- soulcas 🇬🇧 🇱🇹 (resign -> TL)
- kaajak 🇵🇱
- kamyk 🇵🇱
- Ruxic 🇹🇷
- PROFEK 🇵🇱
- al0rante 🇩🇪
- Click 🇩🇪
- Lime 🇬🇧
- Minny 🇨🇿
- Izzy 🇹🇷
- xuss 🇵🇱
- Filu 🇵🇱
- Fizzy 🇵🇹
- DaviH 🇵🇹
- elllement 🇷🇸
- B1SK 🇷🇺
- Sayonara 🇷🇴 (age?)
- xeus 🇹🇷
- alexiiik 🇨🇿
It's funny because as I was reading the first lines, Tomaszy is the exact example that was coming to mind xD
But it's extremely common, Runner this year, or Wolfen last year did it mid season. I'm a big fan of rerolling duelists to new roles. Alorante's competence is for sure not just the sentinels.
Overall I agree with all those names, I would add quite a few more tho but I respect it. Overall alorante has a chance, but I don't think it would be crazy at all if he didn't get picked up, he's gonna have to perform out of his mind during tryouts
