GC to Tier 1 (ROTW)

#1

LimiNaL

Are there any standout players who are showing that they are well and above the rest of the GC competition and could be viable options to be picked up by actual tier 1 teams? I'm more asking about everywhere other than NA since everyone already has their opinions on it. (Just trying to find a reason to watch GC games from other regions since I'm bored)

Mint and suzu(although recently suzu hasn't been looking good)

Mint is probably the reason I'm even asking this considering her recent performances but that was only by reading stats on vlr. Were her games exciting and what kind of player is she if you had to compare them to someone

Welp shit I have no idea about that if you ask me😅 , mint this year has been phenomenal, last year she didn't had this kind of performance so idk , but I'd say suzu is more consistent throughout splits.

It's 50:50 unless some org t1 actual tries to know how potential/mid that human
We still don't know why that human still on GC instead trying new challenge for that human it's self

I think the main issue with bringing them to tier 1 is the fact there's none in tier 2, regardless of the region, which then leaves you with no relevant sample size, however if we exclude NA GC, I do think Vania and rezq (G2G), Bizerra (TL BR), enerii (Xipto) are all great shooters and I see the potential to do well in T2. Outside of GC, I hope katsumi makes it to T2 aswell with Burger Boyz. Once we have more GC / fe players in T2, there would eventually be one to make it to T1.

I'm aware Bob was in T2, but she left early on her own terms which is unfortunate and personally not big enough of a showcase of what she could've been in SaD to talk about T1.

Shes been in tier 2 NA for ages not just on SaD lol. She also won first strike...

Went ahead and looked a bit further, I see the First Strike win, but if Bob was officially announced as the first woman by KA to be in Challengers when SaD qualified (what I consider to be the only tier 2 validation), then this in a way means she doesn't have tier 2 experience outside of SaD, unless I'm missing something.

Was Soniqs ever qualified for Challengers? All I see on vlr.gg is just qualifiers, they got close but didn't actually get in.

right now, none in the next 5 years, too much talent to sort through, t1 teams are barely discovering t2 talent until
this year (johnqt, primmie, hiro)

primmie is not t2 ig .. he was discovered through ranked he doesn't have any t2 comp record like fair t2 competition

that proves my point even more, so many ranked demons aside from t2 that GC has no chance to even get 1 player in the next 5+ years

I think there are atleast 7 GC players itw that can play Tier 2 at a decent level.

And its hard to predict because its a different level with higher lvl of firepower so its hard to say how any of the players would adapt and how fast. Same applying to tier 1 but at a higher level

no one mentioned vania.. best EMEA player by fair

vania, florescent, bstrdd, bizerra, daiki (as an IGL), katsumi, enerii and bob are the only true gc goats that can compete at least in t2
