i genuinely think this is the best NA team possible and no team would beat this in terms of firepower + roles.
Aspas (duelist)
s0m (smokes)
N4RRATE (flex + secondary duelist)
Verno (initiator)
JohnQT (viper + senti)
are u stupid? clearly you havent seen him play at all, cs and valorant hes been absolutely insane on stage in almost every match/tournament hes played, hes constantly got a high rating and is up there mechanically with most other duelists from na and even other regions in my opinion. And if you've seen any of his streams you'll know that he can also play almost every single role really well.
Ok so hear me out here. I got a banger. In true dream team fashion no double ups
-Smokes Demon1 (Brim jail for life, with a side of omen), man was always a cracked brim (and some astra) and his time on NRG showed he's in the Tenz, Cryo role where they're cracked at holding an angle and getting some timings but can't entry or have the flexibility across multiple duelists to play primary.
-Sentinal/igl JohnQT, I think he just edges out king but its more of a coinflip but no double ups and well you can't have an americas dream team without Aspas
-Initiator Heat, Honestly just the correct answer. Bros the best thing that could happen to KRU after Keznit joined
-Duelist, Aspas, Self explanatory move on
-Flex initiator , JonahP, Hopefully man can function outside of the G2 System if not it's probs over but like it's that or double up igls with saadhak
Honestly turning old jett players that never learned how to hold w or play raze into smokes players is a tried and tested science at this point. But also jett players that never quite figure out how to play raze raze is a very NA only kinda issue. I mean Tenz, Cryo, Demon1 and Yay all went from absolutely nuclear when they could just sit hold an angle on escape agents to just kinda useless placid and unimpactful on raze
