I don’t see how people could see them thrive but then fanbases don’t want a team to take a shot on someone because there 26 year old favorite player shits the bed but they don’t want a change to make the team better

nepotism and connections are such a fucking dumb problem. B-b-but experience, b-b-but player roles, b-b--but unpproven
so many Americas players that could be replaced by younger players but “ experience and past history “ overrules skill
The only excuse that seems real tbh is unproven. There is always a chance of a player struggling with an audience when they're used to just being in a room with their team and coach. But 1 or 2 experienced players should be enough to curb that, you don't need to have 5 veterans, you can have 3 youngsters and 2 vets which balances out nicely and can feed off of each others morale.
Basically unproven players are more susceptible to have a weak mentality on stage because you don't know if they can handle it, older players you already know if they can or can't depending on their historic performance.
I agree with this, th is the perfect example with boo and 4 youngsters
there’s so many cracked aimers in tier 2s across the world that a IGL and a Coach could probably just turn into the Next Aspas or something
it is about finding a mix, all those are important but you need to also find young stars, half the teams just are to big of pussies too. Hopefully NAVI gets their head out their ass and builds a team around Shao and Suygetsu

your asses aren't ready
why would they leave ( despite obviously being better), they have 4 more majors to win
aleksib has 6 majors coming his way for all the undeserved struggle in his career
I find it so funny i went in yalls discord and called yall corny and all 3 of you responded saying the same shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The issue with younger players, is essentially the same issue with GC players and why they will essentially never get picked up, because they dont really have T1 experience. This mentality is not wrong, in any sport a veteran is favored over a youngster, but the issue is val's season is too limited to test a youngster and take a gamble on them/gc player. This means, majority of the times, orgs have to play safe and try to not be too experimental.
The teams that break that mold like TH can succeed, or like KC they will falter at the final steps. Orgs can pick up questionable players, like Geng and do well, or pick up good players and do bad, sen 23.
Its all shit because there is no direct comparison for a player not playing in T1, and taking a gamble is too big of a risk when esports is already such a shitty business. Yes the 26 year old is falling in terms of aim, but the things he brings outside of it is what is valued when we do risk assessments. All in all, I blame Riot for not having a season where teams can play and test, I mean at one point Sen had like 3-4 different teams in 22, nowadays just one switch and everyone thinks its a little too late.
