SEN the best performing NA team, made top 4 with 3 imports...
the next best is g2 which finished top 8

you could swap russia and america. I wouldnt be too mad

Just use 2023 EG for team USA. I know in the VCT jawgemo isn't labeled as an import so he definitely has US citizenship but I guess they might loose apoth and reformed

this is the problem tho, every taiwan player in the chinese league claims their identity as chinese and not taiwanese (who play in pacific), I didnt want to get in to the political bs so I didnt mention taiwan

Did they say so? Then sorry for that, But world cup requires them the nationality of the country so S1mon can't. (Unless he's dual citizenship) Or that's just because CN league is tier 1 whereas there's no Taiwanese team in Pacific.

or something like that. since u said cned and he only plays jett u could also get tenz back on jett and get some1 for mada instead

S1mon/YHchen (depends if you want a secondary caller)
Spring
Yuicaw

Would have one of yuicaw or spring on full time senti and the other on flex. Luke unleashed fully cause he doesn't have to be translating. Very flexible team with very good fragging and can cook up hard with berlin

I don't think they will still perform well if the players come from various teams. What matters most for the CN league players is their teamwork. So far, only EDG, which has maintained their main rosters for three years, has shown that teamwork.

Taiwan's team is hella underrated

Duelist - Spring
Flex - BerLIN
Controller - YHchen (IGL)
Initiator - S1Mon
Sentinel - Yuicaw

In my opinion BerLIN has really good aim and can be a demon if he's not IGLing, the only issue is he ints a lot which ruins his K/D
YHchen as an IGL nearly took a dead and buried JDG team to Champions
S1Mon of course one of the best rookies of 2024, Yuicaw was arguably Wolves and ASE's best player, and Spring is a great talent

It's a personal preference due to Jemkin being a complete duelist with being able play on more duelist agents and having a team mindset. Something is more of a cracked individual.

xues is crazy and for sure should be considered in franchising next year. PTC and westside play in tier 2 and are consistent players, I think PTC also has a surprise potential like what something had when he joined PRX. This is the only brazil team that made sense to me that has players who are still playing/in form.
