a lot of people are more sceptical of 'super teams' because of NRG 2024 (before FNS). So I was wondering what people think of VIT before going in to next season.
Currently the roster seems like:
Derke
Sayf
Trexx
Less
+1
This team is either going to be great or the biggest failure ever. Im just worried about all the strong egos on this team namely sayf and less. And I feel like Derke will want certain things to happen his way too since he's been a top player and expects certain things. If they all can get along and on the same page NO ONE is safe for next year. If it doesn't happen then this team will be a disaster.
The potential is there but there are some pretty obvious ways they could flop
Sayf is unreal as a duelist but he hasn’t put on a great performance on other roles since the guild days, solid yeah, but not world class
If less can’t get his English up in time, he isn’t super sociable so it’ll be interesting to see how he adapts to such a different environment
I’m also scared that he and sayf might clash, both have a history of crashing out once divergences arise
I’d be more convinced if they get a proper and established igl, give the team a bit of leadership to suppress potential conflicts but idk anyone good available
Yeah the main thing holding me from saying they are 100% winning all 3 events is mostly because idk how Sayf will be on IGL, he is a phenomenal player, but he's simply untested on the IGL role, I'm scared he will end up like scream (maybe to a lower extent). And the second main thing is the ego clash, but I honestly think Less being an import will help that, it is a new environment for him, so there is good room to use that for teambuilding.
they are all amazing players but that doesnt make a team good (as we saw with NRG) I think they will fail due too
Unproven/lackluster coach
Mid/bottom tier igl
Role swaps
Ego clashes
Due to VIT being in EMEA they will prob due well (finish upper middle) but if they played in Americas theyd prob finish around 9th
I think 9th is harsh tbh, but yeah I agree they should be on track to be at least a playoff team in EMEA
But I think this is how I would rate these issues from 1-10 (10 being most dire)
