From what I've seen I lean towards saying its the latter. (I have no concrete evidence of anything, just my opinion)
Munchkin supposedly was deep in negotiations with GENG to re-sign but they fell through. I'd assume that also applies to Meteor
sylvan is probably good since he was signed recently, but idk about izu wasn't he mid, replace izu with someone better and this is probably the best pacific team
yeah i remember his yoru on breeze but that's about it, stax isn't as good as someone like munchkin so if t1 want to be the best pacific team, imo get someone who is cracked or izu has to step it up
I think it was because there was some role issue between him and sayaplayer (actually the team in general) towards the end they found the groove of Izu being main duelist and letting sayaplayer play chamber. If Izu is sticking to being their main duelist I think he can get even better
