If I had to make a prediction I'd say FURIA is gonna be the worst team in Americas next season
Who do yall think is gonna be at the bottom of the league?
like i said potter dont make miracles
almost the same team with an great duelist like jawgemo havent even reached a single playoff (only in kickoff but they had a huge advantage there)
the team now is arguably worse, with the same core, a massively worse duelist and a maybe-same-level-maybe-better sentinel (i confess i havent seen yay playing since C9 but i cant see him being worse than apoth), while everyone around got better
theres absolutely no way this team goes well. at most they will fight for playoffs again, but probably be bottom tier. people seem to forget potter, while being great, don't work that well when she doesn't have a starplayer duelist, just see how 2023 was before demon1. sym is not the same level at all
To be fair, im not entirely confident in EG ether. They have to make it work with an inexperienced duelist and a sentinel that is coming off one of his worst years in T1.
While replacing jawgemo is almost an impossible task with how flexible he is and how much firepower he brings, i think Sym, though unproven, can have enough impact for EG to take a couple games.
Apoth though, He always had great timings and brought rounds back just by himself. That doesnt mean yay cant do it ether.
I honestly think yay can become that sentinel that always just appears and makes a huge impact on certain rounds.
im trying to give faith (or cope) for this team, but it became increasingly harder since Jaw left, and after all the memes and backlash for not paying their players. It's hard for them to try and yoink a star duelist from another team.
