Will any MENA talent get picked up before 2026 or are they doomed to not have any representation in Tier 1

MENA solution: North Africa can go to EU, and Middle East players can become west Asia. It’s for the best of the region.

I am really sorry I didn't specify it, but I was talking about the players of MENA aside from JohnQT and avez in Tier 1 play.

Ok

(Though ZE1SH did play for KC in 2023 when newzera left so he's technically a player, see https://www.vlr.gg/player/matches/302/ze1sh)

Does MENA have any good players worth representing the region in VCT?

The whole The Ultimates roster, plus Akai (who is doing military service right now) and k1Ng (most consistently good player outside of that team + the best Pakistani player in the world)
