demon1 looked like prime tenz, ethan was NA's best support, marved was a top level smokes and considered optics best player, crashies is widely considered a very consistently good initi by the former optic players, and victor was also solid (idk man i cant glaze victor)
both vit and bleed are an amalgamation of star players from past years playing on teams that are not comming in their first language, as well as playing in different styles altogether. Sayf has never igled or played smokes for a consistent period of time, less never played on an english team, and derke was a system player.
Tl on the other hand did everything right. They got rid of all the players that had little to no potential, and that clearly didnt fit into the team. they replaced them with kamo, who although didnt do great on koi is young and def looks like he could be very good. Pati is a very flexible player who played flex on th, but also was able to slot in with different players and still perform. And kamyk was one of emea t2 best players and brought a lot of hype to joblife. They are doing what teams like kc and th did early last year that got them to madrid.
