consider language barrier + team chemistry issues. There can only be 1 import.
i was cooking a roster only to realise how stupid i am 😭😭

(i still wanna know the answer btw)
can mako speak good english? and will aspas play a more entry role like he did in 2022. if so yea this team will dominate but id rather have chronicle ove alfa acuse the team alr has a senti in the from of nats and they need a very good flex consisnt flex like chronicle or forsaken.
aspas
leo
nats
mako
forsaken/chronicle(favor forsaken cause double duelist comps become a very viable thing)
i remember it as well cause ive been a gambit fan all my life brother bear. i remember chronicle chamber as well. its js that this is 2025 and not 2022 anymore and other teams have gotten a lot better. chronicle should still be able to perform really well on chamber but raze i think is too much in this age
aspas - primary duelist (can speak english/americas import)
forsaken - flex (best apac flex, can probably flex onto sentinel pretty well)
free1ng - tejo (best tejo itw)
stax - initiator/igl (sova/fade/kayo)
Persia - smokes (was gonna say Karon, but i don't know if he can speak english)
aspas for obvious reasons
forsaken can literally flex onto anything and play well
free1ng was picked up from tier 2 and has been playing nothing but tejo. before you ask if he can speak english or not, he played for Rare Atom, he had to play with one HK'er and UdoTan alongside two chinese players, so my bet is that he can speak english fairly well.
stax obviously can speak english because of his time on 2024 T1 with Rossy, you can literally hear him speaking English
Persia, i dug a little bit into his team history and found that he played for Orangutan, an INDIAN team, in 2022. Surely he can speak English.
didn't want to go into generic korean teams, because apac is literally just korea rn.
1super team each region.
1import per team
China is scuffed idk who can speak english.
Only active players

and a player like Sayf has shown that igling effects your fragging performance anyway. The necessity of an igl that frags heavy imo depends on two things:
A really good igl can lead a team to victory. I think Nats being able to frag more suggests that he either doesn't IGL as much as Boaster does (Theres clips of Boaster literally micromanaging the team, which I think he's trying to stop doing) and they have another good player that can help mid round.
Which I think boaster has shown he's capable of fragging if he can focus on it.
For Americas:
Aspas (Duelist)
Trent (Initiator)
Kingg (Flex/second caller)
Valyn (Smokes/IGL)
Shyy (Sentinel)
Aspas has to be with 2022-2023 mentality to make it work
EMEA:
Vitality xD
For APAC is basically T1:
Buzz (Duelist)
Stax (Initiator/IGL)
D4vai (Flex)
Karon (Smokes)
Meteor (Sentinel)
Maybe I'm trolling with this but I think so highly of Karon
