Just kidding, do you think KOI are capable of reaching 1st tier valorant esports?
Tbh the team is kinda stacked, except for starkk. The guy's just there for the Spanish VRL spot.
Based in their last game (I consider the previous games irrelevant bc they kinda stomped and the last one was against a top contender for the qualifiers spot), I think starkk and PHYRN are the ones that have to level up their performances. They're not downgrading the team but they can absolutely perform better than what they did against XL.
H1ber is very good. Definite T1 talent. Sacake, Shrew also look great.
They have the potential to qualify into the main VCT league.
I would place only Guild and G2 above them, of the teams left in this qualifier. If they beat Vitality, I think they have a strong chance of making it very deep, if not all the way.
But, I don't think they will do very well in the VCT league. Acend, Gambit, Liquid, Fnatic (assuming their fifth is an upgrade), G2, and Guild all look a tier above KOI atm. Not to say they can't improve; the roster is very new.
