You forget Zekken...

Just imagine what KC could have achieved if they had a proper IGL and Scream was focusing on his one-taps as a duelist...

I know Scream and Nivera will not continue competing on KC, but just imagine this roster:

Scream -> duelist: after the huge Jett nerfs and the meta shifting to Raze (and potentially other duelists like Neon and Phoenix too) he could be a great entry player (his Raze was really good in LCQ).

Nivera -> sentinel: his Killjoy and Cypher are good and with the meta shifting away from Jett we will probably see more Chamber picks, which means Nivera could op without any limitations.
FUN FACT: the first agent that he ever played on VCT was Killjoy!

sh1n -> flex: he is a promising young player and KC seems like they really want him to stay. During LCQ he mostly played flash initiators (Skye and Breach), which means he could be the main support player for the team.

Enzo -> initiator: could be the IGL and main recon initiator of the team. During Ascension his most played agent was Sova. He is a very experienced player.

kAdavra -> controller: promising talent from the French regional league. He was the highest rated player (tied with TakaS) during Split 2.

This roster on paper looks solid and has a much higher potential than the previous one (especially since Enzo would be the IGL in the place of ScreaM).
Unfortunately is not going to happen, but JUST IMAGINE WHAT KC COULD DO...

Because of the OFF//SEASON and the massive roster changes that are happening right now I was thinking of some great potential lineups for a few VCT teams that hadn't the best season this year (like Karmine Korp), that can definitely help them improve.
While searching for a roster that can transform KC from one of the worst EMEA teams to a title contender I found out about kAdavra.

If KC wants a great smokes player with carry potential they should really consider signing this guy.

He is French (huge advantage if KC wants to continue being a french only speaking team), controller main but can also play sentinels (he has good stats on both Cypher and Killjoy) and most importantly really consistent (some stats below).

5th best rated player in Challengers League France Revolution: Split 1 -> https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1425/challengers-league-france-revolution-split-1

Best rated player overall (tied with TakaS who had better ACS, but kAdavra had better KD) in Challengers League France Revolution: Split 2 -> https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1577/challengers-league-france-revolution-split-2

Best rated player (also had the highest kill differential with +27 while his whole team went negative) in Grand Finals (qualification game for Ascension EMEA btw) against Gentlemates, the team that eventually won the whole thing -> https://www.vlr.gg/214676/gentle-mates-vs-mandatory-challengers-league-france-revolution-split-2-gf

TLDR: kAdavra is a great French controller main and KC should consider signing him.

Actually now that I'm thinking it better 100T may opt to go with FNS-s0m duo (I just hope they compete next year)

Basically what Zellsis said on Twitter/X (even though he was probably just gathering impressions)

Just checked his player profile (https://www.vlr.gg/player/12793/xeus) and his most recent stats look insane ngl (though they are probably boosted because he plays against t3-t2 teams). For instance here is a match he went 33-5 with over 500 acs:

When a player is not even eligible to play in vct because of his age (under 18) and so many teams already want him you know he is something special...

Actually Demon1 reached the exact same kill differential just 2 weeks ago against PRX...
