I agree with most of this list, but even as successful as Sayf has been on Vitality recently, I still think you probably have to give the #1 to Aspas. It's just... the consistency over a longer period of time. He NEVER has off maps. As someone who isn't particularly found of LEV, I still respect Aspas's supremacy. Personally I'd place Sayf at like... 6-4 or something like that. He has to prove himself more against stronger competition. The TH game today will help his case if they close out, given how good his map 2 was.

EG had a comparatively good 2024 season despite the disappointing end. Derrek, NaturE, Apoth, and Supaman have all been down on their luck before this season. At least Supa and Derrek will now be considered quality pickups for next season. Potter is the reason for that improvement. People forget that in 2023, Potter turned a 10-man team of nobodies into a 5-man team that is now considered some of the best players in the world. Yes, there is obviously some luck in accumulating such impressive players on a whim, but Coaching matters more than you think. Not one of the four players who left EG has found meaningful success in 2024, excluding maybe COM on LEV, who is commonly regarded as the weakest link on that team. I absolutely would not call 100T's acquisition of Boostio successful, given that they've gone through 2 SERIOUS sumps despite their marginal successes. Potter was the glue that made that 2023 EG team work.

I like that this lineup has four players known for impressive fragging/aim. If Jawg or Demon1 aren't on one day, s0m and Ethan would probably be able to step up. Although it has four great aimers, I think it would be wise to sign someone like Valyn instead of keeping FNS, as Valyn has had a pretty impressive amount of success in the current meta. That said, maybe the team you suggest would have enough firepower to offset FNS's fragging struggles. Regardless, I feel like the most integral part of this is signing Potter. This roster would probably be mid without her and Champs contenders with her.
