"there will always be a communication gap" Sacy literally speaks great english but go off I guess. MF acts like you cant play on a team with different countries represented. Acend won champions in 2021 with players who's primary languages were Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Finnish. FPX won Coppenhagen with Swedish, Latvian, Ukrainian, Danish and Russian. 5 players that speak perfect English and 1 player who still has months left to learn the semi-decent english needed for communication does not mean shit lol.
The OpTic comparison is kinda dumb too, ardiis is arguably better than yay due to not mechanics but flexibility, so they hardly lose anything there, the controller role is the only role I can see being an issue and that can mostly become FNS job or can stay with s0m who already plays it. Leaf I wouldn't say is FAR better but I guess yaeh, Xeppa and Zellsis are absolutely not top 5 initiators in the world and even in Americas I can think of 5 players that top them easy. yay is yay sure, dephh is anything but a weak igl, I don't care what the record between C9 and XSET is you should care that XSET got top 6 at champions with dephh and C9 fell at 4th in the LCQ.
