I totally agree, as a PRX fan (sadge), I think their limited agent pool is holding them back. Another reason I think is holding them back, is that their whole team identity and overall mentality is being the "silly" and "funny" team, like yes, you guys can and do play wackass comps and all that but, there are reasons why meta team comps are meta. An example is the Copenhagen finals 2 years ago, alecks had told the team to quote "go full meme style," that's what caused the breeze comp in the final map.

f0rsaken and davai have both said they they cannot play Sova and Cypher to the highest of levels, and as those 2 agents are meta and vital on maps like Ascent and Split, it is hindering them. I think having something play Jett and then a flex init is probably the best choice for him.

jingg, my boy, I love him and his is legit one of the best Raze players to ever touch the agent, but he needs to learn other agents. He plays Raze and then maybe the one off Icebox Sage game, but other than that, pure Raze. For the team, he would need to learn senti, mainly cypher as stated before, they don't really have someone that can play him to the highest level, but nonetheless, senti.

I think the best roles for the team would be:
mindfreak: hard smokes
davai: flex initiator/smoke
f0rsaken: flex
something: jett/initiator flex
jingg: raze/sentinel flex

The jump from duelist to sentinel might be a big jump for jingg, but they have made him play Deadlock once, so maybe they're experimenting on that. He could try and learn from f0rsaken or davai, as they've both played sentinel to high levels.

I just want to ask, what teams seem like the most exciting in each region to watch for you?

Americas:
Me personally, I am a SEN fan so, SEN obviously, but I also think NRG with Mada and Verno will be fun to watch.
With the addition of jawg, I think G2 will be much more fun to watch, lets hope there's no more down to the last 15 second rounds for them.
Overall though, with my own personally bias, SEN

China:
Obviously EDG, KK is always going to be a highlight reel to watch.

EMEA:
VIT, KOI, and KC picking up Americas players def weren't on my bingo cards in the beginning but, hey, it'll probably be interesting to see 2 Top 5 IGLS to face off. (Boaster and Saadhak)
With the addition of Derke and Less, I think VIT will be amazing to watch, the Safy igl is questionable but, it'll either look good or dogshit.

Pacific:
I love my boys on PRX but they don't look inspiring, I really think that SPG will look good, they basically pioneered the Neon in pacific tier 2. Also, 1 of their 2 IGLS, Persia, was putting up insane numbers in Ascension, but, we'll see. DRX and T1 look insane, freeing was farming in China Ascension and BuZz is just BuZz
All in All, I am looking forward for most of the Korean teams, but mostly SPG.

you're not really lying, it's just Korea + PRX

im talking about just in NA and the T1 circuit aka, no T2 or imports. N4RRATE wouldn't be a import but he has said that he is staying in EMEA for the next season so I'm keeping him in EMEA for rn unless he goes back to NA

Internationally:
Flex : f0rsaken
Duelist : KangKang
Smoker/IGL : Boo
Initiator : Leo/Reins
Sentinel/Anchor : CHICHOO

NA:
Imma be real, basically just the SEN roster but -Sacy and +c0m/trent

EMEA:
Flex : Chronicle
Initiator : Leo or Reins
Smoker/IGL : Boo
Duelist : Derke or N4RRATE
Sentinel/Anchor : Benjyfishy

China:
Imma be real again, just the EDG roster

Pacific:
A mixture of DRX and GEN.G players but +f0rsaken for flex.

I don't think they'll change anything, they seem too content with the roster as of right now, what I think they'll do is make jinggg learn other agents, and I don't mean the off Icebox game where he plays Sage, I mean for him to really deepen his agent pool. The agents they'll most likely make him learn are Sova or Cypher as they don't have a player who can play those agents to the highest of highest level, they've put d4v41 and f0rsaken on those 2 and they don't look particularly good on them, so they'll probably make him learn one of the 2.

d4v41 himself has said that him nor f0rsaken are good at either of those 2 agents.

So what if they're chokers? They made it to ALL of the international tournaments. Which year would you have? I would personally have TH's, they made it to all 3 international events and made 2 GF's, had respectable placements regionally, and ended the year as the 2nd best team. Meanwhile SEN, while I don't hate them, they, yes, did win Madrid, but then proceeded to shit the bed in stage 2, and then made a respectable run in Champs.

I do think if you are an org the title would look pretty, now that I'm really thinking about it, I think they're equal in terms of this year.

I would honestly switch TH and SEN, while yes SEN did win Madrid, TH got to 2 GF's and both went to the final map. While TH didn't win anything, they made 2nd in 2 different international events.

SEN: 1st, DNQ, 4th.
TH: 7th-8th, 2nd, 2nd.

I know the 7th-8th might downgrade TH's year, SEN's is brought down even more by not qualifying for Shanghai.

TLDR; I would switch SEN and TH because TH had a slightly better year then SEN.

BTW, I meant the story for both teams, not just SEN or TH.

Imma be honest, I'm no huge SEN fan but I like the team as people, I also do like TH a lot, the story of both teams are amazing, but, I think people need to understand that, even thought SEN did lose to TH, this is a TH that beat a GEN.G who we thought were going to go back-to-back international wins. Another thing is that SEN finished 4th in Champions, the same as FNC last year, when FNC had the most dominant year last year and when people, me included, were completely down on SEN.

I'm still an Americas fan so I'm still rooting for LEV tomorrow so, ¡VAMOS! LEV! Also, talking about tomorrows game, I think it'll be quite close, I feel like it'll come down to the read and understanding of the game from both teams because the mechanics on both teams are so insane that I think just trying to aim diff your opponent in this match won't work.

TLDR;
I don't think we should be down on SEN, nor should SEN fans be sad that their team lost, they still made a respectable placing at this years champs.
