T1 NA KR superteam

#1

KoreanOverlord

Now that joe marsh pretty much confirmed they are staying in NA and are looking to build a KR/NA superteam what players do you see them picking up?

KR players that could be bought out or trialed:
Seoldam
Munchkin
Hyeoni
Sylvan
Chibab
Harry
Sayaplayer

NA players that could be bought out or trialed:
Ban
Governor
Sinatraa
C0m
jonaa6

I dont follow the NA scene as much so I dont know many players that have potential to join. Maybe some OW players? Boostio, sayaplayer, babybay were all mid low tier OW pros that are doing well in Valorant so I can see maybe ANS project part 2 happening with like xzi or smth.

A roster like this could be interesting

Steel
Twhifo
Ban
Munchkin
Xeta

What gets really interesting, is if Xeta has a green card, he technically counts as a american player, and then T1 can bring in 2 korean imports, so they could technically sign munchkin AND seoldam, two clout monsters

steel is Bangladeshi tho

(Joshua “steel” Nissan is a retired Bangladeshi professional CS:GO electrical-sports (esports) player. He was known for his in-garage-leading (IGL) skills and he currently works as a part-time mechanic at 100Trucks “100T” where he repairs vehicles and yells at customers for smoking in garage)

Sylvan or Munchkin are the best imports they could choose imo, with Sylvan being much better than pwny on smokes (he’s like a mini MaKo)

It’s sad that they aren’t moving to KR, but I guess this would be the 2nd best outcome

this is the best outcome

idc about them joining kr if theyre getting a franchise spot, as long as they make money

them being in t3 NA valorant made 0 money which is why I opposed it, but if they're gonna milk the NA audience with a franchise spot fuck yeah corpa babyyyy

Munchkin has played in mixed OWL rosters before and was in NA for 2-3 years, he can definitely speak at least SOME English

Isn't Ban Korean tho? And I don't mean Korean residing in NA like Thwifo, I mean like a Korean who is considered an import from Korea. So a potential roster of Steel, Thwifo, Ban, Munchkin, Xeta would have 3 Korean imports which is one too many than they are allowed to have.

Some players tend to have their ethnicity as their vlr flag take example knights genghsta or TSM seven, he's Korean american

wait I dont get it, I thought the roster will stay as is and the only changes are Xeta and Autumn so they're actually rebuilding from scratch??

Ban sounds definetely like a strong pickup for a big org like T1, Munchkin also can move to NA, he played in english speaking rosters when he was in OW so he wont have any problems, i think they might look to good tier 2 players for smokes and sentinel, i think Ange has been looking pretty consistent for a very unstable DarkZero roster and iyen deserves to get out of Soniqs, his chamber is great and plays a super good passive viper

Watching seoldam play pro again would be cool. Unlikely but would be fun to see. Chances of this would increases if T1 didn't make franchising in NA so they went to Korea instead.

Theyre guaranteed franchise in NA

I thought they had said they wanted to stay in NA but they weren't guaranteed to be in the franchise. I could have missed this and they are guaranteed. All I know is that on the George Geddes stream he said things could change.

T1 already had Sayaplayer and forced him to change his name to Spyder. I don’t believe he would want to go back with the success he has found with The Guard
