Fnatic scouting

So good !!! They don't look for ex-CS tier 2/tier 3 pros but young talents. Players like Derke, Alfajer were nobody before Valorant

Derke was one of the rising talents in finnish csgo scene along with jamppi I think? Agree about alfajer

Yes but you literally said in your post that they don't look for t2/t3 pros when derke was one himself. Derke definitely wouldn't have stayed a tier 2/3 pro because he was rated highly in the finnish scene but thats not relevant

oh idk about that, I didn't follow cs scene much just knew he was a spoken off highly. Doesn't matter anyway he switched very young, he's just 19 rn and top 5 itw (imo). I don't think anyone who switched before 19 should be called washed or a tier 3 pro in cs
