Clearly this was a last second pick after the G2 situation. But it still baffles me that they were picked, Faze and TSM don’t have very good reputation so that makes sense but in time we will see.

can you take a moment to appreciate how clouted TenZ is? he has so many damn fans because he's just SOOOOO good at the game!
I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is if they're the best on ONE main agent! This will prove that TenZ plays jett since he's simply the best jett in the world!

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta, TenZ will unleash his chamber on the rest of the world.
He is not killing 40+ per map because Ratzam tells TenZ that he can't change his mouse or sens during the game which really messes up flow... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you, but SEN all try to make individual plays which prevents TenZ from DOMINATING.
Yeah they do have very good ownership with OWL and CDL being based around Los Angeles.
Though it benefits eg that they have a better relationship with riot.
Slight issue with the guard is that they arent as well known as their branding is mainly diversified due to all those franchised teams requiring a certain naming format
EG was NOT a last second pick because G2 didn't make it, G2 was replaced by MiBR (which was previously rumored to be NiP), EG was confirmed from the start because of huge infrastructure, clean records, good relation with riot and huge financial backing.
As for The Guard, it was just because it's a new org which was formed just this year (not talking about the LA Gladiators brand) and has no history with riot, it just doesn't make sense to give them a slot over some LCS orgs. Exact same reason applied to XSET.
