Underrated players

After Yay's recent performance in NA VCL,

After seeing EG pick up Demon1 from the depths of obscurity and seeing his performance on-stage against LOUD,

After seeing Cloud9 pick up 2 literal who's who couldn't even make NA tier 2 and becoming potentially the best team in the Americas league,

After seeing highlights like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfDyleAibOM

I think it's safe to say that the best players in the world aren't necessarily the players in VCT. There's huge swathes of underrated talent outside of Tier 1, and even outside the mainstream competitive scene.

Think about it, the best player in the whole world could be rotting in some tier 4 team, and if hypothetically a T1 team like NRG could pick them up, they'd be able to set them up to reach the same heights as Yay did.

And the worst part is? you wouldn't actually be able to tell that they're world-class talent until they play the best teams in the world--because until that point you could always argue that they're performing good against lower skilled opponents.

This is why t1 pros get mad at ranked when they play against 13 year olds who grind TF out. They are up and coming

That's why you need someone like McE that knows how to scout talents from T2 or even collegiate

Look at Jakee man, he's performed far above the expectations

Unironically, mCe is the most valuable pickup for any team

instead of over-paying the high salaries of proven VCT players, you could just pay mCe a high salary to scout and pick up equally skilled, cheap players and end up saving money.

You can tell they're great, but you can't tell if they're good enough to compete with Derke or Aspas.

I mean, Oxy is performing similarly well as Yay, do you think he would've performed just as well in VCT?
