With how the rosters are currently shaping out it looks like we are headed into the most comptitive and entertaining season to watch this next year.
Every roster move so far seems to be an upgrade / sidegrade to last year. Fewer recycled players and bottom feeder teams like furia and eg have good scraps to choose from and decent teams being built. Talent pool is much better this year (keznit cant find a t1 team because of how competitive duelist role is, yay released from eg even though he is arguably the best in their roster).
Clear top 3 in G2, NRG, AND MIBR. With super aggressive teams that can go on hot streaks, envy, 100t, c9, etc. Furia most likely wont even be the worst for at least a stage.
Only downside is the lack of brazilian and latam talent being brought into t1. Definitely need more southern rookie players to be given a chance because of how insane they are. Just look at the new talent this year in sato, okeanos, cortezia, virtyy, etc. Need to bring in and or curate better igls and coaches that can speak the same language or try to implement some sort of english speaking hybrid system. Hoping that this offseason they workshop a bit and work with the rest of americas to develop players.
Tldr: Americas will be cooking this year.
